語音現象：用連讀吞音解決聽力問題（附音頻）

來自專欄 Sarah_HUGE托福聽力1 人贊了文章

大家好，我是HUGEdu的聽力老師Sarah，

之前上課的時候，經常有同學會因為辯音不清，聽不出聽力的內容；

卻在看到原文之後恍然大悟。

辯音有多重要？

舉個例子，文章說的是ship，你聽成了sheep，意思偏差。

又或者，文章說的是put food on it，你聽得是fu dang nit？完全弄暈了自己。

今天咱們先來八一八有哪些需要注意的吞音，連讀，和個別類易錯單字的發音問題。

（公眾號色彩也更豐富）

首先，

1）

吞音Reduced Sound

>Held sound of T

If you have an N immediately after a T, you don』t pop the T—the tongue is in the T position—but you release the air with the N.

什麼時候吞掉t音？t後面跟著一個n的鼻音，嘴型還是t的嘴型，但是不發出t音，只念出n的音。

單詞例子：

certain

mountain

fountain

important

written

sentence

bellybutton

curtain

eaten

threaten

frighten

mutant

句子例子：

Visiting Cupertino in July is a certain thing.

It is a very important farewell address.

A marine sniper has threatened me.

The hikers went into the mountains.

Martin has gotten a kitten.

He has not forgotten what was written about the mutant on the mountain.

第2種吞音的現象，是在鋪音之前的t被吞掉。

>T before a consonant

If a T sound word is followed by a word with a consonant sound, T will be reduced.

例子：

it was

that was

what was

just forgot the time

和上面的語音現象相同，輔音前的t會被吞掉。句末的t也會被吞掉。

>Silent T

She hit the hot hut with her hat.

We went to that Netsite to get what we needed.

Pat was quite right, wasnt she?

What? Put my hat back!

hot, late, fat, goat, hit, put, not, hurt, what, set, paint, wait, sit, dirt, note, fit, lot, light, suit, point, incident, tight

兩個輔音在單詞末尾和後面單詞開頭相遇，同音或相同字母，前面的音會被吞掉。

>Reduced Repeated sound

If the last syllable of a word and the first syllable of the other word that follows are the same, reduce the syllable of the first word.

例子：

it takes me

bus schedule

with them

2）

連讀Linking Pronunciation

>Consonant+Vowal

If the last syllable or the letter of a word and the first syllable or the letter of the other word that follows are the same, they will be linked.

何時該連續？輔音結尾和母音開頭的單詞會被連在一起讀。

例子：

Get out of here

Kill her

Full of fresh air

Son of bitch

Let me (Lemme) think about it.

Give me (Gimme) that glass of beer.

A lot of (a lotta) friends

A bunch of (a buncha) new students

Out of (outta) the blue--(idiom)

Once in a blue moon—(idiom)—[moon=lunar—lunatic—asylum]

舉幾個TPO當中連讀吞音的例子：

TPO20-L3

But with folk tales you don』t ever really get the sense that the story might have been true.

TPO50-L3

And it doesn』t without being sentimental, not in that sort of over-emotional way, the way that romantic literature can. Realism tells it like it is.

TPO48-L2

Imagine a burning candle, and imagine moving a sheet of heavy paper slowly over the flame of the candle. Youre gonna get a series of burned spots in the paper.

說完了一些發音的語音現象，現在來格外糾正一下2個單字發音的要點。

其中一個便是不捲舌的r音。很多人覺得美音要捲舌。所以就每個母音位置都想要不自覺的卷一卷，想campus、study這樣類似詞的母音通常都會被念錯。

先來說不發r捲舌音的單詞舉例。

3）

單字發音

無R音Silent of R Sound

>No R sound

We all know that American Accent has a lotta R sound, but it doesn』t mean we have R in every word. So when there』s no letter R in a word, there』s no R sound.

campus

focus

famous

nervous

precious

delicious

idea

area

breakfast

modern

money$$

society

christmas

China

study

because

was

formula

drama

Buckingham Palace

law

Grandma

past

pizza

下面是y音，這個音很有意思。一共有2種讀法，看韋伯斯特詞典給出的音標便知：

1. 分2部分mil-lion
2. 還是分2部分，但是mill-ion這樣分

讀成第一種讀法mil-lion是沒有問題的

通常口語中的讀法會是第2種更常見或者口頭話，先發出mill的音，再讀ion的音。

聽Bruno Mars的那首I wanna be a billionaire即是bill-ionaire式的發音。

>A Y-sound after an L

例子：

-million

Slum dog millionaire

-billion

I wanna be a billionaire (Bruno Mars)

-value

I value my family very much.

-evaluation

Fill out the evaluation form.

-volume

Turn the volume up, please.

-William

My brother has the same name as King William.
