　　英語筆記

　　1.winter中的/t/消音，讀作/?w?n?/。

　　2.尾音/t/消音，口語中讀作/θæ?ks?lɑ/。

　　3.green fingers 意思是“善于擺弄花草，精通園藝技能”。

　　4.flatter 中/t/在兩元音/æ/和/?/之間產(chǎn)生濁化，讀作/?flæt?/。

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　起“消音”作用的/n/

　　口語中，如果一個單詞中的/n/之后緊跟著一個輔音，這個輔音一般會受到/n/的影如：

　　winter/?w?nt?/冬季，/t/受到/n/的影響不發(fā)音，讀作/?w?n?/，與winner的發(fā)音剛好相同;

　　Internet/'?nt?:net/網(wǎng)絡(luò)，/t/受到/n/的影響不發(fā)音，讀為/'?nt?:ne/;

　　twenty/'twent?/二十，/n/后面的/t/不發(fā)音，讀作/'twen?/;

　　我們可以將/n/看作是一個“消音器”，輔音只要出現(xiàn)在它后面，就休想再出聲。
