Topic46 E-mail 还是写信

情境导读

Cherry在给妈妈写信，Jane认为发电邮更方便，Cherry告诉她写信而不用电邮的原因。

英语情景会话

(以下C代表Cherry.J代表Jane)

J: Hi, Cherry, what're you doing now?

C: I'm writing a letter to my mother. I wanna tell her about the score I got this semester.

J: So why don't you use e-mail? You see, it's faster and more convenient. You don't have

to use any paper and you don't need to worry about spelling mistakes. It has more advantages.

C: You're right. But my mother is not very good at computer things. I taught her before, but she doesn't like to use computer and forget it soon.

J: Maybe you should keep on teaching her. Finally she can leam it.

C: Yeah. maybe. But my mom likes reading my letters much more. We write every week and

she said when she saw my letter she felt that I'm standing in front of her. This is the feeling e-mail can not bring to her. And for me, I don't think it's a waste of time.

英语笔记

1.has 弱读时为/əz/,It has 连读作/ɪtəz/。

2.advantage/əd'vɑ:ntɪdʒ/重读在第二个音节上。

3.此句中can 的发音弱化，读作/kən/。

4.of 前面是浊辅音，后面是清辅音，弱读为/ə/。

英语语音语调

of的弱读(二)

口语中，of前面如果是浊辅音，则of/əv/的/ə/常被保留。这时，如果of的后面接一个完全阻碍的清辅音，如/t/，/p/等时.of/əv/中的/v/音常会省去，只发/ə/的音，如：

There are a lot of /ə/ people on the square.

广场上有很多人。

如果of后面接浊辅音，/v/音常被保留，如：

It's very kind of/əv/ you.

你真是太好了。

为了避免麻烦，在一般情况下可把of读作/ə/。
