弱读英语中大约有50个最常用的单音节词，如a, of, from, as,and等，他们每个词都有两种不同的读音。一种形式叫强读。另一种形式叫弱读。例如，from的强读形式是/frm/,弱读形式是/frm/,as的强读形式是/ z/ ，弱读形式是/z/。1.弱读形式不同与强读形式，因为 1）弱读形式和强读形式各自的元音不同。 2）弱读音节中常常省略了某一个音。2.大多数有弱读形式的单词中，元音都变成了/ /，例如： at / t/ ; as /z/; had / hd/ must /m st/3有少数几个单词的弱读形式变成了i/ be /i/ been /bin/ me /mi/ the /i/4.有时，一些常用词的弱读形式中省略了一个元音。例如： am /m/ has/z/ have /v/ is /z/5. 有时，一些常用的弱读形式中省略了一个辅音。例如： and / n/ have / v/ would / d/ her / :/要在连贯说话中应用弱读形式，不是懂得了道理就能学会的，也不是一朝一夕就能掌握的，需要通过大量的模仿和练习才能学好。下面所列的是常用单词的弱读形式和例子：朗读下列句子，注意弱读： to /t/ but /bt/I want to come but I cant. 1) and /nd/ Hes rich and famous. 2) than /n/ /n/ Better than that.
