remember that if a word ends in a consonant sound and the next word starts with a vowel sound they can link together smoothly.
记住,如果单词以辅音结尾,而其后的单词又是以元音开始,那它们就会很自然地形成连读。
a cardinal vowel is a vowel sound produced when the tongue is in an extreme position, either front or back, high or low.
当舌头位于极端的位置,发出的元音就是定位元音,不论位置的前后或高低。
the other is that we link words ending with a vowel sound to words beginning with a vowel sound…
另一种就是我们把元音结尾的单词与元音开头的单词连起来读。
if everyone in your class – including the teacher – knows the spelling and meaning of a word but is mispronouncing something as simple as a vowel sound it could make you all indecipherable.
如果你班上的每个人-包括教师-知道单词的读音和意思但是发错了音,象原音这样简单的音,可能使你的英语让人辨认不清。
