English Pronunciation Analysis Advanced English Conversation Rachels English

You’ve told me one of your favorite
exercises is a Ben Franklin exercise,

where we study everything about
American English pronunciation

to help you improve your listening comprehension and understand how to sound more American.

So today, we’re going to do a Ben Franklin
exercise on a monologue about the weather.

First, we’ll listen to the full monologue,
then there will be an in-depth analysis.

After that, after you study everything about stress,

reductions, and linking, there will be a
listen and repeat section.

This is where you get to practice out loud
and see if you can imitate what I’ve done.

First, the monologue.

Today it’s a hundred degrees in Philadelphia.

That’s thirty eight degrees Celsius.

We’re in the middle of a heat wave, which
is the opposite of a cold snap,

and every day this week is supposed to
be upper nineties.

I know some people love the heat.

I am not one of these people.

Weather like this makes me want to stay inside all day and only venture out after the sun has set.

Now, the analysis.

Today it’s a hundred degrees in Philadelphia.

What do you hear is being the most stressed
words in that little thought group?

Today it’s a hundred degrees in Philadelphia.

I hear the stressed syllable of ‘a hundred’
and ‘Philadelphia’.

Let me write this out.

A hundred.

So stress is on the first syllable of ‘hun’.

A hundred.

Today, it’s a hundred degrees in Philadelphia.

Today it’s a hundred degrees in Philadelphia.

And I feel that I’m emphasizing the H a
little bit more than normal,

that’s to add stress to that syllable, to that word.

A hundred.

Hundred, making the H a little stronger than normal.

A hundred degrees.

And I break it up a little bit.
There’s a little break between ‘today’ and ‘it’s’.

Today it’s a hundred degrees in Philadelphia.

And then I do another little break here.

Why did I do that?

Well, I think I did it to add emphasis to how hot it is.

It’s a hundred degrees.

When we put a little break before

a segment in a thought group, it helps to add stress to it

just like exaggerating the beginning consonant did.

It’s a hundred degrees.

Today it’s a hundred degrees.

Today it’s a hundred degrees in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia.

This is a long word and long words can be intimidating.

Notice the PH, which is in here twice, is
pronounced as an F.

Philadelphia.

Phila-del-phia.

So the syllable ‘Phil’ has a little bit of
secondary stress, it’s a little bit longer

but ‘del’ has the most stress, the up-down
shape of the voice,

and that’s what we can use to shape the word.

Philadelphia.

That’s thirty eight degrees Celsius.

That’s thirty eight degrees.

I did it again, I put a little break before the
TH for ‘thirty’ and that adds stress.

That’s thirty eight degrees.

If I made it more smooth: That’s thirty eight degrees.

That’s thirty eight degrees.

Then I lose some of the stress that
I want to put on how hot it is.

I want to put stress on the number:
That’s thirty eight degrees.

Let’s write that out too.

That’s thirty eight degrees.

Thirty eight degrees.

Okay, we have a couple things happening
with our T’s here.

We have this first T in ‘thirty’, that’s a flap T.

And the T is a flap T when it comes
between two vowels or

when it comes after an R before a vowel
like in the word ‘thirty’.

Thirty.

Thirty eight degrees.

So the T in ‘eight’ is a Stop T because the
next sound is a consonant.

Thirty eight degrees.

So we definitely don’t release it, it’s
definitely not a True T,

that would sound like this: Thirty eight degrees.

Thirty eight degrees.

And that’s just more emphasis on the T.

It’s a more clear pronunciation than we would give it.

We make it a stop.

Thirty eight degrees.

Thirty eight.

Eight.

We cut off that word by cutting off the air.

That abrupt stop is what lets us know this was a T.

Thirty eight degrees.

The word ‘degrees’ ends in the Z sound
and the word ‘Celsius’

begins with the S sound.

If I was speaking less clearly, a little bit
more conversationally,

I would have said: Thirty eight degrees Celsius.

And I would have connected the two and
just made a single S sound,

but I was being a little bit more clear here, just like up here when I said ‘a hundred degrees’,

and then I put a little break after ‘degrees’.

I did not connect with the same
sound because I wanted

the ‘thirty eight degrees’ to stick out of the
line a little bit for stress, for emphasis.

Thirty eight degrees Celsius.

Celsius.

First syllable stress: thirty eight degrees.

