我经常听到咱在多伦多的中国同胞发地名人名有以下几个误区:
1. Wellesley: don't say " well-le-s-li", say "'wel-s-li";
2. Markham: don't say "mark-'ham", say " 'ma:(r)-km";
3. Graham: don't say "gran-ham", say "gram";
4. Scarborough: don't say "ska-'bo-'ro", say "'sk'a-bre"
5. Richmondhill" don't say " 'rich-mond-'hill",
say " 'richmonhill", 重音在前面,一个词连读, 不是分开的两个词. downtown 也是同理, 是一个词,只能有一个重音, 在前面.
6. Mississauga: don't say " mi:-si-sa:-ga:", say "mi-si-'sa-ge" or "mis-si-'so:-ge"
练习重音,次重音, 弱音的正确位置,要拿长的单词来练: 比如 mathe,ma'tician, s,impl'icity, ser,ed'ipity. 总之,一定要记住一个词里面,只能有唯一一个重音.
还有就是不要象东欧人那样把 -ing 里面的 "g" 尾音发得很重, 很难听. 这个应该是一个后鼻音, 在喉咙深处藏着,不要到舌尖下吐出来, 没有 "格" 这样明显的辅音的声音.
