中国人在口语表达的过程中，讲究“字正腔圆、落地有声”、“大珠小珠落玉盘”，所以中国人说话就像是数豆子一般，一颗一颗的往下落数的才清楚，但英语恰恰相反，它需要将一句话中的某些个重点词汇给凸出来，其它的非重点词汇弱化，尤其是在美音中，它甚至会将两个或者以上的单词全部连起来读了，感觉就像是第一个单词没有读完，下一个紧跟着已经读出来了，或者是将某个单词的某个辅音直接给省略掉了。所以对已经习惯了一个字一个字掷地有声的中国人来说，好多人就会觉得英语“太含含糊糊”了，这也导致好多中国人听力非常的差。相反，如果老外说英语的时候是按照中国人的“一字一字落地有声”来读，那就不存在什么口语表达、听力不好的原因了。
所以，作为中国人，在学习英语的过程中，一定要去往英语语言习惯上靠近。当然，要练成如此“英语式”的口语表达，最根本的还是要去注意英语中的连读和略读。
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”。讲解：你还记得汉语拼音中有些单词xi'an（西安）、ku'ai（酷爱）吗？如果去掉隔音符，就成了xian（先）、kuai（快）了。英文中几乎所有的句子都是从头拼到尾，简单地说：连音就是两个单词相遇能拼读就拼，不能拼读就让过。1.far~away It's not far~away from here.2.in~an~hour I should be there in~an~hour.3.later~on I'm going to see a movie later~on .4.put~it~on Here's your sweater. Put~it~on.5.stand~up Stand~up and stretch for a while.6.take~care~of I'll always take care~of you .7.take~it~easy Take~it~easy! Everything is going to be fine.8.take~off Please fasten your seat belt. we will take~off shortly.9.there~are There~are forty students in my class.10、work~out I work~out every day to keep fit.5.I've got~a lot~of work to do.6.May I have~a cup~of milk?7.What do you think~of~it？一句话中相邻的两个单词，前一个单词以元音结尾，后一个单词以元音开始，则在两个元音之间加上一个轻微的 [j] 或 [w] 的音，拼读成“元音+ [j] 或 [w] +元音”。Come and see~us again soon.Will you be~able to come tomorrow?Could you say~it again please?Please pay~Ann her salary.Let's go~upstairs and have dinner.Can you show~us something else.注：元音与元音的连音是一种自然滑过后带出来的音。当你的发音接近流利时，你会发现不用刻意去发 [j] 和 [w] 就可以有效果，所以尽管放松地去练习，模仿是第一老师。在连音规则中，以“h”开头的单词 [h] 音近乎省略。因为 [h] 发音很特殊——只是出气没有摩擦，所以拼读时好像被省略了。3、Please give~him a hand！

英文最明显的语音规则除了连读外，就是略读了。爆破音和爆破音相邻，第一个爆破音只形成阻碍，但不发生爆破，称为失爆；爆破音和其他辅音相邻，该爆破音不完全爆破。英语语音中的失爆和不完全爆破现象，我们简称为“略读”。略读是英语语音学习的重点，也是一个难点，掌握好略读，也就掌握了地道英语发音的制胜法宝！注意：略读时并不是把整个音丢掉，而是发音时点到为止，有口型不发音或轻微发音。重要学术名词--爆破音：[p] [b] [t] [d] [k] [g]六个爆破音中任意两个相遇，一个爆破音后紧跟着另一个爆破音时，前面一个音点到为止，形成阻碍，但不发生爆破；第二个音完全爆破；若第二个爆破音在词尾，则必须轻化。以一个爆破音结尾并以同一个爆破音开始时，只发一次音，前一个音只做好发音准备而不发音，直接发第二个音。1.active=a(c)tive [k]+[t]Students are encouraged to be active in class.2.blackboard=blac(k)board [k]+[b]Our class has a large blackboard.3.dictation=di(k)tation [k]+[t]We'll have dictation today.4.football=foo(t)ball [t]+[b]There is going to be a football match tonight. Shall we watch it together?5.goodbye=goo(d)bye [d]+[b]以上列举的失爆和不完全爆破现象，都发生在单词内，实际上，在一个句子或者词组中，相邻的两个单词出现失爆和不完全爆破现象的几率要大于出现在单词内。1.Stop talking！=Sto(p)-talking!2.I don't care.=I don'(t) -care.3.I had a bad cold.=I had a ba(d)-cold.爆破音[t]和[d]后面紧跟鼻辅音[m]和[n]，[t]和[d]形成阻碍，在词末必须通过鼻腔爆破；发音时，舌尖紧贴上齿龈，稍放开立刻贴回，从爆破音到鼻音舌位不变，让气流通过鼻腔冲出，在词中则不完全爆破。