  这里有一个练习来帮助你强化单词重读的技巧。请看下面的句子:

  我告诉她应该考虑换个新发型。

  大声练出这句话,并对加粗的词语进行强调。当你将这个句子重复了几次后,将不同的句子与下面的意义搭配起来。你会找出后面测试的答案。

  1.I said she might consider a new haircut.

  我告诉她应该考虑换个新发型。

  7. I said she might consider a new haircut.

  •Not just a haircut.

  而不是现在的发型。

  •It's a possibility.

  有可能。

  •It was my idea.

  我的主意。

  •Not something else.

  而不是别人。

  •Don't you understand me?

  听懂我的意思了吗?

  •Not another person.

  而不是换个别的。

  •She should think about it. it's a good idea.

  她会考虑的。这是个好主意。

  写出几个句子。每次读的时候,都对不同的词语进行强调。注意词语的意义根据你的强调而发生的变化。不要担心将重读夸张化,在英语中我们经常使用这个技巧来对一个句子增添新的含义。有可能当你觉得自己夸大其词时,说母语人士听起来却很自然。

  1.I said she might consider a new haircut.

  我告诉她应该考虑换个新发型。

  我的主意。

  我告诉她应该考虑换个新发型。
