你会正确地读以下单词么:feel, fool, heal, wheel, …
你会正确地读以下词组 么:I am, s/he is, I always, too often, …
如果你不会正确发音,那么你需要学习 连读规则;如果你能够正确发音,但不知道原因,那你更需要学习连读规则——
今天,我就模仿赵老湿,来讲一讲英语口语中的连读。
“连读”在英语中叫Word Connections,借用法语的词汇时叫Liaison,读音为[li’eizn]——在这里要多说一句:从法语中借来的词读音一般都比较怪,一定要先查字典再去读它,免得搞错,比如debut[‘deibju:]
连读的意义
连读是语调中非常重要的一个组成要素。而语调是让别人更好听懂、更好理解的重要途径——语调的正确,比发音的准确还要重要。因为语调涉及的内容太多,而且很难用文字来描述,所以在这里只讲连读。
可能有人会认为连读会造成别人的理解困难,他们认为:还是把单词一个挨一个地读清楚更容易听明白。虽然这种说法明显是错误的,但是在这里我也不想浪费文字去反驳,读者们请自行决定是否要阅读或者离开。
一个例子
这里是一个连读的例子。在这个例子里,不仅仅有连读的存在,还包含发音的一些变化,请仔细分辨:
书写英语:They tell me that I’m easier to understand.
口语连读:theytellme thedaimeasier der-undersdand
连读的分类
英语中的连读主要有四种:
1)辅音+元音的连读(Consonant + Vowel)
2)辅音+辅音的连读
3)元音+元音的连读
4)T, D, S 或 Z + Y的连读
1. 辅音+元音的连读
一般来说中国人比较熟悉这种连读——前一个词由辅音结尾,后一个词由元音开头,于是就很自然地连起来了,比如:
My name is&helli p; | [my nay•miz] |
because I’ve. | [b’k’zäiv] |
pick up on the American intonation… | [pi•kə pan the(y) əmer’kə ninətənashən] |
不只是句子中,读字母缩写也可以连读:
LA | [eh•Lay] |
读数字时也可以连读:
902 5050 | [nai•no•too fai•vo•fai•vo] |
再来几个简单例子:
hold on | [hol don] |
turn over | [tur nover] |
tell her I miss her | [teller I misser] |
因为这种连读一般初中生都会,在这里就不详细介绍了,重头戏在后面,马上开演。
2. 辅音+辅音的连读
这个很难用文字描述,放到最后再讲。
3. 元音+元音的连读
如果前一个词是由元音[u]结尾,下一个词由元音开头,那么,在[u]后面加上一个辅音[w]
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] |
so honest | [so(w)honest] |
through our | [through(w)our] |
you are | [you(w)are] |
he is | [he(y)is] |
do I? | [do(w)I?] |
I asked | [I(y)asked] |
to open | [to(w)open] |
she always | [she(y)always] |
too often | [too(w)often] |
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

最后的话
可能有人会觉得奇怪,为什么在附录之后还有一段。嗯,就像电影在片尾字幕结束后的隐藏镜头一样,这一段是要用来揭密的:本文中的所有内容,包括规则和例子,都来自于ATT——《American Accent Training》这本书,Amazon上的网址是:http://www.amazon.com/American-Accent-Training- Speaking-Pronouncing/dp/0764114298/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books& qid=1251888224&sr=8-2。故而,所有的荣光属于原作者Ann Cook女士。另外,关于辅音和辅音的连读,恕我不能用简短的文字描述清楚,请自行参考原书(和CD)。谢谢观赏,再见……
