注意一下:除content word外 (名詞,動詞,形容詞,副詞,指示代詞),其他的詞(介詞,連詞,代詞,冠詞,等)如果不是強調,都輕讀。下麵該輕讀得都用斜體標出來了:
`This is the `V`O`A `Special^`English `Economics Re`port.
`Here are some^of the `top eco`nomic `stories^of `two thousand `ten. The `world `continued to `struggle with^a `slow re`covery from the `financial `crisis two years earlier. `Greece ad`mitted to `bigger-than-expected `budget deficits. In`vestors `punished Greece with `much` higher borrowing `costs. The `sixteen `countries that `use the `euro `joined the Inter`national `Monetary `Fund in `offering `loans of^about one hundred forty billion `dollars in `May.
變音:
Of = > / v/
符號表示:
^ 表示連讀:some^of
Italics 表示輕讀, 例如 to
` 重讀音節:`two
_ 失去爆破:thousand, 這個‘d’讀得很輕,可以隻作它的發音動作,不發出聲音來。
