每天三分钟学英语 第27期:美式英语的重音发音讲解

 William: Well, your father, he's good. He doesn't have vices¹. You know what a vice² is? A vice is like a bad habit, like bitin' your nails, but worse. 你的爸爸非常好。他没有什么恶习。你知道恶习是什么吗？恶习就是一个很坏的习惯，就像是咬手指盖，但是比这个更糟。

那到底什么词该重读呢？

一句话里重读的词：实词（有实际含义的词），主要包括名词、动词、形容词和副词

那么没有实际含义的功能性词通常不重读了，来看看典型的功能性词

不定代词: some, any, somewhere, something, etc.

介词: at, in, to, for, etc.

连词: and, but, or, so, etc.

冠词: a, an, the, etc.

助动词: is, was, am, are, do, have, can, etc.

William: Well, your father, he's good. He doesn't have vices. You know what a vice is? A vice is like a bad habit, like bitin' your nails, but worse.
