Hello! I'm Emma from mmmEnglish
你好!我是来自mmmEnglish的Emma
and in this lesson we're focusing on your pronunciation, specifically syllable stress, which is very important
在这节课中，我们将关注你的发音，尤其是音节重音，这是非常重要的
It's the difference between the noun, present and the verb, present
它是名词present和动词present的区别
Hear the difference
听下差别
These two words look exactly the same but they're pronounced differently
这两个词看起来完全一样，但发音不同
And that's all because of syllable stress
这都是因为音节重音
First thing! What's a syllable
第一件事!什么是音节
A syllable is a part of an English word and it's created by a vowel sound
音节是英语单词的一部分，由元音组成
Take the example from before
以前面的例子为例
It has two vowel sounds in it /e/ and /?/ Present
它有两个元音/ e /, /?/
Thus, there's two syllables
因此，有两个音节
The word book has only one syllable
book这个单词只有一个音节
The word date has only one syllable
date这个字只有一个音节
It's tricky because there are two vowel letters
这很棘手，因为有两个元音字母
But if you listen carefully you'll hear there is only one vowel sound /e?/, date
但如果你仔细听,你会听到只有一个元音/ e?/
The 'e' is silent and in the word my, there's only one syllable
“e”是不发音的，在my这个单词里，只有一个音节
Even though there's only consonants in this word there is still a vowel sound
即使这个单词中只有辅音字幕，但仍然有元音发音
The 'y' makes a vowel sound /a?/, my
“y”发元音/a?/
How many syllables does the word apple have
苹果这个单词有几个音节
Two

How many syllables does the word banana have
香蕉这个单词有几个音节
Three

What about beautiful
美丽的这个单词呢
Three

Not all syllables are equal!
不是所有的音节都是一样的!
If there is only one syllable in the word then of course, it will be the stressed syllable
如果这个单词只有一个音节，那么当然是重读音节
If there is more than one syllable in the word, then there will be one syllable that is stronger, clearer and bolder than the others
如果一个单词中有多个音节，那么就会有一个音节比其他音节更强、更清晰、更大声
The pronunciation of that syllable is clearer
那个音节的发音比较清楚
Here are a few more examples: Perfect
这里有更多的例子
Can you hear how the first syllable is clearer and stronger than the second
你能听到第一个音节比第二个音节更清楚、更有力吗
/p?:/ The second syllable is /f?kt/ Perfect
/p?:/第二个音节/f?kt/
So the first syllable is definitely stronger
所以第一个音节肯定更强
It's been a perfect day
今天真是完美的一天
See if you can guess which syllable in each of these words is the strongest
看看你能否猜出这些单词中哪个音节最强
The first syllable is the strongest syllable
第一个音节是最强的音节
What a beautiful sunset
落日胜景
We use this stress to add emphasis to our sentences as well
我们也用这个重音来强调我们的句子
Especially with adjectives
尤其是形容词
It's a beautiful sunset
美丽的日落
That's a beautiful dress
那是一条漂亮的裙子
Which syllable is stressed
哪个音节重读
The second syllable is the stressed syllable
第二个音节是重读音节
I can't wear that! I'll that I'll look ridiculous! Enthusiastic
我不能穿那个!我会觉得我会看起来很可笑!
It's the fourth syllable
第四个音节是
We were really enthusiastic about the idea, until we found out how much it would cost!
我们对这个想法非常热情，直到我们发现它要花多少钱!
So how do you know which syllable to stress
那么你怎么知道应该重读哪个音节呢
Unfortunately, there is no simple rule that you can follow but there is an easy way that you can find out this information!
不幸的是，没有简单的规则可以遵循，但是有一个简单的方法可以找到这些信息!
When you're looking up a new word in the dictionary you'll see the phonetic script next to that word
当你在字典里查一个新单词时，你会看到那个单词旁边的音标
It will tell you what syllable to stress and it will be marked like this:
它会告诉你应该重读哪个音节，并且会这样标记:复杂
Of course you can also listen to the pronunciation if you're using an online dictionary
当然，如果你在使用在线词典，你也可以听听发音
Some longer words will also have a secondary stress but the strongest stress - the main stress - is this symbol
一些较长的单词也有二级重音，但最强的重音——主重音——是这个符号
So what do you need to remember
你需要记住什么
There is always one main syllable in a word that is stressed
一个单词里总有一个重读音节
It's stronger than the others
它比其他的更强
Pronouncing it incorrectly can be confusing
不正确的发音会让人感到困惑
Learning to push down on the strongest syllable will help you to add emphasis to your speech and your pronunciation
学会把重音压在最强的音节上，可以帮助你在讲话和发音时增加重音
It will help you to sound more sincere, more interesting and natural! I really like it
它将帮助你听起来更真诚，更有趣和自然!我真的很喜欢

Speaking English clearly and confidently is about more than just the pronunciation of sounds

Word stress and syllable stress are just as important
单词重音和音节重音同样重要
