我们将复杂的(complicated)语音规则总结成五大发音要点,使一般人都能掌握(master)。它们是:长元音和双元音饱满;短元音急促有力;连音、略音和咬舌头。 一、长元音和双元音饱满
鬼鬼祟祟的英文就是鬼鬼祟祟(sneaky; lousy)的元音造成的!只要把元音发饱满(full; plump),你的英语立刻会变得悦耳动听。那些英美流行歌手就是元音饱满的典范!
Mike likes to write by the nice bright light at night.
麦克喜欢在夜晚明亮的灯光旁写作。[八次疯狂张嘴,元音极其饱满!]
I like my style.
我喜欢我的风格。
二、短元音急促有力
Jim must study a little bit more.
杰姆必须再多下一点功夫。
Let’s get together again.
让我们找一天再聚一聚。
三、连音
I am working on-it.
我正在努力。[美国总统常用]
I’ll think-it-over.
我会仔细考虑的。
四、略音
第一条规则:以某音结尾的单词+同音开始的单词--只发一次即可!
You ate-too much.
你吃得太多了。
I don’t know what-to-do.
我不知道该做些什么。[两个辅音连接,只读后一个]
第二条规则:以[t],[d],[k],[g],[p]和[b]+以辅音开始的单词前面的发音“点到为止”,舌头达到发音中位,但不送气!
Ask-Bob-to-sit-behind-me.
让鲍勃坐在我后面。
五、咬舌头
There are thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three feathers[羽毛]on that bird’s throat.
在那个鸟的颈部有三万三前三百三是三根羽毛。
Father and mother went through thick and thin.
不管是顺境还是逆境,父母总是同甘共苦。[同甘苦,共患难]
