　　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(dá)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(rèn)為嗎?

　　此處，really讀升調(diào)，表示說話人的懷疑態(tài)度。
