(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。 Exercise-画线部分读音不同的一项 1. A. baby B. rabbit C. apple D. carry 2. A. lively B. city C. windy D. pity 3. A. noisy B. choice C. royal D. coincidence 4.
