词以辅音结尾,后词以音开头,则此时音可省略不发音。
前词的辅音与后的元音进行连读。
“辅音+词首/h/的连读”。he由/hi:/变为/i:/或/i/。
?
If he did?
??
Is he gone?
??

??
What did he say?
?his 由/h?z/变为/?z/。
?
Open his cage.
??
take his place
??
It's his family.
??
What is his real name?
?
him由/h?m/变为/?m/。
?

??
I like him. He's nice.
??
Oh, just ask him.
??
Then I wrap him up.
?
her由/h??r/变为/??r/、/??/、/?r/或/?/。
/??r/和/?r/为美式读法,/??/和/?/为英式读法。
?

??
Ask her her name.
??
Tell her yourself.
??
I'm gonna miss her.
?here由/h??/变为/??/。
?

?注意:have比较特殊
1)have可读作/?v/,或弱读为/?v/。
?
- Let's have some tea. - Yes.
??
Those boots have seen better days.
??
Yeah, this has happened before.
??
The moment has arrived for their first flight.
?
2)should、could、would与have也分别连读作/??d?v/、/k?d?v/、/w?d?v/。有时,也可直接省略/v/,读作/??d?/、/k?d?/、/w?d?/。
听录音,仔细辨别录音中should、could、would与have的连读。
?
I should've known.
??
You should've seen me.
??
I could've made it work.
??
I wish I could've done more.
??
I would've hated any theme.
??
And I would've loved his baby.
?注意:
1. 在一个句子中,代词he、his、her、him等通常需要弱读,有时即使它们前面的音不是辅音,也会产生弱读。如:
?
Whatever it is, I can give it to him.
?
2. /h/音的省略出现在很多英语口音和方言中,如美语、威尔士英语、苏格兰英语等。但有学者认为省略/h/音是对英语掌握不佳、教育程度低的体现。英语学习者不一定要按照这种规则发音,但需要具备在语境中理解、识别/h/音省略的能力。
3.以下例外情况时,/h/音不略读:
1)出现在句首:
?
Who do we have here? (who-/hu?/)
?2)出现在一个意群的首单词:
?
I think he will be fine.
?3)作为重读(大写字母+粗体)的单词:
