接待来到 Oxford Online English!

Look at a sentence: Do you remember that time when Anna and Amy fell into the swi妹妹ing pool?

看一个句子: 您还记得安娜和艾米掉进泅水池的那次吗?

Try reading the sentence.

试着读一下这句话。

Can you pronounce the sentence in one sound, without any pauses?

您能用一种声音发音吗 没有任何搁浅?

Listen to me one more time: Do you remember that time when Anna and Amy fell into the swi妹妹ing pool?

再听我一次: 您还记得安娜和艾米掉进泅水池那次吗?

When native speakers talk, they don’t pause between words.

当母语人士措辞时,他们不会 在单词之间搁浅。

They pronounce whole phrases and even sentences as one continuous sound.

他们的短语乃至句子发音 是一个持续的声音。

If you want to speak English more fluently and sound more natural, you should try to do this too.

若是您想说英语更流畅 而声音更天然,您应测验考试如许做。

But how?

可是怎样样做?

There are many pronunciation points you need to study, but today we’re going to look at just one very important point: linking.

有不少您要进修的发音点, 但今天咱们只来看很是首要的一点:连音。

Linking is how you connect words when you speak, so that two words are pronounced together.

连音是指您在说英文时怎么去毗连单词 ,如许,两个单词一块儿发音。

For example: ‘that time’; ‘when_Anna’.

比方:’that time’; ‘when_Anna’。

Here we can see two different types of link.

在这里,咱们可以看到两种分歧类型的连音。

You’ll learn about these ways to link words, and more, in this lesson.

您会学这些单词连音的法子, 和更多,在本课中。

Before we start, we need to check one thing.

在咱们起头以前,咱们要查抄一件事。

Do you know the difference between consonants and vowels?

您晓得子音和之间的区分吗?

A, E, I, O and U are vowels.

A,E,I,O和U是元音。

All the other letters are consonants.

所有其他字母都是子音。

Okay?

是如许吗?

Let’s look at the first way to link words:

咱们看看单词连音的第一种方法:

Part one: linking two consonants.

第一部门:两个子音连音。

When you say ‘that time’, what happens?

当您说”that time”时,会产生甚么?

How many times do you pronounce /t/?

您发音/ t /几多次?

The answer: just once.

谜底:只有一次。

The two words ‘share’ the /t/ sound: ‘that time’.

两个词”share”/ t /声音:”that time”。

Try it.

尝尝吧。

Can you link the words?

您能把这些词连音吗?

When one word ends with a consonant sound, and the next word starts with the same consonant sound, we link the sounds.

当一个单词以子音声音竣事时, 下一个单词以不异的子音声音开首,咱们连音。

For example:

比方:

‘Red dress’. We have two /d/ sounds together, so the two words share the sound: ‘red dress’.

咱们有两个/ d /声音在一块儿,以是两个单词 分享声音:”Red dress”。

‘Cheap places’. We have two /p/ sounds together, so again the two words share the sound: ‘cheap places’.

咱们有两个/ p /声音在一块儿,以是再次 这两个单词分享声音:”Cheap places”。

‘Feel lucky’. The two words share the /l/ sound: ‘feel lucky’.

这两个词分享/ l /声音:”Feel lucky”。

Can you pronounce the links?

您能发连音的音吗?

Repeat after me:

随着我反复:

‘Red dress’; ‘cheap places’; ‘feel lucky’. Let’s put them in a sentence:

咱们把它们放在一个句子里:

She bought a really nice red dress last week.

她上周买了一件很是标致的赤色连衣裙。

Do you know any cheap places to stay in Barcelona?

您晓得在巴塞罗那有哪些廉价的处所吗?

I feel lucky—let’s play poker!

I feel lucky—let’s play poker!我感觉很荣幸 – 咱们来玩扑克牌!

Can you read the sentences?

您能读句子吗?

Focus on pronouncing the links between the consonants.

偏重在子音之间连音的发音。

Next, remember that links depend on the sounds, not the spelling.

接下来,请记着连音取决于声音, 而不是拼写。

For example: ‘look cool’.

比方:”look cool”。

The letters here are different—’c’ and ‘k’—but the sounds are the same: /k/.

这里的字母分歧 – ‘c’和 ‘k’ – 但声音是不异的:/ k /。

So we link the words, and they share the /k/ sound: ‘look cool’.

