英語中的很多常用介詞、代詞、連詞、助動詞、冠詞的發音都有分weak and strong forms
在國內學英語時,我們學到的音標是這樣的:
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)
介詞、代詞、連詞、助動詞、冠詞都屬于function words,在句中一般都不會被做重讀處理,因為他們都是跟其他有意義的content words (名詞、動詞、形容詞、副詞)連在一起使用的,我們應該做的是重讀那些content words。
