蘭卡嚴格說來不算是標致的“美女”，但她可愛的板牙、深深的酒窩都為她贏得了許多忠實的粉絲。作為一位創(chuàng)作歌手，蘭卡的歌總是古靈精怪、充滿了天馬行空的想象力。

蘭卡在這首歌里對英語中常見的“連音”進行了很好的詮釋。所謂“連音”是native speaker在日常說話時語調(diào)不自覺加快所出現(xiàn)的一種連讀現(xiàn)象，掌握好連音能夠使你的發(fā)音變得更為自然。連音主要有以下幾種形式，結(jié)合從歌詞中摘出的例子，對照mv，好好體會一下吧！

1. 輔音+元音：輔音與后面的元音相連發(fā)音

such a heavy weight on you
weight on由于連音聽起來就像weigh ton

you’re gonna ravel in hate
ravel in由于連音聽起來就像rave lin

the world will fall apart
fall apart由于連音聽起來就像fal lapart

so we’re gonna skip along
skip along由于連音聽起來就像ski palong

2. 輔音+輔音（相同）：兩個相同的輔音連在一起只讀一次就可以

so tired of feeling blue由于連音聽起來就像so tire do feeling blue，仿佛of丟掉了一樣。如果你讀出of，就會比蘭卡慢半拍哦。

3. 輔音+輔音（不同）：兩個不同的輔音連在一起，則前一個會變得很輕

in the big bad world由于連音big的g幾乎是聽不到的。

4. 元音（r或re結(jié)尾）+元音：后面元音前要多一個r的音

to bring us down but so far away由于連音聽起來就是far raway了。

Lyrics

So tired of feeling blue.
such a heavy weight on you.
So shake it off and make your way
to somewhere different.
to somewhere different.
Oh no now you’re leaving me
oh what will you do all alone
in the big bad world?
but I'm not worried, no.
Cause you’re gonna skip along,
Quite merrily, baby.
you’re gonna ravel in hate.
and what’s goin' on?
And you’re like a sugar ball
and oh how will you come
no I will come and you just skip along.
Were so oblivious.
Comes natural to us.
Keep smiling knowing all the while
the world will fall apart.
the world will fall apart.
ah, ah
so we’re gonna skip along,
Quite merrily, baby.
we’re gonna ravel in hate.
and what’s goin' on?
And you’re like a sugar ball
and oh how will come
no I will come and we
just skip along.
Wouldn't it be lovely to be home? oh
safe and sound and no one around
to bring us down but so far away.
So I am gonna skip along,
Quite merrily, baby.
I’m gonna ravel in hate.
and what’s goin' on?
And I am like a sugar ball
and oh how will come
no I will come and i
just skip along.
Yeah we are gonna skip along
Quite merrily, baby.
we’re gonna ravel in hate.
and what’s goin' on?
And you’re like a sugar ball
and oh how will you come
no I will come and we
just skip along.
just skip along.
just skip along.
la ti da
No I will come if we just skip along.
