「重要发音技巧」

Alright, now let’s look at some pronunciation tips in this dialogue.

好的，接下来我们来看看对话中的发音要点。

1. Hey daddy! You look great today.

略读分析：

look great：look的爆破音/k/遇见了great的爆破音/g/，look的/k/只做口型, 不发音，稍做停顿后随即发出后面的爆破音/g/, 读作/ lʊ(k) / / ɡreɪt /；

great today：great的爆破音/t/遇见了today的爆破音/t/， great的爆破音/t/只有口型，不要发音，稍做停顿后随即发出后面的爆破音/t/, 读作 / ɡreɪ(t) / / təˈdeɪ /。

复述：

Hey daddy! You look great today.

2. I haven’t even told you what it is yet!

辅元连读：

haven’t even：haven’t 的 /t/ 和 even的 /iː/ 连读，读作/ 'hævnt / / ˈiːvn /。

what it is ：这三个单词直接有两次辅元连读；

what 的 /t/和it的 /ɪ/，读作/ wʌt / / ɪt /；

it 的 /t/和 is的/ɪ/连读，读作 / ɪt / / ɪz /；

所以what it is 连起来读作/ wʌt / / ɪt / / ɪz /。

辅音和半元音连读：

told you 之间，told的/d/遇见了you的/j/, 变成/ dʒ /这个音。

复述：

I haven’t even told you what it is yet!

3. Okay, okay, what do you want?

略读分析：

what do：what的/t/遇见了do的/d/，/t/只有口型，不发音，读作/ wʌ(t) / / duː /。

例如：

What do you like ?

What do you see?

What day is it today?

复述：

What do you want?

「核心单词掌握」

Aright, let’s take a look at the vocabulary in “language takeaway”.

We’ve got a few interesting words here. Let’s see the first one.

有几个很有趣的单词，让我们来看看第一个。

1. hottest / hɑtɪst / adj. 性感的；受欢迎的；很棒的

（hot - hotter - hottest ）

So, this is the superlative of hot.

hottest是的hot的最高级形式。

So, if somebody is hot, they are really attractive.

所以当我们说一个人很hot，就是说这个人很有吸引力。

文章中：

He’s like the hottest and most popular guy at school!

他就是学校中最酷，最受欢迎的人！

You can also use it for things.

这个词也可以来形容事物。

例如：

- I got a new car!

我买了一辆新车！

- Wow! That’s hot!”

哇哦！很酷！

But we should be careful with this word.

但我们应该小心的使用这个词。

You don’t really wanna go up to somebody and say “You’re hot”.

不要真的走上前去告诉别人 “You’re hot”。

Because it is not very polite.

因为这样不是很礼貌。

Okay. Let’s move on to the next word.

好的, 我们来看下一个单词。

2. most popular 最流行的；最受欢迎的

Popular means having a lot of friends or being well-known.

popular 意味着有很多朋友或者很出名。

In every school there’s always like the most popular guy, the most popular girl.

每个学校都有最受欢迎的男生和女生。

例如：

Now he is among the most popular artists in the world.

现在他是世界上最受欢迎的艺术家之一。

This is one of our most popular designs.

这是我们最受欢迎的设计之一。

Alright. Our last word.

好的，我们最后一个词。

3. fine then 好吧

Let’s see some examples, so we can understand the meaning.

我们先来听一些例子就能理解它的意思了。

例如：

Fine then! If you won’t go with me I’ll go by myself.

Fine then! If you want to break up I don’t care.

好吧，如果你想分手，我不在乎。

You want to go out with your friends? Fine then! Go!

你想和你的朋友们出去？那好！去吧！

So, you would use this when you agree with somebody, but you’re not really happy about it.
