igloo怎么读 为什么听不懂老外的发音——原来英语有连读、弱读和缩读

连读　　什么是连读。 　　　　在连贯地说话或朗读时,在同一个意群中,如果相邻的两个词前者以辅音音素结尾,后者以元音音素开头,就要自然地将辅音和元音相拼,构成一个音节,这就是连读。连读时的音节一般不重读,只需顺其自然地一带而过,不可以加音,也不可以读得太重。如:notatall这个短语。连读时听起来就像是一个单词。注意:连读只发生在句子中的同一个意群中。在两个意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音和元音出现,也不可连读。如:Pleasetakealookatit.这个句子中takealookatit是同一个意群,那么take与a可连读,look与at可连读,at与it可连读。在Thereisabookinit.一句中book与in往往不连读,因为book与in分别在两个不同的意群中。连读的详细情况 　　　　1.在同一个意群中,相邻的两个词,前者以辅音音素结尾,后者以元音音素开头,往往要拼在一起连读。如:　　　　He is a student.　　　　That is a right answer.　　　　I’ll be back in half an hour.。　　　　　　2.在同一个意群中的两个单词,如果前面的单词以r或re结尾,后面的单词以元音音素开头,则r或re要发/r/音,并与其后的元音音素相拼。如:hereandthere连读时往往读作/。hiErEnd`TZE/。apairofshoes连读时读作/E`pZErEv`FU:z/.　　音的组合任何一个单词都是由音素的不同组合而成。英语中，同一音节中两个或两个以上相邻的辅音结合在一起，这种结构叫做辅音群。两个、三个辅音的连缀，在英语中是普遍的。像sixths/siksz/这样四个辅音的连缀却比较少。英语单词里，辅音连缀所出现的位置有一定规律，通常只出现在词首或词尾。值得特别注意的是，辅音群中，辅音之间决不能夹有元音;以不发音的元音结尾的词，朗读时，辅音后面也不能附加元音。　　　　请注意以下几个方面:　　　　辅音群中的辅音之间不能加上中元音//。这是初学者常出现的错误，如:blue/blu:/读成/blu:/;flood/fld/读成/fld/。这种错误在三个辅音组成的辅音群中更常见。又如:screen/skri:n/读成了/skri:n/。汉语中，声母/p/、/b/、/m/之后都加有元音。学英语时，这种中国式的语音习惯只有通过大量的练习来改变。练习英语发音时，我们可以将第一个辅音遮住，先读/kri:n/，再加/s/，读/skri:n/。　　　　在辅音 /r/的辅音群中，像/br/，/r/，/r/，初学者常把卷舌音/r/念成舌边音/l/。如:three/ri:/念成/lui:/。其原因是两个音在连接时舌尖没有及时地离开齿龈，作卷舌的动作。　　　　/s/ 3对爆破音，朗读/sp/、/sk/、/st/时，清辅音/p/、/k/、/t/不能念成送气音，而要将它们略微浊化，向/b/、//、/d/*近。而且朗读位于它们之前的/s/时，送气也不能太强。　　　　在以/l/ 另外一个辅音的辅音群中，有的学生不会读浊音的/l～/，而用//来替代。如:film/film/读成/fim/，world/w:ld/读成/w:d/。其原因是舌尖没有抵住上齿龈，舌后部未用力。还有一种是将舌尖卷曲发成浊音的/l～/。这也是不正确的。　　　　在一个辅音 /l/的辅音群中，有些同学往往在辅音与/l/之间加上一个中元音//。如apple/pl/读成/pl/。其原因是舌身在发音活动中移动太慢，舌尖没有及时移到上齿龈浊音的/l～/的位置。　　　　在一个辅音 /n/的辅音群中，有些同学感到困难的是“鼻腔爆破”辅音群/tn/和/dn/。有些人常在/t/、/d/与/n/之间夹中元音//:cotton/ktn/读成/ktn/。这样读的结果是没有实现鼻腔爆破，因为/t/、/d/、是从口腔内与//同时发出的。为了避免这样的发音错误，在/t/与/n/或/d/与/n/连读时，舌尖不要离开齿龈，这样舌身便把气流挡在口腔内，迫使它从鼻腔与/n/一同发出。　　　　四.话语的节奏英语的话语如同音乐一样有一定的节奏。话语中的音乐像音乐的小节一样组成节奏群。每个节奏通常都会含有轻读音节与重读音节。在一个英语句子中，名词、动词、形容词和副词等实词常要强读，而介词、冠词、代词等虚词则一般弱读。英语的节奏规律是*重读音节与轻读音节的组合加重复来体现的。英语口语中的节奏基本体现在各个重读音节之间，其时距大体相同。英语是一种以重音计时的语言，各个重音与它跟随的若干轻读音节构成一个节奏群，有时一个节奏群是一个空拍开始的。节奏群用“/”来标识。我们用大致相同的时间来朗读每个节奏群。因此，为了真正取得节奏效果，碰到轻音少的节奏时，我们就可以念慢些，轻音较多的节奏群则必须念快一些。例如:daylight·/flashlight·.One/Two/Three/Four，/lets·/go/lets·/go.Peters·younger·sister·/leftthe·bagat·home.Thisis·the·/furnit·ure·.两个重音之间的轻读音节越多，我们在每个轻读音节上花的时间便越少。有时一个节奏群是以空拍开始，后面紧跟着几个轻音节，这样的节奏群常见句首或句子中需要停顿的地方。例如:He∧is·a·/student./Yes/Peter·，/he∧was·at·/home.　　　　五.弱读单词在句中可以强读，也可以弱读，主要取决于上下文所表达的意思。有些英语单词本身具有两种或两种以上不同发音。以单词some为例，该词在重读或单独出现时，其元音的发音与单词sum完全一样。但是，当some在句子中作为非重读单词时，其元音就显得短而模糊。弱读音节中最常见的音是中元音//。一个单词在强读或弱读具有不同发音时，这些不同的形式就叫词的强读式或弱读式。英语单词中有强读式和弱读式的单词大约有50多个，而且他们多出现在句子的非重读音节里。从词性上看，它们大多为单音节的限定词、助动词、动词be、介词、关联词和人称代词等。例如:some/sm/→/sm/→/sm/，have/hv/→/hv/→/v/;were/w:/→/w/，must/mst/→/mst，ms/→/mst，ms/;do/du:/→/d/→/du/→/d/，and/nd/→/nd，n/→/n/;of/v/→/v/→/v/，them/m/→/m/→/m/;we/wi:/→/wi/等。　　　　六.音的连读在英语的实际运用中，人们常将属于同一意群的词连在一起，一口气说出来。意群中词与词之间不留空隙，这种读法叫“连读”。　　　　英语有三种连读形式:　　　　辅音元音:单词末尾的辅音同下一个以元音开头的单词连读。例如:readi元音元音:前一个词的末尾元音和后一个词的起首元音连在一起读出，使它们中间不出现停顿。