连读的条件：相邻的两词在意义上必须密切相关，同属一个意群。连读所构成的音节一般都不重读，只需顺其自然地一带而过，不可读得太重，也不可音。(连读符号：~)

      (1)“辅音+元音”型连读

      在同一个意群里，如果相邻两词中的前一个词是以辅音结尾，后一个词是以元音开头，这就要将辅音与元音拼起来连读。

      I’m~an~English boy.
      It~is~an~old book.
      Let me have~a look~at~it.
      Ms Black worked in~an~office last~yesterday.
      I called~you half~an~hour~ago.
      Put~it~on, please.
      Not~at~all.
      Please pick~it~up.

      (2)“r/re+元音”型连读

      如果前一个词是以-r或者-re结尾，后一个词是以元音开头，这时的r或re不但要发/r/，而且还要与后面的元音拼起来连读。

      They’re my father~and mother.
      I looked for~it here~and there.
      There~is a football under~it.
      There~are some books on the desk.
      Here~is a letter for you. 
      Here~are four~eggs.
      But where~is my cup?
      Where~are your brother~and sister?

      但是，如果一个音节的前后都有字母r，即使后面的词以元音开头，也不能连读。

      The black clouds are coming nearer and nearer.（nearer与and不可连读）

      (3)“辅音+半元音”型连读

      英语语音中的/j/和/w/是半元音，如果前一个词是以辅音结尾，后一个词是以半元音，特别是/j/开头，此时也要连读。

      Thank~you.
      Nice to meet~you.
      Did~you get there late~again?
      Would~you like~a cup~of tea？
      Could~you help me, please?

      “音的同化”

      常把/d/+/j/读成/dV/，did you听上成了/dIdVu/，would you成了/wudVu/，could you成了/kudVu/。                 

       (4)“元音+元音”型连读如果前一个词以元音结尾，后一个词以元音开头，这两个音往往也要自然而不间断地连读到一起。

      I~am Chinese.
      He~is very friendly to me.
      She wants to study~English.
      How~and why did you come here?
      She can’t carry~it.
      It’ll take you three~hours to walk there.
      The question is too~easy for him to answer.

      (5)当短语或从句之间按意群进行停顿时，意群与意群之间即使有两个相邻的辅音与元音出现，也不可连读。

      Is~it a~hat or a cat?（hat与or之间不可以连读）
      There~is~a good book in my desk. （book与in之间不可以连读）
      Can you speak~English or French? （English与or之间不可以连读）                 
      Shall we meet at~eight or ten tomorrow morning? （meet与 at，eight与or之间不可以连读）
      She opened the door and walked~in. （door与and之间不可以连读）

      失去爆破6个爆破音有3对/p/，/b/，/t/，/d/，/k/，/g/

      失去爆破，又叫不完全爆破，就是在某些情况下，只须做出发音的准备，但并不发音，稍稍停顿后就发后面的音。

      (1)“爆破音+爆破音”型

      6个爆破音中的任意2个相临时，前一个爆破音会失去爆破，即由相关的发音器官做好这个发音的姿势，稍做停顿后即发后面的爆破音。

      The girl in the re(d) coat was on a bla(ck) bike jus(t) now.
      The bi(g) bus from the fa(c) tory is full of people.
      Wha(t) time does he get up every morning?
      This is an ol(d) pi(c)ture of a bi(g) car.
      The ol(d) do(c)tor has a ca(t), too.
      We’re going to work on a farm nex(t) Tuesday.
      What would you like, ho(t) tea or bla(ck) coffee?

      You can put i(t)  down in the bi(g) garden.
      I bought a chea(p) book, but it’s a goo(d) book.

       (2)“爆破音+摩擦音”型如果前面是爆破音，其后紧跟着某些摩擦音（如/f/，/s/，/W/，/T/等），那么前面那个爆破音仅有十分轻微的爆破，而后面那个摩擦音则要完全爆破。
