P: I was born in France, and we lived in Paris until I was seven. Then, since my father worked for the military, we moved all over the place. And I go to Beijing to visit my friends.
W: Oh yeah? What are some of the places you've lived? Did you live in China?

英語語音語調
did you, did I,did we, did they, did he, did she, did it的讀法
Did you live in China中的did you讀成了/d??/,其實did本身并沒有弱讀形式,但由于與后面的弱讀人稱代詞相連,在口語較快的語流中就發(fā)生了同化而變音。類似的情況還有:
Did I/d-a?/(音標中的一表示短暫停止)have that?
我有那個東西嗎?
Did we /d?w?/ start at morning?
我們從上午開始的嗎?
Did they /d?ðe?/come?
他們來了嗎?