如:doit/du-it/，heatesome/hietsm/，轻轻地滑到下一个元音上。　　　　/r/ 元音:这一类连读分为词末连接音/r/和外加音/r/与元音的连读。a）单词末尾或音节末尾的r在英式英语中是不发音的。但是，在连贯话语里，如果这个单词后面紧跟着一个以元音开头的词，而且两个词在意义上密切相关且中间无停顿隔开时，就可能是原来不发音的字母r读为/r/，并同后一个单词的元音字首相连。例如:thereis/riz/，forever/f:rev/。b）为了避免让两个意义相关的比邻词的末首元音分立而读，我们通常在前一个词的结尾元音和后面单词的起首元音之间加上/r/音，这就是外加音/r/。如:ideaofit/aidirvit/，thesofaoverthere/sufruv-/。七.语调我们说话时可以随意改变音高，使音调上升或下降。我们还可以像歌唱家那样突然抬高话语的音调。音调的这种上扬或下降叫语调。英语有两种基本的语调:升调和降调。升降的过程可以是急促的，也可以是缓慢的，还可以形成不同的组合。说话人可以通过语调准确地表达各种信息。升调:升调多用来表示“不肯定”和“未完结”的意思，比如一般疑问句，语气婉转的祈使句，以及用陈述句子形式表示疑问的各类句子。如:a）ShallItellhimtocomeandsee.you?b）You.like.him?c）.Whathaveyougotthere?d）.Rightyou.are.e）Shebought.red，.yellow，and.greenrugs.降调:降调表示“肯定”和“完结”。一般用于陈述句、特殊疑问句、命令句和感叹句中。例如:a）Swimmingismyfavourite∈sport.b）Whatdidyoufind∈there?c）Tellmeallabout∈it.d）Haveyougotthe∈tickets?e）How∈nice!英语中除了升调、降调这两种最基本的语调外，还有降—升调、升—降调、升—降—升调、平调等。我们掌握了基本的降升调后，可以查阅参考书，再增加这方面的知识　　　　连读的条件：相邻的两词在意义上必须密切相关，同属一个意群。连读所构成的音节一般都不重读，只需顺其自然地一带而过，不可读得太重，也不可音。　　　　“辅音 元音”型连读　　在同一个意群里，如果相邻两词中的前一个词是以辅音结尾，后一个词是以元音开头，这就要将辅音与元音拼起来连读。　　　　I’m~an~English boy.　　It~is~an~old book.　　Let me have~a look~at~it.　　Ms Black worked in~an~office last~yesterday.　　I called~you half~an~hour~ago.　　Put~it~on, please.　　Not~at~all.　　Please pick~it~up.　　“r/re 元音”型连读　　如果前一个词是以-r或者-re结尾，后一个词是以元音开头，这时的r或re不但要发/r/，而且还要与后面的元音拼起来连读。　　They’re my father~and mother.　　I looked for~it here~and there.　　There~is a football under~it.　　There~are some books on the desk.　　Here~is a letter for you.　　Here~are four~eggs.　　But where~is my cup?　　Where~are your brother~and sister?　　但是，如果一个音节的前后都有字母r，即使后面的词以元音开头，也不能连读。　　The black clouds are coming nearer and nearer.　　“辅音 半元音”型连读　　英语语音中的/j/和/w/是半元音，如果前一个词是以辅音结尾，后一个词是以半元音，特别是/j/开头，此时也要连读。　　Thank~you.　　Nice to meet~you.　　Did~you get there late~again?　　Would~you like~a cup~of tea？　　Could~you help me, please?　　“音的同化”　　—常把/d/ /j/读成/dV/，did you听上成了/dIdVu/，would you成了/wudVu/，could you成了/kudVu/。　　“元音 元音”型连读如果前一个词以元音结尾，后一个词以元音开头，这两个音往往也要自然而不间断地连读到一起。　　I~am Chinese.　　He~is very friendly to me.　　　　She wants to study~English.　　How~and why did you come here?　　She can’t carry~it.　　It’ll take you three~hours to walk there.　　The question is too~easy for him to answer.　　当短语或从句之间按意群进行停顿时，意群与意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音与元音出现，也不可连读。　　Is~it a~hat or a cat?　　There~is~a good book in my desk. 　　Can you speak~English or French? 　　Shall we meet at~eight or ten tomorrow morning? 　　She opened the door and walked~in. 　　　　　　失去爆破6个爆破音有3对/p/，/b/，/t/，/d/，/k/，/g/　　失去爆破，又叫不完全爆破，就是在某些情况下，只须做出发音的准备，但并不发音，稍稍停顿后就发后面的音。　　“爆破音

[b"k"z?iv]pick up on the American intonation… [pi·k? pan the ?mer"k? nin?t?nash?n]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. [Goaway]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. [Ialso need theeother 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 [goanywhere]so honest [sohonest]through our [throughour]you are [youare]he is [heis]do I?

