/d/在一个原因后,辅音/b/前,变音成后面的/b/,其实就相当于省略了。

In everyday speech, when we’re speaking fluently, if one word ends in a vowel sound followed by a /d/ and the next begins in a /b/, then the /d/ changes to a /b/ and then merges with the /b/ from the following word. So ‘speed boat’, becomes ‘speebboat’.


  1. My son is a really good boy.

  2. I’m sorry if I was rude before.

  3. My car had to be towed back to the garage.

  4. You should buy him a present.

  5. He said if I was a good boy hed buy me a boat.

相同的道理,还有在/k/之前的/t/的省略:

In fluent speech, when one word ends in a vowel sound followed by a /t/ and the next word begins with a /k/, the /t/ changes to a /k/. So /kredɪt kɑːd/ becomes /kredɪk kɑːd/. It's an example of assimilation. And here are some more examples:


  1. Don't let it get cold!

  2. You have to do it quickly.

  3. There's no short cut to learning a language.

  4. I didn't like that cake.

  5. If you want to maintain your street cred, then the only way is pay by phone.

相同的道理,还有在/k/, /g/之前的/d/的省略:

In fluent speech, a /d/ changes to a /g/ when it comes before a /g/ or a /k/. So 'bad girl' becomes 'bagirl'. This is an example of what is called assimilation. Here are some more examples:


  1. He’s a really good cook.

  2. Last night we had guests for dinner.

  3. Can you print out the hard copy?

  4. I’d love to walk down the red carpet one day.

相同的道理,还有在/p/之前的/t/的省略:

In fluent speech, if one word ends in a /t/ sound and the next word begins in a /p/ sound, the /t/ is pronounced slightly differently. In fact, we pronounce it as if it were almost a /p/ sound. So 'white piece of paper' becomes 'whi(te) piece of paper'.


  1. That's a white piece of paper.

  2. There are lots of great parks in London.

  3. I love split pea soup.

  4. I hate potatoes.

  5. My mate picked us up from the airport.

  6. Sometimes I think I have a split personality.
