What will (h)e /wili/do? Has (h)e done it before? Tell (h)im to ask (h)er…
5)将多个单词利用连读爆破等拼和在一起。如: gotta(got to) gonna(going to) kinda(kind of) lotsa(lots of) gimme(give me)
6. 强读式和弱读式:
在一个句子,有些词说得又轻又快,而且较为含糊,有些词则说得又重又慢,而且较为清晰。那些说得响亮而清晰的词就是句子重音所在。实词(包括名词、实义动词、形容词、副词、数词疑问词等)一般都接受句子重音,为重读词,采用强读式;虚词(包括介词、代词、连词、冠词、助动词、情态动词等功能词)一般都不接受句子重音,为非重读词,采用弱读式。 6.1 一般规律:
1)弱读式只出现在句子的非重读词中。如:Pass me/m?/ the/e?/ book. me、the弱读。
2)单词单独出现或在句首或句尾时,都采用强读式。如:What are you listening to/tu:/?
3)被特别强调的词,无论实词还是虚词都采用强读式。如:I am/?m/ Peter. 我就是皮特。
6.2 虚词弱读规律:
1)长音变短音,如:she/?i:/弱读/??/。
2)元音前面的辅音被省略,如:him/h?m/弱读/?m/。 3)辅音前面的元音被省略,如:am/?m/弱读/m/。

4)元音一般弱读为/?/,如:can/k?n/弱读/k?n/。 5)部分虚词有多种弱读式,如:would/w?d/弱读/?d,d/。
7. 浊化:
1)/s/ 后面的清辅音要浊化。 如: /k/浊化成/g/: scar/school/discussion /t/浊化成/d/: stand/student/mistake /p/浊化成/b/: spring/spirit/expression
2)美音中,当/t/出现在两个元音之间并且处于非重读位置的时候,/t/需要浊化成一个近似于/d/的音。这样,writer听起来和rider 的发音几乎没有区别。如: Letter/water/better/duty/bitter/city I got it. Would you please pick it up? 注:/t/如果处于重读位置的话,即使在两个元音之间也不需要浊化。请比较: 清晰的/t/ I'talian a'tomic La'tino pho'tographer
浊化的/t/
'Italy 'atom 'Latin 'photograph
3)美音中,当/t/前面是一个元音,后面是一个模糊的/l/,且处于非重读位置,/t/也需要浊化成一个近似于/d/的音。如: Battle/bottle/cattle/little/rattle/settle
4) 美音中,当/t/前面是一个清辅音或前鼻音/n/,后面是一个元音,且处于非重读位置,/t/也需要浊化成一个近似于/d/的音。如: Twenty/fifty/center/after/faster/actor/sister/yesterday 朗读练习:
1. There are many things to consider when you are looking for a house, whether you intend to buy or only rent. After all, it is going to be your home, perhaps for quite a long time, and you want to be happy with it. You have to decide exactly what

kind of house you want, how much you can afford to pay, and the type of neighborhood you wish to live in. However, it’s always easy to forget all above, because it’s most probably that you’ll fall in love with the house for sale at the first sight. 2. Youth
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite for what's next, and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.
