英语笔记
1.as 的/z/ 与 this 的/ð/发音相近，/z/不发音，因此读作/æðɪs/。
2.can't wait to do sth. 意思是“等不及做某事”。
3.take 尾音省略，some弱化，连读为/teɪsəm/。
4.exactly 中的/t/消音，读作/ɪgˈzæklɪ/。
5.be worth doing sth.意思是“值得做某事”。
英语语音语调
“辅音集团”中间音的消失
“辅音集团升是指三个及三个以上集中出现的辅音，例如：strengths/ˈstreŋθs/中的/ŋθs/、extinct/ɪksˈtɪŋkt/中的/ŋkt/都属于辅音集团。在口语中，很难将辅音集团中的每个音都发清楚，因此中间的辅音常常省略不发音。如：
asked /ɑ:skt/:辅音集团/skt/中的/k/一般不发音，口语中读作ɑ:st//。
exactly /ɪgˈzæktlɪ/：辅音集团/ktl/中的/t/ 一般不发音，口语中读作/ɪgˈzæklɪ/。
