英語筆記

1.前一個單詞的尾音與后一個單詞的首音相同，第一個/t/不發(fā)音，讀作/r?'z?stemp/。

2.pull one's leg 指“跟某人開玩笑”。

3.diet pills 是指“減肥藥”。

4.That's 的/ts/與your 的/j/連讀為/t?/，that's your 連讀為/ðæ t? ?/。

英語語音語調(diào)

/ts/+/j/的連讀

你聽到的that's your的發(fā)音并不是/ðæts j?/，而是/ðæ t? ?/，這是因為/ts/與/j/發(fā)生了輔音與輔音的連讀，變成了另外一個輔音/t?/，這是輔音與輔音相遇的一種變音情況。

再如：

I like its yellow paint inside.

我喜歡它里面漆成黃色。

its yellow/?ts'jel??/→/?'t?el?? /.

That's your task today.

這是你今天的工作。

that's your /ðæts j?/→ðæ t??//。
