　　英語筆記

　　1.此處語流較快，will you 讀作/w?lj?/。

　　2.此處I'd 為I would 的縮略形式，讀作/a?d/。

　　3.口語中常把yes 說成yeah，讀作/jɑ:/。

　　4.historical sites 意為“古跡”。

　　5.take up 意為“開始”。

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　will you，will he.will she，will it的讀法

　　Will you accept my arm中的“will you”不是讀作/w?lj?:/而是讀作/w?lj?/。因為will you發(fā)生了弱讀和連讀。在疑問句中，語流較快，will就會念成/w?l/。于是will he，will she，will it也就發(fā)生了相應(yīng)的變化，如：

　　Will he be free tomorrow?

　　他明天有空嗎?

　　口語中發(fā)音接近/w?l?/。

　　Will she be back next week?

　　她下周回來嗎?口語中發(fā)音接近/w?l??/。

　　Will it take long to get there?

　　到那兒去要很長時間嗎?

　　口語中發(fā)音接近/w?l?t/。
