Hi. I'm Jade. What we're talking about today is word stress in English.

你好。 我是傑德。 我們本節課內容是學習英語單詞重音。

What's word stress?

什麼是單詞重音？

Well, it's part of the rhythm of English, and it's what can help your English sound much more natural.

所謂單詞重音就是英語節奏的一部分，並且它可以幫助使你們的英語聽起來更自然。

So we'll be looking at that.

所以，我們將學習單詞重音。

But more specifically, we'll be learning some rules for word stress because you might understand it in principle, " Yeah some parts of the word are stressed, and some bits aren't".

我們將更具體的學習一些關於單詞重音的規則，因為你們可能從規律上了解過單詞重音。「但是，這個詞的某些部分是重讀的，在不同的情況下這個部分又不是重讀」。

But how do you actually apply that?

但是你們如何實際應用呢？

And that's what you're going to learn today.

這就是你們今天要學的東西。

So we'll start by looking at an interesting sentence, " We must POLISH the POLISH furniture".

因此，我們首先要看一個有趣的句子，「我們必須拋光波蘭家具」。

" Polish" is an action, verb, for cleaning So something, making it shiny; and " Polish" is an adjective for furniture from Poland.

「波蘭語」是一個動作，動詞，用於清潔所以有些東西，使它有光澤;而「波蘭的」是波蘭家具的形容詞。

So although they're the same spelling, they have different sounds, and that's because of word stress.

因此雖然它們是相同的拼寫，但它們有不同的讀法，這是因為單詞重音。

And we'll look at those words.

讓我們看看這些單詞。

So just make a note of it.

所以在句子上做好標註。

That's the verb, and that's the adjective.

這個是動詞，那個是形容詞。

And we're going to -- we're now going to look at where to put the stress.

我們要去 —— 我們現在要看看應該把重讀放在哪裡。

So the general rule for two-syllable words is: the noun or adjective, the stress is on the first syllable.

所以雙音節詞的一般規則是：名詞或形容詞，重讀在第一個音節上。

The noun or adjective, the stress is on the first syllable.

名詞或者形容詞，重讀在第一個音節上。

And that's how you show word stress.

這是你標註重音的符號。

The stress is the circle, and the unstress is a line.

重音的標誌是圓圈，非重音的是一條線。

It's above the -- it's probably not something you can see right now.

哦，符號在上面，在這個視頻中你們可能看不見。

I've just realized. So I'll do it like that.

我剛剛意識到，所以我將往下標一下。

You can see now. What about this one, the verb?

你現在可以看到了。 那個動詞怎麼樣？

The verb is the second syllable.

動詞是第二個音節是重讀的。

So unstress; stress for the second syllable.

所以，不是重讀的，重讀的就像我標的那樣。

Let's have a look at some sentences with the word stress rules.

讓我們看看一些帶有重音規則的句子。

So in these sentences, I've got examples where we've got a noun in a sentence and a verb with a similar meaning in a different sentence.

所以在這些句子中，我有一些例子，我們在一個句子中有一個名詞，在一個不同的句子中有一個相似含義的動詞。

So you will hear a little bit of a different pronunciation.

所以你會聽到一點不同的發音。

Perhaps quite a subtle difference in pronunciation, but the stress is in a different place.

發音可能有一個微妙的差異，但重音在另一個地方。

So I'm going to show you that. So in this sentence, " decrease" is in the noun form.

所以我將會告訴你這個差別， 在這句話中，「decrease」是名詞形式。

So looking at our rule, where is the stress here? On the first syllable.

那麼看看我們的規則，這裡的重讀在哪裡？在第一個音節。

We show the stress by the circle and the unstress by the line.

我們用圓圈表示重音，用線表示非重讀。

And what about this one? " Decreased" is in the verb position, so we swap; we stress the second syllable.

那麼這個呢？ 「Decreased」處於動詞位置，因此我們互換;我們強調第二個音節。

Now, I'll read them to you. " There has been a DEcrease in wages. Wages deCREASED last year".

現在，我會把它們讀給你聽。 「There has been a Decrease in wages」。這句話在第二個音節重讀。

Let's take a look at the second one.

我們來看看第二個。

" Present" here, is a noun because we've got " a" there, " a lovely present" .

「Present」在這句是一個名詞。

So, again, we put the stress here.

所以，我們在重音這裡標記。

And here is the verb.

在這句話是動詞。

So we do that pattern again.

像上面一樣，我們標記上重音標記。

Now, I'll read them to you. " Tom bought me a lovely PREsent".

然後，我讀給你們聽，" Tom bought me a lovely PREsent" 重讀在前面。

Second example, " We now preSENT the star of the show".

第二句話" We now preSENT the star of the show"重讀在後面。

Let's take a look at this third example here.

我們來看看這個第三個例子。

" Permit" -- " permit" in this sense, " You need a PERmit to park here" is saying -- in England, you need a little piece of paper from the government to say that you can park in some places.

「Permit」——在這種意義上的「Permit」，「你需要一個停在這裡的地方」這樣說 ——

在英格蘭，你需要政府的一張許可證說你可以在某些地方停車。

So it means you are allowed to park there.

這意味著允許你們可以在這兒停車。

And it's similar to the verb, which means " to allow" .

它類似於動詞，意思是「允許」。

So " PERmit" here is a noun.

