Step 6 Pronunciation and speaking
让学生听录音,了解录音中哪些单词是重读,哪些是轻读。然后再让学生听录音并跟读,体会重读单词和轻读单词在句子中的使用。最后全班核对答案。
Strong words in bold

2. It’s next Saturday at noon, but if you want good seats, you should come by 11:30.
3. He’s so mad at us that he’ll try harder to win, just to show we’re wrong!
为什么会有重读呢?
因为我们想传递有用的信息。而这些信息一般都包含在名词、动词、形容词、副词这些实
词(content words)中。
重读规则,实词重读,虚词弱读。
除了以上的一般原则之外,当单词中包含对方想了解或是你希望强调的信息时,一定要重
读。下面我们看看,不同语境下,说话人想传递信息的侧重点不同时,同一个句子中的重
音是如何发生变化的。
