　　英語筆記

　　1.此處介詞on 重讀，表示強調。

　　2.wouldn't 為 would not 的縮略形式，讀作/'w?dnt/。

　　3.drive the lane 意為“上籃”。

　　4.此處live 意為“直播的”，讀音為/la?v/，而不是/l?v/。

　　英語語音語調

　　動詞變成了形容詞?

　　你聽到的a live show中的live讀作/la?v/，而不是/l?v/，因為live在這個短語中充當形容詞，表示“直播的”，而不是充當動詞。在英語中，同一個單詞，音節(jié)和重音基本相同，但由于某個元音的讀音變化，會使單詞的詞性和含義發(fā)生變化，類似的例子還有：

　　approximate /?'pr?ks?me?t/ v. 接近，近似/?'pr?ks?m?t/ adj.近似的

　　elaborate /?'læb?re?t/ v. 精心制作，詳細闡述/?'læb?r?t/ adj.精心制作的