Britain is made up of England, Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland.They are certain to agree.The high prices frighten off many customers.1、admire=a(d)mire [d]=[m]I really admire your enthusiasm.She admits to being strict with her children.3、goodness=goo(d)ness [d]+[n]1、Good morning!=Goo(d)-morning!2、Let me take a look.=Le(t)-me take a look.3、I don't know what to say.=I don'(t)-know what to say.爆破音[t]和[d]后面紧跟舌边音[l]，则必须由舌两边爆破，这种情况多发生在词尾。爆破音爆破音[t]和[d]后面紧跟清晰舌边[l]，则为不完全爆破。Any soldiers were killed in the battle.His soap is very gentle on the hands.The company has agreed to settle out of court.Give your name and title。1.heartless=hear(t)less [t]+[l]The decision does seem a little heartless.2.lately=la(te)ly [t]+[l]Have you seen him lately?Things have been going badly.4.needless=nee(d)less [d]+[l]Banning somking would save needless deaths.1.Good luck!=Goo(d)-luck!2.I would like to have one.=I woul(d) like to have one.3.At last, we made it to his party.=A(t) last, we made it to his party.当爆破音后紧跟着摩擦音和破擦音时，该爆破音形成阻碍，但不完全爆破。摩擦音：[f][v][θ][ ð][s][ z][ ʃ][ ʒ ][h][r]破擦音：[ts]-[dz],[tr]-[dr],[tʃ]-[dʒ]1.advance=a(d)vance [d]+[v]We live in an age of rapid technologcical advance.2.bookshop=boo(k)shop [k]+[ ʃ]The bookshop opens at 7 o'clock in the morning.3.helpful=hel(p)ful [p]+[f]A: Sorry, I can't be more helpful.B: Thank you. You're been very helpful.4.lecture=le(c)ture [k]+[tʃ]Mr Li is giving a lecture to first-year students.5.object=o(b)ject [b]+[dʒ]The object is to educate people about road safety.1.You look fantastic.=You loo(k)-fantastic.2.I'll get there by ten.=I'll ge(t) there by ten.3.Let's have a good chat.=Let's have a goo(d)-chat.4.I haven't read the book.=I haven'(t)-read the book.5.Wish you a great success!=Wish you a grea(t)-success!6.Put the book on the desk.=Pu(t)-the book on the desk.7.She is one of my old friends.=She is one of my ol(d)-friends.8.I'd like a room with a good view.=I'd like a room with a goo(d) view.9.I am quite sure that you will win.=I am qui(te) sure that you will win.10.Don't judge people only by appearance.=Don'(t) judge people only by appearance.当句子较长时，人们会觉得很难一口气把话说完。这时，可以按语义和语法的关系把句子分为若干段，每一段就是一个意群。换句话说，意群就是可以构成一个相对独立意思的一段，是组成句子的部件。意群和意群之间可以有一定的停顿，这种停顿和人们的思维活动是一致的。但一个意群中的各个单词之间则不可停顿，整个意群读下来就像一个长单词一样。记住：英语不是一个词一个词地说的。例1：Repeating after tapes is very inportant for beginners.意群：Repeating after tapes | is very inportant | for beginners.