英語筆記
1.口語中此句常讀為/a?d??nt'la?k/。
2.have an eye on sth. 意思是“喜歡某物,看上某物”。
3.it 的/?/被省略,it與on連讀,try it on的發(fā)音為/tra? t?n/。
英語語音語調
I don't like…
你聽到的don't like讀成/d??nt'la?k/??谡Z中當詞尾是t,下一個詞詞首是輔音時,/t/會弱化到幾乎聽不到。只能聽到中間的停頓或是很輕的發(fā)音,接近于do like,但是結合語境,不會造成誤解,所以/t/就被省略了。類似的情況有很多,比如:
I didn't watch /d?dn?w?t?/ yesterday's football game.
我沒有看昨天的球賽。
I can't tell /kæn?tel/ you the secret.
我不能告訴你這個秘密。
