　　英语笔记

　　1.音的同化。尾音/d/遇到/j/，同化为/d?/，所以这里 would you 读作/'w?d??/。

　　2.for 弱读为/f?/，与元音连读加辅助音/r/,for a bag 读作/f?r?b?ɡ/。

　　3.rip off 是指“宰客，收取不合理的高价”。

　　4.insist on sth. 意思是“坚持某事”，insist on doing sth.意思是“坚持做某事”。

　　英语语音语调

　　Would you like to buy something here?

　　您想买点儿什么吗？

　　在这个句子中，would you读作/'w?d??/，发音产生了变化，这是因为would的尾字母音/d/与you的首字母音/j/相遇融合

　　成第三个音，即融合同化。同化的规律是：/d/+/j/同化/d?/。比如：

　　Could you/'k?d??/ do me a favor please?

　　您能帮我一个忙吗？

　　Did you/'d?d??/ receive the letter l wrote to you?

　　你收到我写给你的信了吗？
