英语笔记
1.ground 的尾音/d/消失。
2.opposed to 中两个爆破音相遇，前一个爆破音要失爆。
3.因为Lily 也很挑剔，所以Susan 说她们俩“半斤八两”，“彼此彼此”。
4.cold noodles 在这里指“朝鲜冷面”。
英语语音语调
尾音的消失
如果句尾单词的词尾是辅音，那么这个辅音读得比较轻或不发音。如：
I like pop music. music的读音本该是/'mju:zɪk/，但由于它在句末，所以几乎听不到/k/这个音。
再如：dog，cat，stop等词位于句尾时，其尾音也会消失。
但要注意，尾音的消失并不意味着这个音根本不发，而是要有发音准备，稍作停顿，但不出声。
