　　英语笔记

　　1.some 的弱化，读作/səm/。

　　2.or 的弱化。连读为/kɒfiəti:/。

　　3.注意 thin/θɪn/与thing/θɪŋ/读音的区别。

　　4.dessert “甜点”与 desert “沙漠”形似，注意两个词之间的区别。

　　英语语音语调

　　容易混淆的/n/与/ŋ/

　　/n/与/ŋ/在发音时很难区分：发/ŋ/时，舌后抬起贴住软腭，软腭下垂;而发/n/音时，舌尖紧贴上齿龈，形成阻塞，这时音标类似于汉语中的前后鼻音。如：

　　thin/θɪn/薄的—thing/θɪŋ/事情

　　gone/ɡɒn/去—gong/ɡɒŋ/锣

　　lawn/lɔ:n/草坪—long/lɒŋ/长的

　　son/sʌn/儿子—song/sɒŋ/歌曲
