　　英语笔记

　　1.这里的/d/+/j/同化为/dʒ/，读作/'kʊdʒʊ/。

　　2.per head 是指“每人”。

　　3.也就是“打八五折”。

　　4.这是对话里的新信息，也是重要信息，需要重读。

　　5.tour in 连读为/tʊə rɪŋ/。

　　英语语音语调

　　用重读强调重要信息

　　在对话中，旅行社的接待员Ann说"We just offer 15% discount for groups more than 5 persons."即旅行社只为5人以上的团提供八五折优惠，Ann在这里强调这个数字，是均了告诉顾客Larry他的团队只有3个人，所以旅行社无法为其提供打折服务。在英语的日常对话中，通常可以通过重读的方式未传达和强调重要的信息，表达自己的观点，让对方明白自己的意图。例如：

　　Look what you have done!

　　看你都做了什么!

　　这里强调做的事情，因此done要重读。

　　I usually get up at seven o'clock.

　　我平时七点钟起床。

　　这里强调七点钟，因此seven重读。
