Let’s review the knowledge about syllables.
音节：有的单词只包括一个音节，有的单词包含两个、三个或更多的音节，分别称为单音节词、双音节词和多音节词。 单音节词一般都是重读的。双音节词一般只有一个音节是重读的。多音节词除了重读音节外，有时还有一个次重读音节。
音节的核心是元音。少数辅音字母，如l、m、n也可以构成非重读音节。一个音节里可以只有一个元音字母而没有其他字母，如i 、a。元音字母的前面或后面可以有一个或两个辅音字母。如we, she, at, ask, box, them, desk, middle, letter等。

大多数多音节词的重音在第一或第二个音节上。但有些单词的主重音在后一个音节上。
词的重音与次重音
重音：
单音节词单独读时都重读，不必标重音节符号；两个或两个以上的音节才有重音。重音符号标注在重读的这个音节前。
次重音：
在含有3个或更多音节的单词中，有的除了有主重音还有次重音，次重音表示 读该音节时要弱于重音节而强于其他音节。
复合词和词组重音
重合词的重音一般落在第一个单词上。如：'homework, 'classroom, 'paper-knife等。
单词重音的一般规律：
a. 双音节词的重音多数在第1个音节上。例如：'daily，'matter，'clever等。
b. 带a-、be-、en-、for-、im-、in-、mis- 、pre- 、pro- 、to- 、trans- 、un-等不可分的前缀的双音节词，重音常落在第2个音节上。例如：a'bove，be'lieve，for'get，mis'take，pro'vide，to'day等。
c. 多音节词的重音多落在倒数第3个音节上。如：'satisfy，mag'nificent，i'immediately等。
d. 以-ic，–ial，-ian ，–ion等后缀结尾的多音节词，重音落在倒数第2个音节上。如：re'public，mu'sician等。
