3 ]' R, B' J* r3 e4 QNative speaker在轻松的日常对话中,语调常不自觉加快而出现连音,这和课堂中所教授的标准英文是非常不一样的。这种连音在美剧中就比较常见,不少人由于不懂连音而听得一头雾水。要想说一口漂亮的地道口语,你就得学会说这些连音哦。

我们来听一段对话。在第一遍中,会将每句话先用较慢的语速念一遍,再用较快的语速念一遍;第二遍则是完整的快速对话。要注意快速状态下 your / you're 的连音发音哟。

大家有没有注意到MARIA的这句话,"They're fine. How about your family?" 中仍然说的是 your 而不是 yer ,这是因为如果在句子中需要强调 your / you're 时,它们就不再发成yer。此句中MARIA强调问:“你”家里如何?因此还是念做your。 |