Sko!英语发音规则一、 连读 连读有两种规则，分别为： 1、 以辅音结尾的单词 元音开头的单词：要连读 如：I’d linother bowf rice. 这里like / laik / 以辅音结尾，another 以元音开头，所以连读 注意： 以辅音结尾 指的是音标中的最后一个音是辅音，而不是单词的结尾，这如同u[ju:.]niversity前面的定冠词必须用a 一样。 2、以辅音结尾的单词 h开头的单词h不发音，与前面的辅音 what wil [wili]do? Ha done it before? Mus [ti] go? Can he do it? Should he….? Tell him to ask her…. Lea [vim]. For him 我第一次知道这一连读规则时，兴奋不已，很容易的听懂了许多以前觉得很难以理解的句子， 并且按照这种连读方式发音省力、轻松了许多。再次证实”Economy”。二、 音的同化 音的同化也是一种连读的现象，两个词之间非常平滑的过渡，导致一个音受临音影响而变化。主要是以下三种方式： 1、 辅音[d]与[j]相邻时，被同化为[dэ]：Would you....? 2、 辅音[t]与[j]相邻时，被同化为[t∫]： Can’t you:。。。。？ 3、 辅音[s]与[j]相邻时, 被同化为[∫]： Miss you 三、 失音 由于失去爆破是失音的一种现象，摩擦音也会被失去，所以统称为失音。 注意： 爆破音并不是完全失去，仍然形成阻碍，把气流堵在里面，但不爆破，直接发出相邻的辅音。 规则： 1、 辅音爆破音或摩擦音后面跟的是爆破音、破擦音和摩擦等，前面的辅音要失去爆破。 这样的例子有很多很多， 红色标注的辅音不发音： Sit down: 发音再次的老师都不会发出 [t] 音 Contact lens: Big cake Dad told me Huge change Good night 四、 浊化 1、[S] 后面的清辅音要浊化 Discussion： [k] 浊化成 [g] Stand： [t] 浊化成[d] Expression： [p]浊化成 2、美音中：[t] 在单词的中间被浊化成[d] 如： writer， 听起来和 rider 的发音几乎没有区别 letter—ladder out of 美国人和加拿大人发音为了省事，习惯清音浊化，尤其是[t]在单词的中间一定会浊化成[d]， 但英国人发音不会这样，这也是英音和美音的一大区别。 了解这一浊化原则，会给听力带来一些帮助。 五、 弱读 一般来说： 实词重读，如动词、名词、副词等； 虚词弱读，如介词、代词等 弱读的规则一般是：元音音节弱化成 [E] 或 比如说如下几个单词：for/to/some/does/of 查字典会发现这些词都至少有两种读音，如for: 重读时[fR:] , 弱读时 [fE] 六、 节奏 对于英语的节奏，我也把握不好，而且还为此郁闷不已。在我认为，中国人说普通化，一个句子的标准节奏和语调往往只有一个，我想英语也应该是这样，但是怎么样才是标准语调呢？特意为这个问题问过英语老师，不同的外国人说同一个陈述句会有不同得语调吗？她告诉我是的。不过在看了下面这段话之后，我想她可能误我了。:老外教你“杀手锏”：注意说话的节奏 十年寒窗苦读英语，为谁辛苦为谁忙？当然是用来和老外“侃”喽。那外国人究竟如何看待中国人说的英语，他们说话有没有诀窍呢？记者请教了克里斯多佛·汉普顿---英国驻上海总领事馆的考官协调，他也是当天演讲比赛的裁判之一。 克里斯多佛一开口就指出了国人学英语最大的“软档” “中国人喜欢在单词的读音上纠缠不休。尤其是年轻人，总希望自己能说一口标准的美式英语，最好是带点纽约口音的美式英语。于是，他们很努力地听广播、看电视，刻意模仿美国人的说话腔调。 经过长时间的磨练，有些人的发音甚至比土生土长的美国人还地道。但是，我就算蒙着眼睛，也能轻易分辨出说话的是中国人，还是美国人。因为中国人说英语没有节奏。” 克里斯多佛所说的节奏并不仅指说话的速度快慢，还包含了许多平时不被重视的小环节，比如语调的升降、词语的重音、句子在何处停顿。中学的中文语文书中倒是有过断句练习，可几乎所有的英语教科书里都没有类似的章节，也鲜有老师会教学生这一套。所以，大多人不知道，英语句子也有自己拆分的规则。发言者要么按照中文的思维习惯，随心所欲把句子“大卸八块”；要么练习肺活量，一句话从头连到尾不喘气。于是，中国人听起来清清楚楚的句子，到外国人耳朵里就变成了“不知所云”。 要改变这个习惯也不难。克里斯多佛认为，只要连续练习几个月，一个英语水平普通的人也能说出漂亮的英语，甚至达到“以假乱真”的程度，和讲母语不分上下。 他的练习方法很简单---找一盒老外读的标准磁带，在录音机里不停顿地播放。然后你看着文字稿，亦步亦趋地跟着他的节奏读。这时候，充分调动你的耳朵，适应外国人的语音语调，还要像个回声筒似地反映出来。久而久之，当你习惯了老外的节奏，只要具备5000个基本单词，就能应付一般的对话啊，终于写完啦！喝口水，开始写结束语。我在最初练发音的时候，不知道这些规则，只是喜欢模仿，养成了不少坏习惯，老师总说我喜欢吞音，苦恼极了，以至于我发音开始小心翼翼，字字清楚，但我知道这样肯定是不对的。所以我便开始收集和总结这方面的规则，不但之前的困惑得到解决，发音也有了很大的改善，现在写下这篇音变规则，真心希望它能对你有所帮助！另外如果有错误之处，请不吝赐教！清辅音浊化——之详细介绍 一、简单认识 按照英语读音的习惯，在s音后面的清辅音会读成相应的浊辅音。这就是清辅音浊化。 例如： spy /spai/ 轻辅音浊化就应该是/sbai/ spoon/spu:n /轻辅音浊化就应该是/sbu:n/ star /sta:/ 轻辅音浊化就应该是 /sda:/ 清辅音在/s/后浊化 如stick 中t读作/d/ 辅音浊化也并非完全的发浊音，它是界于清音和浊音之间那儿！发音并不如浊音那么强烈！ 二、理性分析 关于辅音连缀/s/音后头情爆破音所谓"浊化" 这个问题的语音细节挺复杂,三言两语不易讲透。这里仅凭经验试图粗线条式地说几条，希望对说中国话的人学英语有点帮助。1） 众所周知,同一音节中,紧接在/s/音后头的/p,t,k/和作为音节开头的/p,t,k/语音特点是不同的。国内英语教学界历来普遍把这种语音变化称作“浊化”。我认为这种说法从语音学角度不够准确，至少是以偏概全；从英语教学角度更是容易产生误导效果。 2） 所谓“浊”，无非是与“清”相对。英语/p,t,k/是清爆破辅音，与浊爆破辅音/b，d，g/相对。汉族学生，除了少数方言人士之外，一般都需要花一定的功夫才能正确掌握英语/b，d，g/的发音，学会把“浊”音“浊”够。若不强调模仿这一点，不作特别的“浊化”训练，自然模仿力不强的大部分学生就肯定会用汉语的[b，d，g]来代替英语的/p,t,k/，结果说出来的英语虽然在很多情况下都还不至于叫人误解，但语音效果肯定很差，一句话：不像英语！为什么呢？因为汉语[b，d，g]和[p，t，k]的区别可以说纯粹是送气与不送气的区别。可英语呢？/p,t,k/是强清爆破辅音，在一般情况下发音都伴随较强的送气过程。而 /b，d，g/则示弱浊爆破音，除了一般不送气之外，多半还有喉头声带震动，即所谓浊化。最后这一点，恰恰是汉语所没有的。例如很多人把 a guy 发成十足的“厄盖”，甚至还以为两者发音本来就是一样的，这就是因为他们“浊”不了那个该浊的 g。