最近在看電視劇版的 功夫熊貓:《蓋世傳奇》,發現裡面有很多實用的詞彙和句型,而且語速適中,比較適合練習聽力。所以花了些時間整理了一下里面的知識點。
S01E01
Lines:
Shifu: Panda, you're next.
Ten seconds to get to the other side unscathed.
Po: Catlike reflexes.
Monkey!
Monkey: Two points for Monkey.
Lights out, Po.
Get off me.
Po: Po, five. Monkey, four.
Monkey: You can't count that.
Po: Sure, I can.
Shifu, that was a point, right?
Shifu: I don't care about your childish score-keeping, Panda.
Monkey, that was a deceitful, underhanded attack.
Good work.
The point of sneak-attack training is to do the unexpected.
Po: What?
Shifu: See? Unexpected.
Tigress, you and Crane are next.
Crane: Master Shifu, can we take five so I can go sterilize my beak with hot coals?
Pronunciation
you can't count that.
t 是一個非常弱的音,一般來說,只要它後面出現輔音,t就會被吞掉。既然 t 不發音,那麼如何區分 can 和 can't呢?主要是根據重音和是否弱讀來判斷。can 在句子中往往弱讀成 [kən] ,不重讀,而是重讀動詞。而can't不能弱化,而且需要和動詞一起重讀。
現在你能分清 you can 和 you can't 了嗎?
