英语笔记
1.some 的弱化，读作/səm/。
2.or 的弱化。连读为/kɒfiəti:/。
3.注意 thin/θɪn/与thing/θɪŋ/读音的区别。
4.dessert “甜点”与 desert “沙漠”形似，注意两个词之间的区别。
英语语音语调
容易混淆的/n/与/ŋ/
/n/与/ŋ/在发音时很难区分：发/ŋ/时，舌后抬起贴住软腭，软腭下垂;而发/n/音时，舌尖紧贴上齿龈，形成阻塞，这时音标类似于汉语中的前后鼻音。如：
thin/θɪn/薄的—thing/θɪŋ/事情
gone/ɡɒn/去—gong/ɡɒŋ/锣
lawn/lɔ:n/草坪—long/lɒŋ/长的
son/sʌn/儿子—song/sɒŋ/歌曲
