Look at the following sentences:
He has to go to work at eight.
They used to go to bed at six.
You’ll have to do it all again.
I saw her standing all alone.
I know you didn’t mean to hurt.
Their rhythm pattern is similar to this:
• • • • • • • •
He has to go to work at eight.
• • • • • • • •
I know you didn’t mean to hurt.
时间有限，准备仓促；录音没有说太清楚。
主要两点：这四组发音单位从最重要的音节开始（第一组），它们的发音依次递减；而最后一组的重要单词的音量（volume）稍微抬高以配合句子的结束。
