要使说话流利,除了学会弱读和失去爆破以外,还有一个重要的朗读技巧就是连读。把第一个词词尾的音和第二个词词首的音连起来读,这种现象叫做连读。
连读用╰╯来表示。例如:

以下几种情况要连读:
1.如果前一个词以辅音结尾,后一个以元音开头,这两个音有时可以连起来读。例如:

2.如果前一个词以元音结尾,后一个也以元音开头,这两个音中间有时可以连起来读(连音之间有一个很短的过渡音/w/或/j/)。

3.如果前一个词以元音/ a:/ /ɔ/ /ɔ:/ /ə:/ /ə/ / iə/ /εə/ / uə/结尾,后一个以元音开头,朗读的时候可以在两个音中间加上一个/r/音,这种现象叫做/r/连读。这类连读只有部分人使用。如果感到较难,可以不使用。例如:

练习
1.朗读下列短语,注意连读:
a block of flats the corner of the street
a tin of peas the top of the mountain
a piece of cake in a foreign country
a glass of water an instant success
a cup of tea such a short time
nice clear air send it by mail
an English girl wait a moment
a nice idea a lot of noise
a visit to India once in a while
an apology a waste of time
made up of not in the least
in America war and peace
out of date out of Africa
wait and see Death on the Nile
have a rest Alice in Wonderland
time's up The Wizard of Oz
a mother of three Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
2.对下列短文作语音分析,首先标出重音、连读和失去爆破或不完全爆破的音节,然后反复练习朗读:
When an American today says "my family is coming to visit," he or she is using family to include cousins, uncles, grandparents, or any other relatives who do not live with him or her. That is, this person is using family the way it was used 150 years ago when the majority of Americans were farmers. In that earlier time, of course, three or more generations lived under one roof — grandparents, their children, their children's spouses, and their children's children.
Yet family is a very vague word. It can mean, for example, the speaker's parents, who do not live with him or her. On the other hand, it can mean uncles and aunts, nieces and nephews, first and second cousins, or even in-laws. As a result, the expression immediate family has come into use. It means something between the narrowest use of family and the broadest one: usually the grandparents, their children and their children's children.
