n. 重音
句子重音
含义:同一个英语句子,重音读在不同单词上,强调的意思就不一样。我们用改变重音的方式,突出自己想重点表达的内容。
句子重音规则
1. 平常读句子:名词、动词、形容词这类实词重读;冠词、代词、介词这类虚词轻读,正常叙述事情。
2. 需要对比、强调的时候:可以把重音放到任意一个单词上。哪个单词重读,就重点强调哪个单词。就算平时轻读的词,也可以重读。
3. 一个句子一般只重读一个地方,不要多处重读。
例句:
句子:He likes bananas.
1. ˈHe likes bananas.
重读He → 强调:是他喜欢香蕉,不是别人。
2. He ˈlikes bananas.
重读likes → 强调:他喜欢香蕉,不是讨厌。
3. He likes ˈbananas.
重读bananas → 强调:他喜欢香蕉,不是别的水果。
