英语连读规则
辅音转化：轻音变成浊音，词尾是辅音，而后面的词头是元音 T=D:
The cat is happy –the cad is happy
The hat on the table is mine=the had on the table is mine
Yesterday=yesderday
Butter=budder
Little=liddle
Cattle=caddle
S=Z:
Is (iz)
His (hiz)
Was (waz)
Has (haz)
Guys (guyz)
Buys (buyz)
Eyes (eyez)
S 前面如果有元音，会变成Z，如果S前面有浊音辅音，也会变成Rides（ridez）
Guides (guidez)
Piles (pilez)
Miles (milez) Z
Of (ov)
练习：
Is this the guy who rides his bike for miles?
Was yesterday the birthday of my cat?
The hat on the window is this guy’s (or girl’s )
辅音迁移:辅音跟后面的元音合并在一起

第二篇：英语连读,弱读,爆破音规则
为什么听不懂老外的发音——原来英语有连读、弱读和缩读
连读
(一)什么是连读。
在连贯地说话或朗读时,在同一个意群(即短语或从句)中,如果相邻的两个词前者以辅音音素结尾,后者以元音音素开头,就要自然地将辅音和元音相拼,构成一个音节,这就是连读。连读时的音节一般不重读,只需顺其自然地一带而过,不可以加音,也不可以读得太重。如:notatall这个短语。连读时听起来就像是一个单词。注意:连读只发生在句子中的同一个意群中。在两个意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音和元音出现,也不可连读。
如:Pleasetakealookatit.这个句子中takealookatit是同一个意群,那么take与a可连读,look与at可连读,at与it可连读。在Thereisabookinit.一句中book与in往往不连读,因为book与in分别在两个不同的意群中。
(二)连读的详细情况
1.在同一个意群中,相邻的两个词,前者以辅音音素结尾,后者以元音音素开头,往往要拼在一起连读。如:
He is a student.(is与a要连读)
That is a right answer.(That与is,is和a,right和answer都可以连读)
I?ll be back in half an hour.(back和in,half和an,an与hour都可以连读)。
2.在同一个意群中的两个单词,如果前面的单词以r或re结尾,后面的单词以元音音素开头,则r或re要发/r/音,并与其后的元音音素相拼。如:hereandthere连读时往往读作/。hiErEnd`TZE/。apairofshoes连读时读作/E`pZErEv`FU:z/.
（三）音的组合任何一个单词都是由音素的不同组合而成。
英语中，同一音节中两个或两个以上相邻的辅音结合在一起，这种结构叫做辅音群（或辅音连缀、辅音丛）。两个、三个辅音的连缀，在英语中是普遍的。像sixths/siksz/这样四个辅音的连缀却比较少。英语单词里，辅音连缀所出现的位置有一定规律，通常只出现在词首或词尾。值得特别注意的是，辅音群中，辅音之间决不能夹有元音;以不发音的元音结尾的词，朗读时，辅音后面也不能附加元音。
请注意以下几个方面:
（1）辅音群中的辅音之间不能加上中元音//。这是初学者常出现的错误，如:blue/blu:/读成/blu:/;flood/fld/读成/fld/。这种错误在三个辅音组成的辅音群中更常见。又
如:screen/skri:n/读成了/skri:n/。汉语中，声母/p/、/b/、/m/之后都加有元音。学英语时，这种中国式的语音习惯只有通过大量的练习来改变。练习英语发音时，我们可以将第一个辅音遮住，先读/kri:n/，再加/s/，读/skri:n/。
（2）在辅音 /r/的辅音群中，像/br/，/r/，/r/，初学者常把卷舌音/r/念成舌边音/l/。如:three/ri:/念成/lui:/。其原因是两个音在连接时舌尖没有及时地离开齿龈，作卷舌的动作。
（3）/s/ 3对爆破音，朗读/sp/、/sk/、/st/时，清辅音/p/、/k/、/t/不能念成送气音，而要将它们略微浊化，向/b/、//、/d/*近。而且朗读位于它们之前的/s/时，送气也不能太强。
（4）在以/l/ 另外一个辅音的辅音群中，有的学生不会读浊音的/l～/，而用//来替代。如:film/film/读成/fim/，world/w:ld/读成/w:d/。其原因是舌尖没有抵住上齿龈，舌后部未用力。还有一种是将舌尖卷曲发成浊音的/l～/。这也是不正确的。
