本节内容:阶梯语调之重音个例
一、pretty的含义
重音放在pretty还是放在它后面所修饰的形容词的或副词上,意思完全相反。
pretty easily (easily)
prettty easily (a little difficult)
例如下面的对话:
Question: How did you like the movie?
Answer 1: It was pretty good. (She liked it.)
Answer 2: It was pretty good. (She didn't like it much.)
二、My name的重音
如果重音放在Name上,给人的感觉是后面会介绍更多个人信息。
My name is So-and-so, my address is such-and-such, my blood type is O.
如果除了名字,并不想介绍更多个人信息,重音应该放在my上。
Hello, my name is So-and-so.
三、拼写和数字(Spelling and Numbers)
名字或数字的读法:三四个字母或数字为一组,重音放在这组字母或数字的最后一个。
首字母缩略词(acronym)和缩写(initial)的重音通常放在最后一个字母。
