　　英语笔记

　　1.这里指“嘴麻了”。

　　2.for 弱读为/fə/，与后面的元音连读，加辅助音/r/，读作/fərɪts/。

　　3.仔细听这里的发音为/mʌtənənˈkærət/，and 被弱化了，同时/d/音也消失了。

　　4.这里的形容词super是这句话的关键。

　　英语语音语调

　　关键词重读

　　一般情况下，直接影响句意的关键词要重读，包括名词、实义动词、形容词、副词、某些代词、感叹词等。如：

　　He hurl himself.动词hurt重读

　　It's amazing!形容词amazing重读

　　The car is mine.代词mine重读

　　同时，要注意一些不需要重读的情况，如主语位于实义动词后时，动词不重读.too、much、very等程度副词不重读l用于指代前面已出现名词的代词不重读等。
