Part 2 Pronunciation and intonation
发音讲解
So,in the sentence,pay attention to the pro-nunciation of these parts.
在这一句中,注意以下部分的发音:
1.This sentence is divided into three parts,so be sure to pause after "out" and "all".
1.这句话分为三个部分,注意在 “out” 和 “all” 后面停顿。
2.When you say "I'd go out",first leave out the "d" in "I'd",and try putting a/w/sound be-tween "go" and "out",since it's the natural way of linking any word that ends with the sounds/u/or/uː/with the vowel sounds after them.
2.读 “I'd go out” 时,首先“I'd” 中的 “d” 不发音,然后试着在 “go” 和 “out” 中间加一个音素/w/,因为这是将以/u/或/uː/结尾的单词后的元音连读最自然的读法。
3.“and” 应该弱读成/n/。
3."And" should be reduced to/n/.
4.All the words in "blow it all" are linked."blow" and "it" are linked the same way as are"go" and "out".And when linking "it" and "all",the/t/in "it" should be softened to/d/.
4.“blow it all” 需要连读,“blow” 和 “it” 的连读方式与“go” 和 “out” 相同。并且当 it”和 “all” 连读时,“it” 中的/t/听起来应该被弱化为/d/。
Now,let's focus on tone and intonation.
现在,我们重点看看语气和语调。
1.Make sure to really emphasize "huge",make it really long,because you're talking about how big the shopping spree would be.
1.一定要重读 “huge” 并发长音,因为你在强调疯狂购物的程度。
2.“blow” 需要重读并拉长。
2."Blow" needs to be stressed and stretched.
3.“shopping spree” 是一个复
3."Shopping spree" is a compound noun,so put the stress on the first word "shopping",not"spree".
合名词,所以把重音放在第一个词“shopping” 上,而不是 “spree”。
4.这句话的语气要表现得很激动,因为你在想象自己有钱可以买任何想要的东西。
4.The sentence needs excitement in it,be-cause you're imagining being rich enough to buy whatever you want.
现在,多加练习,你就能学会像英语母语者一样说这句话了。
Now,practice,and you will learn to say this sentence like a native speaker.
