英语笔记
1.此处出现消音现象，delighted to 读作/d??la?t? t?/。
2.going to 表示“打算做某事”时，常会音变为 gonna.
3.此处 did you 发生了同化而变音，读作/d??/。
4.Twenty-four Seven 这里指“全天候陪同”。
英语语音语调
did you, did I,did we, did they, did he, did she, did it的读法
Did you live in China中的did you读成了/d??/，其实did本身并没有弱读形式，但由于与后面的弱读人称代词相连，在口语较快的语流中就发生了同化而变音。类似的情况还有：
Did I/d-a?/（音标中的一表示短暂停止）have that?
我有那个东西吗？
Did we /d?w?/ start at morning?
我们从上午开始的吗？
Did they /d?ee?/come?
他们来了吗？
