　　J: No wonder I see it many times a day.

　　C: Do you often chat online?

　　J: Yeah, I find it eng to talk with strangers.

　　C: I can't believe you are so into charting with strangers. It's dangerous.

　　J: Easy, man. But it's actually interesting to meet different people this way.

　　C: Anyway, be careful not to give out your personal information.

　　J: Don't you often chat online?

　　C: My friends and family are those I often chat with.

　　J: You will hear and see them with a headphone and a web camera.

　　C: Yes. Thanks to the Internet, we can chat with people wherever they are.

　　英语笔记

　　1.of 弱读作/ə/，因此heard of 连读为/hɜ:də/。

　　2.be into sth. 表示“对……深感兴趣”。

　　3.介词with 位于句尾，表强调，需重读。

　　4.hear 的/h/消失，will hear 读作/wɪlɪə/。

　　英语语音语调

　　/h/消失后的连读

　　以字母h开头的单词，如果它之前的单词词尾是辅音，那么/h/一般就会消失，前一个单词词尾的辅音与/h/后的元音连读，正如对话中的will hear连读后就读作/wɪlɪə/，而不是/wɪl hɪə/。再如：

　　for him读作/fə rɪm/。

　　don't have读作/dəʊn tæv/。

　　come here读作/kʌ mɪə/。
