英语发音连读规则
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~year.
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 father~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/,didyou 听上成了/dIdVu/,wouldyou 成了/wudVu/,couldyou 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。
I~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) 不可连读的情况
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)
(6) 失爆造成的“ “ 连读” ”
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。
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?
This is an ol(d) pi(c)ture of a bi(g) car.
The ol(d) do(c)tor has a ca(t), too.
We’re going to work on a farm nex(t) Tuesday.
What would you like, ho(t) tea or bla(ck) coffee?
It’s a very col(d) day, but it’s a goo(d) day.
You can put i(t) down in the bi(g) garden.
I bought a chea(p) book, but it’s agoo(d) book. (b)“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。
Goo(d) morning, Mr. Bell.
Goo(d) morning, dear.
Uncle Li’s fa(c)tory is qui(te) near to the cinema.

-Sorry, I don’(t) know.

Goo(d) luck, Richard. (a)“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。