Stress on ‘thir—’.

Thirty eight degrees Celsius.

And then we also have stress on that first syllable.

Celsius.

We’re in the middle of a heat wave.

One word is the most stressed there, is most clear, highest in pitch.

What is it?

We’re in the middle of a heat wave.

Heat.

Definitely ‘heat’ has the most stress.

We’re in the middle of a heat wave.

And what do you notice about the T there?

A Stop T because the next word begins with a consonant.

We’re in the middle of a heat wave.

So ‘mid’, a little bit of stress.

‘Wave’ is also a stressed word.
It’s not as stressed as ‘heat’, that’s the most stressed,

but it is longer and more clear.

What about these two strings of words
that are not stressed?

What do they sound like?

Let’s just listen to them on their own.

First: We’re in the—

What does that sound like?

We’re in the—

Not very clear.

It’s definitely not: We’re in the—,

that would be a stressed pronunciation.

They’re all unstressed, said very quickly, no gaps between the words.

We’re in the—

I would write this contraction ‘we’re’ with the schwa.

Schwa R, said very quickly, not too clear:

we’re, we’re, we’re, we’re, we’re.

Then ‘in’: We’re in— we’re in— we’re in— we’re in—
with no break,

we’re in the—

The word ‘the’ with no break, schwa.

We’re in the—

we’re in the—

We’re in the—

we’re in the—

Then we have the words ‘of’ and ‘a’.

Of a—

of a—

Of a—

of a—

I don’t drop the V sound, and I would probably write this with the full UH as in butter rather than a schwa.

But it’s still said quickly, it’s still unstressed.

Of a— of a— of a— of a—

That’s really different than our most stressed word ‘heat’

which has up-down shape and is much longer.

These strings of unstressed words are very flat in pitch,

compared to the stressed words, and that’s part of the important contrast of American English.

We’re in the middle of a heat wave.

We’re in the middle of a heat wave which
is the opposite of a cold snap.

Which is the opposite of a cold snap.

So ‘heat wave’, ‘cold snap’,

in both of those phrases, both words are stressed but the first word is the most stressed.

Which is the opposite of a cold snap.

So in this sentence fragment, ‘op’ and ‘cold’ and ‘snap’ are our most stressed words

and the other words like above are
less clear, flatter in pitch, unstressed.

Let’s listen to ‘which is the’.

Which is the—

which is the—

Which is the—

which is the—

Now, I noticed I pronounced the word ‘the’ with a schwa.

There is an official rule about the pronunciation of ‘the’

and it says: when the next word begins with a vowel,

you make that an EE vowel: the opposite.

But I have noticed that many Americans
don’t do this and I did not do this here.

I made this a schwa.

Which is the—

which is the—

Notice the S in ‘is’ makes the Z sound.

The letter S often makes the Z sound.

Don’t be deceived and think because you see the letter S, that it’s the S sound.

Which is the—

Which is the opposite of a cold snap.

Opposite of a cold—

So these words are all linked together.

The T becomes a Flap T which links into the next word.

Opposite of a—

of a, of a, of a.

Opposite of a cold snap—

But all of these words link together, there’s no break, there’s no choppiness.

Which is the opposite of a cold snap.

Let’s look at the ending D in ‘cold’.

It is not released.

That would sound like this:
cold snap, cold snap, cold snap, cold ddd—.

We don’t do that.
We put the tongue up into position for the D,

and we vibrate the vocal cords: cold snap,

and then we go right into the S sound without releasing.

So the D sound is very subtle when
it’s followed by a consonant

because we don’t release it but native speakers still definitely hear that vibration in the vocal cords.

Cold, cold, ddd, cold snap.

Cold snap, cold snap, cold snap.

So a ‘heat wave’ is a phrase we use when there’s a period of time, a couple of days,

where the heat reaches an extreme high,

and a ‘cold snap’ is the exact opposite.

We use this phrase for a period of days where the weather reaches extremely low temperatures.

Usually, a heat wave or a cold snap

last just a few days, maybe at most, a week.

We’re in the middle of a heat wave which
is the opposite of a cold snap.

And every day this week—

And, and.

I drop the D there.
We almost always drop the D in this word.

And, and.

