A syllable can be formed by a "consonant + vowel" combination within a word. Within the same *thought group*, if a word *ending in a consonant* meets a word *beginning with a vowel*, the final consonant of the first word and the initial vowel of the second word *may well* blend together when spoken, sounding as if they form a single *syllable*, which is often referred to as *linking*.

比如在 *People's opinions vary from individual to individual.*<span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/sentence-opinions-vary-alloy.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/sentence-opinions-vary-nova.mp3"></span> 在这句话中,*People's* 末尾的 `z` 和 *opinions* 开头的 `ə` 会连在一起,`/piː·pəl·zə·ˈpɪ·njənz/` —— 感觉上是在读一整个由 *5* 个音节构成的词汇一样……

For instance, when saying *People's opinions vary from individual to individual*<span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/sentence-opinions-vary-alloy.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/sentence-opinions-vary-nova.mp3"></span>, the `s` at the end of *People's* and the `ə` at the start of *opinions* seamlessly connect, making it sound like a five-syllable word: /pi-pəl-zə-ˈpɪ-njənz/. It feels as if you're pronouncing a single, lengthy word.

之前提到过,在美式英语里,`t` 有个特殊的现象,它夹在两个元音之间的时候会被浊化,被读成弹舌音,用 `t̬` 表示,听起来接近 `d`…… 比如,在 city `/ˈsɪt̬i/`<span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/city-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/city-us-female.mp3"></span> 这个词汇里, `t` 就夹在两个元音之间。

It is previously mentioned that in American English, the `t` sound has a unique characteristic. When it's sandwiched between two vowels, it's often voiced with an *alveolar flapping*, creating a sound very close to `d`. This is represented as `t̬`. For example, in the word *city* `/ˈsɪt̬i`/<span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/city-us-male.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/city-us-female.mp3"></span>, the `t` is between two vowels.

在自然语流里,同一个意群中,经常会出现以 `t` 结尾的词汇后面跟着一个以元音开头的词汇,并且,`t` 的前面是元音的概率也很高,所以,词汇之间出现 `t` 的浊化弹舌音 `t̬` 的情况非常普遍。比如,*Get it done.* `/ɡet̬ ɪt dʌn/`<span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/sentence-it-done-alloy.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/sentence-it-done-nova.mp3"></span>

In natural speech flow, it's common to find a word ending with `t` closely followed by a word beginning with a vowel within the same thought group. Furthermore, there's a high possibility that the `t` is preceded by a vowel. Therefore, the occurrence of the flapped `t̬` between words is incredibly prevalent. For example: *Get it done.* `/ɡet̬ ɪt dʌn/`<span class="speak-word-inline" data-audio-us-male="/audios/us/sentence-it-done-alloy.mp3" data-audio-us-female="/audios/us/sentence-it-done-nova.mp3"></span>

`l` 构成的连读,对绝大多数人来说,难点在于,如果前一个单词末尾的 `l` **舌尖动作不够完整**的话(即,结束的时候舌尖没有贴到龈脊)那么,`l` 这个弹舌音就发不出来,无法与后面的元音连上…… 尤其是在没有纠正掉用嘴唇动作替代舌尖动作的错误(乃至于有 `ʊ` 的音色)的情况下。

The challenge of linked speech involving `l` lies in the tongue's movement. If the tip of the tongue does not make complete contact with the roof of the mouth at the end of a word ending in `l`, it's difficult to produce the appropriate sound for the subsequent flapping `l` with the following vowel. This is especially true if the habit of substituting the movement of the lips for the action of the tongue hasn't been corrected, leading to a sound colored by `ʊ`.

初学者容易矫枉过正,想把一切自己遇到的词汇间 “辅音 + 元音” 的组合连起来读…… 请注意,是**很可能**连起来读,但**并不一定**。首先,这多少与个人讲话的习惯有关。更为重要的是,讲话的时候要划分**意群**,意群之间要有**暂停**(*pause*)—— 前一个意群末尾的辅音和下一个意群开头的元音,不应该连读。
