英语笔记
1.hold on “坚持”,连读作/həul dɔn/。
2.浊擦音/v/遇到清辅音/t/,同化为/f/,love to 读作/lʌftə/。
3.这里 rest 重读,表示强调。
英语语音语调
love to中的同化现象
在I'd love to go home这个句子中,love to不读作/lʌvtə/,而是/lʌftə/。这是因为在这两个词中出现了同化现象。当浊擦音后面紧跟着清辅音时,这个浊擦音就要变为相对应的清擦膏,即/v/就变为/f/,love to读作/lʌftə/。类似的情况还有:
has to /hæstə/
five persons /faɪfpɜ:sənz/
have seen /hæfsi:n/