I don’t reduce the vowel.
I still make: ah, ah, ahn,

it is common to make that a schwa, and
that would sound like this:

Nn every day this week—

Nn every—

But I did put more of a vowel in it: and every—

and every day—

every day this week—

‘Every’ the most stressed word there.

And every day this week—

‘Day’ and ‘week’ also a little bit longer
than the unstressed word ‘this’,

but they don’t have the height of pitch that ‘every’ has.

‘Every’ is most stressed.

Every day this week.

Let’s listen to just these three words.
Day this week.

So you can hear the contrast of long, short, long:
da da da. Da da da.

Day this week.

Day this week—

Day this week is supposed to be upper nineties.

Is supposed to be upper nineties.

Let’s write this out again.

I should do a better job of writing out
my numbers for these exercises.

Is supposed to be upper nineties.

So I put a little break here.

Again, for emphasis.

I want to emphasize how hot it’s supposed to be.

Upper nineties.

Both of those two-syllable words
have first syllable stress: upper nineties.

And notice, this is a Flap T, it
comes between two vowels.

Nineties, da, da, da, da, da.

Nineties.

Now, what’s happening with the word
‘supposed’ in the phrase ‘supposed to’?

Is supposed to be upper nineties.

So we have ‘is supposed to’.

‘Is’ ends in the Z.

‘Supposed’ starts with an S.

Now here’s a case where I am linking
and I’m dropping the Z.

S is an unvoiced consonant and unvoiced
consonants are considered to be strong.

Voiced consonants like Z are weak, so when they link together, the strong consonant wins.

So rather than saying: is supposed—

and making a Z than an S, it’s just: Isspposed—

Isspposed— isss—

just one single S sound.

Is supposed to—

is supposed to—

Now, this word, this phrase, actually: supposed to,

never pronounced that clearly. We do a reduction with it.

Can you hear it?

Is supposed to—

is supposed to—

Supposed to—

supposed to—

So it’s a three-syllable word, suh—
sorry it’s a three-syllable phrase.

Supposed to—

But I turn that into a two-syllable phrase.

Spposed to—

So officially, this would be a ZD ending,
but I make it unvoiced ST

and when I link that into the
next word that begins with a T,

the word ‘to’ with the reduced to the schwa ‘to’.

When I link it in, then I just make
one T sound: spposed to—

And I’m basically dropping this first syllable: Suh— po—

I drop the vowel so it’s just: Ssspose to—

Ssspose to—

So we do a couple things here: we reduce by instead of putting a vowel between the S and the P,

we just put the S right up next to the P,
which drops the first unstressed syllable.

So we take the S, put it on to the stressed syllable ‘po’: sspo—,

and then we take the ending, we make it unvoiced, and we link it directly into the T.

Ssspose to—

I actually have a video where I go over the pronunciation of ‘supposed to’ and I give some more examples.

So I’ll link to that at the end of this video.

But practice that with me for a moment: is supposed to—

is supposed to—

That’s a very natural way to pronounce
those three words together.

Is supposed to—

Is supposed to be upper nineties.

I know some people love the heat.

I am not one of these people.

Okay, then I have: I know some people love the heat.

It’s very clear there, I think, what the
most stressed syllable is.

What about in the next sentence?

I know some people love the heat.
I am not one of these people.

I am not—

Okay, so in both of those phrases, I bring
the stressed word out even more,

even more up-down shape, even more putting a little bit more strength on the first consonant.

I also make a True T here at the end of ‘not’.

That’s, again, because I’m exaggerating that word.

I’m making it even more clear than normal.

Normally, if I was going to link that into
the sentence, it would be a Stop T

because the next word begins with a consonant.

I know you’re thinking: wait, that’s the
letter O, that’s a vowel,

but phonetically, it’s written with the consonant: one.

So that would be a stop T, but I’m making it a true T

for extra emphasis, to bring it away from the
rest of the sentence a little bit for stress.

I am not one of these people.

So we have a couple other words that
have a little bit more length.

I know some people love the heat.

But it’s not the same as ‘love’ which
is the most stressed.

And I give a light True T here at the end.
It would also be very common to make that a Stop T.

I know some people love the heat.

I am not one of these people.

‘One’ a little bit more length.

One of these people.

And a little bit more length on the stressed syllable of people as well.

I am not one of these people.

Of these, of these, of these.

Said quickly, unstressed, flatter in pitch.

One of these—

One of these people—

Weather like this makes me want to stay inside all day.

