中文发音讲究“字正腔圆"，而英语发音存在着大量的连读、略读、变音和语音语调的变化。作为英语学习者，只要掌握这些发音规则变化并加以模仿练习，一定能在口语和听力方面收到事半功倍的效果，并练就一口地道的口语。
- 连读–发音规则
1.辅音 元音
一句话中相邻的两个单词，前一个单词以辅音结尾，后一个单词以元音开始，拼读成“辅音 元音”。
1.far~away
It's not far~away from here.
2.in~an~hour
I should be there in~an~hour.
3.later~on
I'm going to see a movie later~on .
4.put~it~on
Here's your sweater. Put~it~on.
5.stand~up
Stand~up and stretch for a while.
6.take~care~of
I'll always take care~of you .
7.take~it~easy
Take~it~easy! Everything is going to be fine.
8.take~off
Please fasten your seat belt. we will take~off shortly.
9.there~are
There~are forty students in my class.
10、work~out
I work~out every day to keep fit.
11.come~on！cheer~up！
12.keep~it~up！
13.never give~up！
14.I mean~it.
15.I've got~a lot~of work to do.
16.May I have~a cup~of milk?
17.What do you think~of~it？
2. 元音 元音
一句话中相邻的两个单词，前一个单词以元音结尾，后一个单词以元音开始，则在两个元音之间加上一个轻微的 [j] 或 [w] 的音，拼读成“元音 [j] 或 [w] 元音”。
[i:]或[eɪ]结尾的元音 [j] 元音
1、see us→see [j] us
Come and see~us again soon.
2、be over→be [j] over
It will be~over soon.
3、be able→be [j] able
Will you be~able to come tomorrow?
4、say it →say [j] it
Could you say~it again please?
5、pay Ann →pay [j] Ann
Please pay~Ann her salary.
以[u:]或 [əʊ] 结尾的元音 [w] 元音
1、do it→do [w] it
Don't do~it again.
2、go up→go [w] up
Let's go~upstairs and have dinner.
3、show us→show [w] us
Can you show~us something else.
注：元音与元音的连音是一种自然滑过后带出来的音。当你的发音接近流利时，你会发现不用刻意去发 [j] 和 [w] 就可以有效果，所以尽管放松地去练习，模仿是第一老师。
3.省略【h】的连读
以“h”开头的单词 [h] 音近乎省略。因为 [h] 发音特殊——只是出气没有摩擦，所以拼读时好像被省略了。
1、Does~he know?
2、What~happened？
3、Please give~him a hand！
- 略读规则–发音规则
英语中六个爆破音：[p] [b] [t] [d] [k] [g]
爆破音和爆破音相邻，第一个爆破音只形成阻碍，但不发生爆破，称为失爆，略读时并不是把整个音丢掉，而是发音时点到为止，有口型不发音或轻微发音；爆破音和其他辅音相邻，该爆破音不完全爆破。英语语音中的失爆和不完全爆破现象，我们简称为“略读”。
1·略读规则 爆破音 爆破音=失去爆破
六个爆破音中任意两个相遇，一个爆破音后紧跟着另一个爆破音时，前面一个音点到为止，形成阻碍，但不发生爆破，第二个音完全爆破；
若第二个爆破音在词尾，则必须轻化。
以一个爆破音结尾并以同一个爆破音开始时，只发一次音，前一个音只做好发音准备而不发音，直接发第二个音。
单词内失爆
1.active=a(c)tive [k] [t]
2.blackboard=blac(k)board [k] [b]
3.dictation=di(k)tation [k] [t]
4.football=foo(t)ball [t] [b]
5.goodbye=goo(d)bye [d] [b]
句子中失爆
6.Stop talking！=Sto(p)-talking!
7.I don't care.=I don'(t) -care.
8.I had a bad cold.=I had a ba(d)-cold.
爆破音[t]和[d] 鼻辅音[m]和[n]
爆破音[t]和[d]后面紧跟鼻辅音[m]和[n]，[t]和[d]形成阻碍，在词末必须通过鼻腔爆破；发音时，舌尖紧贴上齿龈，稍放开立刻贴回，从爆破音到鼻音舌位不变，让气流通过鼻腔冲出，在词中则不完全爆破。
[t]和[d] [m]和[n]
1. Britain [tn]
2、certain [tn]
3、frighten [tn]
4、admire=a(d)mire [d]=[m]
5、admit=a(d)mit [d] [m]
6、goodness=goo(d)ness [d] [n]
7、Good morning!=Goo(d)-morning!
8、Let me take a look.=Le(t)-me take a look.
9、I don't know what to say.=I don'(t)-know what to say.
爆破音[t]和[d] 舌边音[l]
爆破音[t]和[d]后面紧跟舌边音[l]，则必须由舌两边爆破，这种情况多发生在词尾。爆破音爆破音[t]和[d]后面紧跟清晰舌边[l]，则为不完全爆破。
[t]和[d] [l]
1.battle [t] [l]
Any soldiers were killed in the battle.

3.At last, we made it to his party.=A(t) last, we made it to his party.
爆破音 摩擦音/破擦音=失去爆破
当爆破音后紧跟着摩擦音和破擦音时，该爆破音形成阻碍，但不完全爆破。
摩擦音：[f][v][θ][ ð][s][ z][ ʃ][ ʒ ][h][r]
破擦音：[ts]-[dz],[tr]-[dr],[tʃ]-[dʒ]
单词内失爆
1.advance=a(d)vance [d] [v]

- 断句
当句子较长时，人们会觉得很难一口气把话说完。这时，可以按语义和语法的关系把句子分为若干段，每一段就是一个意群。换句话说，意群就是可以构成一个相对独立意思的一段，是组成句子的部件。
意群和意群之间可以有一定的停顿，这种停顿和人们的思维活动是一致的。但一个意群中的各个单词之间则不可停顿，整个意群读下来就像一个长单词一样。记住：英语不是一个词一个词地说的。
- 句子的重音
句子重读的一般规则
在连贯的话语中，不可能所有的词都同样重要，必须有些词较为关键，有些词则相对次要一些。一般来说，关键词需要重读，这就是句子的重音，而其他词则不必重读。或者可以说成：实词重读，虚词不重读。
一般需要重读的词（实词/关键词）：
实义动词、名词、形容词、副词、数词、疑问词和感叹词等。
- 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。