以是咱们把这些单词连音,他们同享/ k / 的声音:”look cool”。

You can see the same thing here: ‘quite tall’; ‘nice sofa’.

您可以在这里看到一样的事变:”quite tall”;

We link these because the sounds are the same, even though the spellings are different.

咱们连音这些是由于声音是不异的, 即便拼写分歧。

Let’s try these in some short sentences:

咱们用一些短句来尝尝这些:

You look cool in those jeans.

您穿那些牛崽裤看起来很酷。

He’s quite tall for his age, I suppose.

我感觉按他的春秋来讲他是至关高的。

That’s a nice sofa!

那是一个很标致的沙发!

Can you say the sentences?

您能读这些句子吗?

Pause the video and try.

暂停视频并试一下。

Focus on pronouncing the links correctly!

偏重于准确地发连音!

Okay, to review, when one word ends with a consonant sound, and the next word starts with the same consonant sound, we link the sounds.

好的,温习一下,当一个单词以一个子音末端, 而下一个单词以用不异的子音起头,咱们连音 发音。

But, there are two exceptions to this rule: we don’t link /t/ or /d/ sounds.

可是,这条法则有两个破例: 咱们不合错误/t?/或/d?/连音。

For example: ‘each choice’; ‘orange juice’.

比方:”each choice”; “orange juice”。

In these examples, you can’t link the two consonant sounds.

在这些例子里,您没法对这二者的 子音做连音。

You have to pronounce two sounds.

您必需发出两个声音。

Try to pronounce the second sound i妹妹ediately after you release the first sound.

试着在发出第一个声音后 当即发出第二个声音。

This will help you to speak more fluently: ‘each choice’; ‘orange juice’.

这将有助于您措辞更流畅:

Let’s try them in a sentence:

咱们用一句话来尝尝:

Each choice you make is important.

您做出的每个选择都是首要的。

Would you like some orange juice?

您要喝点橙汁吗?

Practice these sentences, and see how fluent you can make them!

操练这些句子,看看您能做到多流畅!

Okay, let’s look at one more point about linking consonant sounds.

好的,咱们再看一点关于子音连音的。

Part two: linking similar consonant sounds.

第二部门:雷同子音连音。

You already know that you can link two of the same consonant sounds together.

您已晓得您可以把 两个不异在一块儿的子音连音。

You can also link similar consonant sounds.

您还可以把雷同的子音连音。

For example: ‘cheese sandwich’; ‘breathe through’.

比方:

‘Cheese’ ends with a /z/ sound, and ‘sandwich’ starts with a /s/ sound.

“cheese’以一个 / z 声音末端,”sandwich” / s /音开首。

These aren’t the same, but they are similar.

这是纷歧样,但类似的。

The only difference between /s/ and /z/ is that /z/ is voiced.

/ s /和/ z /之间的独一区分是 / z /是浊音。

Everything else is the same.

其他一切都是同样的。

That means we can link the sounds.

这象征着咱们可以连音。

Try saying ‘cheese sandwich’.

尝尝说”cheese sandwich”。

When you say the /z/ on the end of ‘cheese’, your tongue is behind your top teeth.

当您说”cheese”末端的/ z /时, 您的舌头在你的上方牙齿的后面。

Leave your tongue there and change to /s/ without moving anything, then say ‘sandwich’.

舌头逗留在那然后酿成 / s /且没有挪动任何工具,然后说”sandwich”。

Cheese sandwich. It’s the same idea with ‘breathe through’.

“breathe through”是同样的。

Breathe ends with //, and through starts with /θ/.

breathe以/e/末端,through 以/θ/开始。

These are also a voiced and unvoiced pair.

这些也是一个浊音和非浊音的配对。

Say ‘breathe’ and put your tongue between your teeth to pronounce //.

说”breathe”,并把您的舌头 放在上下牙齿之间,并发音/e/。

Then, leave everything where it is and pronounce /θ/, and then say ‘through’.

然后,连结在发/θ/音的原处 ,然后说”through”。

Let’s try these examples in sentences:

咱们来尝尝这些例句:

Get me a cheese sandwich, would you?

给我一块奶酪三明治,好吗?

Do you have to breathe through your mouth like that?

您不能不像那样用嘴呼吸吗?

Try saying the sentences.

试着说这些句子。

Remember: there shouldn’t be any break between the linked words!

请记着:连音的单词之间不该该有任何间断!

