　　B: Hi, you look upset. What's up?

　　M: Haven't been sleeping well recently.

　　B: What's the problem?

　　M: I tried to go to bed early. but I just couldn't fall asleep in bed with the other girls lights on, and noises now and then. I'm a light sleeper.

　　B: I understand. I used to live in a dorm' with three people. It was great in some aspects. We always went out and had fun together. But on the other hand, when I wanted some quiet time, they kept talking and laughing aloud, it was torturous.

　　M: Living in a dorm means that you have to learn to be considerate of others.

　　B: Yeah But you can at least talk with them and find a solution.

　　M: I don't know how to say about those things. Maybe I really should have a talk with them about this matter.

　　英語(yǔ)筆記

　　1.弱讀和連現(xiàn)象，up弱讀為/?p/，what's up 連讀為/w?ts?p/。

　　2.in bed 連讀為/?mbed/，/n/同化為/m/。

　　3.light sleeper 指“睡覺容易被吵醒的人”。

　　4.on the other hand 的意思是“從另一方面看”。

　　5.音的清化。have to 清化為/hæft?/。

　　英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)

　　鼻音同化

　　在I just couldn't fall asleep in bed這個(gè)句子中，in bed連讀為/?mbed/。/?n/變音為/?m/。這就是鼻音同化現(xiàn)象。受發(fā)音部位的影響，遇到/b/，/p/，/m/，/n/這類雙唇音時(shí)，發(fā)音/n/同化為/m/。如：

　　lived in peace一/l?vd?mpi:s/，生活在和平年代

　　sleep in bed一/sli:p?mbed/在床上睡

　　in mind一/?ma?nd/在心里

　　in motion一/?m????n/在轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，在開動(dòng)
