英语笔记
1.浊化现象，but 的/t/浊化为/d/，连读为/b?d?f/。
2.fancy restaurant 指“高级餐馆”。
3.省音现象。added 词尾的/d/在口语中几乎听不到。
4.加音现象。here it is 连读为/h??r?t?z/加了辅助音/r/。
英语语音语调
英语的语调——降升调
对话中Bryan说 "Can ↗I↘ have the bill↗?" 表示用委婉的语气征求对方同意。在反意疑问句中，如果提问者对问题没有把握，希望对方回答时也用降升调，如：
It's going to↑ rain↘, isn't it↗?
要下雨了，不是吗？
陈述句在表示有言外之意时要用降升调，如：
A：Do you like the apartment?
你喜欢这套公寓吗？
B: It's↗ new↗.
挺新的。（就是小了点儿。）
