23、e the rules of linking sounds according to the above examples.(1)“辅音+元音”型连读,如_组所示。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,就要将辅音与元音拼起来连读。(2)“r/re+元音”型连读,如_组所示。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。(3)“辅音+半元音”型连读,如_组所示。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。ABC(4)
24、“元音+元音”型连读,如组所示。如果前一个词以元音结尾,后一个词以元音开头,这两个音通常也要自然而不间断地连读到一起。D 理解习语(1)要整体把握,不要孤立理解其组成单词。(2)要结合上下文(包括说话人的口气)来判断习语的意义,因为习语通常都不是字面含义。(3)平时通过多渠道(报纸、杂志、电影、网络)积累常见习语。Achilles heel指的是致命弱点或缺点。Achilles 是希腊神话中的勇士。在Achilles出生时,他的母亲Thetis(海中女神)就将他倒提着浸进冥河,使他刀枪不入。可是因为手捏着的后脚跟没泡到水,全身留下了唯一一处死穴。最后,他被箭射中了后脚跟,从而身亡。后人即以Achilles heel表示“致命伤,最大的弱点”。例如:Mr Smith is always careless,which is his Achilles heel.Smith先生总是很粗心,这是他的致命缺点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。例如: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)
