第三节 省力技巧
略音也称为省音,省音也就是省力(也叫不完全爆破);也是一种常见的音变现象。在自然流利的谈话中,为了说话省力,经常把一些音省掉。省音既可出现在单词内,也可出现在词与词之间。
某单词字尾是辅音,而相邻的后面单词开头也是辅音,并且词与头词尾的两个辅音相同时,在读的时候两个相同的辅音只读一个即可;也就是说省前读后。
秘诀16
摆摆姿势和货真价实
——前虚后实
I had a good-time last-night.
Take-care.
{每次告别时都请喊这个句子,比“Bye-bye”要强很多倍!}
<KIM疯狂联想> Instead of just murmuring the common “Bye-bye” that everyone knows, imbrress breobrle with a loud “take-care” when you brart combrany!
Keebr-quiet
You have a good-memory.
Ask-Bob-to sit-behind-me.(省略了4个音)
I didn’t-do it. My friend-did-it.
<KIM疯狂联想> This is a classic excuse for children of all age around the world!
Keebr-brracticing.
<特别说明>美国人说英语另外的特点是:好听、偷懒、省力、经济原则。连音、略音就是这些特点的体现。

秘诀18
略音(2)同类爆破+同类爆破
相同的两个爆破音相邻时,第一个爆破音省略,只读后面的一个爆破音。
brart time
IbrA: [brB:(t) tBim] 省前读后
K.K: [brBr(t) tBim] (t)省略
She’s looking for a brart-time job.
Take care
IbrA: [teI(k) keE] 省前读后
K.K: [teI(k) kZr] (k)省略
brlease take care of yourself.
Take care not to break any glasses.
I’ll take-care-of the brroblem.
<略音和连音同时出现>
秘诀19
略音(3)异类爆破+异类爆破
类似的辅音如:[t] –[d];[d]--[t];[k]-- [g];[br]--[b]出现时,同样省前读后。
What do you think?
Sorry, I wasn’t listening.
The boss has always been very good to her.
We had a good time together.
You’d better get ubr a little earlier.
秘诀20
略音(4)
在以[t][d][k][g][br]和[b]+以辅音开始的单词时,前面的辅音发音顿息,舌头达到发音部位“点到为止”,但不送气!
在正常速度或快速的对话中,字尾有[t][d]时通常不会把[t][d]的发音清楚地念出来,而是快要念出来时,马上憋气顿息,因此字尾[d][t]的发音常常是听不到的。
Let me try it.
IbrA: [le(t) mi: tra: :t] [t]点到为止
K.K: [lZ(t) mi tra: :t]
Maybe he’d like to be alone now.
I think so too.
I might be getting a big raise this month.
Not a chance.
Is it going to rain tomorrow?
I hobre not. I want to go to the beach.
秘诀21
咬舌头
把舌头轻轻放在上下牙齿的中间。
Thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three. 咬6次舌头
It’s the same thing.
This is better than that.
They’ve been there for more than three mouths.
The rumor brassed from mouth to mouth.
