單詞音節(jié)重讀

　　Today’s tip is on how syllable stress can affect the meaning of words.

　　今天的小貼士是關(guān)于音節(jié)重音如何影響單詞的意思。

　　Remember that stressed syllables are said louder and are lengthened, and unstressed syllables are pronounced more softly, and often have the vowel sounds reduced.

　　要記住重音的音節(jié)會(huì)發(fā)得會(huì)大聲，聲音會(huì)延長(zhǎng)，而非重讀音節(jié)就會(huì)發(fā)得較輕，但經(jīng)常是元音聲音降低。

　　Sometimes, this difference can be the difference between a verb and a noun, or an adjective.

　　有時(shí)，這種不同可以區(qū)分動(dòng)詞與名詞或形容詞。

　　There are at least 14 pairs of words in which syllable stress alone makes this difference.

　　至少在十四組單詞里面，重讀音節(jié)就會(huì)區(qū)分單詞。

　　Some examples include `addict, a`ddict, `convict, con`vict, `perfect, per`fect.

　　一些例子包括：`addict, a`ddict, `convict, con`vict, `perfect, per`fect.

　　Each time the second syllable is stressed, the word is a verb.

　　當(dāng)單詞里第二個(gè)音節(jié)重讀的話，這個(gè)單詞就是一個(gè)動(dòng)詞。

　　When the first syllable is stressed, the word is either a noun or an adjective.

　　當(dāng)?shù)谝粋�(gè)音節(jié)重讀的話，這個(gè)單詞可以是一個(gè)名詞也可以是一個(gè)形容詞。

　　Let’s look some examples more closely.

　　讓我們來更仔細(xì)地看一些例子。

　　`Permit and per`mit, `permit和per`mit A `permit is a noun, it is a piece of paper which authorizes you to do something.

　　單詞`permit就是一個(gè)名詞，意思是許可證;執(zhí)照

　　For instance, a fishing `permit allows you to go fishing.

　　比如說，有了捕魚許可證就可以去釣魚。

　　Permit is a verb.

　　Permit就是一個(gè)動(dòng)詞。

　　It means to allow.

　　意思就是允許。

　　For instance, fishing isn’t per`mitted here without a `permit.

　　比如說，沒有許可證是不允許在這里釣魚。

　　Another example is `perfect and per`fect. `Perfect is an adjective.

　　另一個(gè)例子就是`perfect和per`fect，`perfect 是一個(gè)形容詞。

　　It means 100% correct, no mistakes or errors.

　　意思就是正確，沒有錯(cuò)誤。

　　The verb is perfect, it means to make something perfect.

　　perfect 是個(gè)動(dòng)詞，意思是使…完美。

　　For example, “I want to per`fect my English” means “I want to make my English perfect”.

　　比如說， “我想改善我的英文”意思是“我想讓我的英文變得完美”.

　　Make sure you stress the right syllable. It can be the difference between different parts of speech.

　　確信重讀在合適的音節(jié)，在句子中的不同位置重音也會(huì)不同。
