第24期:Where should we eat?我们在哪里吃饭?
「晨读音频」
Hey guys! Welcome to my channel, I’m Grace. Good morning!
欢迎来到我的频道,我是Grace老师,早上好呀!
As we all know, bread is the staff of life. Today we’re gonna listen to a dialogue about eating at a restaurant and giving some great recommendations and suggestions.
我们都知道啊,民以食为天。今天我们要听一个关于谈论去餐馆吃饭,并给出一些很棒的建议和意见。
However, when we go to a restaurant to eat, we need to make sure that the food there is safe enough since we do not want to have any experience of food poisoning that will make you feel very sick.
然而,当我们打算去餐馆吃饭的时候,我们要确保那里的食物是安全的,因为我们都不想有食物中毒的经历,那可是非常难受的。
Okay, now let's see if anyone gets any food poisoning in a restaurant in this dialogue.
好的, 现在让我们看看在这个对话中有没有人在餐馆里食物中毒了。

「重要发音技巧」
Welcome back. Now let’s learn some important tips of pronunciations.
欢迎回来。现在让我们学习一些重要的发音技巧。
1. 语调
语调是帮助我们表达各种思想感情的重要途径,英语语调的基本类型有降调、升调和平调。
降调表示说话人的态度肯定、意思完整、语法结构独立。
升调表示说话人的态度不肯定、意思不完整、语法结构不独立。
平调一般用于直接引语后面,表述所说的话,音高没有高低的变化。
在意义比较复杂的句子或意群中,往往结合了三种基本语调,构成升降调或者降升调,而使语调变得复杂。
美国英语比英国英语更平民化,它的语调也更趋于自然,较少故意的抑扬顿挫;英国英语语调则起伏较大。不同的语调可以表示说话人不同的态度和不同的隐含意思。英语中同一句话采用不同的语调会产生截然不同的语意概念。
例如:“yes”,若用降调,表示说话人对所回答的问题十分确定;若用升调,表示对问题有疑问。语调具有强烈的感情色彩,它使语言更丰富、更有表现力。
那么在本节课中我将着重讲解升调和降调。
(1) 降调
例如文章中有一句话:It sounds fantastic. ↘️听起来很不错。
(2) 升调
用于一般疑问句。正如文章开头:Do you two have any plans for the evening? ↗️ 晚上你们俩有什么计划吗?
2. 弱读
弱读是一种发音规律,就是元音不饱满时,所有的元音都弱读成 /ə/。
文章中"You gotta give them a try.",这里的gotta后面的a是元音但不饱满,弱读为/ə/,所以gotta 读作为[ˈɡɑːtə]。
gotta = have got to/must/ have to 不得不,必须
I gotta go home. 我得回家了。
但是第三人称单数不能直接用gotta, 因为he, she, it 等第三人称单数后面加的是has got to,所以我们可以用:
he has gotta = he’s gotta
she has gotta= she’s gotta
gonna = going to
be going to
I’m going to take a shower.
= I’m gonna take a shower.
我要去洗个澡。
wanna= want to
I want to go home.
= I wanna go home.
我想回家。
注意:"wants to"不等于"wanna",当主语是he/ she/ it 等第三人称单数时,只能用wants to。
注意:gotta, gonna, wanna都是美语中非正式的用法。
如果你要写论文,报纸新闻等较为正式的文章是不可以这样使用的,必须把所有单词写完整。
例如:You gotta give them a try. 必须写成“You have got to give them a try. ”。
