　　英語筆記

　　1.look at 連讀為/l? kæt/。

　　2.for 后接輔音，弱讀作/f?/。

　　4.be known as 是指“被認(rèn)為是”。

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　元音連讀時中間加輔助音/r/

　　在The area is pleasantly illuminated at night這句中，area is讀作/??r??r?z/。當(dāng)元音連續(xù)出現(xiàn)時，需要在兩元音之間添加一個輔助音。一般情況下加/r/，如：

　　where are讀作/r/。

　　idea of讀作/a?'d??r?v/

　　drama and讀作/drɑ:m?r?nd/

　　但在持殊情況下，也會添加輔助音/j/或/W/。
