11、 Feeling the rhythem of the neutrals

Visualize this at first as a consonant e x ~ e r i m e n t ; simply play the drumbeats,

首先，设想e x ~ e r i m e n t 这个音，像是简单的打鼓点；

and feel the neutral vowel as the shortes possible voiced linkage between the two consonants:

感觉作为两个辅音之间比较短的声音连接，即中性元音；

• Play these drumbeats or tympani beats in a series of four quick taps,
以4个快音的方式，击打这些鼓或者定音鼓；
with a feeling of syncopated rhythm, very much like a quick brisk 4/4 tune-
感受切分的节奏，非常像轻快的4/4调
put- pit -pet -putt
put -pit -pet -putt
and repeat them briskly and clearly about three times in rhythmic fashion.
并且轻快的清晰的有节奏的重复三次。
• Let your whole body respond to a rhythmic staccato or syncopated "sparky" feel inside you.
让你的整个身体对于有节奏的断音做出反应，或者你内心有活力四射的感觉；
Note the different spellings for the following neutrals,
and don't worry if some of the examples aren't real words.
注意以下这些中性元音的拼写，不用担心例子中有些可能不是真正的单词。
Remember ( 1) that
the sensation is feeling the neutral as the shortest distance between two consonants
感受两个辅音之间的中性元音的短间距
and (2) to move with smart dispatch from the first to the second consonant.
并且，注意从第一个辅音到第二个辅音的巧妙的过度；
Practice the words vertically, and repeat each group at least twice.
从上到下，练习这些单词，并且每个组重复至少两次。
Feel their musical, staccato tempos and rhythms.
感受他们的乐感、断音速度和韵律。