反过来，经过努力好不容易把英语的 /b，d，g/ “浊”够了，发正确了，一听说/p,t,k/在/s/后面要“浊化”，很多人竟会把 sky / spade / start 发成 sgy / sbade/ sdart，那就矫枉过正反成谬误了。其实，/s/后面/p,t,k/的主要语音变化，不是“浊化”，而是失去了原来很强的送气特点罢了，其效果，就成了和汉语 不送气的 [b，d，g]紧贴在/s/后头一样。 3） 是否在音节重读的时候才会出现这种“送气变成不送气”的现象呢？不是的。可以说，哪怕是最强的重读音节里，如 spin中, /p/音都成了不送气的。在非重读音节里，就更不消说了。 4） 从英语语音学角度分析，这些音质变化也可能可以归入“浊化”范围，但这对我们一般学英语的人来说是没有多少实际意义的，因此不属于本帖讨论范围。 5） 有兴趣的朋友可参考一些权威语音学著作，例如英国Daniel Jones 和A.C. Gimson 的著作等。三、问答中解释 问：coast中的"t"是否被前面的"s"所浊化为"d"。 答：不是。 　　1、清辅音浊化只是一种发音现象，不是规则，地道英语教学者都反对专门制定一个规则来说明这个问题。 　　2、总的发音规则只有一条：按照字典里的注音读，要怎么变化就按地道英语的习惯。 　　3、s 后面的清辅音被浊化，只是清辅音浊化的一小部分，很多时候不用加 s 也可能被浊化。 如water, happy, meeting, walking等等，地道英语一般将这些单词中间那个清辅音发成对应的浊辅音了，才象英语。 　　4、S后面的清辅音浊化现象可以这样归纳：清辅音跟着一个元音，前面又有一个 s ，无论是在单词的最前面还是中间，只要是在重读音节或次重读音节里，一般都读成对应浊辅音，如stand, strike, speak, sky 等等，值得一提的是strike不是不用变，而是它“tr”本来所发的音已是浊辅音，但也要变成“dr”所发的那个音 。 　　其实谁也没有规定要这样读，如果你拿着这个问题问老外，他们大多都答不出来，只是这些相关的单词中的清辅音读着读着自然就会变成浊辅音了。 　　这种组合如果后面没有元音，就不存在浊化的问题。如grasp，test，desk等，仍发清辅音。 　　也有例外的，不要说它不符合规则，因为本来就没有规则，硬要定规则的话就行不通。比如student，stupid，如果按那个所谓规则去读成 [sd…]，就不好听了，操地道英语的人就会知道问“你是从中国来的吧”。这里的字母“t”一般被习惯发成jeep中 “j”所发的那个音才地道。 四、辅音浊化的规则 在探讨美国英语与英国英语在语音上的差异时，我们通常是将“美国普通话”与公认的标准英语发音进行比较。二者在读音上的差异主要表现在： 1. 在/s/ /F/ /f/ /m/ /n/等辅音之前的字母a，美国英语一般读作/A/ 音，而英国音则发作/B:/。如：美国人将pass ，chance分别读作/pAs/, /tFAns/。 2. 在英国标准音中，字母r在元音前才发音，如real ，而在辅音前或词尾时是不发音的。但在美语中，r在辅音前发明显的卷舌音，在词尾时亦发音，如：farm /fa:rm/ ,car /ka:r/。 3. 使用相同的音标，但发音情况不同,例如：当清辅音[ t ]夹在两个元音之间，前一个是重读元音，后一个是轻读元音时，如writer，美国人习惯将清辅音浊化，所以writer 和rider 发音几乎相同。 类似的例子还有latter与ladder ；petal 与pedal 。 4. 非重读字母e, 在美语中常读作[e], 而在英国英语中则读。如:美国人将except 读作/eksept/，英国人则读作/iksept/。 5. 词尾—ile 在美语中读作/il/ 或 /i:l/,而英国人将这一词尾读作/ail/。如：hostile /hRstil/; /hRstail/。6. 美国人说话往往把非重读音节中的元音都读出来,如history /5histEri/, extraordinary /eks5trR:dinEri/。英国人说话则习惯省略其中的音节，读作/5histri/,/iks5trR:dinEri/,在省略后读作/ikstro:dnri/.过去式的发音单复数的发音规则一.过去式的发音规则及变化规则 规则动词词尾加-ed有三种读音： 1. 在清辅音后读作[t]。如：asked, helped, watched, stopped 2. 在浊辅音和元音后读作[d]。如：enjoyed, studied, moved, called 3. 在t / d后读作[id]。如：wanted, needed 补充说明：规则动词的过去式由“动词原形 -ed”构成，具体变化有： 1. 直接在词尾加-ed。如: want—wanted, work—worked, need—needed, clean—cleaned 2. 以不发音的e结尾的在词尾加-d。如：like—liked, live—lived, use—used, move—moved 3. 以一个元音字母加一个辅音字母结尾的重读闭音节动词，先双写结尾的辅音字母，再加-ed。如：stop—stopped, trip—tripped 4. 以辅音字母加y结尾的动词，先把y变成i，再加-ed。如：study—studied, carry—carried,

　　　　在连贯地说话或朗读时,在同一个意群中,如果相邻的两个词前者以辅音音素结尾,后者以元音音素开头,就要自然地将辅音和元音相拼,构成一个音节,这就是连读。连读时的音节一般不重读,只需顺其自然地一带而过,不可以加音,也不可以读得太重。如:notatall这个短语。连读时听起来就像是一个单词。注意:连读只发生在句子中的同一个意群中。在两个意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音和元音出现,也不可连读。如:Pleasetakealookatit.这个句子中takealookatit是同一个意群,那么take与a可连读,look与at可连读,at与it可连读。在Thereisabookinit.一句中book与in往往不连读,因为book与in分别在两个不同的意群中。连读的详细情况 　　　　1.在同一个意群中,相邻的两个词,前者以辅音音素结尾,后者以元音音素开头,往往要拼在一起连读。如:　　　　He is a student.　　　　That is a right answer.　　　　I’ll be back in half an hour.。　　　　　　2.在同一个意群中的两个单词,如果前面的单词以r或re结尾,后面的单词以元音音素开头,则r或re要发/r/音,并与其后的元音音素相拼。如:hereandthere连读时往往读作/。hiErEnd`TZE/。apairofshoes连读时读作/E`pZErEv`FU:z/.　　音的组合任何一个单词都是由音素的不同组合而成。英语中，同一音节中两个或两个以上相邻的辅音结合在一起，这种结构叫做辅音群。两个、三个辅音的连缀，在英语中是普遍的。像sixths/siksz/这样四个辅音的连缀却比较少。英语单词里，辅音连缀所出现的位置有一定规律，通常只出现在词首或词尾。值得特别注意的是，辅音群中，辅音之间决不能夹有元音;以不发音的元音结尾的词，朗读时，辅音后面也不能附加元音。　　　　请注意以下几个方面:　　　　辅音群中的辅音之间不能加上中元音//。