连读
在同一个意群中,前后相连的两个单词之间,前一个单词末尾的辅音和后一个单词词首的元音有时可连起来读,这种现象称之为连读。
连读现象是在语言交际中,随着语速的加快自然产生的,可用符号“ “表示。
常见的连读有以下两种:
(1)辅音+元音
当前一个词的词尾是辅音,后一个词以元音开头时,这两个词可以连读。例如:
It’s a good idea.
Look at it.
Come on, Jack!
Let me get it.
Is it on the desk?
Can you play games with us?
(2)r/re+元音
当前一个词的词尾是r或re,后一个词的词首是元音时,这两个词可连读,中间增加一个/r/音。例如:
Ask the teacher for it.
I need a pair of sports shoes for school.
Read, listen, and repeat. Notice how the words link together.
Wake up! Wake up!
It’s time to get up.
What time is it?
I don’t want to get up.
Come on! Get up!
I don’t want to get up.
Get up! You’re going to be late.
Late for what?
Late for school.
But it is Sunday, Mum!
Let’s read more.
Bike and walk, run and talk, Eat and drink, sit and think.
Here and there, near and dear, Hear and clear, sure and near.
