　　英语笔记

　　1.up to you 表示“由你决定”。

　　2.need 的/d/失去爆破，to 弱读为/tə/，need to 读作/nɪ tə/。

　　3.mid-range 是更正信息，需要重读。

　　4.on an 连读作/ɒ nən/。

　　英语语音语调

　　更正信息需要重读

　　当一方说错某件事，另一方更正对方的错误时，需要强调正确的信息，这时正确的信息就要重读。如：

　　A: Do you lose your purse again?

　　你又把钱包弄丢了?

　　B：No.I keep it in my pocket.

　　没有，在我包里呢。

　　我没有“弄丢”，而是“放在”包里了，所以keep要重读。)

　　A: I will come here again on Thursday.

　　我星期四再来。

　　B：You should come on Tuesday.

　　你应该星期二来。

　　(强调不是“星期四”来，而是“星期二”来，所以Tuesday要重读。)
