当为了强调某个动词时,一般会重读前面的助动词,如果前面没有助动词,需要添加助动词do然后重读,eg. He has (重读) done his work, 为了强调他“做”; he spoke, 为了强调他确实说话了,应该为 he did (重读) speak。
6、can & can't发音区别
I can help you. 重音放在help上; I can’t help you. 重音放在can’t上,发音依然为can, 但随其后的’t 做稍微停顿。 I can help you,如果把重音放在can上,外国人会误认为不能帮他。
7、thirteen & thirty发音区别
thirteen 重音在thir’teen, thirty重音放在第一个音节上’thirty.
连读
1. “辅音 + 元音”连读
在同一个意群里,如果相邻两词中前者以辅音结尾,后者以元音开头,就要将辅音与元音连读。如: I'm ﹀ an ﹀ English boy. Dad asks toleave ﹀ it ﹀ alone. Let me have ﹀ a look ﹀ at ﹀ it. Put ﹀ it ﹀ on, please. Not ﹀ at ﹀ all。 这没什么难的吧,连读的秘诀就是把两个独立的单词拼在一起。
2. “ r/re+ 元音”连读
如果前一个词是以 -r 或者 -re 结尾,后一个词是以元音开头,这时的 r 或 re 不但要发 /r/ ,而且还要与后面的元音拼起来连读。 there ﹀ is for ﹀ instance I looked for ﹀ it here ﹀ and there. There ﹀ is a place far far ﹀ away. Where ﹀ is my cup? Where ﹀ are your brother ﹀ and sister?
但是, /r/ 的发音对很多朋友是难点哦,先得练好此音。而且如果一个音节的前后都有字母 r ,即使后面的词以元音开头,也不能连读。 The car ﹀ is coming nearer andnearer. ( nearer 与 and 不可连读)
3.“元音 + 元音”连读
如果前一个词以元音结尾,后一个词以元音开头,这两个音通常连读。元音加元音有点类似双元音。 You ﹀ are She/he ﹀ is Try ﹀ it She wants to study ﹀ English. How ﹀ old are ﹀ you? She can't carry ﹀ it. It'll take you three ﹀ hours to walk there。
4.“辅音 + 半元音”连读
英语语音中的 /j/ 和 /w/ 是半元音,如果前一个词是以辅音结尾,后一个词是以半元音(特别是 /j/ 开头,此时也要连读)。Thank ﹀ you. Nice to meet ﹀ you. Would ﹀ you like ﹀ a cup ﹀ of tea ? Could ﹀ you help me, please?
弱读
一般来说:实词重读,如动词、名词、副词等 虚词弱读,如介词、代词等 弱读的规则一般是:元音音节弱化成 [E] (额) 比如说如下几个单词:some/ does/ of / there/an/ and/ then/ are/ can/ for/ to/but 例:There are some sweets andchocolates for you. …and then… You can trust me. an apple You are very clever.
意群与停顿
I. 绕口令练习
1.Abig black bug bit the back of a big black bear. The big black bear bit back thebig black bug.
2.This fish has a thin fin; that fish has a fat fin; this fish is a fish that hasa thinner fin than that fish.
里根总统第二任就职演说词:"We must do what we know isright, and do it with all our might." (我们必须做我们知道是正确的事,而且要全力去做。) 决不能读成"We/must/do/what/we/know/is right,/and do/it with all/our might."
长句中有短暂的停顿, 藉以调和呼吸, 这是自然的现象, 但停顿的地方必须恰到好处。通常在: 1.有标点符号的地方; 2.词组或思想单元之间。短语, 从句等思想单元(即意群)成一单位, 但它们之间可以短暂停顿。例如:"We must do/what weknow is right,/and do it/with all our might.(斜线为可以稍做停顿之处).
