1、以輔音結(jié)尾的單詞+元音開頭的單詞:
如:(1)I’d li(ke a)nother bow(l o)f rice. 這里like / laik / 以輔音結(jié)尾,another 以元音開頭,所以連讀;(2)We have an English friend. 這個句子有兩處連讀:前一處是have的尾輔音/v/與an的開頭元音//連讀為/v/;后一處是an的尾輔音/n/與English的開頭音素/i/連讀為/ni/。舉例:I’m~an~English boy. It~is~an~old book. Let me have~a look~at~it。
Ms Black workedin~an~office last~yesterday. I called~you half~an~hour~ago。
Put~it~on, please.Not~at~all. Please pick~it~up。
注意:以輔音結(jié)尾指的是音標(biāo)中的最后一個音是輔音,而不是單詞的結(jié)尾,這如同u[ju:.]niversity前面的定冠詞必須用a 一樣。
2、以輔音結(jié)尾的單詞 + h開頭的單詞h不發(fā)音,與前面的輔音連讀
what wil(l he) [wili]do? Ha(s he) done it before? Mus(t he) [ti] go?
Can he do it? Should he….?
Tell him to ask her…. Lea(ve him) [vim]. For him (連讀這個詞,會發(fā)現(xiàn)和forum 很相似)
3、以-r或-re字母結(jié)尾的單詞+元音開頭的單詞時,可將/r/與后面的元音拼讀。
如:They looked for it here and there。這個句子也有兩處連讀:前一處是for it合讀為/frit/,后一處是here and合讀為/hirnd/。舉例:They’re my father~and mother. I looked for~it here~and there.There~is a football under~it. There~are some books on the desk. Here~is aletter for you. Here~are four~eggs. But where~is my cup? Where~are yourbrother~and sister?
注意,如果一個音節(jié)的前后都有字母r,即使后面的詞以元音開頭,也不能連讀。 The black clouds are coming nearer and nearer。(nearer與and不可連讀)
