Part 2 Pronunciation and intonation
发音讲解
So,in the sentence,pay attention to the pro-nunciation of these parts.
在这一句中，注意以下部分的发音。
1."If you" and "end up" are blended.
2.The/p/in "keep" is not pronounced.
1.“if you” 和 “end up” 连读。
2.“keep” 中的/p/不发音。
3."You'll"/juːl/ends with/l/,so be sure to say it differently than "you".
3.“you'll”/juːl/以/l/结尾，确保发音跟 “you” 不同。
4."Them" is reduced to "em",so say it like plucking'em/ˈplʌkiŋəm/.
4.“them” 弱读为 “em”，读起来像plucking'em/ˈplʌkiŋəm/。
5.The/ð/in "with" is not pronounced.
5.“with” 中的/ð/不发音。
Now,let's focus on tone and intonation.
1.These words are stressed:"keep" "no" and"left".
现在，我们重点看看语气和语调。
1.重读 “keep” “no” “left”。
2.Say it with an impatient and concerned tone,because you're talking about the negative conse-quence of what she's doing.
2.以不安或关心的语气来说这个句子，因为你们谈论的是她的行为的负面后果。