（5）在一个辅音 /l/的辅音群中，有些同学往往在辅音与/l/之间加上一个中元音//。如apple/pl/读成/pl/。其原因是舌身在发音活动中移动太慢，舌尖没有及时移到上齿龈浊音的/l～/的位置。
（6）在一个辅音 /n/的辅音群中，有些同学感到困难的是“鼻腔爆破”辅音群/tn/和/dn/。有些人常在/t/、/d/与/n/之间夹中元音//:cotton/ktn/读成/ktn/。这样读的结果是没有实现鼻腔爆破，因为/t/、/d/、是从口腔内与//同时发出的。为了避免这样的发音错误，在/t/与/n/或/d/与/n/连读时，舌尖不要离开齿龈，这样舌身便把气流挡在口腔内，迫使它从鼻腔与/n/一同发出。
四.话语的节奏英语的话语如同音乐一样有一定的节奏。话语中的音乐像音乐的小节一样组成节奏群。每个节奏通常都会含有轻读音节与重读音节。在一个英语句子中，名词、动词、形容词和副词等实词常要强读，而介词、冠词、代词等虚词则一般弱读。英语的节奏规律是*重读音节与轻读音节的组合加重复来体现的。英语口语中的节奏基本体现在各个重读音节（用“”来表示）之间，其时距大体相同。英语是一种以重音计时的语言，各个重音与它跟随的若干轻读音节（用“·”表示）构成一个节奏群，有时一个节奏群是一个空拍（“<”表示）开始的（空拍在英语中也叫做“silentstress”）。节奏群用“/”来标识。我们用大致相同的时间来朗读每个节奏群。因此，为了真正取得节奏效果，碰到轻音少的节奏时，我们就可以念慢些，轻音较多的节奏群则必须念快一些。例如:daylight·/flashlight·.One/Two/Three/Four，/lets·/go/lets·/go.Peters·younger·sister·/leftthe·bagat·home.Thisis·the·/furnit·ure·.两个重音之间的轻读音节越多，我们在每个轻读音节上花的时间便越少。有时一个节奏群是以空拍开始，后面紧跟着几个轻音节，这样的节奏群常见句首或句子中需要停顿的地方。例如:He∧is·a·/student./Yes/Peter·，/he∧was·at·/home.
五.弱读单词在句中可以强读，也可以弱读，主要取决于上下文所表达的意思。有些英语单词本身具有两种或两种以上不同发音。以单词some为例，该词在重读或单独出现时，其元音的发音与单词sum完全一样。但是，当some在句子中作为非重读单词时，其元音就显得短而模糊。弱读音节中最常见的音是中元音//。一个单词在强读或弱读具有不同（两种或两种以上）发音时，这些不同的形式就叫词的强读式或弱读式。英语单词中有强读式和弱读式的单词大约有50多个，而且他们多出现在句子的非重读音节里。从词性上看，它们大多为单音节的限定词、助动词、动词be、介词、关联词和人称代词等。例如:some/sm/→/sm/→/sm/，have/hv/→/hv/→/v/;were/w:/→/w/，must/mst/→/mst，ms/→/mst，ms/;do/du:/→/d/→/du/→/d/，and/nd/→/nd，n/→/n/;of/v/→/v/→/v/，them/m/→/m/→/m/;we/wi:/→/wi/等。
六.音的连读在英语的实际运用中，人们常将属于同一意群的词连在一起，一口气说出来。意群中词与词之间不留空隙，这种读法叫“连读”（用“（”来表示）。
英语有三种连读形式:
（1）辅音（除了/r/、/w/和/j/）元音:单词末尾的辅音同下一个以元音开头的单词连读。例如:readi（t/ri:dit/，brushu（p/brp/。在朗读这种连读时，可以采用这样的技巧:把前面词的末尾辅音移到后一个词的开头来读。如:puti（to（n可读成/pu-ti-tn/。
（2）元音元音:前一个词的末尾元音和后一个词的起首元音连在一起读出，使它们中间不出现停顿。如:doit/du-it/，heatesome/hietsm/，轻轻地滑到下一个元音上。
（3）/r/ 元音:这一类连读分为词末连接音/r/和外加音/r/与元音的连读。a）单词末尾或音节末尾的r在英式英语中是不发音的。但是，在连贯话语里，如果这个单词后面紧跟着一个以元音开头的词，而且两个词在意义上密切相关且中间无停顿隔开时，就可能是原来不发音的字母r读为/r/，并同后一个单词的元音字首相连。例如:thereis/riz/，forever/f:rev/。b）为了避免让两个意义相关的比邻词的末首元音分立而读，我们通常在前一个词的结尾元音和后面单词的起首元音之间加上/r/音，这就是外加音/r/。如:ideaofit/aidirvit/，
