＜リンキングと早口は違う＞
“Linking and speaking
fast are _not_ the same thing! You
don’t need to speak fast. When native speakers link words, they’re not
necessarily speaking faster. The speech is just smoother and less choppy. It’s
extremely important to stress the content words when you are linking words
because this will force you to slow down at the right place and it’ll make your
speech more easily understood.” p.102
