史上最全的英语连读规则(5页).doc
-史上最全的英语连读规则-第 5 页史上最全的英语连读规则一网打尽你会正确地读以下单词么:feel, fool, heal, wheel, . 你会正确地读以下词组 么:I am, s/he is, I always, too often, . 如果你不会正确发音,那么你需要学习 连读规则;如果你能够正确发音,但不知道原因,那你更需要学习连读规则今天,我就模仿赵老湿,来讲一讲英语口语中的连读。“连读”在英语中叫Word Connections,借用法语的词汇时叫Liaison,读音为 li'eizn在这里要多说一句:从法语中借来的词读音一般都比较怪,一定要先查字典再去读它,免得搞错,比如debut 'deibju:连读的意义连读是语调中非常重要的一个组成要素。而语调是让别人更好听懂、更好理解的重要途径语调的正确,比发音的准确还要重要。因为语调涉及的内容太多,而且很难用文字来描述,所以在这里只讲连读。 可能有人会认为连读会造成别人的理解困难,他们认为:还是把单词一个挨一个地读清楚更容易听明白。虽然这种说法明显是错误的,但是在这里我也不想浪费文字去反驳,读者们请自行决定是否要阅读或者离开。一个例子这里是一个连读的例子。在这个例子里,不仅仅有连读的存在,还包含发音的一些变化,请仔细分辨:书写英语:They tell me that Im easier to understand.口语连读:theytellme thedaimeasier der-undersdand连读的分类英语中的连读主要有四种: 1)辅音+元音的连读(Consonant + Vowel) 2)辅音+辅音的连读 3)元音+元音的连读 4)T, D, S 或 Z + Y的连读1. 辅音+元音的连读一般来说中国人比较熟悉这种连读前一个词由辅音结尾,后一个词由元音开头,于是就很自然地连起来了,比如:My name is&helli p; my naymizbecause Ive. b'k'zäivpick up on the American intonation pik pan the(y) mer'k nintnashn不只是句子中,读字母缩写也可以连读:LA ehLay读数字时也可以连读:902 5050 nainotoo faivofaivo再来几个简单例子:hold on hol donturn over tur novertell her I miss her teller I misser因为这种连读一般初中生都会,在这里就不详细介绍了,重头戏在后面,马上开演。2. 辅音+辅音的连读这个很难用文字描述,放到最后再讲。3. 元音+元音的连读如果前一个词是由元音 u结尾,下一个词由元音开头,那么,在 u后面加上一个辅音 w 如果前一个词是由元音 i结尾,下一个词由元音开头,那么,在 i后面加上一个辅音 y只说规则似乎有点不好理解,看例子就明白了。Go away. Go(w)away在电影Big Fish中,巨人Carl说过这句话。因为巨人说话又慢又重,所以那个w很明显。 再来看一个例子:I also need the other one. I(y)also need thee(y)other one这种连读不能把辅音w或者j发得太重,否则会显得很傻,但是不发这两个辅音的话又会很难念得顺口。go anywhere go(w)anywhereso honest so(w)honestthrough our through(w)ouryou are you(w)arehe is he(y)isdo I? do(w)I?I asked I(y)askedto open to(w)openshe always she(y)alwaystoo often too(w)often4. T, D, S 或 Z + Y的连读如果前面的单词是以T/D/S/Z结尾,后面的单词是以Y开头(一般是you这个词),那么有如下的连读规则可以使用。4.1.