thesofaoverthere/sufruv-/。七.语调我们说话时可以随意改变音高，使音调上升或下降。我们还可以像歌唱家那样突然抬高话语的音调。音调的这种上扬或下降叫语调。英语有两种基本的语调:升调和降调（分别用符号“.”、“∈”表示）。升降的过程可以是急促的，也可以是缓慢的，还可以形成不同的组合。说话人可以通过语调准确地表达各种信息。（1）升调:升调多用来表示“不肯定”和“未完结”的意思，比如一般疑问句，语气婉转的祈使句，以及用陈述句子形式表示疑问的各类句子。如:a）ShallItellhimtocomeandsee.you?（一般疑问句的正常语调）b）You.like.him?（用于陈述句形式的疑问句中，期待得到对方证实）
c）.Whathaveyougotthere?（用于特殊疑问句中，语气亲切热情）d）.Rightyou.are.（用于某些感叹句中，表示轻快、活泼、鼓励等意义）e）Shebought.red，.yellow，and.greenrugs.（用于排例句中，区别语义）（2）降调:降调表示“肯定”和“完结”。一般用于陈述句、特殊疑问句、命令句和感叹句中。例如:a）Swimmingismyfavourite∈sport.（用于陈述句表示肯定的意义）b）Whatdidyoufind∈there?（降调用于特殊疑问句表示说话人浓厚的兴趣）c）Tellmeallabout∈it.（语气较强的命令）d）Haveyougotthe∈tickets?（降调用于一般疑问句表示说话人的态度粗率、不耐烦或不高兴）e）How∈nice!（用于感叹句，表示感叹）英语中除了升调、降调这两种最基本的语调外，还有降—升调、升—降调、升—降—升调、平调等。我们掌握了基本的降升调后，可以查阅参考书，再增加这方面的知识
连读的条件：相邻的两词在意义上必须密切相关，同属一个意群。连读所构成的音节一般都不重读，只需顺其自然地一带而过，不可读得太重，也不可音。(连读符号：~)
(1)“辅音+元音”型连读
在同一个意群里，如果相邻两词中的前一个词是以辅音结尾，后一个词是以元音开头，这就要将辅音与元音拼起来连读。
I?m~an~English boy. It~is~an~old book. Let me have~a look~at~it. Ms Black worked in~an~office last~yesterday. I called~you half~an~hour~ago. Put~it~on, please.
Not~at~all.
Please pick~it~up.
(2)“r/re+元音”型连读
如果前一个词是以-r或者-re结尾，后一个词是以元音开头，这时的r或re不但要发/r/，而且还要与后面的元音拼起来连读。
They?re my father~and mother.
I looked for~it here~and there.
There~is a football under~it.
There~are some books on the desk.
Here~is a letter for you.
Here~are four~eggs.
But where~is my cup?
Where~are your brother~and sister?
但是，如果一个音节的前后都有字母r，即使后面的词以元音开头，也不能连读。 The black clouds are coming nearer and nearer.（nearer与and不可连读）
(3)“辅音+半元音”型连读
英语语音中的/j/和/w/是半元音，如果前一个词是以辅音结尾，后一个词是以半元音，特别是/j/开头，此时也要连读。
Thank~you. Nice to meet~you. Did~you get there late~again? Would~you like~a cup~of tea？
Could~you help me, please?
“音的同化”
—常把/d/+/j/读成/dV/，did you听上成了/dIdVu/，would you成了/wudVu/，could you成了/kudVu/。
(4)“元音+元音”型连读如果前一个词以元音结尾，后一个词以元音开头，这两个音往往也要自然而不间断地连读到一起。
I~am Chinese.
He~is very friendly to me.
She wants to study~English.
How~and why did you come here?
She can?t carry~it.
It?ll take you three~hours to walk there.
The question is too~easy for him to answer.
