I发音规律
英语句子中的连读
一般来说,相邻的两个单词属于同一意群时,前一个单词末尾的某些音素和
后一个单词词首的某些音素,可能会连起来读。连读会使我们说的英语更加流畅、
悦耳。但是,连读应是在一种快速语流中自然形成的现象,而不是为了连读而连
读。

常见的几种连读情况:
1.辅音十元音:相邻的两词中,前一个单词以辅音结尾,后一个单词以元音
开头时,一般将辅音和元音连起来读。如:
not at all
work it out
turn it off
Please pick it up.
2.辅音字母r或re+元音:前一个单词以-r或-re结尾,后一个单词以元音开头,
此时r或re要发r/音,并与其后的元音连读。如:
for us and for ever
here and there
for instance
Where is it?

3.元音+元音:前一个单词以/或/i:结尾,后一个单词以元音开头时,添加
/后连读;前一个单词以o/或u:/结尾,后一个单词以元音开头,添加w/后连读。
如
I agree./aij gri:/
Go out./gaow aut/
