英语笔记

1.前一个单词的尾音与后一个单词的首音相同，第一个/t/不发音，读作/rɪ'zɪstemp/。

2.pull one's leg 指“跟某人开玩笑”。

3.diet pills 是指“减肥药”。

4.That's 的/ts/与your 的/j/连读为/tʃ/，that's your 连读为/ðæ tʃ ɒ/。

英语语音语调

/ts/+/j/的连读

你听到的that's your的发音并不是/ðæts jɒ/，而是/ðæ tʃ ɒ/，这是因为/ts/与/j/发生了辅音与辅音的连读，变成了另外一个辅音/tʃ/，这是辅音与辅音相遇的一种变音情况。

再如：

I like its yellow paint inside.

我喜欢它里面漆成黄色。

its yellow/ɪts'jeləʊ/→/ɪ'tʃeləʊ /.

That's your task today.

这是你今天的工作。

that's your /ðæts jɒ/→ðæ tʃɒ//。
