K: Wow, it's so comfortable to step on the soft sand.

S: Look at the' sandcastle. It is big, isn't it?
K: It's a pity the wave will wash it away.

K: Great idea! But I just put on sun block lotion.
S: OK, let's walk along the beach. It's also fun playing on the sand.
英语笔记
1.这里Susie 只是想得到 Kevin 的证实，并非提到疑问，所以要用降调。
2.wash sth. away 是指“把……冲走”。
3.tide 中的/d/遇到辅音/k/失去爆破。
4.during/ˈdjʊərɪŋ/中的/d/与/j/在单词内部相遇时，同化为/dʒ/，口语中读作/ˈdʒʊərɪŋ/。
英语语音语调
/d/失去爆破
你听到的When does the tide come in中的tide似乎是/taɪ/而不是/taɪd/，这是因为tide后单词的首字母音是辅音/k/，所以tide中的/d/出失去爆破，因此tide就读成了//。
再如：
He is a good boy.
他是一个好孩子。
其中good读作/ɡʊ/。
I found my ball under the bed.
我在床下找到了我的球。
口其中found读作/faʊn/。
I can't afford this new car。
我买不起这辆新车。其中afford读作/ə'fɔ:/。
