of→ a

    of在自然语速下就发作 a的音，但还是要提醒一句：如果 of 需要强调突出，
那么它仍然念做 of .

    Listen to each part of the conversation ： first spoken with careful
（slow） pronunciation； then spoken with relaxed （fast） pronunciation.

    JULIE ： The party's tonight. I've invited a lot of people.

    SHOKO ： Then ， let‘s go shopping. It ’s already a quarter of three.

    JULIE ： You‘re right. It’s late. Let ‘s make a list.

    SHOKO ： Okay. We need a case of soda.

    JULIE ： Right. We also need a bag of pretzels.

    SHOKO ： What about a few bags of chips ？

    JULIE ： Okay. And a couple of packages of cheese for the dip.

    SHOKO ： Great. Your cheese dips are always so good.

    JULIE ： Thanks. We need a couple of other things ， too.

    SHOKO ： Wait. I don‘t have my credit card. Do you have yours？

    Listen to the entire conversation again ， spoken with relaxed（fast）

    pronunciation.

    注：对话中提到了一个cheese dip，就是“奶酪酱”，dip 做名词时有“调
味汁”的意思。
