　　英语笔记

　　1.him 的/h/不发音，on him读作/ɒnɪm/。

　　2.right 中的“gh”不发音。

　　3.stay/ keep calm 是指“保持冷静”。

　　4.handsome 的尾音和man 的首音都是/m/，前一个/m/不发出来，因此该词组读作/'hænsə mæn/。

　　5.miss 在这里是指“接不住(球)”。

　　英语语音语调

　　单词中-gh组合不发音的情况

　　-gh这个字母组合在英语单词中经常不发音，具体情况包括：

　　1.当-gh出现在词尾时不发音，如：

　　thorough　/ˈθʌrə/彻底的，完全的

　　high /haɪ/高的

　　2.当-gh出现在字母t之前不发音，如：

　　height /haɪt/高度
