[/font][font=Batang]附註："safe and sound" 的發音並不是一個字一個字[/font][font=新細明體]唸[/font][font=Batang]，而是將 and 中的 "d" 不發音，並將 "an" 與其前面的子音 (在此[/font][font=新細明體]為[/font][font=Batang] safe [/font][font=Batang]中的 "f") 連音，所以實際的讀音是 "sa - fan - sound"。英文有不少類似 "safe and sound" 這種使用兩個詞性相同的字、中間用 and 連接起來的固定搭配，[/font][font=新細明體]它[/font][font=Batang]們有些有連字號，有些沒有，但不管有無連字號，[/font][font=新細明體]它[/font][font=Batang]們實際的讀音大多如上述，如 "cloak-and-dagger"、"hard-and-fast"、"ins and outs"、"up and about"、"spick-and-span" 等等；當然[/font][font=新細明體]啦[/font][font=Batang]，如果 "and" 前面那個字的字尾是母音，那[/font][font=新細明體]麼[/font][/color][/b][font=Batang][b][color=black]就不會有這種連音的情況發生。讀者若能把握這原則，並勤加練習，對於聽力的提升也會有所助益的。這種固定搭配在英文中叫做 "binomial"。

[/font][font=Batang]附註：這句成語中，ha'porth = halfpennyworth，o'tar = of tar。[/font][font=新細明體]它[/font][/color][/b][font=Batang][b][color=black]原來是寫成 "spoil the sheep for a ha'porth of tar"，即「不願花半便士買焦油醫治羊傷而導致羊死亡」。有些地方將 sheep 的音發成 ship。
