今日发音练习重点

1. darkness 词内/k/失去爆破处理，词尾-ness两可发音/nəs/ /nɪs/，且注意不要卷舌；

2. through/θruː/词首辅音连缀，发音时在辅音连缀之间不要带出不存在的音；

3. twilight/ˈtwaɪlaɪt/包含两个音节，且都包含双元音/aɪ/，发音时注意双元音的滑动感和饱满度。

活学活用

请用 (be) far away from...随意造句

向上滑动阅览

Hush

Through the endless daydream

I saw you on the way back

There I walked with you in my arms

Through the blurry darkness

Who's veiling on the twilight

We've been far away from my fears

Somewhere else I'll see you

Our days be like a blossom

Blooming all around you so bright

By and by I'll miss you

And your laugh like a sunshine

Fading into shadow of tears

All around me is your light

With you everything so shines

How come we'll leave all behind

Cause your love is falling on my heart

And I'm falling for you

Falling with broken wings again

Hush now my angel I will always be with you

In your pretty smile in a glow of tears

Out across the frosty night

I'll be there with you

Maybe someday you'll wake up alone without me

But don't cry again I'll be waiting here

Where the moon is on the rise

As the olden days

I could just go with you between our time

Where they can't find us somehow

You could just come away with me out there

Where we could dream away all day

Hush now my angel I will always be with you

In your pretty smile in a glow of tears

Out across the frosty night

I'll be there with you

Maybe you'll always breath in me ever in my heart

All the little pieces of you look how they shine above

Come away with me tonight

We'll be dreaming away there

Maybe you'll always breath in me ever in my heart

All the little pieces of you look how they shine above

Come away with me tonight

We'll be dreaming away there

Always
