　　英語筆記

　　1.May 是情態(tài)動詞，放在句首需重讀。

　　2.personal stuffs 意為“個(gè)人用品”。

　　3.gift 中的/t/遇到for中的爆破音/f/失去爆破，/t/不發(fā)音。

　　4.Chinese herbal medicine 意為中草藥。

　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　雙輔音結(jié)尾的單詞中/t/和/d/的消失

　　"This is a gift for my friend"一句中"gift"的/t/不發(fā)音，這是因?yàn)榍耙粋€(gè)詞以/st//?t/, /ft/, /nd/,/Id/, /zd/,/ðd/,/vd/,等結(jié)尾，后一詞以輔音開始，則其中的/t/、/d/不發(fā)音。如 :

　　last day /lɑ:s de?/

　　最后一天

　　send round /sen raund/

　　發(fā)送

　　left behind /lef b??ha?nd/

　　落后

　　pushed them /p?? ð?m/

　　推它們

　　另一種情況是當(dāng)前一詞以/pt/, /kt/, /t?t/, /bd/, /gd/, /d?d/結(jié)尾，后一個(gè)詞以輔音開始，則其中的/t/,/d/不發(fā)音，如：

　　kept quiet /kep 'kwa??t/

　　保持安靜

　　changed color /t?e?nd? ?k?l?/

　　改變了的顏色

　　looked fine /l?k fa?n/

　　看上去不錯(cuò)

　　reached Paris /ri:t? 'pær?s/

　　到達(dá)巴黎
