金星是美和爱的女神，之所以会如此命名，也许是对古代人来说，它是已知行星中最亮的一颗。
因为它在夜空中看起来是血红色的,所以在西方，以罗马神话中的战神玛尔斯(或希腊神话对应的阿瑞斯)命名它。
因为它离太阳最远，因此也非常寒冷，这和罗马神话中的冥王普鲁托
所住的地方很相似，因此称为“Pluto”。在2006年8月24日于布拉格举行的第26届国际天文联会中通过的第5号决议中，冥王星被划为矮行星，并命名为小行星134340号，从太阳系大行星行列中被除名。所以太阳系暂时只有八颗大行星。
Mercury 水星
Earth 地球
Mars 火星
Saturn 土星
Neptune 海王星
Venus 金星
Jupiter 木星
Uranus 天王星
Pluto 冥王星
With the exception of the earth, all of the planets in our solar system have names from Greek or Roman mythology.
在古罗马神话中水星是商业、旅行和偷窃之神，即古希腊神话中的赫耳墨斯，为众神传信的神，或许由于水星在空中移动得快，才使它得到这个名字。
在西方称它为朱庇特，是罗马神话中的众神之王，相当于希腊神话中的宙斯。
土星是太阳系中仅次于木星的第二大行星。土星的英文名字Saturn是以罗马神的农神萨杜恩命名的。土星也是英语中“星期六”（Saturday）的词根。
以直径计算，天王星是太阳系第三大行星；但若以质量计算，则比海王星轻而排行第四。天王星的命名，是取自希腊神话的天神乌拉诺斯。
海王星的名字是罗马神话中的海神涅普顿（Neptune）。

分析:英语句子一般由多个单词构成，这些单词的重读(stress) 一般遵循以下规律：名词、形容词、数词、动词、副词、代词和表达强烈思想感情的感叹词需要重读；人称代词、连词、冠词、介词、以及少数系动词和助动词等主要起语法作用的单词一般不重读（当然有少数例外）。
注意: 有时为了表达思想感情一些提供新信息的词需要重读, 需要强调的词需要重读。
