英语笔记
1.此处省略了主语和谓语，完整句子为How many pieces do you have?
2.What is the limit?意为“上限是多少?”。
3.allowed 为规则动词allow 的过去式，allow为元音/aʊ/结尾，所以allowed 读作/ə'ləʊd/。
4.carry it on 连读为/'kærɪtɒn/。
英语语音语调
规则动词过去式词尾-ed的发音
你听到的allowed读作/ə'ləʊd/。这是遵循了规则动词过去式发音的基本规则。具体情况如下：
1.以/t/或/d/结尾的动词，其过去式末尾的-ed发音为额外音节/ɪd/，如：
wait→waited/weɪtɪd/
等待
2.以浊辅音结尾的动词，其过去式末尾的-ed发音为浊辅音/d/，如：
close→closed /kləʊzd/
3.以清辅音结尾的动词，其过去式末尾的-ed发音为清辅音/t/，如：
work→worked /wɜ:kt/
工作
注：1.如果动词过去式后面的单词以元音开始，那么词尾的-ed与后面的单词连读，如：
stressed out /stres taʊt/
过度紧张
cooked it /kʊktɪt/
烹饪
2.如果动词过去式后面的单词首音与该动词的词尾发音相同或相似，则出现不完全爆破，如：
planned to /plæn(d)tʊ/
打算做某事
listened to /ˈlɪsn(d)tʊ/
听
