英语连读发音的一般规则
一、连读的条件:
相邻的两词在意义上必须密切相关,同属一个意群。连读所构成的音节一般都不 重读,只需顺其自然地一带而过,不可读得太重,也不可音。(连读符号:~) 二、连读规则
1.“辅音+元音”型连读
在同一个意群里,如果相邻两词中的前一个词是以辅音结尾,后一个词是以元音 开头,这就要将辅音与元音拼起来连读。 I’m~an~English boy. It~is~an~old book.
Let me have~a look~at~it.
Ms Black worked in~an~office last~yesterday. I called~you half~an~hour~ago. Put~it~on, please. Not~at~all.
Please pick~it~up. 2.“r/re+元音”型连读
如果前一个词是以-r或者-re结尾,后一个词是以元音开头,这时的r或re不但要发/r/,而且还要与后面的元音拼起来连读。 They’re my father~and mother. I looked for~it here~and there. There~is a football under~it.
There~are some books on the desk. Here~is a letter for you. Here~are four~eggs. But where~is my cup?
Where~are your brother~and sister?
但是,如果一个音节的前后都有字母r,即使后面的词以元音开头,也不能连读。 The black clouds are coming nearer and nearer.(nearer与and不可连读) there 与is 连读为 theris [e?? ris] there与are 连读为therare[e?? ra] 3.“辅音+半元音”型连读
英语语音中的/j/和/w/是半元音,如果前一个词是以辅音结尾,后一个词是以半元音,特别是/j/开头,此时也要连读。 Thank~you.
Nice to meet~you.
Did~you get there late~again? Would~you like~a cup~of tea? Could~you help me, please? 辅音+半元音”型连读

Thank~you.
Nice to meet~you.
Did~you get there late~again? Would~you like~a cup~of tea? Could~you help me, please? 注意: —常把/d/+/j/读成/d?/,did you听上成了/dId?u/,would you成了/wud?u/,could you成了/kud?u/。
音的同化也是一种连读的现象,两个词之间非常平滑的过渡,导致一个音受临音影响而变化。主要是以下三种方式:
1、 辅音[d]与[j]相邻时,被同化为[d?]:Would you....? 2、 辅音[t]与[j]相邻时,被同化为[t∫]: Can’t you:。。。。? 3、 辅音[s]与[j]相邻时, 被同化为[∫]: Miss you
4、“元音+元音”型连读如果前一个词以元音结尾,后一个词以元音开头,这两个音往往也要自然而不间断地连读到一起。 I~am Chinese.
He~is very friendly to me. She wants to study~English.
How~and why did you come here? She can’t carry~it.
It’ll take you three~hours to walk there.
The question is too~easy for him to answer. (4)“元音+元音”型
元音对元音的连续实际上是在元音之间插入半元音[j]或[w],从而使纯元音音节之间的过渡变得自然、流畅,读起来更加上口。半元音插入情况如下:
前面的单词以敞口元音[i] [e]结尾,紧随其后的单词以元音[i]、[e]、[ai]、[?i]、[i]开头,这时,在两个单词之间出现半元音[j]作为过渡。
前面的单词以闭口元音[u]、[?u]结尾,紧随其后的单词以元音[u]、[?u]、[au]开头,这时,在两个单词之间出现半元音[w]作为过渡。 radio How are you doing? [e] [aI] [oI]
举例 [?u] w [?] 连读 go w aut hou w old为了把两个相邻的词连在一起,人们往往在以[?][a]音节结尾的单词后面加上[r]音,以便和后一个词的其首元音连接,这种添加的[r]称为“外加音”[r]。
I~am Chinese.
He~is very friendly to me. She wants to study~English.
How~and why did you come here? She can’t carry~it.
It’ll take you three~hours to walk there.

The question is too~easy for him to answer. 5. 失去爆破。
6个爆破音有3对/p/,/b/,/t/,/d/,/k/,/g/失去爆破,又叫不完全爆破,就是在某些情 况下,只须做出发音的准备,但并不发音,稍稍停顿后就发后面的音。
(1)“爆破音+爆破音”型6个爆破音中的任意2个相临时,前一个爆破音会失去爆破,即由相关的发音器官做好这个发音的姿势,稍做停顿后即发后面的爆破音。
The girl in the re(d) coat was on a bla(ck) bike jus(t) now. The bi(g) bus from the fa(c) tory is full of people. Wha(t) time does he get up every morning This is an ol(d) pi(c)ture of a bi(g) car. The ol(d) do(c)tor has a ca(t), too.
We’re going to work on a farm nex(t) Tuesday. What would you like, ho(t) tea or bla(ck) coffee? It’s a very col(d) day, but it’s a goo(d) day. You can put i(t) down in the bi(g) garden. I bought a chea(p) book, but it’s a goo(d) book. bla (ck) board, foo (t) ball, ke (p) t
(2)“爆破音+摩擦音”型如果前面是爆破音,其后紧跟着某些摩擦音(如/f/,/s/,/W/,/T/等),那么前面那个爆破音仅有十分轻微的爆破,而后面那个摩擦音则要完全爆破。
Goo(d) morning, Mr. Bell. Goo(d) morning, dear.
Uncle Li’s fa(c)tory is qui(te) near to the cinema. I wen(t) there alone a(t) nine las(t) night.
-Do you know his bi(ke) number? -Sorry, I don’(t) know. The forty-firs(t) lesson is qui(te) difficult. I didn\\'(t) say so
不完全爆破在两个相邻单词之间出现的情况非常多。① 爆破音中的任何两个爆破音相邻时,前一爆破音失去爆破。如a bi(g) car等。② 爆破音中的任何一个后接摩擦音/f/, /s/时,前面的爆破音失去爆破。如I didn\\'(t) say so. ③ 爆破音后接/t/, /d/, /tr/, /dr /时,前面的爆破音失去爆破。如a grea(t) change等。④ 爆破音后接/m/, /n/, /l/时,前面的爆破音失去爆破。如a bi(t) more expensive等。
当短语或从句之间按意群进行停顿时,意群与意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音与元音出现,也不可连读。
Is~it a~hat or a cat?(hat与or之间不可以连读)
There~is~a good book in my desk. (book与in之间不可以连读)
Can you speak~English or French? (English与or之间不可以连读) Shall we meet at~eight or ten tomorrow morning? (meet与 at,eight与or之间不可以连读) She opened the door and walked~in. (door与and之间不可以连读)
