【瑞秋英语】十个最重要的英语词汇发音指导(美式英语)

100个最常见的美式单词发音之第1-10个
导读
在实际的口语运用中,并不需要把每一个单词的完整发音(full pronunciation)念出来,单词发音在句子中会发生改变,存在相当多的弱化(reduction)现象,或者不发音。需要学习美式英语的韵律(rhythm in American English),才能听懂美国人说话,让自己的发音更加地道。
弱读举例
that,have,to这一类虚词(function words)如果统统读完整,会非常不自然。
- This is for work.
其中is和for需要快速发音,弱读为iz和fer。
以下为美式英语最常见的100个单词在实际运用中的发音
1.the
- 在辅音之前发音快且弱,e.g. the most, the cat
- 在元音之前e发音变为i,e.g. the other
2.be动词
通常以缩略形式(contraction)发音
- I am - I'm - 'M
I'm sorry.
I'm running late. - M'running late.
- You are - You're - yer
You're going to be okay.
发音极快,基本听不见元音
- He is - He's
- She is - She's
在以上两处is发z音
- It is - It's - ts
It's cool. It's awesome. It's raining.
弱化强烈时it's中的元音消失
- We are - We're
We're running late.
- They are - They're
They're okay.
3.to
- 在应用中很少完整发音,而是产生弱化
- 有些情况开头的t会更像d,或者被称为弹舌音(flap t),e.g. Let's go to the beach.
4.of
快速发音产生弱化
kind of, sort of
I'm kind of tired.
5.and
有几种不同的弱读方式:aa-uhd(非完整元音)及an(省略d)
And I think it will be okay.
此处发字母n的音,并与后面的I连读
练习:
cookies and cream
salt and pepper
black and white
up and down
left and right
6.a/an
发生弱读
a coffee
an example
7.in
发音没有改变,但不需重读(unstressed),短而含糊
He's in love.
She's in a hurry.
8.that
- 许多情况下产生弱化,通常不发完整
- 当遇见元音开头的单词,末尾的t变为flat t
that I
- 遇见辅音开头单词t不发音(stop t)
that she
9.have
更多以缩略形式出现
- I have been wanting to see that.
缩略为I've
- You have - You've
- He has - He's
He's been waiting.
- 在He's, She's后面发音变为[z]
- 在It's中发[its]
- We have - we've
- They have - they've
10.I
发音迅速,无需发完整元音
I think so.
总结
以上全部单词在句子中都未发单词原本的发音,而是非重读(unstressed)或者产生弱化(reduced)。
