he / his / her:h 不见了
How do fluent speakers say 'he, his, her'?
he、him、his、her 在句子中间、跟在辅音后面时,开头的 h 通常不发音:I really like his cooking 读成 I really li-kis cooking。
规则
If the word 'he' comes at the beginning of a sentence or clause, the /h/ sound is pronounced. But if it comes in the middle of a sentence or clause and after a consonant, the /h/ sound is not usually pronounced. This also happens with him, his and her.
看位置:He looks like he's had an accident 里有两个 he。第一个在句首,h 照常发音;第二个在句子中间、前面是 like 的 /k/,h 就省掉了,成了 like-e's。
h 一省,前面的辅音就直接连到后面的元音上(第 1 课的辅音接元音):let him 读成 le-tim,offered her 读成 offe-der。所以这些词常常「听不见」。
例句:点 ▶ 听原声,跟着读
