Exercise 1 -43; Yes, You Can  or No, You Can't?                                   CD 2 Track 12 

Next you use a combination of  intonation and pronunciation to make the difference between  can  and can't. Reduce the positive  can  to [k 'n] and stress the verb. Make the negative  can't ([kæn(t)]) sound very short and stress both  can't and the verb. This will contrast  with the positive, emphasized can, which is doubled —and the verb is not stressed.  If you have trouble with  can't before a word that starts with a vowel¹, such as  open, put in a very small [(d)]— The keys  kæn (d) open the locks. Repeat.

参考例句：

• A long vowel is a long sound as in the word"shoe ".长元音即如“shoe” 一词中的长音。
• The vowel in words like 'my' and 'thigh' is not very difficult.单词my和thigh中的元音并不难发。