So, what other consonant pairs can you link like this?

你也能够连音:/ d /和/ t / /我必要两千克的虾。

You can also link: /d/ and /t/ I need two kilos of shrimp. /k/ and /g/ The water was a kind of dark green colour. /p/ and /b/ I sleep better if the room’s really dark. /f/ and /v/ Have you packed enough vests?

你也能够连音:/ d /和/ t / /我必要两千克的虾。/ k /和/ g / /水是一种深绿色的。/ p /和/ b / /若是房间真的很暗,我会睡得更好。/ f /和/ v / /您有打包足够的背心吗?

It doesn’t matter which way round the sounds are.

声音是哪一种方法可有可无。

You can link /d/ to /t/ or /t/ to /d/. 您可以连音/ d /到/ t /或/ t /到/ d /。

For example:



方:

I need two kilos of shrimp.

/我必要两千克的虾。

She asked Dave what would happen.

/她问戴夫会产生甚么。

Now it’s your turn!

如今轮到您了!

Repeat the sentences after me.

随着我反复这些句子。

Focus on the links:

偏重存眷连音:

I need two kilos of shrimp.

我必要两千克的虾。

The water was a kind of dark green colour.

水是一种深绿色。

I sleep better if the room’s really dark.

若是房间真的很暗,我会睡得更好。

Have you packed enough vests?

您有打包足够的背心吗?

So now you know the most important points about linking consonants together, but what about vowels?

以是如今您晓得将子音连音最首要的一点了,可是元音呢?

Part three: linking consonants to vowels.

第三部门:将子音与元音连音。

Let’s go back to our first example sentence:

咱们回到咱们的第一个例句:

Do you remember that time when Anna and Amy fell in the swi妹妹ing pool?

/您还记得安娜和艾米 掉进泅水池那次吗?

Think about the words ‘when Anna’.

想一想”when Anna”这几个字。

What happens?

怎样了?

We link the consonant onto the vowel.

咱们将子音连音到元音上。

Together, the words are pronounced /we’nn/.

一块儿,这些词发音/we’n?n?/。

You can do this if one word ends with a consonant sound, and the next word begins with a vowel sound.

若是一个单词以子音声音末端, 下一个单词以元音开首,您可以如许做。

Look at the sentence again.

再看一遍这句话。

Can you find two more examples like this?

您能再找到两个像如许的例子吗?

You can also link ‘and Amy fell in’.

您也能够连音”and Amy fell in”。

Try saying the full sentence with these vowel links:

试着用这些元音连音说出完备的句子:

Do you remember that time when Anna and Amy fell in the swi妹妹ing pool? If you find it difficult to pronounce the links, slow down.

若是您发明很难发 连音的音,慢下来。

You don’t need to speak fast to link correctly.

您无需讲太快便可准确连音。

Let’s practice with some different examples.

咱们操练一些分歧的例子。

Look at three sentences.

看三句话。

Can you find the consonant-vowel links?

您能找到子音 – 元音连音吗?

There’s an elephant in the garden.

/花圃里有一头大象。

I ate an apple and two pears.

/我吃了一个苹果和两个梨。

These are the best tomatoes I’ve ever had.

/这些是我吃过的最佳的番茄。

There are three consonant-vowel links to find in each sentence.

在每一个句子里可以找到有三个子音 – 元音的连音。

Can you see them?

您找到他们吗?

Let’s see where the links are:

咱们来看看连音在哪:

There’s an elephant in the garden. I ate an apple and two pears. These are the best tomatoes I’ve ever had. Can you pronounce the links in these sentences?

您能发这些句子中的连音吗?

If you find it difficult to pronounce consonant-vowel links, there’s a simple trick you can use.

若是您发明子音-元音的连音很难发音, 有一个您可以用的简略技能。

Imagine that the consonant is at the start of the second word.

想象一下,子音是在第二个单词的开首。

For example, try saying:

比方,试着说:

There’s an elephant in the garden. I ate an apple and two pears. These are the best tomatoes I’ve ever had. Looks weird, right?

看起来很奇异,对吗?

But many English learners find this useful.

可是不少英语进修者发明这颇有用。

Remember, we write the words separately, with spaces between them, but we don’t pronounce them that way.

请记着,咱们别离地写下单词 ,单词间留空,但咱们不会那样发他们的音。

In speech, the consonant doesn’t ‘belong’ to the first word—you can easily think of the consonant sound being at the start of the second word.

