实例: batter, bitter, butter, caterpillar, city, hotter, latter, letter, matter, meeting, meter, relative, sitter, sweater, water, whatever

That always makes me happy.= Thad always makes…

Put it in the desk.=pud id in the desk.

若“t”在重读音节上，a’ttack,I’talian“t”只发“t”音。

2. “t”在“元音+r”后面（After a “vowel + r” sound (sometimes called “r-colored vowel’)实例: barter, charter, comforting, dirty, quarter, thirty

3. “t”在“al”或者“le”（国际音标/əl/）之前。（Before syllabic /l/; in other words, before the unstressed “ul” sound (International Phonetic Alphabet: /əl/）

实例：battle, bottle, capital, fatal, hospital, rattle, metal, turtle

4. 在短语和句子里面，词尾的t在后面接重读元音开头的单词。

实例：know it all, meet Alice, not on, What are you doing?

注意：2和3和4实际是1的变式，基本原理都是t在两个元音之间。

下面的单词在口语中发音是一样的！！

atom = Adam

betting = bedding

bitter = bidder

coating = coding

futile = feudal

greater = grader

hearty = hardy

latter = ladder

matter = madder

metal = medal

petal = peddle

rated = raided

seating = seeding

title = tidal

traitor = trader

wetting = wedding

writing = riding

1. “t”在非重读音节上, t+ schwa "ə"+n的时候，换句话说，Glottal Stop “t”在国际音标/ən/前面。（Before a syllabic nasal, spelled t + vowel + n. In other words, the glottal stop occurs before an unstressed “un” sound (International Phonetic Alphabet: /ən/)

实例： beaten, bitten, Britain, button, certain, cotton, curtain, eaten, forgotten, fountain, gluten, gotten, important, kitten, Latin, Manhattan, mitten, rotten, satin, written

2. 辅音前的“t”在一个单词或者一个音节的末尾，发声门闭锁音。（When a word or syllable ends with a “t” just before a consonant sound.）

实例：football, I can’t go, atlas, curtly, flightless, football, hate mail, greatness, right now, seat belt, settler, treatment, “What can you say?”, witless

注意：在以-ct,-ft, -lt, -st, -pt辅音群为尾的单词里，t发real “t"。或者后面链接的字母词首位元音。t是flap”t"。

3. -nt结尾的单词，比如environment, sent

4. d在两个辅音之间，d”为held "d"。这里完全不发音是指口型舌头位置都要做，唯一不做的就是不去发音。grand piano, stand for. 或者d在单词末尾。I found a blue and white card.=I found a blue an’ white car.

1. 词首的“t”。（When the word starts with “t”.）

实例：table, take, talk, tango, tap, tea, teach, tear, teeth, tell, ten, tie, time, tongue, too, took, top, touch, toy, traffic, train, tree, trend, triangle, trip, trouble, true, try, turn

2. “t”刚好在重读音节上。（At the beginning of a stressed syllable.）

实例： a’ttack, a’ttend, between, eighteen, eternal, Italian, mistake, particular, participant, photography, retire, return

3. “t"在以st-, tr-,str-辅音群为首的单词里，或者在以-ct,-ft, -lt, -st, -pt辅音群为尾的单词里。

t在两个辅音之间

一种情况在单词（名词&动词）复数和名词所有格上经常出现。比如：

product's, facts, gifts, protects，attempts

另外一种情况是以辅音群s+t结尾的单词，后面接辅音为首的单词，t完全不发音。比如

just said, just lucky, best place, best choice, best man

must be, must not, most funny, most qualified, most common

almost made it, almost done, almost forgot

suggest we try, last night, last chance, last day

记住exactly=exactly

注意这里辅音是指发音而不是单词，比如nights中的t仍然要发音。注意r和元音一起也算是一个r colored vowel，整体算是一个元音，所以starts，flirts，supports中的t都要发音。

第三种情况：t在非重读音节首位，而该音节前面一个音节以n结尾。比如：

sentence=senence

winter=winer

internet=inernet

international=inernational

wanted=waned