这是初学者常出现的错误，如:blue/blu:/读成/blu:/;flood/fld/读成/fld/。这种错误在三个辅音组成的辅音群中更常见。又如:screen/skri:n/读成了/skri:n/。汉语中，声母/p/、/b/、/m/之后都加有元音。学英语时，这种中国式的语音习惯只有通过大量的练习来改变。练习英语发音时，我们可以将第一个辅音遮住，先读/kri:n/，再加/s/，读/skri:n/。　　　　在辅音 /r/的辅音群中，像/br/，/r/，/r/，初学者常把卷舌音/r/念成舌边音/l/。如:three/ri:/念成/lui:/。其原因是两个音在连接时舌尖没有及时地离开齿龈，作卷舌的动作。　　　　/s/ 3对爆破音，朗读/sp/、/sk/、/st/时，清辅音/p/、/k/、/t/不能念成送气音，而要将它们略微浊化，向/b/、//、/d/*近。而且朗读位于它们之前的/s/时，送气也不能太强。　　　　在以/l/ 另外一个辅音的辅音群中，有的学生不会读浊音的/l～/，而用//来替代。如:film/film/读成/fim/，world/w:ld/读成/w:d/。其原因是舌尖没有抵住上齿龈，舌后部未用力。还有一种是将舌尖卷曲发成浊音的/l～/。这也是不正确的。　　　　在一个辅音 /l/的辅音群中，有些同学往往在辅音与/l/之间加上一个中元音//。如apple/pl/读成/pl/。其原因是舌身在发音活动中移动太慢，舌尖没有及时移到上齿龈浊音的/l～/的位置。　　　　在一个辅音 /n/的辅音群中，有些同学感到困难的是“鼻腔爆破”辅音群/tn/和/dn/。有些人常在/t/、/d/与/n/之间夹中元音//:cotton/ktn/读成/ktn/。这样读的结果是没有实现鼻腔爆破，因为/t/、/d/、是从口腔内与//同时发出的。为了避免这样的发音错误，在/t/与/n/或/d/与/n/连读时，舌尖不要离开齿龈，这样舌身便把气流挡在口腔内，迫使它从鼻腔与/n/一同发出。　　　　四.话语的节奏英语的话语如同音乐一样有一定的节奏。话语中的音乐像音乐的小节一样组成节奏群。每个节奏通常都会含有轻读音节与重读音节。在一个英语句子中，名词、动词、形容词和副词等实词常要强读，而介词、冠词、代词等虚词则一般弱读。英语的节奏规律是*重读音节与轻读音节的组合加重复来体现的。英语口语中的节奏基本体现在各个重读音节之间，其时距大体相同。英语是一种以重音计时的语言，各个重音与它跟随的若干轻读音节构成一个节奏群，有时一个节奏群是一个空拍开始的。节奏群用“/”来标识。我们用大致相同的时间来朗读每个节奏群。因此，为了真正取得节奏效果，碰到轻音少的节奏时，我们就可以念慢些，轻音较多的节奏群则必须念快一些。例如:daylight·/flashlight·.One/Two/Three/Four，/lets·/go/lets·/go.Peters·younger·sister·/leftthe·bagat·home.Thisis·the·/furnit·ure·.两个重音之间的轻读音节越多，我们在每个轻读音节上花的时间便越少。有时一个节奏群是以空拍开始，后面紧跟着几个轻音节，这样的节奏群常见句首或句子中需要停顿的地方。例如:He∧is·a·/student./Yes/Peter·，/he∧was·at·/home.　　　　五.弱读单词在句中可以强读，也可以弱读，主要取决于上下文所表达的意思。有些英语单词本身具有两种或两种以上不同发音。以单词some为例，该词在重读或单独出现时，其元音的发音与单词sum完全一样。但是，当some在句子中作为非重读单词时，其元音就显得短而模糊。弱读音节中最常见的音是中元音//。一个单词在强读或弱读具有不同发音时，这些不同的形式就叫词的强读式或弱读式。英语单词中有强读式和弱读式的单词大约有50多个，而且他们多出现在句子的非重读音节里。从词性上看，它们大多为单音节的限定词、助动词、动词be、介词、关联词和人称代词等。例如:some/sm/→/sm/→/sm/，have/hv/→/hv/→/v/;were/w:/→/w/，must/mst/→/mst，ms/→/mst，ms/;do/du:/→/d/→/du/→/d/，and/nd/→/nd，n/→/n/;of/v/→/v/→/v/，them/m/→/m/→/m/;we/wi:/→/wi/等。　　　　六.音的连读在英语的实际运用中，人们常将属于同一意群的词连在一起，一口气说出来。意群中词与词之间不留空隙，这种读法叫“连读”。　　　　英语有三种连读形式:　　　　辅音元音:单词末尾的辅音同下一个以元音开头的单词连读。例如:readi元音元音:前一个词的末尾元音和后一个词的起首元音连在一起读出，使它们中间不出现停顿。如:doit/du-it/，heatesome/hietsm/，轻轻地滑到下一个元音上。　　　　/r/ 元音:这一类连读分为词末连接音/r/和外加音/r/与元音的连读。a）单词末尾或音节末尾的r在英式英语中是不发音的。但是，在连贯话语里，如果这个单词后面紧跟着一个以元音开头的词，而且两个词在意义上密切相关且中间无停顿隔开时，就可能是原来不发音的字母r读为/r/，并同后一个单词的元音字首相连。例如:thereis/riz/，forever/f:rev/。b）为了避免让两个意义相关的比邻词的末首元音分立而读，我们通常在前一个词的结尾元音和后面单词的起首元音之间加上/r/音，这就是外加音/r/。如:ideaofit/aidirvit/，thesofaoverthere/sufruv-/。七.语调我们说话时可以随意改变音高，使音调上升或下降。我们还可以像歌唱家那样突然抬高话语的音调。音调的这种上扬或下降叫语调。英语有两种基本的语调:升调和降调。升降的过程可以是急促的，也可以是缓慢的，还可以形成不同的组合。说话人可以通过语调准确地表达各种信息。升调:升调多用来表示“不肯定”和“未完结”的意思，比如一般疑问句，语气婉转的祈使句，以及用陈述句子形式表示疑问的各类句子。如:a）ShallItellhimtocomeandsee.you?b）You.like.him?c）.Whathaveyougotthere?d）.Rightyou.are.e）Shebought.red，.yellow，and.greenrugs.降调:降调表示“肯定”和“完结”。一般用于陈述句、特殊疑问句、命令句和感叹句中。例如:a）Swimmingismyfavourite∈sport.b）Whatdidyoufind∈there?c）Tellmeallabout∈it.d）Haveyougotthe∈tickets?e）How∈nice!英语中除了升调、降调这两种最基本的语调外，还有降—升调、升—降调、升—降—升调、平调等。我们掌握了基本的降升调后，可以查阅参考书，再增加这方面的知识　　　　连读的条件：相邻的两词在意义上必须密切相关，同属一个意群。连读所构成的音节一般都不重读，只需顺其自然地一带而过，不可读得太重，也不可音。　　　　“辅音 元音”型连读　　在同一个意群里，如果相邻两词中的前一个词是以辅音结尾，后一个词是以元音开头，这就要将辅音与元音拼起来连读。　　　　I’m~an~English boy.　　It~is~an~old book.　　Let me have~a look~at~it.　　Ms Black worked in~an~office last~yesterday.　　I called~you half~an~hour~ago.　　Put~it~on, please.　　Not~at~all.　　Please pick~it~up.　　“r/re 元音”型连读　　如果前一个词是以-r或者-re结尾，后一个词是以元音开头，这时的r或re不但要发/r/，而且还要与后面的元音拼起来连读。　　They’re my father~and mother.　　I looked for~it

