　　1.it中的/t/在爆破音/b/前失去爆破，/t/不发音。

　　2.此处应用双降调。

　　3.注意acute/əˈkju:t/(敏锐的)和cute/ˈkju:t/(可爱的)读音的区别。

　　4.“下象棋”，此处chess前不需加定冠词the。

　　英语语音语调

　　双降调

　　1.带有yes和no的简略回答要用双降调，如：

　　J：Are you interested in it?

　　你有兴趣吗?

　　M：Yes↘, I am↘.

　　是的，有兴趣。

　　2.主语在前、从句在后的句子也可用双降调，语气肯定，如：

　　I learned to play it↘ when I was at high school↘.

　　我高中的时候就学象棋了。

　　3.对提问把握很大的反意疑问句要用双降调，如：

　　It will be very exciting for us to meet our match↘, won't it↘?

　　我们棋逢对手一定会很有意思的，不是吗?
