PS:元音辅音以及重读闭音节,这里再做下补充说明.
1.英语26个字母中,a e i o u是元音字母, y是半元音字母, 其余都是辅音字母.
★所谓半元音就是有时候做元音,有时候做辅音.
半元音字母y做元音有: shy,sky
做辅音比如最简单的:yes
2.开音节和闭音节
开音节分两种:绝对开音节和相对开音节
绝对开音节指的是"元音字母结尾"的音节 (例如 we, hi等)
相对开音节是指"辅音字母-元音字母-辅音字母-不发音的e"的音节,(r除外). ( 例如,take,make等) 比如:take (在这个单词中,t是辅音,a是元音,k是辅音,e是不发音的元音)
◆在开音节中, 元音字母发他们在字母表中的音
闭音节, 则是指"辅音字母-元音字母-辅音字母"的音节 ( -al等除外) (例如:leg,cross等) ◆在闭音节中,元音字母发不同的音
a e i o u
例 sat let sit not nut (试着读下这些单词,这些单词中,元音发的音都不是它们在字母表中发的音)
2.英语重读闭音节就是以辅音因素结尾的,而且是重读音节的音节.
比如apple 划音节就因该是ap/ple 前面那个ap是一个音节,这个音节以辅音因素p结尾,所以就是
闭音节.(仅仅能看出是闭音节,是不是重读闭音节还要看这个音节是不是重读的)
重读闭音节三要素:
1. 必须是重读音节;
2. 最后只有一个辅音字母;
3.元音字母发短元音 ( 说通俗点,打个比方, /u/是短元音,/u:/是长元音)
重读闭音节即两个辅音中间夹一个元音.
如:sit---sitting begin---beginning(重读在gin这个音节上)
●像travel这个单词,"vel"也是"辅音+元音+辅音"的结构,但是重音不在vel这个音节上,所以不用双写"l",可以为travelled,也可以是traveled,更常用的是后者.
