一 、第一步:元音
1、4個雙元音
美語音標(biāo)最大的區(qū)別在于其中的元音,過去學(xué)過的元音是單元音,但美語中所學(xué)的是雙元音
1){e}-{ei}
age, game, day
sentence: More haste, less speed.欲速則不達
第一步把每個音發(fā)準(zhǔn)
第二步加上聲調(diào)
練習(xí): It’s pay day today今天是發(fā)工資的日子
2){o}-{ou}結(jié)尾停在u
boat, note, so
美語發(fā)音的特點:盡量在口腔的后部把音發(fā)出來。
sentence: I hope so.
練習(xí):He posed for a group of photo with his old fellows.
注:美語中常常對a和the進行變音,目的是為了強調(diào)
eg:
This is the best opportunity we ever have to enter the market.
3) {a}-{ai}
bike, mine, flight
this bike of mine
sentence: All right.
注:all不要卷舌
練習(xí):Out of sight, out of mind眼不見,心不煩
4) how
out, now about
sentence: Let’ s get out of here.
It’s kind of tough.
It’s kind of torture to read mathematics everyday.
練習(xí): This is out-and-out power politics. 這是徹頭徹尾的強權(quán)政治
2、2個后元音
1){半圓兩點}
發(fā)音技巧:盡量往最里吞這個音
not, bottle, hot, job, hospital
sentence: It’s a promise.
練習(xí):little red lorry 紅色小卡車
2){u}
good ,book, should
sentence: She’s looking at a good book.
更多例子: new student attitude due
I am for this position.
3、輔音t的發(fā)音
writer, letter, better, city,
發(fā)音變化一:濁化
濁化原則1:t處在非重讀音節(jié)要濁化
如:writer, letter, better, city,
濁化原則2:t處在重讀音節(jié)不能濁化
如:Italian, attack, atomic, Latino, photographer
濁化對比:
Italy, attic(閣樓)
atom(原子), Latin, photograph
發(fā)音變化二:t在詞組中的發(fā)音變化:
練習(xí):pick it up
I got it.
right away
發(fā)音變化三:t發(fā)音的特殊情況:
當(dāng)t發(fā)的很快,就會變成n的音
internet
interview
interesting
representative
發(fā)音變化四:失去爆破
right now, just now
發(fā)音變化五:t的音從鼻子里出來(美音,英音都有的一種特殊情況)
Britain, mountain, fountain
4、r的發(fā)音
1)r在單詞中的發(fā)音
練習(xí): Rolly rolled a round roll around the road.
spare, burglar, dirty, porch, more
2)r帶動后面元音的發(fā)音
world girl pearl
The girls are the pearls in the world.
原則:只有字母r存在才能卷舌
經(jīng)常發(fā)錯的音:China, America, idea
二、美語中的變音現(xiàn)象
1、 連讀
1) 相同輔音的連讀
bad dog注意:不可以把音節(jié)給吞掉,只是這個音節(jié)不發(fā)音
like candy
ripe pear
some money
The report turned out to be totally false.這份報告完全是一派胡言。
2) 輔音+元音
It’s easy. Where’s our car? Come on in. What time is it now?
Figure it out. for example
中高級口譯中常常出現(xiàn)的連讀詞匯: of all ages
crude oil
a couple of
