　　英语笔记

　　1.口语听语速较快，have you 读弱读式/vj?/。

　　2.than 作为连词，在口语中常读其弱读式/en/。

　　3.此处的really 读升调，表示说话人的疑问态度。

　　英语语音语调

　　Really和Really?

　　你听到的"really"单独作为一个问句出现，采用了升调的读法，表达了疑问态度，这就是英语中语调的变化。英

　　语有五种基本语调：升调(／)、降调(＼)、升降调（∧）、降升调(∨)以及平调（—）。声调高低抑扬轻重的变

　　化会导致句子意思发生变化。同样的句子，语调不同，句子意思会有肯定或否定等变化。如：

　　She is really（—）beautiful.

　　她真漂亮。

　　此处，really读平调，表示说话人的肯定态度。

　　She is so beautiful.

　　她真漂壳。

　　Really? (／)You do think so?

　　真的吗？你真的这么认为吗？

　　此处，really读升调，表示说话人的怀疑态度。
