　　英語筆記

　　1.這里Susie 只是想得到 Kevin 的證實(shí)，并非提到疑問，所以要用降調(diào)。

　　2.wash sth. away 是指“把……沖走”。

　　3.tide 中的/d/遇到輔音/k/失去爆破。

　　4.during/?dj??r??/中的/d/與/j/在單詞內(nèi)部相遇時(shí)，同化為/d?/，口語中讀作/?d???r??/。

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　/d/失去爆破

　　你聽到的When does the tide come in中的tide似乎是/ta?/而不是/ta?d/，這是因?yàn)閠ide后單詞的首字母音是輔音/k/，所以tide中的/d/出失去爆破，因此tide就讀成了//。

　　再如：

　　He is a good boy.

　　他是一個(gè)好孩子。

　　其中g(shù)ood讀作/ɡ?/。

　　I found my ball under the bed.

　　我在床下找到了我的球。

　　口其中found讀作/fa?n/。

　　I can't afford this new car。

　　我買不起這輛新車。其中afford讀作/?'f?:/。
