同化:d 碰到 you

Assimilation: /d/ before /j/

d 后面跟着 you(或其他 /j/ 开头的词)时,d 和 /j/ 合成一个 /dʒ/,就是 jam 开头那个音:Would you 读成 wouldja,Could you 读成 couldja。

规则

In fluent speech, when one word ends in a /d/ sound and the next begins in a /j/ sound, the two sounds come together and change to a /dʒ/ sound. The vowel in 'you' can also change to schwa.

Tim 在视频里出了个谜:一块木头(wood)加一头母羊(ewe,读音同 you),合起来是什么?wood + ewe = would you。d 和 /j/ 碰在一起,舌头来不及分开发,就合成了 /dʒ/。

you 本身也常弱读成 /jə/,所以 would you 最终听上去是 wouldja /wʊdʒə/。did you、had you、need you 都一样。

例句:点 ▶ 听原声,跟着读

上方的小音标:在句子里实际读成这个音
Would you/wʊdʒə/ do me a favour?
能帮我个忙吗?
I'm sad you/sædʒə/ decided to quit.
你决定辞职,我挺难过的。
Could you/kʊdʒə/ get here by midnight?
你能在午夜前到这儿吗?
Should you/ʃʊdʒə/ see him, can you give him a message?
万一你见到他,能帮我带个话吗?
I don't think the gold you/gəʊldʒə/ bought was real.
我觉得你买的金子不是真的。
Would you/wʊdʒə/ give a guy a break?
能放我一马吗?
Alex 提示:Did you 读成 didja、would you 读成 wouldja,在美剧里一样常见,而且语速一快会更短:Didja eat? 听懂这几个高频组合,问句的理解会轻松很多。
