介绍:
英语中的很多常用介词、代词、连词、助动词、冠词的发音都有分weak and strong forms
在国内学英语时,我们学到的音标是这样的:
The [beautiful] [mountain] [appeared] [transfixed] in the [distance]. (8 words)
He can [come] on [Sundays[ as long as he doesn't have to [do] any [homework] in the [evening]. (18 words)
介词、代词、连词、助动词、冠词都属于function words,在句中一般都不会被做重读处理,因为他们都是跟其他有意义的content words (名词、动词、形容词、副词)连在一起使用的,我们应该做的是重读那些content words。