所以「PERmit」在這裡是一個名詞。

Because it's a noun, we're going to stress the first syllable.

因為它是一個名詞，我們將強調第一個音節。

And here, " perMIT" is in the verb form, so we're going to change it. We're going to do it like that.

在這裡，「perMIT」是動詞形式，所以我們要改變它。 我們會這樣做。

And I'll read those to you now. " You need a PERmit to park here".

我現在就讀給你聽的。 「You need a PERmit to park here」。

Compare that to, " The school doesn't perMIT students to wear trainers".

相比之下，「The school doesn't perMIT students to wear trainers」。

So it's not " per" anymore; it's " pe" , " pe-MIT" .

所以它不再是「per」了;它是「pe」，「pe-MIT」。

When we come back, we're going to look at some other general rules and important things to know about word stress.

當我們回來時，我們將看一些其他一般規則和重要的事情來了解單詞重音。

Are you ready for more word stress rules?

你準備好了更多的單詞重音規則嗎？

Well, first of all, we've got some exceptions.

嗯，首先，還有一些不符合上述規律的情況。

In the case of exceptions, the pronunciation is the same for the verb, the adjective, and the noun if they have one.

在例外的情況下，動詞，形容詞和名詞的發音是相同的。

Let's have a look.

讓我們看一看。

" He PHOTOgraphed the whole family". " She looks pretty in the PHOTOgraph".

" He PHOTOgraphed the whole family"。" She looks pretty in the PHOTOgraph"。

It's the same, okay?

這兩句話中「photo」發音都是一樣的。

The stress is in the same position, at the beginning of the word.

重讀在同一個位置，都在單詞的開頭。

Should do a circle.

應該加一個符號。

Next example, " I PRACtise singing every day". " The dentist surgery is a private PRACtice".

下一個例子，「我每天都在練習唱歌」。 「牙醫手術是一種私人的手術」。

Again, the stress is in the same place, in the beginning in both instances.

同樣，在兩種情況下，壓力都在同一個地方。

Here, " practice" is a noun; here it's the verb.

這裡，「practice」是一個名詞。這是動詞。

And our next example, " Sarah TRAvels business class".

我們的下一個例子是「Sarah TRAvels business class」。

And, " Where did you go for your TRAvels? "

並且，「 Where did you go for your TRAvels？」

The stress is in the same place: TRAvels, TRAvels, TRAvels -- In the beginning of the word.

重音在同一個地方：TRAvels，TRAvels，TRAvels —— 重讀在這個詞的開頭。

And let's look now at when the noun and the verb have different meanings.

現在讓我們看一下名詞和動詞有何不同的含義。

In these other examples, they have related meanings.

在這些其他示例中，它們具有相關含義。

In these examples, although they're the same word, they have different pronunciations and different meanings, so let's look at that.

And the pronunciation difference is quite obvious in these examples.

在這些例子中，雖然它們是同一個詞，但它們有不同的發音和不同的含義，所以讓我們來看看。 在這些例子中，發音差異非常明顯。

So " reFUSE" as a verb means " to say 'no'" about something.

因此，「reFUSE」作為動詞意味著「對某事說'不'。

But " REFuse" is a formal British word for " garbage" , or " rubbish" -- we say informally in English.

但是，「REFuse」是英文中關於「垃圾」或「垃圾」的正式英文單詞 —— 我們用非正式英語說。

So here's a sentence, " Residents refUSED plans for new REFuse bins".

這兒有一句話「Residents refUSED plans for new REFuse bins」。

There's the verb; there's the noun. " Residents refUSED plans for new REFuse bins".

這句話中有動詞; 有名詞。 「Residents refUSED plans for new REFuse bins」。

Next example, " obJECT" to something means " to disagree" about something.

下一個例子" obJECT"表示拒絕什麼事情。

It's quite a formal word. And another meaning for " OBject" is " thing" .

這是一個非常正式的詞。 另一個含義是「事物」。

Let's look at it in a sentence. " I obJECT to that disgusting OBject.

讓我們用一句話驗證一下。 「I obJECT to that disgusting OBject」。

I obJECT to that disgusting OBject". Our stress here for the verb; and our stress at the beginning for the noun.

「I obJECT to that disgusting OBject」我們在這裡強調動詞，以及我們在名詞開頭的重讀。

And let's look at " reCORD" , which is a verb -- " to capture on film" .

讓我們來看看「reCORD」，這是一個動詞 ——「捕捉電影」。

Like now, I'm being " reCORDed" .

像現在一樣，我正在被「重新考慮」。

And it has two other meanings.

它還有另外兩個含義。

It can be a file, an official file somewhere; you can have a " record" somewhere.

它可以是文件，某個地方的官方文件; 你可以在某個地方有一個「記錄」。

Or it can be a different old-fashioned format of music, a round record.

或者它可以是一種不同的老式音樂形式，一種圓形唱片。

So here's a sentence. " We have a RECord of all the RECords reCORDED by them". This one's a noun; this one's a noun; and that's the verb. So the stress is in different places. I'll say that one again.

所以這是一個句子。 「我們已經記錄了他們所收到的所有記錄」。 這是一個名詞;這個是名詞，這就是動詞。 所以重讀在不同的地方。 我再讀一遍。

" We have a RECord all of the RECords reCORDED by them".

「We have a RECord all of the RECords reCORDED by them」。

So that's what I'm going to tell you about word stress today.
