　　S: What does lasagna come with?

　　L: Lasagna is a layered dish with sheets of lasagna noodles, beef, cheese, tomato sauce and bechamel sauce.

　　英語筆記

　　1.ground 的尾音/d/消失。

　　2.opposed to 中兩個(gè)爆破音相遇，前一個(gè)爆破音要失爆。

　　3.因?yàn)長(zhǎng)ily 也很挑剔，所以Susan 說她們倆“半斤八兩”，“彼此彼此”。

　　4.cold noodles 在這里指“朝鮮冷面”。

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　尾音的消失

　　如果句尾單詞的詞尾是輔音，那么這個(gè)輔音讀得比較輕或不發(fā)音。如：

　　I like pop music. music的讀音本該是/'mju:z?k/，但由于它在句末，所以幾乎聽不到/k/這個(gè)音。

　　再如：dog，cat，stop等詞位于句尾時(shí)，其尾音也會(huì)消失。

　　但要注意，尾音的消失并不意味著這個(gè)音根本不發(fā)，而是要有發(fā)音準(zhǔn)備，稍作停頓，但不出聲。
