英语笔记
1.前一个单词的尾音与后一个单词的首音相同，第一个/t/不发音，读作/rɪ'zɪstemp/。
2.pull one's leg 指“跟某人开玩笑”。
3.diet pills 是指“减肥药”。
4.That's 的/ts/与your 的/j/连读为/tʃ/，that's your 连读为/ðæ tʃ ɒ/。
英语语音语调
/ts/+/j/的连读
你听到的that's your的发音并不是/ðæts jɒ/，而是/ðæ tʃ ɒ/，这是因为/ts/与/j/发生了辅音与辅音的连读，变成了另外一个辅音/tʃ/，这是辅音与辅音相遇的一种变音情况。
再如：
I like its yellow paint inside.
我喜欢它里面漆成黄色。
its yellow/ɪts'jeləʊ/→/ɪ'tʃeləʊ /.
That's your task today.
这是你今天的工作。
that's your /ðæts jɒ/→ðæ tʃɒ//。