Weather like this, weather like this.

So ‘weather’ isn’t super clearly pronounced
but I do stress the first syllable.

The stressed syllable.

Weather like this makes me want to stay inside.

Weather like this makes me want to stay inside all day and only venture out after the sun has set.

Stay inside all day and only venture
out after the sun has set.

So those are the longest, most clear words.

Of course, we have other stressed words:
makes, want, inside, venture out, after.

But when you have many stressed words in a sentence,

some are going to take precedence and
are going to sound more stressed

and others will sound more unstressed

and that’s what’s happening here.

All stressed words, all nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, will not be equally stressed in a sentence.

Weather like this makes me want to stay inside all day and only venture out after the sun has set.

Are there any reductions?

Weather like this makes me want to stay inside all day and only venture out after the sun has set.

I definitely hear this one: want to.

So common to reduce that:
makes me wanna, makes me wanna.

Weather like this makes me want to stay inside.

So these words here from ‘like’ all the way
to ‘wanna’, a little flatter in pitch,

they don’t have the stressed shape of the
other syllables in this sentence.

Makes me want to stay inside all day—

Makes me want to stay inside all day and only venture out—

And only, and only.

Dropped D in ‘and’.

And only venture out—

And only venture out after the Sun has set—

And I put a little break here after ‘out’.

I make that a Stop T.

If I didn’t put a break and I was linking it in,

then it would be a Flap T because it would come between two vowels or diphthongs.

Out after, out after.

But I said: venture out after the sun is set.

So I put a little break there, breaking up my longer sentence into smaller thought groups.

And only venture out after the sun has set.

Sun has set, sun has set.

So two unstressed words, flatter in pitch.

After the sun has set.

Contrast of stressed and unstressed, so important.

After the sun has set.

In the next section, in the imitation section,

I’m going to be breaking up longer sentences like this into smaller segments for you to imitate with.

And now, the imitation exercise.

You’ll hear each phrase three times.

Then there will be a break for you to repeat it.

Repeat it out loud, and try to match
exactly what you hear.

Then I’ll say it one more time, and you say it with me.

Try not to think about what you’re saying
and how to pronounce it,

instead, just focus on imitating what you hear.

It’s not a bad idea to practice this section several times.

This is where you can really change some of your speaking habits.

Great job.

That’s it, and thanks so much for using Rachel’s English

你告诉我你最喜欢的
练习之一是 Ben Franklin 练习

，我们在其中学习有关
美式英语发音的所有内容，

以帮助你提高听力理解并了解如何听起来更美国化。

所以今天，我们要做一个本·富兰克林
关于天气的独白练习。

首先，我们将聆听完整的独白，
然后进行深入分析。

在那之后，在你学习了关于压力、

减少和链接的所有内容之后，将会有一个
听和重复的部分。

在这里你可以大声练习
，看看你是否能模仿我所做的。

首先，独白。

今天费城的气温是一百度。

那是三十八摄氏度。

我们正处于热浪的中间，这
与寒流相反，

本周的每一天都应该
是九十多岁。

我知道有些人喜欢炎热。

我不是这些人中的一员。

这样的天气让我想整天呆在里面，只有在太阳下山后才出去冒险。

现在，分析。

今天费城的气温是一百度。

你听到什么
是那个小思想组中压力最大的词？

今天费城的气温是一百度。

我听到“一百”
和“费城”的重读音节。

让我把这个写出来。

一百。

所以重音在“hun”的第一个音节上。

一百。

今天，费城的气温是一百度。

今天费城的气温是一百度。

而且我觉得我对 H 的强调
比平时多一点，

那是为了给那个音节、那个词增加压力。

一百。

一百，使H比正常强一点。

一百度。

我把它分解了一点。
“今天”和“现在”之间有一点间隔。

今天费城的气温是一百度。

然后我在这里休息一下。

我为什么这样做？

好吧，我想我这样做是为了强调它有多热。

是一百度。

当我们

在思想组中的某个片段之前稍作休息时，它有助于增加它的压力，

就像夸大开头的辅音一样。

是一百度。

今天是一百度。

今天费城的气温是一百度。

费城。

这是一个长词，长词可能令人生畏。

请注意，此处出现两次的 PH
发音为 F.

