如果前一个词是由元音[i]结尾,下一个词由元音开头,那么,在[i]后面加上一个辅音[y]
只说规则似乎有点不好理解,看例子就明白了。
Go away. [Go(w)away]
在电影Big Fish中,巨人Carl说过这句话。因为巨人说话又慢又重,所以那个w很明显。
再来看一个例子:
I also need the other one. [I(y)also need thee(y)other one]
这种连读不能把辅音w或者j发得太重,否则会显得很傻,但是不发这两个辅音的话又会很难念得顺口。
go anywhere [go(w)anywhere]
through our [through(w)our]
do I? [do(w)I?]
I asked [I(y)asked]
she always [she(y)always]
4. T, D, S 或 Z + Y的连读
如果前面的单词是以T/D/S/Z结尾,后面的单词是以Y开头(一般是you这个词),那么有如下的连读规则可以使用。
4.1. T + Y = CH
What’s your name? [w?cher name]
Can’t you do it? [k?nt chew do(w)it]
I’ll bet you ten bucks he forgot. [?l betcha ten buxee frg?t]
Is that your final answer? [is th?chr fin'l?n sr]
natural [n?chr?l]
perpetual [perpech?(w)?l]
virtual [vrch?(w)?l]
4.2. D + Y = J
Did you see it? [didj? see(y)it]
How did you like it? [h?o?j? lye kit]
Could you tell? [küj? tell]
individual [ind?vij?(w)?l]
graduation [gr?j?(w)ation]
