失去爆破

当一个爆破音后面紧跟着另一个爆破音时, 前面的爆破音不发生爆破。方法是: 对于前一个爆破音, 只作发音的姿势, 刚要发出时, 立即发出第二个爆破音, 这种现象叫失去爆破。

爆破音 + 爆破音→失去爆破 (爆破音6个: /p, b, t, d, k, ɡ/)例如: wan(t) to ;  an(d) devotion

注意: 连读现象只出现在意群内部, 意群与意群之间的两个相邻单词即使符合上面所讲的两个条件, 也不连读。

译文:

勾画我的多彩世界

每个人都需要柔情

来寻找内心的交流

因此在我现在的生活中注入一点爱

每个人都需要庇护

让我们一起用一点时间(来寻找)

投入我的怀抱

让他们告诉你我想说什么

勾画我的多彩世界

映在我心中

照一张你认为是爱的照片

就像你想象中的那样

在我的心中写下

你所知道的一切

用你所听见的每一个语句

来勾画我的多彩世界

我已经受够了不信任

生活已经变得毫无意义

我想要真实的(生活)

当我跟你在一起时我就能感受到它的存在

让我们发誓来(奉献)彼此的爱

我心中的爱会坚持

直到最后

那就是我让你心动的地方

所以请你

勾画我的多彩世界

映在我心中

照一张你认为是爱的照片

就像你想象中的那样

在我的心中写下

你所知道的一切

用你所听见的每一个语句

来勾画我的多彩世界

让我们构建一个你我的世界

一个我们永远不会离开的(世界)
