听力技巧

我们来学习0分17秒的这一句
I’m gonna try to get home by six.

gonna重读的话是读[ˈɡɔnə], 弱读的话是读['ɡənə].

今天的听写中有很多处gonna, 可以好好注意一下这个词, 非常高频, 在不同的句子里去听懂它, 认识它, 感受它, 熟悉它.

我第一次知道[ə]这个音叫做schwa sound的时候, 我纳闷为什么只有这个音有个名字呢?

后来明白了, 因为这个看似非常容易的音其实是一个很难的音.

不是说发准它难, 而是说几乎所有的单元音如果想要弱读, 都可以弱读为schwa, 从而对听力造成巨大的障碍, 所以我想它才有了一个属于自己的名字吧.

有童鞋会把gonna和gotta混淆, 这两个一定得区分开, 不然你会误解说话人的意思.
