Phonetics in use
Loss of plosion:
Sometimes two sounds like /t/, /d/, /p/, /b/, /k/ and /g/ are close together. In this case, we usually don’t pronounce the first one. For example, last piece.
Improve your pronunciation for clear communication
在单词或语句中，当三对爆破音/p/和/b/、/t/和/d/、/k/和/g/之中任何两个相邻时，或当爆破音与一些别的辅音(如/s/、/f/、/v/、/m/、/n/等)相邻时，第一个爆破音只按发音部位形成阻碍，但不发生爆破，稍停即发出后一个辅音，这种现象被称为失去爆破。例如：
失去爆破 Loss of plosion
the re(d) coat
nex(t) Tuesday
bla(ck) coffee
a goo(d) friend
goo(d) morning
las(t) night
a doctor an old cat
sit down a big blackboard
Goodbye! Stop talking.
找出下列短语或句子中失去爆破的部分。
a do(c)tor
an ol(d) cat
si(t) down
a bi(g) bla(ck)board
Goo(d)bye!
Sto(p) talking.
Listen and notice how the speaker pronounces the words.
