　　英語筆記

　　1.up to you 表示“由你決定”。

　　2.need 的/d/失去爆破，to 弱讀為/t?/，need to 讀作/n? t?/。

　　3.mid-range 是更正信息，需要重讀。

　　4.on an 連讀作/? n?n/。

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　更正信息需要重讀

　　當一方說錯某件事，另一方更正對方的錯誤時，需要強調(diào)正確的信息，這時正確的信息就要重讀。如：

　　A: Do you lose your purse again?

　　你又把錢包弄丟了?

　　B：No.I keep it in my pocket.

　　沒有，在我包里呢。

　　我沒有“弄丟”，而是“放在”包里了，所以keep要重讀。)

　　A: I will come here again on Thursday.

　　我星期四再來。

　　B：You should come on Tuesday.

　　你應該星期二來。

　　(強調(diào)不是“星期四”來，而是“星期二”來，所以Tuesday要重讀。)
