英语语音语调
will you，will he.will she，will it的读法
Will you accept my arm中的“will you”不是读作/wɪljʊ:/而是读作/wəljə/。因为will you发生了弱读和连读。在疑问句中，语流较快，will就会念成/wəl/。于是will he，will she，will it也就发生了相应的变化，如：
Will he be free tomorrow?
他明天有空吗?
口语中发音接近/wəlɪ/。
Will she be back next week?
她下周回来吗?口语中发音接近/wəlʃɪ/。
Will it take long to get there?
到那儿去要很长时间吗?
口语中发音接近/wəlɪt/。
