　　英語筆記

　　1.find 詞尾的/d/不發(fā)音。

　　2.flower“花”與flour“面粉”發(fā)音相同，都讀作/'fla??/。

　　3.be indentical in sth.意思是“在某方面相同、一樣”。

　　4.同化現(xiàn)象。this 的尾字母音/s/遇到shop的首字母音/?/被同化為/?/，兩個/?/相遇只讀一個。

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　省音和消音現(xiàn)象

　　I'm trying to find some presents for my wife 一句中的find some似乎是/fa?n s?m/而不是/fa?nd s?m/。這是因為，如果單詞以

　　輔音/t/或/d/結尾，后一個詞又以輔音開頭，那么該詞詞尾的/t/或/d/就會失去爆破。比如：

　　next month /neks'm?nθ/下個月

　　good night /ɡ?'na?t/晚安

　　但當后一個詞的詞首為/w/，/j/，/h/，/r/時，/t/和/d/則不失去爆破。如：

　　next year /neks'j?:/明年

　　solid wall/s?l?d w?:l/堅固的城墻
