英语的话语节奏是重音之间的间隔时间大致相等。因此，根据英语的节奏规律，说一个英文句子所需的时间长短不取决于句中的单词数或音节数，而是取决于句中有多少个重读音节。

In the sentence "I wanted to connect you, but you were out.", which places can be linked?

Linking is natural in English speech. To make natural linking, it is important to say groups of words in one breath and keep your voice going from one word to the next.

In the sentence "Peter is going to watch movie tonight.", which words should be read weakly?

Linking can make one's expressions more fluent, native and natural.

语言最主要的社会功能就是作交际工具。

Both linking and rhythm are important for good English pronunciation.

动物没有人类意义上的语言，人类语言具有社会性，是要通过与社会接触才能学会的，而动物的鸣叫等是先天遗传的，不是语言。

文字是辅助语言交际的工具，对语言交际起辅助作用。
