Part 2 Pronunciation and intonation
发音讲解
So,in the sentence "Thanks,but no thanks.",pay attention to the pronunciation of these parts.
在这一句中，注意以下部分的发音：
1.In "thanks",always remember to press your up-per teeth with the tip of your tongue,and make the/θ/sound.Also,the/ks/sound should not be divided and become something like/kəs/,it should be quick and crisp:/ks/,for example:thanks,books,makes.
1.在 “thanks” 的发音中，一定要记住用舌尖压住上牙，发出/θ/这个音。另外，/ks/这个音不能分开发出来，不要发成/kəs/，要快速而清脆：/ks/，例如，thanks （谢谢），books （书本），makes （做）。
2.The "t" in the word "but" should definitely be weakened,even left out.Make it sound more like/bʌ/:but no thanks.
2.“but” 中 “t” 的发音一定要弱读，甚至可以去掉。让它听起来更像/bʌ/：but no thanks。
Now,let's focus on tone and intonation,and say the entire sentence with hesitation.And the first"thanks" comes with a higher tone than the second one.The word "but" is basically toneless.
现在，我们重点看看语气和语调，以一种犹豫的感觉说出这个句子。第一个 “thanks” 的音调高于第二个，“but” 基本上没有声调。
So,now you know how to say this sentence like a native speaker.
现在，你知道怎么像英语母语人士一样说这句话了。
