復合詞和短語的重讀
課文中的short stop為復合短語,構(gòu)成該短語的兩個詞short和stop都重讀。但在英語中,有些復合詞和短語是由相同的單詞組成,但重音位置不同,詞義也不同,一般可以通過重青來判斷詞義。一鍛來說,這些復合詞都是名詞,重音在前;而與其拼寫相同的短語一般是名詞短語,其中的兩個單詞都要重讀。如:
復合詞:shortstop /'??:tst?p/游擊手 短語:short stop /??:t'st?p/短暫的停留
復合詞:bluestocking /?blu:st?k??/女學者 短語:blue stocking /blu:'st?k??/藍色長襪
復合詞:greenbelt /'gri:n'belt/綠化帶 短語:green belt /ɡri:n'belt/綠色的帶子
復合詞:greenhouse /'ɡri:nha?s/溫室 短語:green house /ɡri:n'ha?s/綠色的房子
