辅音连缀
在英语词汇中,如果有两个或两个以上的辅音音素结合在一起,这种语法现象称为辅音连缀。辅音连缀发生在词首,词中和词尾。如:
词首 blue
词中 basketball
词尾 desk
读辅音连缀时,两个辅音不能有停顿,几乎同时发音,前面的辅音必须读得轻一些,短促些。
注意辅音连缀与成音节的区别哦

Listen and repeat. Notice the difference in stress and meaning of the same sentence.
I visited the redwood forests in California several times. (not other forests)
I visited the redwood forests in California several times. (not other places)
I visited the redwood forests in California several times. (not only once)
句子重音
句子重音可分为三类:表意重音,逻辑重音和情感重音。
•表意重音 表意重音是一种非常普遍的现象。一般来说,在句子中需重读的词都是实词(如名词、动词、形容词、副词等),不重读的词多为虚词或结构词。
•逻辑重音 逻辑重音的作用是表达说话者的意愿,说话者可以把重音放在想要强调的任何单词上。
•情感重音 情感重音是一种特殊的重音。在口语中,当说话者想要表达强烈的情感时,他会把强重音放在他想要强调的词上。
Listen and observe
例如:
Please pass me the 'book.
(强调把“书”递给我,而不是把别的东西给我)
Please pass the book to 'me.(强调把书递给“我”,而不是给其他人)
A: I think she will win.
B:She 'won't.(预测她“不会”赢)
A:She 'will.(坚信她一定“会”赢)
一般情况下,me、will等功能词在句中弱读,但在上述情境中这两个词需要重读。
