20、连读。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。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。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。语言基础集释探究新知发展语言知识(教材P38)Why do you think William said his hometown was similar to Qufu?你认为为什么威廉说他的家乡和曲阜很像
