　　英語筆記

　　1.stretch your legs 在此為“活動，放松”之意。

　　2.carried 中的/d/音與away 中的/?/連讀，carried away 讀作/'kær? d?'we?/。

　　3.about 此處弱讀，失去/?/音，變?yōu)?ba?t/。

　　4.此處us 弱讀為/?s/。

　　英語語音語調

　　連讀中的注意事項

　　“I was carried away by the performance.”一句中的“carried away"發(fā)生了連讀現(xiàn)象，這是因為兩詞相鄰，且符合連讀的規(guī)則，即前一個詞以輔音結尾，后一個詞議元音開頭。但是，連讀必須注意以下兩點：

　　1.連讀必須在同一個意群中進行。所謂意群，就是意思相關的一組詞，如“carried away”屬于一個短語，處在同一個意群，并符合連讀規(guī)則，所以可以連讀。否則，即使符合連讀規(guī)則，但不在一個意群，也不能連讀。如：

　　Shall we meet at nine tonight or eight tomorrow?

　　我們今晚九點見還是明天八點?

　　這句中的“tonight竹與“or”不屬于一個意群，雖符合連讀規(guī)則，但不能連讀。

　　2.如果連讀會造成聽話人的誤解，即使符合連讀規(guī)則也不能連讀。如：

　　There is an answer.

　　這就是答案。

　　這句話中如果“an"與“answer”連讀，會令人誤聽為announcer.所以不能連讀。
