　　英語筆記

　　1.as 的/z/ 與 this 的/ð/發(fā)音相近，/z/不發(fā)音，因此讀作/æð?s/。

　　2.can't wait to do sth. 意思是“等不及做某事”。

　　3.take 尾音省略，some弱化，連讀為/te?s?m/。

　　4.exactly 中的/t/消音，讀作/?g?zækl?/。

　　5.be worth doing sth.意思是“值得做某事”。

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　“輔音集團(tuán)”中間音的消失

　　“輔音集團(tuán)升是指三個及三個以上集中出現(xiàn)的輔音，例如：strengths/?stre?θs/中的/?θs/、extinct/?ks?t??kt/中的/?kt/都屬于輔音集團(tuán)。在口語中，很難將輔音集團(tuán)中的每個音都發(fā)清楚，因此中間的輔音常常省略不發(fā)音。如：

　　asked /ɑ:skt/:輔音集團(tuán)/skt/中的/k/一般不發(fā)音，口語中讀作ɑ:st//。

　　exactly /?g?zæktl?/：輔音集團(tuán)/ktl/中的/t/ 一般不發(fā)音，口語中讀作/?g?zækl?/。