sister?　　但是，如果一个音节的前后都有字母r，即使后面的词以元音开头，也不能连读。　　The black clouds are coming nearer and nearer.　　“辅音 半元音”型连读　　英语语音中的/j/和/w/是半元音，如果前一个词是以辅音结尾，后一个词是以半元音，特别是/j/开头，此时也要连读。　　Thank~you.　　Nice to meet~you.　　Did~you get there late~again?　　Would~you like~a cup~of tea？　　Could~you help me, please?　　“音的同化”　　—常把/d/ /j/读成/dV/，did you听上成了/dIdVu/，would you成了/wudVu/，could you成了/kudVu/。　　“元音 元音”型连读如果前一个词以元音结尾，后一个词以元音开头，这两个音往往也要自然而不间断地连读到一起。　　I~am Chinese.　　He~is very friendly to me.　　　　She wants to study~English.　　How~and why did you come here?　　She can’t carry~it.　　It’ll take you three~hours to walk there.　　The question is too~easy for him to answer.　　当短语或从句之间按意群进行停顿时，意群与意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音与元音出现，也不可连读。　　Is~it a~hat or a cat?　　There~is~a good book in my desk. 　　Can you speak~English or French? 　　Shall we meet at~eight or ten tomorrow morning? 　　She opened the door and walked~in. 　　　　　　失去爆破6个爆破音有3对/p/，/b/，/t/，/d/，/k/，/g/　　失去爆破，又叫不完全爆破，就是在某些情况下，只须做出发音的准备，但并不发音，稍稍停顿后就发后面的音。　　“爆破音

[b"k"z?iv]pick up on the American intonation… [pi·k? pan the ?mer"k? nin?t?nash?n]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. [Goaway]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. [Ialso need theeother 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 [goanywhere]so honest [sohonest]through our [throughour]you are [youare]he is [heis]do I? [doI?]I asked [Iasked]to open [toopen]she always [shealways]too often [toooften]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，那么有如下的连读规则可以使用。4.1. T Y = CHWhat’s your name?

Ha done it before? Mus [ti] go? Can he do it? Should he….? Tell him to ask her…. Lea [vim]. For him 我第一次知道这一连读规则时，兴奋不已，很容易的听懂了许多以前觉得很难以理解的句子， 并且按照这种连读方式发音省力、轻松了许多。再次证实”Economy”。二、 音的同化 音的同化也是一种连读的现象，两个词之间非常平滑的过渡，导致一个音受临音影响而变化。主要是以下三种方式： 1、 辅音[d]与[j]相邻时，被同化为[dэ]：Would you....? 2、 辅音[t]与[j]相邻时，被同化为[t∫]： Can’t you:。。。。？ 3、 辅音[s]与[j]相邻时, 被同化为[∫]： Miss you 三、 失音 由于失去爆破是失音的一种现象，摩擦音也会被失去，所以统称为失音。 注意： 爆破音并不是完全失去，仍然形成阻碍，把气流堵在里面，但不爆破，直接发出相邻的辅音。 规则： 1、 辅音爆破音或摩擦音后面跟的是爆破音、破擦音和摩擦等，前面的辅音要失去爆破。 这样的例子有很多很多， 红色标注的辅音不发音： Sit down: 发音再次的老师都不会发出 [t] 音 Contact lens: Big cake Dad told me Huge change Good night 四、 浊化 1、[S] 后面的清辅音要浊化 Discussion： [k] 浊化成 [g] Stand： [t] 浊化成[d] Expression： [p]浊化成 2、美音中：[t] 在单词的中间被浊化成[d] 如： writer， 听起来和 rider 的发音几乎没有区别 letter—ladder out of 美国人和加拿大人发音为了省事，习惯清音浊化，尤其是[t]在单词的中间一定会浊化成[d]， 但英国人发音不会这样，这也是英音和美音的一大区别。 了解这一浊化原则，会给听力带来一些帮助。 五、 弱读 一般来说： 实词重读，如动词、名词、副词等； 虚词弱读，如介词、代词等 弱读的规则一般是：元音音节弱化成 [E] 或 比如说如下几个单词：for/to/some/does/of 查字典会发现这些词都至少有两种读音，如for: 重读时[fR:] , 弱读时 [fE] 六、 节奏 对于英语的节奏，我也把握不好，而且还为此郁闷不已。在我认为，中国人说普通化，一个句子的标准节奏和语调往往只有一个，我想英语也应该是这样，但是怎么样才是标准语调呢？特意为这个问题问过英语老师，不同的外国人说同一个陈述句会有不同得语调吗？她告诉我是的。不过在看了下面这段话之后，我想她可能误我了。:老外教你“杀手锏”：注意说话的节奏 十年寒窗苦读英语，为谁辛苦为谁忙？当然是用来和老外“侃”喽。那外国人究竟如何看待中国人说的英语，他们说话有没有诀窍呢？记者请教了克里斯多佛·汉普顿---英国驻上海总领事馆的考官协调，他也是当天演讲比赛的裁判之一。 克里斯多佛一开口就指出了国人学英语最大的“软档” “中国人喜欢在单词的读音上纠缠不休。尤其是年轻人，总希望自己能说一口标准的美式英语，最好是带点纽约口音的美式英语。于是，他们很努力地听广播、看电视，刻意模仿美国人的说话腔调。 经过长时间的磨练，有些人的发音甚至比土生土长的美国人还地道。但是，我就算蒙着眼睛，也能轻易分辨出说话的是中国人，还是美国人。