    英語筆記
    1.這里的/d/+/j/同化為/dʒ/,讀作/'kʊdʒʊ/。
    2.per head 是指“每人”。
    3.也就是“打八五折”。
    4.這是對(duì)話里的新信息,也是重要信息,需要重讀。
    5.tour in 連讀為/tʊə rɪŋ/。
    英語語音語調(diào)
    用重讀強(qiáng)調(diào)重要信息
    在對(duì)話中,旅行社的接待員Ann說"We just offer 15% discount for groups more than 5 persons."即旅行社只為5人以上的團(tuán)提供八五折優(yōu)惠,Ann在這里強(qiáng)調(diào)這個(gè)數(shù)字,是均了告訴顧客Larry他的團(tuán)隊(duì)只有3個(gè)人,所以旅行社無法為其提供打折服務(wù)。在英語的日常對(duì)話中,通??梢酝ㄟ^重讀的方式未傳達(dá)和強(qiáng)調(diào)重要的信息,表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn),讓對(duì)方明白自己的意圖。例如:
    Look what you have done!
    看你都做了什么!
    這里強(qiáng)調(diào)做的事情,因此done要重讀。
    I usually get up at seven o'clock.
    我平時(shí)七點(diǎn)鐘起床。
    這里強(qiáng)調(diào)七點(diǎn)鐘,因此seven重讀。
