美语的发音规则重读。
通常句中的实义词（名词、实义动词、数词等）是句子的关键词，携带重要信息应重读。
如在"Y ou have finished the job."一句中，"finished"和"job"一般重读；有时为表达特定的含义，把重读放在本不该重读的词上。
如上一句话，把重音放在"have" 上，则含有说话人未料到你已完成了工作的意思。
弱读。
英语中的介词、冠词、连词等虚词有两种读音：一种为强读形式，用于单念和连贯言语；另一种为弱读形式，用于言语的轻读。
轻读表现在元音的弱化上，如"at"[?t]弱化为[эt]。
口语中语气越随便，语流越快，弱化现象越频繁，也就越难懂。
同化。
一个音受临音影响而变化的现象就是同化。
如辅音[d]与[j]相邻时，被同化为[dэ]，辅音[t]与[j]相邻时，被同化为[t∫]。
英美发音差异。
英美发音体系不尽相同，在某些方面差异很大。
如当字母a位于辅音[s]、[θ]、[f]、[m]、[n]前时，美音为[?]，英音为[a]；在英音中，字母"r"只有在元音前是才发音，在元音后一般不发音，而美音中，一般均发卷舌音[r]；字母组合"wh"在英音中，为[w]，美音则为[hw]等。
五大发音要点我们将复杂的（complicated）语音规则总结成五大发音要点，使一般人都能掌握（master）。
它们是：长元音和双元音饱满；短元音急促有力；连音；略音和咬舌头。
一、长元音和双元音饱满鬼鬼祟祟的英文就是鬼鬼祟祟（sneaky; lousy）的元音造成的！只要把元音发饱满（full; plump）,你的英语立刻会变得悦耳动听。
那些英美流行歌手就是元音饱满的典范！1. Mike likes to write by the nice bright light at night.2. Macao came back to China in 1999.3. I like the shape of that mountain. 〔包含了四个容易混淆的元音〕二、短元音急促有力4. Jim must study a little bit more.5. Let's get together again.三、连音6. I'm working on-it.7. I'll think-it-over.四、略音第一条规则：以某音结尾的单词+同音开始的单词--只发一次即可！8. Y ou ate-too much.9. I don't know what-to-do. 〔两个辅音连接，只读后一个〕第二条规则：以〔t〕，〔d〕，〔k〕，〔g〕，〔p〕和〔b〕+以辅音开始的单词前面的发音“点到为止”，舌头达到发音中位，但不送气！10. Lend-me your black-bag.11. I don't-like-people asking me for money.12. Do you want-that-magazine?13. Do you need-that-pencil?14. Ask-Bob-to sit-behind-me.15. Would you mind-giving me that-red-book?五、咬舌头16. There are thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty-three feathers on that bird's throat.17. Neither father nor mother likes this weather.18. It's the same thing.19. Something is better than nothing.20. Father and mother went through thick and thin.地道美国味速成最能体现“美国味”的发音都集中在下面的句子中。
其实做到很容易，只要你在练习的时候，尽量夸张（overdo, exaggerate）你的发音和口型，尽量放纵，尽量发泄，尽量慢，尽量拉长你的元音，并一口气读完整个句子。