Philadelphia。

费城。

所以音节“Phil”有一点
次重音，它有点长，

但“del”有最大的重音，
声音的上下形状，

这就是我们可以用来塑造单词的方式。

费城。

那是三十八摄氏度。

那是三十八度。

我又做了一次，我在 TH 之前放了一个小休息，
表示“三十”，这增加了压力。

那是三十八度。

如果我让它更平滑：那就是三十八度。

那是三十八度。

然后我就失去了一些
我想对它有多热施加的压力。

我想强调一下这个数字：
那是三十八度。

让我们也写出来。

那是三十八度。

三十八度。

好的，
我们的 T 在这里发生了一些事情。

我们有“三十”中的第一个 T，那是一个拍音

T。当它出现
在两个元音之间或者

当它出现在一个元音之前的一个 R 之后，
就像“三十”一样，T 是一个拍音 T。

三十。

三十八度。

所以“八”中的 T 是停止 T，因为
下一个声音是辅音。

三十八度。

所以我们绝对不会发布它，它
绝对不是 True T

，听起来像这样：三十八度。

三十八度。

这只是更加强调T。

它的发音比我们给出的更清晰。

我们让它停下来。

三十八度。

三十八。

八。

我们通过切断空气来切断这个词。

那个突然的停止让我们知道这是一个 T.

三十八度。

“度”一词以 Z 音结尾
，“摄氏度”一词

以 S 音开头。

如果我说得不那么清楚，多一点
对话，

我会说：三十八摄氏度。

我本来可以把两者联系起来，
然后发出一个单一的 S 音，

但我在这里更清楚一点，就像在这里我说“一百度”时一样，

然后我在“度”后面放了一个小休止符 .

我没有连接相同的
声音，因为我

希望“三十八度”
突出一点以强调压力和强调。

三十八摄氏度。

摄氏度。

第一个音节重音：三十八度。

强调“三——”。

三十八摄氏度。

然后我们对第一个音节也有压力。

摄氏度。

我们正处于热浪之中。

一个词在那里重音最大，最清晰，音高最高。

它是什么？

我们正处于热浪之中。

热。

绝对“热”的压力最大。

我们正处于热浪之中。

你注意到那里的 T 是什么？

一个停止 T，因为下一个单词以辅音开头。

我们正处于热浪之中。

所以“中”，有点压力。

“Wave”也是一个重读词。
它不像“热”那么紧张，这是最紧张的，

但它更长更清晰。

这两串
没有重读的词呢？

它们听起来像什么？

让我们自己听听他们的意见。

第一：我们在——

这听起来像什么？

我们在——

不是很清楚。

绝对不是：我们在-，

那将是一个强调的发音。

他们都没有重读，说得很快，词之间没有间隙。

我们在——

我会写这个缩写“我们” 重新与施瓦。

Schwa R，很快，不太清楚地说：

我们是，我们是，我们是，我们是，我们是。

然后“在”：我们在——我们在——我们在——我们在——
没有休息，

我们在——

这个词 ' 没有休息，施瓦。

我们在——

然后我们有了“of”和“a”这两个词。

of a-

我不会放弃 V 音，我可能会用完整的 UH 写这个，就像用黄油而不是 schwa .

