　　英語筆記

　　1.此疑問詞重讀，且為升調(diào)，表示說話人的疑問。

　　2.get tone up 出現(xiàn)了輔音同音消音和連讀的現(xiàn)象，讀作/ɡe ?t?? ?n?p/。

　　3.National Fitness Day 為“全民健身日”。

　　4.BOCOG是縮略詞，在此處讀一個全新的讀音/b??k?g/。

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　縮略詞的讀法(一)

　　你聽到的“BOCOG”是“北京奧組委”全稱的縮略形式，讀一個全新的讀音/b??k?g/。有些縮略詞是由幾個單詞的首字母組成，且這些首字母組合看起來很像一個新單詞，因此在發(fā)音上就遵循了單詞的發(fā)音規(guī)則，讀一個全新的讀音，如：

　　TOEFL/?t??fl/:Test of English as a Foreign Language

　　托福考試

　　NATO /'ne?t??/: North Atlantic Treaty Organization

　　北大西洋公約組織

　　NASA /'næs?/: National Aeronautics and Space Administration

　　美國國家航空和航天局
