英语笔记
1.do 用在动词前表示强调。此处加在have 前强调“确实有”。发音时也应该重读。
2.弱化现象。for 弱化为/fə/，us 弱化/əs/，for us 连读为/fərəs/。
3.be on sale 是指“廉价出售”。
4.音的浊化现象。better/'betə/，实际读音中近似于/'bedə/。
英语语音语调
如果清辅音/t/在非重读音节中，且前后都有元音，则该辅音常会浊化，读音近似于浊辅音/d/。比如：
I think it is better to have a bottle of champagne.
我觉得最好买瓶香槟。
better /'betə/口语中发音接近/'bedə/。
bottle /'bɒtl/口语中发音接近/'bɒdl/。
The yellow sweater looks very nice.
达件黄毛衣看起来很漂亮。
sweater/ˈswetə/口语中发音接近/ˈswedə/。
You will know the fact soon or later.
你迟早会知道真相。
later/'leɪtə/口语中发音接近/'leɪdə/。
