发音规则一
辅音+元音
一句话中相邻的两个单词,前一个单词以辅音结尾,后一个单词以元音开始,拼读成“辅音+元音”。
讲解:你还记得汉语拼音中有些单词xi'an(西安)、ku'ai(酷爱)吗?如果去掉隔音符,就成了xian(先)、kuai(快)了。英文中几乎所有的句子都是从头拼到尾,简单地说:连音就是两个单词相遇能拼读就拼,不能拼读就让过。
例如:Take~it~easy
短语练习(大声读出来喔):
1.far~away:It's not far~away from here.
2.in~an~hour:I should be there in~an~hour.
3.later~on:I'm going to see a movie later~on.
4.put~it~on:Here's your sweater.Put~it~on.
5.stand~up:Stand~up and stretch for a while.
6.take~care~of:I'll always take care~of you.
7.take~it~easy:Take~it~easy!Everything is going to be fine.
8.take~off:Please fasten your seat belt.we will take~off shortly.
9.there~are:There~are forty students in my class.
10.work~out:I work~out every day to keep fit.
句子练习:
1.come~on!cheer~up!
2.keep~it~up!
3.never give~up!
4.I mean~it.
5.I've got~a lot~of work to do.
6.May I have~a cup~of milk?
7.What do you think~of~it?
发音规则二
元音+元音
一句话中相邻的两个单词,前一个单词以元音结尾,后一个单词以元音开始,则在两个元音之间加上一个轻微的[j]或[w]的音,拼读成“元音+[j]或[w]+元音”。
[i:]或[eɪ]结尾的元音+[j]+元音:
1.see us→see[j]us
Come and see~us again soon.
2.be over→be[j]over
It will be~over soon.
3.be able→be[j]able
Will you be~able to come tomorrow?
4.say it→say[j]it
Could you say~it again please?
5.pay Ann→pay[j]Ann
Please pay~Ann her salary.
以[u:]或[əʊ]结尾的元音+[w]+元音:
1.do it→do[w]it
Don't do~it again.
2.go up→go[w]up
Let's go~upstairs and have dinner.
3.show us→show[w]us
Can you show~us something else.
注:元音与元音的连音是一种自然滑过后带出来的音。当你的发音接近流利时,你会发现不用刻意去发[j]和[w]就可以有,所以尽管放松地去练习,模仿是较好老师。
发音规则三
省略【h】的连读
在连音规则中,以“h”开头的单词[h]音近乎省略。因为[h]发音很特殊——只是出气没有摩擦,所以拼读时好像被省略了。
1.Does~he know?
2.What~happened?
3.Please give~him a hand!