但还是说得很快，还是没有压力。

of a- of a- of a- of a-

这与我们最强调的单词“heat”确实不同

，它具有上下形状并且更长。

与重读词相比，这些非重读词串的音调非常平坦，这是美式英语重要对比的一部分。

我们正处于热浪之中。

我们正处于与
寒流相反的热浪之中。

这与寒流相反。

所以“热浪”、“寒流”，

在这两个短语中，两个词都重读，但第一个词重读最大。

这与寒流相反。

所以在这个句子片段中，“op”、“cold”和“snap”是我们重读最多的词

，而像上面这样的其他词则
不太清晰，音调平缓，没有重读。

让我们听听“which is the”。

哪个是——

哪个是

那个——

哪个是

那个——哪个是那个——哪个是那个——哪个是那个——

哪个是

那个——

现在，我注意到我用一个schwa发音了“the”这个词。

关于“the”的发音有一条官方规则

，它说：当下一个单词以元音开头时，

你把它变成 EE 元音：相反。

但我注意到许多美国人
不这样做，而我在这里也没有这样做。

我把这个做成了施瓦。

哪个是

那个——哪个是那个——

哪个是那个——

注意“is”中的 S 发出 Z 音。

字母 S 经常发出 Z 的声音。

不要因为看到字母 S 就被欺骗并认为它是 S 音。

哪个是-

哪个是寒流的反面。

感冒的对面——感冒的

对面——感冒的

对面——

所以这些话都是连在一起的。

T 变成了一个 Flap T，它链接到下一个单词。

与a相反，

a，a，a。

与寒流相反——

但所有这些词都联系在一起，没有中断，没有波涛汹涌。

这与寒流相反。

让我们看一下“cold”中的结尾 D。

它没有被释放。

听起来像这样：
寒流，寒流，寒流，寒流 ddd——。

我们不这样做。
我们将舌头放在 D 音的位置，

然后振动声带：寒流，

然后我们直接进入 S 音而不释放。

因此，当 D 音后面跟着一个辅音时，它是非常微妙的，

因为我们不会释放它，但母语人士仍然可以肯定地听到声带中的这种振动。

冷，冷，ddd，寒流。

寒流，寒流，寒流。

因此，“热浪”是我们在一段时间内使用的短语，几天后

，热量达到极高的水平，

而“寒流”则完全相反。

我们在天气达到极低温度的日子里使用这个短语。

通常，热浪或寒流

仅持续几天，最多可能持续一周。

我们正处于与
寒流相反的热浪之中。

本周的每一天—— 本周的

每一天——

还有，还有。

我把 D 放在那里。
我们几乎总是在这个词中去掉 D。

并且，并且。

我不减少元音。
我仍然发出：啊，啊，安，

通常把它变成一个 schwa
，听起来像这样：

Nn 这周的每一天 - Nn 每 - Nn 每 -

但我确实在里面放了更多的元音：和

每周每一天——

每一天——“每一天

”是那里重音最重的词。

本周的

每一天—— 本周的每一天—— 本周的每一天—— “

日”和“周”也
比非重读词“这个”长一点，

但它们的音高没有“ 每个都有。

“每个”压力最大。

这周的每一天。

我们只听这三个字。
这周的一天。

所以你可以听到长，短，长的对比：
da da da。哒哒哒。

这周的一天。

本周的日子—— 本周的日子—— 本周的日子应该是九十多岁。

应该是九十多岁了。

让我们再写一遍。

我应该更好地
为这些练习写出我的数字。

应该是九十多岁了。

所以我在这里稍作休息。

再次强调。

我想强调它应该有多热。

九十多岁。

这两个双音节词
都有第一个音节重音：upper Nineties。

请注意，这是一个 Flap T，
它位于两个元音之间。

九十年代，达，达，达，达，达。

九十年代。

现在，
短语“应该”中的“应该”这个词发生了什么？

应该是九十多岁了。

所以我们有“应该”。

‘Is’ 以 Z 结尾

。‘Supposed’ 以 S 开头。

现在这是一个我正在连接
并且我正在删除 Z 的情况

。S 是清辅音，清
辅音被认为是强辅音。

像 Z 这样的浊辅音很弱，所以当它们连接在一起时，强辅音获胜。

因此，与其说：是假定的——

并且发出 Z 而不是 S，不如说：Isspposed-

Isspposed- isss-

只是一个单一的 S 音。

应该

——应该

——应该——

现在，这个词，这个短语，实际上：应该，

从来没有这么清楚地发音过。我们用它做减法。

你能听到吗？

应该

应该
应该-

应该-

应该- 应该-

所以这是一个三音节词，呃-
抱歉，这是一个三音节短语。

应该——

但我把它变成了一个两音节的短语。

Spposed to——

所以正式地说，这将是一个 ZD 结尾，
