　　英语笔记

　　1.do 用在动词前表示强调。此处加在have 前强调“确实有”。发音时也应该重读。 2.弱化现象。for 弱化为/f?/，us 弱化/?s/，for us 连读为/f?r?s/。 3.be on sale 是指“廉价出售”。 4.音的浊化现象。better/'bet?/，实际读音中近似于/'bed?/。

　　英语语音语调

　　如果清辅音/t/在非重读音节中，且前后都有元音，则该辅音常会浊化，读音近似于浊辅音/d/。比如： I think it is better to have a bottle of champagne. 我觉得最好买瓶香槟。 better /'bet?/口语中发音接近/'bed?/。 bottle /'b?tl/口语中发音接近/'b?dl/。 The yellow sweater looks very nice. 达件黄毛衣看起来很漂亮。 sweater/?swet?/口语中发音接近/?swed?/。 You will know the fact soon or later. 你迟早会知道真相。 later/'le?t?/口语中发音接近/'le?d?/。