(5)当短语或从句之间按意群进行停顿时，意群与意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音与元音出现，也不可连读。
Is~it a~hat or a cat?（hat与or之间不可以连读）
There~is~a good book in my desk. （book与in之间不可以连读）
Can you speak~English or French? （English与or之间不可以连读）
Shall we meet at~eight or ten tomorrow morning? （meet与 at，eight与or之间不可以连读）
She opened the door and walked~in. （door与and之间不可以连读）

英语连读规则
“连读”在英语中叫Word Connections，借用法语的词汇时叫Liaison，读音为[li'eizn]——在这里要多说一句：从法语中借来的词读音一般都比较怪，一定要先查字典再去读它，免得搞错，比如debut['deibju:]
连读的意义
连读是语调中非常重要的一个组成要素。而语调是让别人更好听懂、更好理解的重要途径——语调的正确，比发音的准确还要重要。因为语调涉及的内容太多，而且很难用文字来描述，所以在这里只讲连读。
可能有人会认为连读会造成别人的理解困难，他们认为：还是把单词一个挨一个地读清楚更容易听明白。虽然这种说法明显是错误的，但是在这里我也不想浪费文字去反驳，读者们请自行决定是否要阅读或者离开。
一个例子
这里是一个连读的例子。在这个例子里，不仅仅有连读的存在，还包含发音的一些变化，请仔细分辨：
书写英语：They tell me that I?m easier to understand.
口语连读：theytellme thedaimeasier der-undersdand
连读的分类
英语中的连读主要有四种：
1）辅音+元音的连读（Consonant + Vowel）
2）辅音+辅音的连读
3）元音+元音的连读
4）T, D, S 或 Z + Y的连读
1. 辅音+元音的连读
一般来说中国人比较熟悉这种连读——前一个词由辅音结尾，后一个词由元音开头，于是就很自然地连起来了，比如：
My name is… [my nay?miz]
because I?ve. [b'k'z?iv]
pick up on the American intonation… [pi?k? pan the(y) ?mer'k? nin?t?nash?n] 不只是句子中，读字母缩写也可以连读：
LA [eh?Lay]
读数字时也可以连读：
902 5050 [nai?no?too fai?vo?fai?vo]
再来几个简单例子：
hold on [hol don]
turn over [tur nover]
tell her I miss her [teller I misser]
因为这种连读一般初中生都会，在这里就不详细介绍了，重头戏在后面，马上开演。
2. 辅音+辅音的连读
这个很难用文字描述，放到最后再讲。
3. 元音+元音的连读
如果前一个词是由元音[u]结尾，下一个词由元音开头，那么，在[u]后面加上一个辅音[w] 如果前一个词是由元音[i]结尾，下一个词由元音开头，那么，在[i]后面加上一个辅音[y] 只说规则似乎有点不好理解，看例子就明白了。
Go away. [Go(w)away]
在电影Big Fish中，巨人Carl说过这句话。因为巨人说话又慢又重，所以那个w很明显。 再来看一个例子：
I also need the other one. [I(y)also need thee(y)other one]
这种连读不能把辅音w或者j发得太重，否则会显得很傻，但是不发这两个辅音的话又会很难念得顺口。
go anywhere [go(w)anywhere]
so honest [so(w)honest]
through our [through(w)our]
you are [you(w)are]
he is [he(y)is]
do I? [do(w)I?]
I asked [I(y)asked]
to open [to(w)open]
she always [she(y)always]
too often [too(w)often]
4. T, D, S 或 Z + Y的连读
如果前面的单词是以T/D/S/Z结尾，后面的单词是以Y开头（一般是you这个词），那么有如下的连读规则可以使用。
4.1. T + Y = CH
What?s your name? [w?cher name]
Can?t you do it? [k?nt chew do(w)it]
Actually [?k·chully]
Don?t you like it? [dont chew lye kit]
Wouldn?t you? [wooden chew]
Haven?t you? [h?ven chew]
No, not yet. [nou, n? chet]
I?ll let you know. [I'll letcha know]
Can I get you a drink? [k'n?i getchew? drink]
We thought you weren?t coming. [we th? chew wrnt k?ming]
I?ll bet you ten bucks he forgot. [?l betcha ten buxee frg?t]
Is that your final answer? [is th?chr fin'l?n sr]
natural [n?chr?l]
perpetual [perpech?(w)?l]
virtual [vrch?(w)?l]
4.2. D + Y = J
Did you see it? [didj? see(y)it]
How did you like it? [h?o?j? lye kit]
Could you tell? [küj? tell]
Where did you send your check? [wεrj? senjer check]
What did your family think? [w?jer f?mlee think]
Did you find your keys? [didj? fine jer keez]

Congratulations! [k'ngr?j'lationz]
education [edj?·cation]

4.4. Z + Y = ZH

英语发音规则
一、 连读
连读有两种规则，分别为：
1、 以辅音结尾的单词+元音开头的单词：要连读
如：I?d li(ke a)nother bow(l o)f rice.
这里like / laik / 以辅音结尾，another 以元音开头，所以连读
注意：
以辅音结尾 指的是音标中的最后一个音是辅音，而不是单词的结尾，这如同u[ju:.]niversity前面的定冠词必须用a 一样。
2、以辅音结尾的单词 + h开头的单词h不发音，与前面的辅音
what wil(l he) [wili]do?
