「重要发音技巧」

Welcome back. Hmm… It seems like this lady felt very confused about this relationship.   

欢迎回来。嗯……这位女士似乎对这段关系感到很困惑。

It was too sudden for her and she must feel quite comfortable to be a friend with this man.

这对她来说太突然了,和这位男士做朋友她一定觉得很舒服。

She might never think about that man changed his mind and wanted to be her boyfriend.

她可能永远不会想到那位男士改变了主意并且想成为她的男朋友。

Hmm, life is always out of your expectation, isn’t it? Ahhh, too complicated.

嗯,生活总是出乎你的意料,不是吗?啊,太复杂了。

Anyway, let’s learn some important pronunciation tips first. 

无论如何,让我们先学习一些重要的发音技巧。

1. 辅音+元音连读:

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”。

文章中:

Sure. What is it?

当然可以啊,什么事?

练一练:

We've got to get up early, all right?

我们得早起,好吗?

2. 语调:

语调是帮助我们表达各种思想感情的重要途径,英语语调的基本类型有降调、升调和平调。

降调表示说话人的态度肯定、意思完整、语法结构独立;升调表示说话人的态度不肯定、意思不完整、语法结构不独立;平调一般用于直接引语后面,表述所说的话,音高没有高低的变化。在意义比较复杂的句子或意群中,往往结合了三种基本语调,构成升降调或者降升调,而使语调变得复杂。

在这里我们来学习用于感叹句时要用的降调:

文章中:

We’ve been friends for years!

这么多年我们一直是朋友!

例句:

What a small world!

这世界竟是如此之小!
