单词的发音规律（拼读法记单词用）

英语单词的音节及读音规则

1. 音节概念

在英语单词中元音特别响亮，一个发音的元音就可以构成一个音节，所以英语单词的音节是以发音的元音来确定的。只有一个发音的元音构成的单词称为单音节词，有两个发音的元音构成的单词称为双音节词，三个以上发音的元音构成的单词称为多音节词。

例：

双音节词：go, he, stand, think, please, take, some, what, glad,

smoke, child, taught

双音节词：teacher, brother, Sunday, neighbor, darkness,

breakfast, comment , open

多音节词：exercise, holiday, separate, celebrate, institute,

opportunity

modernization

注：一个单词音节数的多少并不是按组成单词字母的多少来划分的。

2. 单词重音

在英语的双音节以上的单词中，有一个或两个读得特别响亮的音节，我们称为重读音节，国际音标上

标有“′”这样的重读符号。一般说来一个单词只有一个重音。

例：Sunday [’sʌndi] begin [bi’ɡin]

3. 开音节

开音节一共有两种：

一种叫绝对开音节，即直接以发音的元音字母结尾的单词。

例：go [ɡəʊ], he [hi:], no [nəʊ], we [wi:], who [hu:]

另一种叫做相对开音节，即发音的元音字母后有一个辅音字母（r

除外）再加一个不发音的字母e。

例：make [meik], note [nəʊt], these [ði:z], like [laik], use [ju:z]

4. 闭音节

发音的元音字母后面有一个或几个辅音字母（r除外）时，这个元音字母构成的音节叫闭音节。如果单词重音在这个音节上，该闭音节就叫做重读闭音节。

例：bad [bæd], thank [θæŋk], desk [desk], sit [sit], stick [stik],

fog [fɒɡ], shop [ʃɒp]; sun [sʌn], must [mʌst]

5. 元音字母在开音节中的一般发音

A a [ei], Ee [i:], Ii [ai], Oo [əʊ], Uu [ju:]

例：take [teik], late [leit], he [hi:], theme [θi:m], time [taim],

nice [nais], no [nəʊ]; joke [jəʊk], tune [tju:n], cute [kju:t];

6. 元音字母在重读闭音节中的一般发音
