流利英语小技巧5-:/t/被吞音--I don’t want it. 解决听力的关键。

这是问题其实对口语影响不大, 但严重影响听力。

当/t/被夹在两个辅音之间时,就被忽略不说了。否则的话,三个辅音连在一起,说起来太麻烦。

In everyday speech, when a /t/ sound comes in between two consonant sounds, we often don't pronounce it. This is because it makes the words flow together more fluently. It's more difficult to say three consonants together in a row when /t/ is in the middle. Your mouth has to do too much work. 'I can't do it' is more difficult to say than 'I can't do it'. When a sound disappears in between two words, it's called elision. Here are some other examples:

  1. Sorry, I can’(t) do that.

  2. I can’(t) stand the rain.

  3. It mus(t) be time to leave

  4. Am I the firs(t) person here?

  5. I don’(t) want it. 

  6. I mus(t) go.

对听力的影响:否定句里听到的其实是 I do want it. 所以要根据语境来判断。当听到 do/can 时要提高警惕,因为要表达的很可能是否定的语气。
