今天继续开始辅音学习,重点练习讲解了/d/的发音:
1. 辅音发音太重,可以试着舌头位置往后移,接触硬腭。
2. sort of,r后面的t发音在美音中会变成/d/;forget about it,两个单词末尾的t因为在两个元音之间都会连读,变成/d/。
3. 单词末尾t,d的区分靠元音。
4. 动词过去式-ed有三个发音:
/t/,在清辅音后面,比如missed,stopped,washed;
/d/,在浊辅音和元音后面,比如listened,played;
/?d/,在/t/,/d/的发音后面,比如visited,waited,这里的发音没有太注意过,之前一直以为是/id/,又解决了一个盲点。
不过在句子中,结尾的t,d都经常弱读连读,比如对话中的decided to,tried to里的d都省略了,rained all day,watched a DVD里的d都和后面的元音进行了连读。
要注意的发音:
1. David /ei/;
2. Diana 元音中间加了j;
3. our,them在句子中不需要强调的话都可以弱读和连读:
repaird them
forgot our date
4. CD, ABC, DVD, PDF 重音在最后一个字母上;
5. address 做名词动词读音是/?'dres/,美音中的名词也可以读成/'?dres/;
6. going to可以在口语中读成gonna,I am going to 可以读成I'm gonna,还可以更简单的读成Imna;
可以学习的表达:
1. card表示“优势”“老一套”的意思
1. Play one's cards right
2. Play the XX card
It is no use to play the I AM SORRY card.
She is tired of his playing the I LOVE YOU card.
2. 爽约,放鸽子
stand sb up: You stood me up yesterday and I tried to call you at least 20 times.
show up: You didn't show up.
no-show: There were some 20 no-shows this morning.
