　　英语笔记

　　1.look at 连读为/lʊ kæt/。

　　2.for 后接辅音，弱读作/fə/。

　　3.area 与 is 连读，中间加辅助音/r/，读作/eərɪərɪz/。

　　4.be known as 是指“被认为是”。

　　5.honeymoon trip 意思是“蜜月旅行”。

　　英语语音语调

　　元音连读时中间加辅助音/r/

　　在The area is pleasantly illuminated at night这句中，area is读作/ɛərɪərɪz/。当元音连续出现时，需要在两元音之间添加一个辅助音。一般情况下加/r/，如：

　　where are读作/r/。

　　idea of读作/aɪ'dɪərəv/

　　drama and读作/drɑ:mərənd/

　　但在持殊情况下，也会添加辅助音/j/或/W/。
