英语笔记
1.此疑问词重读，且为升调，表示说话人的疑问。
2.get tone up 出现了辅音同音消音和连读的现象，读作/ɡe ˈtəʊ ˈnʌp/。
3.National Fitness Day 为“全民健身日”。
4.BOCOG是缩略词，在此处读一个全新的读音/bəʊkɒg/。

缩略词的读法(一)
你听到的“BOCOG”是“北京奥组委”全称的缩略形式，读一个全新的读音/bəʊkɒg/。有些缩略词是由几个单词的首字母组成，且这些首字母组合看起来很像一个新单词，因此在发音上就遵循了单词的发音规则，读一个全新的读音，如：
TOEFL/ˈtəʊfl/:Test of English as a Foreign Language
托福考试
NATO /'neɪtəʊ/: North Atlantic Treaty Organization
北大西洋公约组织
NASA /'næsə/: National Aeronautics and Space Administration
美国国家航空和航天局