在白话中,子音不”属于”第一个单词 – 您可以很轻易地想到子音是在第二个单词的开首。

Let’s look at our last way to link.

咱们看看咱们连音的最后一个法子。

Part four: linking two vowel sounds.

第四部门:两个元音连音。

Let’s look at one more phrase: He asked me for two apples.

咱们看一个短语: 他问我要两个苹果。

Here, there are links between ‘he asked’ and ‘two apples’.

在这里,”he asked”和”two apples”之间有连音。

You can link two vowel sounds like this: add a consonant sound in the middle to connect the sounds.

您可以像如许连两个元音的音: 加一个子音到中心去连声音。

You can add /w/ or /j/ depending on the two vowel sounds.

您可以添加/ w /或/ j /,详细取决于 两个元音的声音。

For example:

比方:

‘Two apples’. We link the sounds with /w/: two apples.

咱们用/ w /连声音:two apples。

‘He asked’. We link the sounds with /j/: he asked.

咱们用/ j/连声音:he asked。

Let’s try these in some sentences: There are two apples in the bowl.

咱们用一些句子来尝尝: 碗里有两个苹果。

He asked for a glass of water.

他要了一杯水。

You’re probably thinking: how do I know which consonant sound to add?

您可能在想:我怎样晓得 添加哪一个子音?

When do I use /w/ or /j/?

我何时用/ w /或/ j /?

There are rules, but the rules aren’t very practical to use.

有法则,但法则,不是很适用的。

The best way is simply to relax and try to read the words as fluently as possible.

最佳的法子就是放松和测验考试 尽量流畅地浏览。

You will use the correct sound automatically.

您将主动地用准确的声音。

Remember that linking makes it easier to speak fluently.

请记着,连音使措辞流畅变得更易。

If you’re not sure which sound to use to link two vowels, simply try them all.

若是您不肯定要利用哪一种声音 与两个元音连音,就全数都试一下。

The easiest one to say is the correct one.

最轻易说的阿谁是准确的。

Let’s practice: which sound should you add to link these words?

咱们来操练:您应当添加哪一种声音 把这些单词连音?

‘See Andrew’; ‘go out’. Remember: if you’re not sure, just try saying the words quickly and fluently.

记着:若是您不肯定,尝尝 快速而流畅地措辞。

Pause the video if you want to think about it.

若是您想要斟酌一下,请暂停视频。

Here are the answers:

如下是谜底:

See Andrew: add a /j/ sound.

See Andrew:添加一个/ j /的音。

Go_w_out: add a /w/ sound.

Go_w_out:添加一个/ w /的音。

Let’s practice these in sentences:

咱们来操练这些句子:

I’m going to see Andrew this weekend.

/这个周末我要去看安德鲁。

Shall we go out to get something to eat?

/咱们要出去吃些工具吗?

So now you know all the ways to link words in English.

以是如今您晓得所有英语单词连音的法子。

Part five: review.

第五部门:温习。

There are three basic ways to link words in English: consonant to consonant, consonant to vowel, and vowel to vowel.

英语单词连音有三种根基法子: 子音与子音的连音、子音与元音的连音、元音与元音的连音。

You can link two consonants if one word ends with a consonant sound, and the next word starts with the same sound, or a similar sound.

若是一个单词以一个子音末端, 然后下一个单词以一样的音或雷同的音开首,您可以把两个子音连音。

In this case, the two words ‘share’ the consonant sound.

在这类环境下,两个单词词”分享”子音。

You can link any consonant to any vowel.

您可以将任何子音与任何元音连音。

It can be helpful to imagine that the consonant ‘belongs’ to the second word.

想象一下子音”属于”第二个单词,可能会有所帮忙。

You can link two vowel sounds together by adding a consonant between them.

您可以在两个在一块儿的 之间添加一个子音来连音他们。

You need to add /w/ or /j/ depending on the two vowel sounds.

您必要添加/ w /或/ j /,详细取决于 两个元音的声音。

If you’re not sure how to link two vowels, just relax and try out the different combinations.

若是您不肯定若何连音两个元音, 轻松一下,测验考试分歧的组合。

Remember that linking is supposed to make speaking easier, not harder!

请记着连音是让白话 更易,而不是更难!

That’s the end of the lesson.
