三、美语中的变音现象
1、 连读
1) 相同辅音的连读
bad dog 注意:不可以把音节给吞掉,只是这个音节不发音
like candy
ripe pear
some money
the report turned out to be totally false.这份报告完全是一派胡言。
2) 辅音+元音
it’s easy. where’s our car? come on in. what time is it now?
figure it out. for example
中高级口译中常常出现的连读词汇: of all ages
crude oil
a couple of
travel agency
your own
our own
set in motion
3) 元音+元音
be on time
注:元音i后面再跟一个元音,两个元音间要加入一个“耶”的音
stay up
flow out
注:元音o后面再跟一个元音,两个元音间要加入一个“我”的音
grow up
she works day in and day out.
连读小结:
相同辅音的连读
辅音+元音的连读
元音+元音的连读
2、失爆(吞读)
两个爆破音连接在一起时出现失爆(吞读)
什么是爆破音:p, b, k, g, t, d
六个爆破音任何一个后面紧接着另一个爆破音或摩擦音或鼻音时,前一个爆破音将失去爆破。
lap top
great deal
good time
the red cross
a fast train
a big change
currently
probably
say it proudly and loudly
at last
3、缩读
and---n: do you know nancy and david? tom and jerry
are you---ya: ya going to the movie tonight? what ya doing here?
缩读的原则:
1、 绝对不会是重点音节,不可以重读
2、 只能出现在非正式场合
do you----dy’a : how dy’a feel now? how dy’a like the movie?
did you---dja: how dja make it?
because—cause: i don’t like her cause she’s mean
could have—could’a : you could’a hurt yourself. (should ,would same)
could not have---couldn’a he couldn’a done that.
can---cn: i can be there in an hour.
i can do a lot of things that other people can not do it.
