美语发音的全面总结
第一章:五大发音要点!
我们将复杂的(complicated)语音规则总结成五大发音要点,使一般人都能掌握(master)。
它们是:长元音和双元音饱满;短元音急促有力;连音;略音和咬舌头。
一、长元音和双元音饱满
鬼鬼祟祟的英文就是鬼鬼祟祟(sneaky; lousy)的元音造成的!只要把元音发饱满(full; plump),你的英语立刻会变得悦耳动听。那些英美流行歌手就是元音饱满的典范!
1. Mike likes to write by the nice bright light at night.
麦克喜欢在夜晚明亮的灯光旁写作。〔八次疯狂张嘴,元音极其饱满!〕
2. Macao came back to China in 1999.
澳门于1999年回归祖国。
3. I like the shape of that mountain.
我喜欢那座山的样子。
〔包含了四个容易混淆的元音:形容山水最恰当!〕
二、短元音急促有力
4. Jim must study a little bit more.
杰姆必须再多一下一点功夫。
5. Let's get together again.
让我们找一天再聚一聚。
三、连音
6. I'm working on-it.

7. I'll think-it-over.

我不知道该做些什么。〔两个辅音连接,只读后一个〕
第二条规则:以〔t〕,〔d〕,〔k〕,〔g〕,〔p〕和〔b〕+以辅音开始的单词
前面的发音“点到为止”,舌头达到发音中位,但不送气!
10. Lend-me your black-bag.

在那个鸟的颈部有三万三前三百三是三根羽毛。
