　　2.此处I'd 为I would 的缩略形式，读作/aɪd/。

　　英语语音语调

　　will you，will he.will she，will it的读法

　　Will you accept my arm中的“will you”不是读作/wɪljʊ:/而是读作/wəljə/。因为will you发生了弱读和连读。在疑问句中，语流较快，will就会念成/wəl/。于是will he，will she，will it也就发生了相应的变化，如：

　　Will he be free tomorrow?

　　他明天有空吗?

　　口语中发音接近/wəlɪ/。

　　Will she be back next week?

　　她下周回来吗?口语中发音接近/wəlʃɪ/。

　　Will it take long to get there?

　　到那儿去要很长时间吗?

　　口语中发音接近/wəlɪt/。