因为中国人说英语没有节奏。” 克里斯多佛所说的节奏并不仅指说话的速度快慢，还包含了许多平时不被重视的小环节，比如语调的升降、词语的重音、句子在何处停顿。中学的中文语文书中倒是有过断句练习，可几乎所有的英语教科书里都没有类似的章节，也鲜有老师会教学生这一套。所以，大多人不知道，英语句子也有自己拆分的规则。发言者要么按照中文的思维习惯，随心所欲把句子“大卸八块”；要么练习肺活量，一句话从头连到尾不喘气。于是，中国人听起来清清楚楚的句子，到外国人耳朵里就变成了“不知所云”。 要改变这个习惯也不难。克里斯多佛认为，只要连续练习几个月，一个英语水平普通的人也能说出漂亮的英语，甚至达到“以假乱真”的程度，和讲母语不分上下。 他的练习方法很简单---找一盒老外读的标准磁带，在录音机里不停顿地播放。然后你看着文字稿，亦步亦趋地跟着他的节奏读。这时候，充分调动你的耳朵，适应外国人的语音语调，还要像个回声筒似地反映出来。久而久之，当你习惯了老外的节奏，只要具备5000个基本单词，就能应付一般的对话啊，终于写完啦！喝口水，开始写结束语。我在最初练发音的时候，不知道这些规则，只是喜欢模仿，养成了不少坏习惯，老师总说我喜欢吞音，苦恼极了，以至于我发音开始小心翼翼，字字清楚，但我知道这样肯定是不对的。所以我便开始收集和总结这方面的规则，不但之前的困惑得到解决，发音也有了很大的改善，现在写下这篇音变规则，真心希望它能对你有所帮助！另外如果有错误之处，请不吝赐教！清辅音浊化——之详细介绍 一、简单认识 按照英语读音的习惯，在s音后面的清辅音会读成相应的浊辅音。这就是清辅音浊化。 例如： spy /spai/ 轻辅音浊化就应该是/sbai/ spoon/spu:n /轻辅音浊化就应该是/sbu:n/ star /sta:/ 轻辅音浊化就应该是 /sda:/ 清辅音在/s/后浊化 如stick 中t读作/d/ 辅音浊化也并非完全的发浊音，它是界于清音和浊音之间那儿！发音并不如浊音那么强烈！ 二、理性分析 关于辅音连缀/s/音后头情爆破音所谓"浊化" 这个问题的语音细节挺复杂,三言两语不易讲透。这里仅凭经验试图粗线条式地说几条，希望对说中国话的人学英语有点帮助。1） 众所周知,同一音节中,紧接在/s/音后头的/p,t,k/和作为音节开头的/p,t,k/语音特点是不同的。国内英语教学界历来普遍把这种语音变化称作“浊化”。我认为这种说法从语音学角度不够准确，至少是以偏概全；从英语教学角度更是容易产生误导效果。 2） 所谓“浊”，无非是与“清”相对。英语/p,t,k/是清爆破辅音，与浊爆破辅音/b，d，g/相对。汉族学生，除了少数方言人士之外，一般都需要花一定的功夫才能正确掌握英语/b，d，g/的发音，学会把“浊”音“浊”够。若不强调模仿这一点，不作特别的“浊化”训练，自然模仿力不强的大部分学生就肯定会用汉语的[b，d，g]来代替英语的/p,t,k/，结果说出来的英语虽然在很多情况下都还不至于叫人误解，但语音效果肯定很差，一句话：不像英语！为什么呢？因为汉语[b，d，g]和[p，t，k]的区别可以说纯粹是送气与不送气的区别。可英语呢？/p,t,k/是强清爆破辅音，在一般情况下发音都伴随较强的送气过程。而 /b，d，g/则示弱浊爆破音，除了一般不送气之外，多半还有喉头声带震动，即所谓浊化。最后这一点，恰恰是汉语所没有的。例如很多人把 a guy 发成十足的“厄盖”，甚至还以为两者发音本来就是一样的，这就是因为他们“浊”不了那个该浊的 g。反过来，经过努力好不容易把英语的 /b，d，g/ “浊”够了，发正确了，一听说/p,t,k/在/s/后面要“浊化”，很多人竟会把 sky / spade / start 发成 sgy / sbade/ sdart，那就矫枉过正反成谬误了。其实，/s/后面/p,t,k/的主要语音变化，不是“浊化”，而是失去了原来很强的送气特点罢了，其效果，就成了和汉语 不送气的 [b，d，g]紧贴在/s/后头一样。 3） 是否在音节重读的时候才会出现这种“送气变成不送气”的现象呢？不是的。可以说，哪怕是最强的重读音节里，如 spin中, /p/音都成了不送气的。在非重读音节里，就更不消说了。 4） 从英语语音学角度分析，这些音质变化也可能可以归入“浊化”范围，但这对我们一般学英语的人来说是没有多少实际意义的，因此不属于本帖讨论范围。 5） 有兴趣的朋友可参考一些权威语音学著作，例如英国Daniel Jones 和A.C. Gimson 的著作等。三、问答中解释 问：coast中的"t"是否被前面的"s"所浊化为"d"。 答：不是。 　　1、清辅音浊化只是一种发音现象，不是规则，地道英语教学者都反对专门制定一个规则来说明这个问题。 　　2、总的发音规则只有一条：按照字典里的注音读，要怎么变化就按地道英语的习惯。 　　3、s 后面的清辅音被浊化，只是清辅音浊化的一小部分，很多时候不用加 s 也可能被浊化。 如water, happy, meeting, walking等等，地道英语一般将这些单词中间那个清辅音发成对应的浊辅音了，才象英语。 　　4、S后面的清辅音浊化现象可以这样归纳：清辅音跟着一个元音，前面又有一个 s ，无论是在单词的最前面还是中间，只要是在重读音节或次重读音节里，一般都读成对应浊辅音，如stand, strike, speak, sky 等等，值得一提的是strike不是不用变，而是它“tr”本来所发的音已是浊辅音，但也要变成“dr”所发的那个音 。 　　其实谁也没有规定要这样读，如果你拿着这个问题问老外，他们大多都答不出来，只是这些相关的单词中的清辅音读着读着自然就会变成浊辅音了。 　　这种组合如果后面没有元音，就不存在浊化的问题。如grasp，test，desk等，仍发清辅音。 　　也有例外的，不要说它不符合规则，因为本来就没有规则，硬要定规则的话就行不通。比如student，stupid，如果按那个所谓规则去读成 [sd…]，就不好听了，操地道英语的人就会知道问“你是从中国来的吧”。这里的字母“t”一般被习惯发成jeep中 “j”所发的那个音才地道。 四、辅音浊化的规则 在探讨美国英语与英国英语在语音上的差异时，我们通常是将“美国普通话”与公认的标准英语发音进行比较。二者在读音上的差异主要表现在： 1. 在/s/ /F/ /f/ /m/ /n/等辅音之前的字母a，美国英语一般读作/A/ 音，而英国音则发作/B:/。如：美国人将pass ，chance分别读作/pAs/, /tFAns/。 2. 在英国标准音中，字母r在元音前才发音，如real ，而在辅音前或词尾时是不发音的。但在美语中，r在辅音前发明显的卷舌音，在词尾时亦发音，如：farm /fa:rm/ ,car /ka:r/。 3. 使用相同的音标，但发音情况不同,例如：当清辅音[ t ]夹在两个元音之间，前一个是重读元音，后一个是轻读元音时，如writer，美国人习惯将清辅音浊化，所以writer 和rider 发音几乎相同。 类似的例子还有latter与ladder ；petal 与pedal 。 4. 非重读字母e, 在美语中常读作[e], 而在英国英语中则读。如:美国人将except 读作/eksept/，英国人则读作/iksept/。 5. 词尾—ile 在美语中读作/il/ 或 /i:l/,而英国人将这一词尾读作/ail/。如：hostile /hRstil/; /hRstail/。6. 