英语笔记

1.make an appointment 是指“预约”，后面可以接with sb.。

2.这里出现了清辅音向浊辅音变化的现象，/t/的发音类似于/d/。

3.do you 连读时do 的元音省略不读，连读为/dju:/，混音后读作/dʒu:/。

4.soft 形容词加en 变为相应的动词，类似的词还有deepen, broaden, weaken 等。

英语语音语调

wait a moment——清辅音向浊辅音变化

/t/是清辅音，/d/是相应的浊辅音。当/t/后面的音为元音，并与该元音组成非重读音节时，其发音类似于/d/。但实际上这个音不是/d/，而是此/d/轻得多的音，只需舌尖向/t/的位置轻轻一触即可。

如：

Have you got a minute?

你有时间吗?

What is he going to say at the meeting?

他在会议上准备说什么?

Let's start out with it first.

我们先做这件事吧。
