作业反馈:
发音:
woman/‘wʊmən/ 短u,可以发成/ə/
time 念完,不要把鼻音m吞掉
very good 强调下very 重音落在good上
good book
重音基本原则:
1. 根据意群,选择重读弱读一些音;
2. 每个意群中有很多重音,但只有一个重音,叫做“调核”,一般是放在意群中最核心有意义的词上;如果听不出来,去模仿就是了。还是要相信自己的耳朵,所谓理论只是帮助我们去理解,而不是让我们掉进理论的陷阱里。在练习说的同时,一定要花更多的时间练习听。
3. 重音并非念得声音大;
5. 理论是帮助我们来理解的。多听,语调有问题,原因是听得太少。脑子中没有正确的语调,便无法说出自然地道的发音,与写作一样,脑子里没有正确的句子,又如何写出正确的句子呢。
6. 语调,就是模仿来的。所以一定要多听,多模仿,一遍不行,哪怕100遍都是正常的练习。
8. 学东西要动脑袋,动嘴,一遍遍模仿,不然学不好。Don’t ask why, just do it.
连读:(有意识地去练习,把可以连读的音合在一起,当成一个词来感觉)
put some sugar in it 连读读得要轻一些
try it 连读,加个 /j/
do it 连读,加个/w/
对话:
1. keep 发音 /kip/ 不是/keip/,我曾经读错这个音好久,才意识到自己发错了。注意另一个音:cookie /'kʊki/ 而不是/kukei/
2. why are you so annoyed? 这里why are you 不要重读,同how are you?
3. just t很轻,放轻松读
4. 连读:just enjoying ; destroy all the toys 加 /j/
5. 口语表达:小点声,别制造噪音了
stop that noise.
keep your voices down.
keep it down.
knock it off.
6. I am sure I wasn't that noisy when I was a little boy. 我小时候怎么没那么吵。
7. It’s not the toys that are noisy-it's the boys!
连读:that are 听起来 the der
重读音节时,念完整
down town 不要把n省略
down不好念,非常值得念至少两三个星期,每天练,看舌位
tower /'taʊɚ/
单词末尾的er读法:
shower: [ˈʃaʊɚ] er和前面的w一起读;
注意:singer [ˈsɪŋɚ] 这里的er不和g一起读
口语表达:不要慌:
Calm down; calm down and carry on
Take it easy;
Chill;
Easy;
Keep it together;
Relax;
Don't panic;
Pull yourself together.
发音注意:It was probably something outside. Or maybe the shower. I was taking a shower. 在这里不要重读 I was taking a shower.
如何处理这只老鼠:
Move the couch around. Turn it upside down. We have to get it out somehow. We can't have a mouse in the house. We have company coming from out of town.
语音点:
1. mouse /maʊs/ 注意发音时,由a滑到w
2. have to, of course 发音:
have 末尾是/v/的音,但是在这里受到后面/t/的影响,发音其实是haf to;
of 是唯一一个f字母要读成/v/的,平常介词的读音都是ov,在这里受到后面k的影响,发音是/of/
3. somehow 发中文的三声
口语表达:
inside out 彻底的,里面翻到外面;衣服穿反了可以说:Your shirt is inside out.
upside down 颠倒的 (upend)
turn sth upside down/inside out 可以表示造成巨大变化/混乱 (参考肉丸子笔记)
e.g. Her leaving turned his world upside down.
e.g. The new manager turned the old system inside out.
△ know sb/sth inside out / like the back of your hand 了如指掌
e.g.This is where I grew up. I know this area inside out.
potato拓展:
ˈcouch potato 老泡在电视机前的人
hot potato 棘手的问题,烫手山芋
small 'potato 无足轻重的人/事物
meat and potatoes 最基本的部分,最必要的部分
最后需要注意:aw这个音比较难,需要有意识地去练习。
