句子的重音主要有两个功能：
1. 体现句子的节奏感和韵律感。
2. 突出重点，使听者更容易理解。
重音
我们在朗读英语或用英语交谈时，并不是将句子中的每个词都读得一样响亮、一样清楚，而是有些词要读得又轻又快，而且较为含糊，有些词则读得又重又慢，而且较为清晰。那些读得响亮而清晰的词就是句子重音所在。
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：
1. 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；
2. 人称代词、连词、冠词、介词、以及少数系动词和助动词等一般不重读(当然有少数例外)。
Compare Shenzhen with your home town. Make notes in the table.
