　　你可以试学习关于单词的重读音。这是一种对你听懂英语口语—特别是说得很快的口语的最佳方式之一。

　　What is WORD STRESS?

　　什么是单词的重读音?

　　Take 3 words： photograph， photographer， and photographic， for example. Do they sound the same? No! They sound different， because one

　　syllable in each word is STRESSED (stronger than the others).

　　以三个单词为例子：photograph， photographer，和photographic。它们说的时候听起来一样吗?不!它们发音不一样，因为每一个单词里只有一个音节是重读的(比其他的音节重音)。

　　Photograph

　　Photographer

　　Photographic

　　This happens in ALL words with 2 or more syllable： Teacher， Japan， China， above， conversation， Interesting， important， demand， etcetera.

　　所有有两个或两个以上音节的单词都一样：如上

　　The syllables that are not stressed are weak or small or quiet. Native speakers of English listen for the STRESSED syllables， not the weak syllables. If you use WORD STRESS in your speech， you will instantly and automatically improve your pronunciation and you comprehension.

　　不重读的音节发音的时候比较弱或小声或静。母语为英语的人听重读的音节，而不是弱的音节。如果你在说话的时候注意用重读音节，你的发音和理解力会立即和自动提高。

　　If you have an English teacher， ask her to help you understand WORD STRESS. Or try to hear the stress in individual words each time you listen to English-on the radio or in films for example. Your first step is to HEAR and recognize it. After that， you can USE it!

　　如果你有一个英语教师，要求她帮助你了解单词的重读。或者每次通过收音机，电影听英语的时候，试着听单个单词的重读音。你要做的第一步听和认出它。以后，你就会用它了。

　　是不是每个单词都重读或强发音吗?不!我们把重要的单词写得大一些，把不重要的单词写得小一些。在这个句子里哪些单词是重要的呢?WANT 和 GO。

　　We WANT to GO.
