英语笔记
1.up to you 表示“由你决定”。
2.need 的/d/失去爆破，to 弱读为/tə/，need to 读作/nɪ tə/。
3.mid-range 是更正信息，需要重读。
4.on an 连读作/ɒ nən/。
英语语音语调
更正信息需要重读
当一方说错某件事，另一方更正对方的错误时，需要强调正确的信息，这时正确的信息就要重读。如：
A: Do you lose your purse again?
你又把钱包弄丢了?
B：No.I keep it in my pocket.
没有，在我包里呢。
我没有“弄丢”，而是“放在”包里了，所以keep要重读。)
A: I will come here again on Thursday.
我星期四再来。
B：You should come on Tuesday.
你应该星期二来。
(强调不是“星期四”来，而是“星期二”来，所以Tuesday要重读。)
