中国人在口语表达的过程中，讲究“字正腔圆、落地有声”、“大珠小珠落玉盘”，所以中国人说话就像是数豆子一般，一颗一颗的往下落数的才清楚。
但英语恰恰相反，它需要将一句话中的某些个重点词汇给凸出来，其它的非重点词汇弱化，尤其是在美音中，它甚至会将两个或者以上的单词全部连起来读了，感觉就像是第一个单词没有读完，下一个紧跟着已经读出来了，或者是将某个单词的某个辅音直接给省略掉了。所以对已经习惯了一个字一个字掷地有声的中国人来说，好多人就会觉得英语“太含含糊糊”了，这也导致好多中国人听力非常的差。
相反，如果老外说英语的时候是按照中国人的“一字一字落地有声”来读，那就不存在什么口语表达、听力不好的原因了。
所以，作为中国人，在学习英语的过程中，一定要去往英语语言习惯上靠近。当然，要练成如此“英语式”的口语表达，最根本的还是要去注意英语中的连读和略读。
连读
★ 发音规则一：辅音 元音
一句话中相邻的两个单词，前一个单词以辅音结尾，后一个单词以元音开始，拼读成“辅音 元音”。
讲解：
你还记得汉语拼音中有些单词xi'an（西安）、ku'ai（酷爱）吗？如果去掉隔音符，就成了xian（先）、kuai（快）了。英文中几乎所有的句子都是从头拼到尾，简单地说：连音就是两个单词相遇能拼读就拼，不能拼读就让过。
例如：Take~it~easy
短语练习（大声读出来喔）：
It's not far~away from here.
I should be there in~an~hour.
I'm going to see a movie later~on .
Here's your sweater. Put~it~on.
Stand~up and stretch for a while.
I'll always take care~of you .
Take~it~easy! Everything is going to be fine.
Please fasten your seat belt. we will take~off shortly.
There~are forty students in my class.
I work~out every day to keep fit.
句子练习：
1.come~on！cheer~up！
2.keep~it~up！
3.never give~up！
4.I mean~it.
5.I've got~a lot~of work to do.
6.May I have~a cup~of milk?
7.What do you think~of~it？
★ 发音规则二：元音 元音
一句话中相邻的两个单词，前一个单词以元音结尾，后一个单词以元音开始，则在两个元音之间加上一个轻微的 [j] 或 [w] 的音，拼读成“元音 [j] 或 [w] 元音”。
● [i:]或[eɪ]结尾的元音 [j] 元音
1、see us→see [j] us
Come and see~us again soon.
2、be over→be [j] over
It will be~over soon.
3、be able→be [j] able
Will you be~able to come tomorrow?
4、say it →say [j] it
Could you say~it again please?
5、pay Ann →pay [j] Ann
Please pay~Ann her salary.
● 以[u:]或 [əʊ] 结尾的元音 [w] 元音
1、do it→do [w] it
Don't do~it again.
2、go up→go [w] up
Let's go~upstairs and have dinner.
3、show us→show [w] us
Can you show~us something else.
注：元音与元音的连音是一种自然滑过后带出来的音。当你的发音接近流利时，你会发现不用刻意去发 [j] 和 [w] 就可以有效果，所以尽管放松地去练习，模仿是第一老师。
★ 发音规则三：省略[h]的连续
在连音规则中，以“h”开头的单词 [h] 音近乎省略。因为 [h] 发音很特殊——只是出气没有摩擦，所以拼读时好像被省略了。
1、Does~he know?
2、What~happened？
3、Please give~him a hand！
略读
英文最明显的语音规则除了连读外，就是略读了。爆破音和爆破音相邻，第一个爆破音只形成阻碍，但不发生爆破，称为失爆；爆破音和其他辅音相邻，该爆破音不完全爆破。英语语音中的失爆和不完全爆破现象，我们简称为“略读”。略读是英语语音学习的重点，也是一个难点，掌握好略读，也就掌握了地道英语发音的制胜法宝！
注意：略读时并不是把整个音丢掉，而是发音时点到为止，有口型不发音或轻微发音。
重要学术名词--爆破音：[p] [b] [t] [d] [k] [g]
★ 爆破音 爆破音=失去爆破
Tips：六个爆破音中任意两个相遇，一个爆破音后紧跟着另一个爆破音时，前面一个音点到为止，形成阻碍，但不发生爆破；第二个音完全爆破；若第二个爆破音在词尾，则必须轻化。
以一个爆破音结尾并以同一个爆破音开始时，只发一次音，前一个音只做好发音准备而不发音，直接发第二个音。
（1）active=a(c)tive [k] [t]
Students are encouraged to be active in class.
（2）blackboard=blac(k)board [k] [b]

（5）goodbye=goo(d)bye [d] [b]

以上列举的失爆和不完全爆破现象，都发生在单词内，实际上，在一个句子或者词组中，相邻的两个单词出现失爆和不完全爆破现象的几率要大于出现在单词内。
（1）Stop talking！=Sto(p)-talking!
（2）I don't care.=I don'(t) -care.
（3）I had a bad cold.=I had a ba(d)-cold.
★ 爆破音[t]和[d] 鼻辅音[m]和[n]
爆破音[t]和[d]后面紧跟鼻辅音[m]和[n]，[t]和[d]形成阻碍，在词末必须通过鼻腔爆破；发音时，舌尖紧贴上齿龈，稍放开立刻贴回，从爆破音到鼻音舌位不变，让气流通过鼻腔冲出，在词中则不完全爆破。
（1）Britain [tn]

（2）certain [tn]

（3）frighten [tn]

★ 爆破音[t]和[d] 舌边音[l]
爆破音[t]和[d]后面紧跟舌边音[l]，则必须由舌两边爆破，这种情况多发生在词尾。爆破音爆破音[t]和[d]后面紧跟清晰舌边[l]，则为不完全爆破。

★ 爆破音 摩擦音/破擦音=失去爆破
