一 、第一步：元音
1、4个双元音
美语音标最大的区别在于其中的元音，过去学过的元音是单元音，但美语中所学的是双元音
1）｛e｝－｛ei｝
age, game, day
sentence: More haste, less speed.欲速则不达
第一步把每个音发准
第二步加上声调
练习: It’s pay day today今天是发工资的日子
2)｛o｝－｛ou｝结尾停在u
boat, note, so
美语发音的特点：尽量在口腔的后部把音发出来。
sentence: I hope so.
练习：He posed for a group of photo with his old fellows.
注：美语中常常对a和the进行变音，目的是为了强调
ｅｇ：
This is the best opportunity we ever have to enter the market.
3) ｛a｝－｛ai｝
bike, mine, flight
this bike of mine
sentence: All right.
注：all不要卷舌
练习：Out of sight, out of mind眼不见，心不烦
4) how
out, now about
sentence: Let’ s get out of here.
It’s kind of tough.
It’s kind of torture to read mathematics everyday.
练习: This is out-and-out power politics. 这是彻头彻尾的强权政治
2、2个后元音
1)｛半圆两点｝
发音技巧：尽量往最里吞这个音
not, bottle, hot, job, hospital
sentence: It’s a promise.
练习：little red lorry 红色小卡车
2)｛ｕ｝
good ,book, should
sentence: She’s looking at a good book.
更多例子： new student attitude due
I am for this position.
3、辅音t的发音
writer, letter, better, city,
发音变化一：浊化
浊化原则1：ｔ处在非重读音节要浊化
如：writer, letter, better, city,
浊化原则2：ｔ处在重读音节不能浊化
如：Italian, attack, atomic, Latino, photographer
浊化对比：
Italy, attic（阁楼）
atom(原子), Latin, photograph
发音变化二：ｔ在词组中的发音变化：
练习：pick it up
I got it.
right away
发音变化三：ｔ发音的特殊情况：
当ｔ发的很快，就会变成ｎ的音
internet
interview
interesting
representative
发音变化四：失去爆破
right now, just now
发音变化五：ｔ的音从鼻子里出来（美音，英音都有的一种特殊情况）
Britain, mountain, fountain
4、r的发音
1）r在单词中的发音
练习: Rolly rolled a round roll around the road.
spare, burglar, dirty, porch, more
2）r带动后面元音的发音
world girl pearl
The girls are the pearls in the world.
原则：只有字母r存在才能卷舌
经常发错的音：China, America, idea
二、美语中的变音现象
1、 连读
1) 相同辅音的连读
bad dog注意：不可以把音节给吞掉，只是这个音节不发音
like candy
ripe pear
some money
The report turned out to be totally false.这份报告完全是一派胡言。
2) 辅音＋元音
It’s easy. Where’s our car? Come on in. What time is it now?
Figure it out. for example
中高级口译中常常出现的连读词汇： of all ages
crude oil
a couple of
