今日发音练习重点

1. deal 包含易错难发音组 /iːl/，元音口型要紧张，词尾不卷舌；

2. hill & build 包含相同的音组/ɪl/，元音口型松弛，词尾舌侧音不要丢；

3. running up that road 注意词间、词内连贯，up 和 that 尾音的/p/和/t/失去爆破处理。

Running Up That Hill

Kate Bush

It doesn't hurt me
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you wanna hear'bout the deal that I'm making?
You
It's you and me
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
See if I only could, oh

Youdon't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware I'm tearing you asunder
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Well tell me, we both matter,don't we?
You
It's you and me
It's you and mewon't be unhappy
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
Be running up that building
Say, if I only could, oh
You
It's you and me
It's you and me won't be unhappy
Oh c'mon, baby, c'mon darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling
Let's exchange the experience, oh
And if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
And I'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
See and if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
AndI'd get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
So if I only could
I'd make a deal with God
AndI'd get him to swap our places
I'd be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
So if I only could
Be running up that hill
With no problems
If I only could,I'd be running up that hill
If I only could,I'd be running up that hill