但我将其设为清音 ST

，当我将其连接到
下一个以 T 开头

的单词时，将单词“to”简化为 schwa “to”。

当我连接它时，我只发出
一个 T 音：spposed to-

我基本上去掉了第一个音节： Suh- po-

我去掉了元音，所以它只是： Ssspose to-

Ssspose to-

所以我们做一对这里的事情：我们减少而不是在 S 和 P 之间放置元音，

我们只是将 S 放在 P 旁边，
这会删除第一个非重读音节。

所以我们取 S，把它放在重读音节 ‘po’ 上：sspo-，

然后我们取词尾，我们把它变成清音，然后我们直接把它连接到 T。

Ssspose to-

实际上，我有一个视频，我在其中回顾了“应该”的发音，并举了更多例子。

因此，我将在此视频的末尾链接到该链接。

但是和我一起练习一下：应该

-应该

-应该-

这是将这三个词一起发音的一种非常自然的方式
。

应该

——应该

——应该是九十多岁。

我知道有些人喜欢炎热。

我不是这些人中的一员。

好的，那么我有：我知道有些人喜欢炎热。

那里很清楚，我想，
最重读的音节是什么。

下一句怎么说？

我知道有些人喜欢炎热。
我不是这些人中的一员。

我不是——

好吧，所以在这两个短语中，我
把重读的词更加突出，

更加上下的形状，更加加强了第一个辅音的力量。

我也在“不”的末尾做了一个真正的 T。

再说一次，因为我夸大了这个词。

我说得比平常更清楚。

通常，如果我要将它连接
到句子中，它将是一个 Stop T，

因为下一个单词以辅音开头。

我知道你在想：等等，那是
字母 O，那是一个元音，

但在语音上，它是用辅音写的：一。

所以这将是一个停止T，但我将它作为一个真正的T

来额外强调，让它远离
句子的其余部分以强调压力。

我不是这些人中的一员。

所以我们还有一些其他的词，
它们的长度要长一些。

我知道有些人喜欢炎热。

但这与压力最大的“爱”不同
。

最后我在这里给出一个轻的 True T。
将其设为 Stop T 也很常见。

我知道有些人喜欢高温。

我知道有些人喜欢炎热。

我不是这些人中的一员。

“一”长一点。

这些人之一。

在人的重读音节上也有更多的长度。

我不是这些人中的一员。

这些，这些，这些。

说得很快，没有压力，音调平缓。

其中

一个——其中一个——

其中一个——这样的

天气让我想整天呆在里面。

这样的天气，这样的天气。

所以“天气”的发音不是很清楚，
但我确实强调了第一个音节。

重读音节。

这样的天气让我想呆在里面。

这样的天气让我想整天呆在里面，只有在太阳下山后才出去冒险。

整天待在室内，只有
在太阳下山后才冒险出去。

所以那些是最长，最清楚的话。

当然，我们还有其他重读词：
制造、想要、内部、冒险、之后。

但是当你在一个句子中有很多重音词时，

有些词会优先
，听起来更重音，

而另一些词听起来更不重音

，这就是这里发生的事情。

所有重读的词，所有的名词、动词、形容词、副词，在一个句子中的重读都不相同。

这样的天气让我想整天呆在里面，只有在太阳下山后才出去冒险。

有减免吗？

这样的天气让我想整天呆在里面，只有在太阳下山后才出去冒险。

我绝对听到这个：想要。

减少这种情况很常见：
让我想要，让我想要。

这样的天气让我想呆在里面。

所以这里的这些词从“like”一直
到“wanna”，音调平缓一些，

它们没有
这句话中其他音节的重读形式。

让我想整天呆在里面——

让我想整天

呆在里面——让我想整天呆在里面——

让我想整天呆在里面，只冒险出去——

而且只有，而且只有。

在“和”中删除了 D。

只敢出去—— 只敢出去—— 只敢出去—— 只在太阳落山后才敢出去——

我在“出去”之后在这里稍作休息。

我把它设为 Stop T。

如果我没有休息并且我将它连接起来，

那么它将是一个 Flap T，因为它会出现在两个元音或双元音之间。

后出，后出。

但我说：等太阳下山再出去。

所以我在那里稍作休息，将较长的句子分成较小的思想组。

只有在太阳下山后才冒险出去。

太阳落山了，太阳落山了。

所以两个不重读的词，音调平缓。

太阳落山后。

强调和不强调的对比，如此重要。

太阳落山后。

在下一节中，在模仿部分，

我将把像这样的较长的句子分成更小的部分，供你模仿。

现在，模仿练习。

你会听到每个短语三遍。

然后会有一个休息时间让你重复它。

大声重复一遍，并尝试完全匹配
你听到的内容。

那我再说一遍，你跟我说。

尽量不要考虑你在说什么
以及如何发音

，而是专注于模仿你听到的内容。

多次练习这部分并不是一个坏主意。

这是你可以真正改变一些说话习惯的地方。

很好。
