英語(yǔ)情景會(huì)話
(以下s代表Salesman.M代表Mary)
S: Can I show you anything, miss?
M: I'd like to see a new skirt for the party.
S:Here are some latest styles. How do you like this one?
M: I like this style, but the color doesn't fit me.
S:What about this one? Its design is fashionable and attractive.
M: It looks well. But I don't like nylon, I like pure cotton. Oh, I have an eye on that long white skirt.
S: You have a good taste. This kind of stylish dress sells well.
M: Can I try it on?
S: Of course.This way, please.
(After Mary tries it on)
S: Wonderful! It looks just good on you. It will make you look perfect in the party.
M: Very good. I'II take this one.
英語(yǔ)筆記
1.口語(yǔ)中此句常讀為/aɪdəʊnt'laɪk/。
2.have an eye on sth. 意思是“喜歡某物,看上某物”。
3.it 的/ɪ/被省略,it與on連讀,try it on的發(fā)音為/traɪ tɒn/。
英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)
I don't like…
你聽到的don't like讀成/dəʊnt'laɪk/?谡Z(yǔ)中當(dāng)詞尾是t,下一個(gè)詞詞首是輔音時(shí),/t/會(huì)弱化到幾乎聽不到。只能聽到中間的停頓或是很輕的發(fā)音,接近于do like,但是結(jié)合語(yǔ)境,不會(huì)造成誤解,所以/t/就被省略了。類似的情況有很多,比如:
I didn't watch /dɪdnˈwɒtʃ/ yesterday's football game.
我沒有看昨天的球賽。
I can't tell /kænˈtel/ you the secret.
我不能告訴你這個(gè)秘密。
