　　英語筆記

　　1.some 的弱化，讀作/s?m/。

　　2.or 的弱化。連讀為/k?fi?ti:/。

　　3.注意 thin/θ?n/與thing/θ??/讀音的區(qū)別。

　　4.dessert “甜點”與 desert “沙漠”形似，注意兩個詞之間的區(qū)別。

　　英語語音語調

　　容易混淆的/n/與/?/

　　/n/與/?/在發(fā)音時很難區(qū)分：發(fā)/?/時，舌后抬起貼住軟腭，軟腭下垂;而發(fā)/n/音時，舌尖緊貼上齒齦，形成阻塞，這時音標類似于漢語中的前后鼻音。如：

　　thin/θ?n/薄的—thing/θ??/事情

　　gone/ɡ?n/去—gong/ɡ??/鑼

　　lawn/l?:n/草坪—long/l??/長的

　　son/s?n/兒子—song/s??/歌曲
