英语发音连读的规则
连读的条件:相邻的两词在意义上必须密切相关,同属一个意群。连读所构成的音节一般都不重读,只需顺其自然地一带而过,不可读得太重,也不可音。(连读符号:~)
(1) “辅音+元音”型连读
在同一个意群里,如果相邻两词中的前一个词是以辅音结尾,后一个词是以元音开头,这就要将辅音与元音拼起来连读。
I ' m~an~English boy. It~is~an~old book. Let me have~a look~at~it.
Ms Black worked in~an~office last~yesterday.
I called~you half~an~hour~ago.
Put~it~on, please. Not~at~all.
Please pick~it~up.
(2) r/re+元音”型连读
如果前一个词是以-r或者-re结尾,后一个词是以元音开头,这时的r或re不但要发/r/,而且还要与后面的元音拼起来连读。
They're my fathre~and mother.
I looked for~it here~and there.
There~is a football under~it.
There~are some books on the desk.
Here~is a letter for you.
Here~are four~eggs.
But where~is my cup?
Where~are your brother~and sister?
但是,如果一个音节的前后都有字母r,即使后面的词以元音开头,也不能连读。
The black clouds are coming nearer and nearer. ( nearer 与and 不可连读)
(3) “辅音+半元音”型连读
英语语音中的/j/和/w/是半元音,如果前一个词是以辅音结尾,后一个词是以半元音,特别是/j/开头,此时也
要连读。
Thank~you.
Nice to meet~you.
Did~you get there late~again?
Would~you like~a cup~of tea ?
Could~you help me, please?
“音的同化”
—常把/d/+/j/ 读成/dV/,did you 听上成了/dldVu/,would you 成了/wudVu/,could you 成了/kudVu/。
(4) “元音+元音”型连读如果前一个词以元音结尾,后一个词以元音开头,这两个音往往也要自然而不间断地连读到一起。
l~am Chinese.
He~is very friendly to me.
She wants to study~English. How~and why did you come here? She can ' t carry~it.
It'll take you three~hours to walk there.
The question is too~easy for him to answer.
(5) 当短语或从句之间按意群进行停顿时,意群与意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音与元音出现,也不可连读。
Is~it a~hat or a cat? ( hat与or之间不可以连读)
There~is~a good book in my desk. ( book 与in 之间不可以连读)
Can you speak~English or French? ( English 与or 之间不可以连读)
Shall we meet at~eight or ten tomorrow morning? (meet 与at,eight 与or 之间不可以连读)
She opened the door and walked~in. (door 与and 之间不可以连读)
失去爆破6个爆破音有3对/p/, /b/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/ 失去爆破,又叫不完全爆破,就是在某些情况下,只须做出发音的准备,但并不发音,稍稍停顿后就发后面的音。
(1) “爆破音+爆破音”型
6 个爆破音中的任意2 个相临时,前一个爆破音会失去爆破,即由相关的发音器官做好这个发音的姿势,稍做停顿后即发后面的爆破音。
The girl in the re(d) coat was on a bla(ck) bike jus(t) now.
The bi(g) bus from the fa(c) tory is full of people.
Wha(t) time does he get up every morning?

You can put i(t) down in the bi(g) garden.
I bought a chea(p) book, but it a goo(d) b'oosk.
(2) “爆破音+摩擦音”型如果前面是爆破音,其后紧跟着某些摩擦音(如/f/, /s/, /W/, /T/等),那么前面那个爆破音仅有十分轻微的爆破,而后面那个摩擦音则要完全爆破。
