英語筆記
1.口語聽語速較快,have you 讀弱讀式/vj?/。
2.than 作為連詞,在口語中常讀其弱讀式/ðn/。
3.此處的really 讀升調(diào),表示說話人的疑問態(tài)度。
英語語音語調(diào)
Really和Really?
你聽到的"really"單獨作為一個問句出現(xiàn),采用了升調(diào)的讀法,表達了疑問態(tài)度,這就是英語中語調(diào)的變化。英
語有五種基本語調(diào):升調(diào)(/)、降調(diào)(\)、升降調(diào)(∧)、降升調(diào)(∨)以及平調(diào)(—)。聲調(diào)高低抑揚輕重的變
化會導(dǎo)致句子意思發(fā)生變化。同樣的句子,語調(diào)不同,句子意思會有肯定或否定等變化。如:
She is really(—)beautiful.
她真漂亮。
此處,really讀平調(diào),表示說話人的肯定態(tài)度。
She is so beautiful.
她真漂殼。
Really? (/)You do think so?
真的嗎?你真的這么認為嗎?
此處,really讀升調(diào),表示說話人的懷疑態(tài)度。
