　　英语笔记

　　1.前词的辅音词尾使her 中的/h/消音，with her 读作/wɪðɜ:/。

　　2.best 的尾音和to 的首音都是/t/，因此前一个/t/不发音，读作/bestə/。

　　3.take the lead in sth.意思是“在某件事中起带头作用”。

　　4.advice/ədˈvaɪs/是名词读音，advise/əd'vaɪz/是动词读音，注意两种词性读音的区别。

　　英语语音语调

　　英美语调对比(二)

　　相比而言，美式英语的语调更趋于自然，也不像英式英语那样依次降低。美式英语句子的整体语调是低平的，重读部分语调高，句子的升降调郝在句尾体现。也就是说，在美式英语中，找准句子中重读的部分，确定句尾语调的升降与否，基本上就可以念准整句话的语调了，而不必像在英式英语中那样让语调递降。如：

　　I was all over her the first time I saw her↘.

　　当我弟一眼看到她时，我就被她迷住了。

　　What should I wear↘?

　　我应该穿什么衣服?

　　It is necessary for every date↘.

　　每次约会都需要它(玫瑰)。
