【聽透美語】
And please listen to me to see what's the differences between my speech and recording.
A : I heard Beth's surprise birthday party is on Sunday.
B : Keep your mouth shut about that. I don't want her to find out.
【聽力點撥】
We should pay attention to the following places.
1 Beth's surprise[ beθs] [[s?'praiz]
Beth's的發音尾音為[s], 跟 surprise的第一個音相同,因此,這個尾音就不發出來了,那么Beth的尾音是[θ], 這個讀音又和surprise 的第一個音相式,因此[θ]這個音也要保持沉默。So it should be pronounced as [bes?'praiz].
2 is on [iz] [?n]
這里is 以輔音[z]結尾,on 以元音[?]開頭,前面的輔音跟后面的元音進行連讀就是[iz?n]. There is not any stress falling on the two syllables .
3 shut about that [??t] [?'baut] [e?t]
Shut 以清輔音而且是爆破音[t]結尾, about 是以元音[?]開頭,前一個單詞的英標為輔音,后一個單詞的開頭音標是元音,則這個輔音跟這個元音進行連讀,就是[t?], 清輔音在元音前濁化為濁輔音,就讀為[d?], about是以[t]結尾,[t]在輔音[e]前不發音,因此shut about that 就讀為['??d?bau'e?t]. The stresses falls on the first and third syllable.
4 want her to find out
To 在美語中的發音是[d?], find 以輔音[d]結尾,out 以雙元音[au]開頭,根據連讀規則,將其進行連讀,就是['faindaut].
