连读 liaisons
1. 连读的定义：
前一词以辅音音素结尾，后一词以元音音素开头，在说话或朗读句子时，习惯上很自然地将这两个音素合拼在一起读出来，这种语音现象叫连读。
2. 连读的条件：
相邻的两词在意义上必须密切相关，同属一个意群。在两个意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音和元音出现，也不可连读。
look at
stand up
连读 liaisons
/l?k ?t/
/?st?nd ?p/
3. 连读的规则：
① 辅音+元音 (两相连)
look at stand up
② 辅音+辅音
③ 元音+元音 (多个音)
see it = see /j/ it do it = do /w/ it
(失去爆破不发音)
help me good luck
(相同辅音读一次)
bad day yes sir
3. 连读的规则：
④ 省略h (常见于him, her)
tell him
⑤ l,n,r 遇元音 (多个音)
fill in =fill /l/ in an egg = an /n/ egg your eyes = your /r/ eyes
⑥ t,s,d 遇上you 音 (要变音)
常把/d/+/j/读成/dju:/，did you听上成了/d?dju:/，would you成了/w?d?u:/，could you成了/k?d?u:/。
miss you meet you did you
/?u:/
/t?u:/
/d?u:/
听歌曲，感受连读。
Activity 4
Listen and repeat the following sentences. Pay attention to the liaisons ( ).
Talk about nature.
It is usually hot and dry.
Trees are home to some animals.
The forest is a beautiful place.
Some animals live in deserts.
Try to link the ending consonant of a word to the beginning vowel of the next word. It is easier to speak English in this way.