Ha(s he) done it before?
Mus(t he) [ti] go?
Can he do it?
Should he….?
Tell him to ask her….
Lea(ve him) [vim].
For him (连读这个词，会发现和forum 很相似)
我第一次知道这一连读规则时，兴奋不已，很容易的听懂了许多以前觉得很难以理解的句子， 并且按照这种连读方式发音省力、轻松了许多。再次证实”Economy”。
二、 音的同化
音的同化也是一种连读的现象，两个词之间非常平滑的过渡，导致一个音受临音影响而变化。主要是以下三种方式：
1、 辅音[d]与[j]相邻时，被同化为[dэ]：Would you....?
2、 辅音[t]与[j]相邻时，被同化为[t∫]： Can?t you:。。。。？
3、 辅音[s]与[j]相邻时, 被同化为[∫]： Miss you
三、 失音
由于失去爆破是失音的一种现象，摩擦音也会被失去，所以统称为失音。
注意：
爆破音并不是完全失去，仍然形成阻碍，把气流堵在里面，但不爆破，直接发出相邻的辅音。 规则：
1、 辅音爆破音或摩擦音后面跟的是爆破音、破擦音和摩擦等，前面的辅音要失去爆破。 这样的例子有很多很多， 红色标注的辅音不发音：
Sit down: 发音再次的老师都不会发出 [t] 音
Contact lens:
Big cake
Dad told me
Huge change
Good night
四、 浊化
1、[S] 后面的清辅音要浊化
Discussion： [k] 浊化成 [g]
Stand： [t] 浊化成[d]
Expression： [p]浊化成
2、美音中：[t] 在单词的中间被浊化成[d]
如：
writer， 听起来和 rider 的发音几乎没有区别
letter—ladder
out of
美国人和加拿大人发音为了省事，习惯清音浊化，尤其是[t]在单词的中间一定会浊化成[d]， 但英国人发音不会这样，这也是英音和美音的一大区别。 了解这一浊化原则，会给听力带来一些帮助。
五、 弱读
一般来说：
实词重读，如动词、名词、副词等；
虚词弱读，如介词、代词等
弱读的规则一般是：元音音节弱化成 [E] 或
比如说如下几个单词：for/to/some/does/of
查字典会发现这些词都至少有两种读音，如for: 重读时[fR:] , 弱读时 [fE]
六、 节奏
对于英语的节奏，我也把握不好，而且还为此郁闷不已。在我认为，中国人说普通化，一个句子的标准节奏和语调往往只有一个，我想英语也应该是这样，但是怎么样才是标准语调呢？特意为这个问题问过英语老师，不同的外国人说同一个陈述句会有不同得语调吗？她告诉我是的。不过在看了下面这段话之后，我想她可能误我了。:
老外教你“杀手锏”：注意说话的节奏
十年寒窗苦读英语，为谁辛苦为谁忙？当然是用来和老外“侃”喽。那外国人究竟如何看待中国人说的英语，他们说话有没有诀窍呢？记者请教了克里斯多佛?汉普顿---英国驻上海总领事馆的考官协调，他也是当天演讲比赛的裁判之一。
克里斯多佛一开口就指出了国人学英语最大的“软档”
“中国人喜欢在单词的读音上纠缠不休。尤其是年轻人，总希望自己能说一口标准的美式英语，最好是带点纽约口音的美式英语。于是，他们很努力地听广播、看电视，刻意模仿美国人的说话腔调。
经过长时间的磨练，有些人的发音甚至比土生土长的美国人还地道。但是，我就算蒙着眼睛，也能轻易分辨出说话的是中国人，还是美国人。因为中国人说英语没有节奏。”
克里斯多佛所说的节奏并不仅指说话的速度快慢，还包含了许多平时不被重视的小环节，比如语调的升降、词语的重音、句子在何处停顿。中学的中文语文书中倒是有过断句练习，可几乎所有的英语教科书里都没有类似的章节，也鲜有老师会教学生这一套。所以，大多人不知道，英语句子也有自己拆分的规则。发言者要么按照中文的思维习惯，随心所欲把句子“大卸八块”；要么练习肺活量，一句话从头连到尾不喘气。于是，中国人听起来清清楚楚的句子，到外国人耳朵里就变成了“不知所云”。
要改变这个习惯也不难。克里斯多佛认为，只要连续练习几个月，一个英语水平普通的人也能说出漂亮
