How and when do we link vowel sounds with a /w/?

如何以及何時我們會將 W 與後面的母音連讀 ？

That's what you'll learn in this video.

這支影片就是要教你這個

English with Jennifer

與 Jennifer 一起學英文

I asked how and when we link with a /w/.

我剛剛問到如何以及何時我們會將 W 與後面的母音連讀

And there's your first clue.

這是你的第一個線索

"How" is spelled with a final W.

How 在拼寫上最後一個字母是 W

And it ends with an "ow" diphthong.

而在讀音上是以 ow 雙母音做結尾

So allow your lips to form the /w/

所以讓你的嘴巴發出 Ｗ 的音

and release it into the following vowel sound.

並將它融入接下來的母音中

"owand"

"owand"

"how and"

"how and"

"how and when"

"how and when"

There are three vowel sounds that link with the help of a /w/.

這裡有 3 個母音，連讀後就像有 W 的發音在其中

The first you already know.

第一個你已經知道了

The diphthong "ow." As in "how and when."

ow 雙母音，就像例句中 "how and when."

Second, the long U..."blue"..."blue and"..."blue and white."

第二個，長母音 U ，"blue"，"blue and"，"blue and white."

And the long O..."no"..."no one."

最後是長母音 O，"no"，"no one."

Listen closely.

仔細聽

I'll say a sentence or phrase.

我會說一句短句

You try to understand.

試著去瞭解發音規則

Note that some might also say:

做個小註解，有時候也會說

She's nice t' others.

She's nice t' others.

And it sounds like they drop the vowel sound in "to" altogether.

聽起來就像省略了 to 中的母音，與後面的 o 連在一起

We'll talk more about this word in a later lesson.

這個字在後面的課程會說得更清楚

Let's go on.

讓我們繼續

That's all for now.

以上是今天的課程
