Hello, everyone, I'm TooWhite, here to teach you English.
大家好,我是太白,来教你们英语。
Today I want to talk about linking sounds
今天我想讲一下美式发音连读技巧
That's where one word ends with a consonant
一个词以辅音结尾
And the word after it begins with a vowel
下个单词以元音开头
So a, e, i, o, or u
就是a,e,i,o,或u
Now when this happens,
这种情况下
we usual combine the sound of this consonant
我们通常把这个辅音的发音
And this vowel together
和元音的发音组合也可以说融合在一起
So a few examples of this
举几个例子
The sentence would be
这个句子是
This is Mike
我是迈克
So obviously somebody named Mike
很明显有人叫迈克
But now 'this' ends with S, a consonant
但现在“this”以S结尾,S是一个辅音
'is' begins with I, a vowel
“is”以元音I开头,I是一个元音
So we put those two together and say 'this's'
所以我们把这个辅音和元音,放在一起说“这是”
So it's one word 'This's Mike'
所以只有一个词“这是迈克”
And after that, another example
接着,再举另一个例子
'That's a dog'
“那是只狗”
So again, ends with 's', a consonant
同样,以s结尾,一个辅音
'A', a vowel
“A”,一个元音
So we say 'That‘s a dog'
所以我们说“那是条狗”
Another one
还有一个例子
'What are you doing?'
“你在干什么?”
So 'what' ends with T, a consonant
所以“what”以T结尾,一个辅音
'Are' begins with a, a vowel
“Are”以a开头,一个元音
So that becomes 'What're you doing?'
所以就变成了“你在干什么?”
'What are you doing?' = 'What're you doing?'
“你在干什么?”“你在干什么?”
One last example would be
最后一个例子是
'Where are you going?'
“你要去哪里?”
Now 'where' ends with e
现在“where”以e结尾,一个元音结尾
But the “e” is silent at the end
但是e在结尾是不发音的
Therefore, we have the consonant sound of 'r'
因此,我们有辅音“r”
'Where are you going?'
“你要去哪里?”
So 'are' begins with a, a vowel
所以“are”以a开头,一个元音
So that becomes 'Where're you going?'
所以就变成了“你要去哪里?”
So that's all for today
今天结束了
