英语情景会话
(以下K代表Kent.J代表Jane)
K: Jane, so now you got a new one?
J: What?
K: A new boyfriend. I see him pick you up every morning.
J: You mean Jim? No. we are just sharing a car.
K: Car sharing? But why?
J: I don't want to take the crowded subway any longer.
K: You can buy a car yourself. Don't you have the driving license?
J: I got my driving license last month. I am a green hand now. What's more, I myself can't afford a new car.
K: Isn't taking taxi a better way?
J: It costs so much. And it is out of season now.
J: Yes, car pooling is very popular now. It can deal with increasing fuel costs and is also environmentally friendly.
K: It's not a bad idea.
英语笔记
1.这里 you 弱读作/je/，/j/与前面的/t/连读作/tʃ/，因此 don't you 读作/dəʊn tʃə/。
2.myself 反身代词需重读。
3.out of season 是指“过时了”。
4.and 弱读为/nd/，与 is 连读为/ndɪz/。
英语语音语调
反身代词要重读
英语口语中的反身代词如myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself等需要重读，正如文中的"I myself can't afford a new car."其中myself需要重读。又如：
The old man himself fell down and hurt his head.
老人自己摔倒了，头部受伤。
其中himself需要重读。
We'll solve this problem ourselves.
我们自己来解决这个难题。
其中ourselves需要重读。
但是，反身代词在作宾语的时候无需重读。如：
The old man fell down and hurt himself.
老人摔倒受伤了。
其中himself在句中作hurt的宾语，无需重读。