例2：Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, happy, and wise.意群：Early to bed | and early to rise | makes a man | healthy, happy, and wise.睡得早，起得早，健康、快乐、头脑好。例3：Liu Xiang, who's a brilliant runner,represented China at Olympic Games.意群：Liu Xiang, | who's a brilliant runner, | represented China | at Olympic Games.优秀的跑步运动员刘翔代表中国参加了奥运会。例4：But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense.意群：But | the most important argument | for a broad education | is that | in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, | we improve our moral sense.但普及教育最重要的原因在于通过学习前任所凝结的智慧结晶，使我们的是非道德观得以改善。意群之间的停顿，根据说话人的情况而定，并非一定要停顿不可。但如有停顿，则必须在意群之间，随意乱停就破坏了语言的节奏。英语中有一则有关句子重音的笑话：有一个人去邮局买了一张邮票，准备发信，他问：“Must I stick it on myself?”由于on 不该重读而重读了，原意“我自己贴（在信封）上吗？”却成了“我得把邮票贴自己身上吗？”结果出了洋相。可见，正确处理句子重读绝对不可忽视。在连贯的话语中，不可能所有的词都同样重要，必须有些词较为关键，有些词则相对次要一些。一般来说，关键词需要重读，这就是句子的重音，而其他词则不必重读。或者可以说成：实词重读，虚词不重读。实义动词、名词、形容词、副词、数词、疑问词和感叹词等。助动词、情态动词、冠词、介词、连词、物主代词、关系代词和关系副词等。另外，人称代词、连词、介词和助动词等一般不重读，但在特定情景中，也需要重读。如人称代词做并列主语或宾语时需重读，句首的介词也需要重读，做主语或宾语的指示代词也需要重读。在听力考试中，句子重音可以帮助考生找到关键词，并把握住主要意思，正确理解所听的内容。一般情况下，在不需要特别强调或对比某些内容时，句子的重音通常落在最后一个出现的实词上，例如：例如：The course was more difficult than she had expected, but she got a lot out of it.译文：这个课程比她想象中的难多了，但她还是从中学会了很多东西。这个句子中，只要听到重读的词或词组就不难正确理解句意。（1）courage， more difficult， expected；句子的重音总是要表现说话人的思想和他所表达意思的重点，有时为了强调，句子中几乎任何词都可以有句子重音，包括一些通常没有句子重音的词，这种依说话者意图重读的音就是逻辑重音。语调是帮助我们表达各种思想感情的重要途径，英语语调的基本类型有降调、升调和平调。降调表示说话人的态度肯定、意思完整、语法结构独立；升调表示说话人的态度不肯定、意思不完整、语法结构不独立；平调一般用于直接引语后面，表述所说的话，音高没有高低的变化。在意义比较复杂的句子或意群中，往往结合了三种基本语调，构成升降调或者降升调，而使语调变得复杂。美国英语比英国英语更平民化，它的语调也更趋于自然，较少故意的抑扬顿挫；英国英语语调则起伏较大。不同的语调可以表示说话人不同的态度和不同的隐含意思。英语中同一句话采用不同的语调会产生截然不同的语意概念。例如：“yes”，若用降调，表示说话人对所回答的问题十分确定；若用升调，表示对问题有疑问。语调具有强烈的感情色彩，它使语言更富有表现力。例如：I have already seen that movie. ↘例如：What has happened to him?↘注意：特殊疑问句有时候用升调表示请别人重复刚才他说过的话。A: I graduated from Lanzhou University and majored in mechanical engineering.↘例如：Go back to your seat! Now!↘例如：Do you want to drive↗ or walk?↘例如：Do you mind if I sit here?↗注意：一般疑问句有时候也用降调，表示一种不耐烦或者命令的语气。例如：For each incomplete sentence, there are four choices maked A↗, B↗, C↗, and D↘.译文：对于每一个不完整的句子，都会给出四个答案，分别为A、B、C和D.3. 用于陈述句，表示译文、怀疑、未定、猜测或期待等。例如：You really want to do it?↗例如：After dinner↗, I read a magazine and made telephone calls.例如：My fever is gone↗, but I still habe a cough.例如：Excuse me, sir↗. Can you help me↗?例如：Mrs. Smith↗, this is Tom Jones↘.例如：'We are going to Florida,' She said brightly.当然，以上发音规律的前提还是你对每个音节的发音要够标准哦~
