吞音Reduced Sound
>Held sound of T
If you have an N immediately after a T, you don’t pop the T—the tongue is in the T position—but you release the air with the N.
什么时候吞掉t音?t后面跟着一个n的鼻音,嘴型还是t的嘴型,但是不发出t音,只念出n的音。
单词例子:
- cer
tain - moun
tain - foun
tain - impor
tant - wri
tten - sen
tence - bellybu
tton - cur
tain - ea
ten - threa
ten - frigh
ten - mu
tant
句子例子:
- Visiting Cupertino in July is a cer
tain thing. - It is a very impor
tant farewell address. - A marine sniper has threa
tened me. - The hikers went into the moun
tains. - Mar
tin has gotten a kitten. - He has not forgo
tten what was written about the mutant on the mountain.
第2种吞音的现象,是在铺音之前的t被吞掉。
>T before a consonant
If a T sound word is followed by a word with a consonant sound, T will be reduced.
例子:
- i
twas - tha
twas - wha
twas - jus
tforgotthe time
和上面的语音现象相同,辅音前的t会被吞掉。句末的t也会被吞掉。
>Silent T
- She hi
tthe hothutwith her hat. - We wen
tto thatNetsiteto getwhatwe needed. - Pa
twas quiteright, wasn’tshe? - Wha
t? Putmy hatback! - ho
t, late, fat, goat, hit, put, not, hurt, what, set, paint, wait, sit, dirt, note, fit, lot, light, suit, point, incident, tight
两个辅音在单词末尾和后面单词开头相遇,同音或相同字母,前面的音会被吞掉。
>Reduced Repeated sound
If the last syllable of a word and the first syllable of the other word that follows are the same, reduce the syllable of the first word.
例子:
- i
ttakes me - bu
sschedule - wi
