兰卡严格说来不算是标致的“美女”，但她可爱的板牙、深深的酒窝都为她赢得了许多忠实的粉丝。作为一位创作歌手，兰卡的歌总是古灵精怪、充满了天马行空的想象力。
兰卡在《Skipalong》这首歌里对英语中常见的“连音”进行了很好的诠释。所谓“连音”是native speaker在日常说话时语调不自觉加快所出现的一种连读现象，掌握好连音能够使你的发音变得更为自然。
连音主要有以下几种形式，结合从歌词中摘出的例子，对照mv，好好体会一下吧！
1. 辅音+元音：辅音与后面的元音相连发音
such a heavy weight on you
weight on由于连音听起来就像weigh ton
you’re gonna ravel in hate
ravel in由于连音听起来就像rave lin
the world will fall apart
fall apart由于连音听起来就像fal lapart
so we’re gonna skip along
skip along由于连音听起来就像ski palong
2. 辅音+辅音（相同）：两个相同的辅音连在一起只读一次就可以
so tired of feeling blue
由于连音听起来就像so tire do feeling blue，仿佛of丢掉了一样。如果你读出of，就会比兰卡慢半拍哦。
3. 辅音+辅音（不同）：两个不同的辅音连在一起，则前一个会变得很轻
in the big bad world
由于连音big的g几乎是听不到的。
4. 元音（r或re结尾）+元音：后面元音前要多一个r的音
to bring us down but so far away
由于连音听起来就是far raway了。

Skipalong
---- Lenka
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.