美国人说话往往把非重读音节中的元音都读出来,如history /5histEri/, extraordinary /eks5trR:dinEri/。英国人说话则习惯省略其中的音节，读作/5histri/,/iks5trR:dinEri/,在省略后读作/ikstro:dnri/.过去式的发音单复数的发音规则一.过去式的发音规则及变化规则 规则动词词尾加-ed有三种读音： 1. 在清辅音后读作[t]。如：asked, helped, watched, stopped 2. 在浊辅音和元音后读作[d]。如：enjoyed, studied, moved, called 3. 在t / d后读作[id]。如：wanted, needed 补充说明：规则动词的过去式由“动词原形 -ed”构成，具体变化有： 1. 直接在词尾加-ed。如: want—wanted, work—worked, need—needed, clean—cleaned 2. 以不发音的e结尾的在词尾加-d。如：like—liked, live—lived, use—used, move—moved 3. 以一个元音字母加一个辅音字母结尾的重读闭音节动词，先双写结尾的辅音字母，再加-ed。如：stop—stopped, trip—tripped 4. 以辅音字母加y结尾的动词，先把y变成i，再加-ed。如：study—studied, carry—carried, hurry—hurried, marry—married 不规则动词的过去式大体上归纳有以下六条记忆法： 1. 以t结尾的词，过去式与原形相同。如：put—put, let—let, cut—cut, beat—beat 2. 以d结尾的词，把d变成t。如:build—built, lend—lent, send—sent, spend—spent 3. 以n结尾的词，在词后加t。如：mean—meant, burn—burnt, learn—learnt 4. 以ow / aw结尾的词，把ow / aw变成ew。如：blow—blew, draw—drew, know—knew, grow—grew 5. 含有双写字母的词，将双写改为单写，在词尾加t。如：keep—kept, sleep—slept, feel—felt, smell—smelt 6. 含有元音字母o / i的词，将o / i变成a。如：sing—sang, give—gave, sit—sat, drink—drank2.单复数的发音规则：在清辅音后面读s，在浊辅音后面年z 判断清浊的方法可以记个口诀 有气无声清辅音, 有声无气浊辅音 情况 构成方法 读音 例词 一般情况 加 -s 1.清辅音后读/s/; map-maps 2.浊辅音和元音后读 /z/; bag-bags car-cars 以s,sh,ch,x 等结尾的词 加 -es 读 /iz/ bus-buses watch-watches 以ce,se,ze, ge等结尾的词 加 -s 读 /iz/ license-licenses 以辅音字母 y 变y 为i 结尾的词 再加es 读 /z/ baby---babies名词复数发音规则 以元音音素结尾的加了“s”后发/z/音如：windows doors computers centers以清辅音结尾的加了“S"后发/s/音 如： chicks maps cups 以字母t结尾的发/ts/音 如：mats cats aunts 以字母d结尾的发/dz/音 如： birds words hands 其他辅音音素结尾的都发/z/音。 特殊变化的词根据变化后结尾音变化同上如：butterfly-butterflies变化后结尾音/ai/为元音，所以发/z/音。------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A．“单数→复数”的规则变化名词词尾发音为[s, z, , , , ]时，加“-es”并发[-iz]音，形成一个音节，也就是本项名词为单音节时，加了“-es”便成为双音节的单词。class[kla:s]→classes[kla:siz]班级phrase[freiz]→phrases[freiziz]短语dish[di]→dishes[diiz]盘，碟garage[ "gærɑ: ]→garages["gærɑ:iz]车库watch[ w ]→watches[ w iz]手表bridge[bri]→bridges[ briiz]桥梁名词词尾发音为[p, t, k, f, θ]等清辅音时，加“-s”并发[-s]音。例如：cup[kp]→cups[kps]茶杯cat[kt]→cats[kts]猫book0[buk]→books[buks]书roof[ru:f]→roofs[ru:fs]屋顶month[mnθ]→months[mnθs]月注：“stomach”，“monarch”等的复数是词尾加“-s”而不是加“-es”，因为这些词的词尾“-ch”的发音是[-k]。名词词尾发音为前二项以外的情形时，亦即为[b, d, g, v, , m, n, , l]等浊辅音及元音时，加“-s”并发[-z]音。例如：herb[hb]→herbs[hbz]药草bed[bed]→beds[bedz]床dog[dg]→dogs[dgz]狗glove[glv]→gloves[glvz]手套scythe[sai]→scythes[saiz]大镰刀game[geim]→games[geimz]游戏can[kn]→cans[knz]罐，桶king[ki]→kings[kiz]国王girl[gl]→girls[glz]女孩 circlesstar[sta:]→stars[sta:z]星星bee[bi:]→bees[bi:z]蜜蜂igloo["iglu:]→igloos["iglu:z]圆顶冰屋law[l]→laws[lz]法律eye[ai]→eyes[aiz]眼睛day[dei]→days[deiz]日，白昼cow[kau]→cows[kauz]母牛blow[blou]→blows[blouz]殴打boy[bi]→boys[biz]男孩bear→bears熊 名词词尾为“-y”时： “-元音字母 y”时直接加“-s”并发[-z]音，例如： play[plei]→plays[pleiz]剧本 toy[ti]→toys[tiz]玩具 “-辅音字母 y”时，先把“-y”改为“-i”再加“-es”并发[-iz]音，例如： city[>siti]→cities[>sitiz]城市 lady[>leidi]→ladies[>leidiz]女士 名词词尾为“-o”时： “-元音字母 o”时，加“-s”并发[-z]音，例如： studio[>stju:diou]→studios[>stju:diouz]画室 zoo[zu:]→zoos[zu:z]动物园 “-辅音字母 o”时，加“-es”并发[-z]音，例如： negro[>ni:grou]→negroes[>ni:grouz]黑人 potato[p>teitou]→potatoes[p>teitouz]马铃薯 注：本项也有加“-s”并发[-z]音的，多为外来语，例如： piano[pi>nou]→pianos[pi>nouz]钢琴 photo[>foutou]→photos[>foutouz]照片 radio[>reidiou]→radios[>reidiouz]收音机（源自拉丁词根-1906
