「重要发音技巧」

Welcome back. This episode is truly frightening, right? I am

just wondering what the witch creature will do? Will she truly eat

people? I totally have no idea. I think the only thing that we can

do is to wait for the next episode. Anyway, let’s learn some

important tips of pronunciations first.

欢迎回来。这集真的是怪吓人的，是吗？我在想这个女巫会做什么呢？她真的会吃人吗？我完全没有想法。我觉得吧我们现在唯一能做的事情就是等下一集了。不管怎么样，让我们先学习一些重要的发

音技巧。

1. 缩读

如果两个单词一起读，前一个单词的末尾字母是t或者是d，后一个单词的首字母为辅音，很多时候t和d都会被爆掉，直接不发音，只保留半口的小停顿。

在文章中，警官说了句:

Okay, calm down, calm down. Lemme see your eyes

那么这里的 let me 变成 lemme。所以乍一看，可能觉得拼写错误，但是这是一种非常口语化的表达方式。

例如：

Let me go. = Lemme go. 让我走。

Let me in. = Lemme in. 让我进来。

同样的用法有：

give me = gimme

2. 辅元连读

一句话中相邻的两个单词，前一个单词以辅音结尾，后一个单词以元音开始，拼读成“辅音+元音”的连读。

文章中：

We suspected her of being a kidnapper or rapist but it

turns out she’s an alien or something.

我们怀疑她是个绑架嫌疑人或是强奸犯，但结果她是个外星人或其他什么东西。

例如：

an apple → anapple

…when a boy → …whena boy

in addition → inaddition

take it → takit
