XI. Очень большое количество слов в английском языке читаются не по правилам чтения. Например, слова have и give и т.д. мы никогда не прочитаем по правилам чтения, так как мы их слышали. Поэтому всегда полезно вначале произнести слово, а потом прочитать.

Давайте вспомним стихотворение.

 

When the English tongue we speak,                                     ea Why is “break” not rhymed with “weak”?             [breik]   [wi:k] Will you tell me why it’s true                                               ew We say “sew” but also “few”?                                  [sou]     [fju:]

When we want to make a verse,                                            or We can’t rhyme a “horse” with “worse”.                 [hÉ:s]   [wз:s] “Beard” is different from “heard”,                                      ear “Lord” is not pronounced like “word”.                    [biəd]    [hə:d]

“Cow” is cow, but “low” is low;                      ow                   o      “Do” is never rhymed with “go”.          [kau]    [lou] [du:] [gou] We have “year” and “hear” and “pear”,                      ear “Come” and “home” and “are” and “care”. [jз:]      [hiə]   [pεə]                                                                           ome                are                                                                 [kΛm] [houm] [a:] [kεə]

So, why “done”, but “gone” and “stone”?                          one Is there any reason known?                              [dΛn]    [gÉn]  [stoun] And, in short, it seems to me, Sounds and letters disagree.
