Question

读英语单词的字母拼写时有升降调吗

Answer 1

有。每个单词前面的字母都读升调，就只有最后一个字母读降调。
单词重读时也是有一定规则的：
1）后缀一般不重读，前缀、词根更靠谱。
homeless、interesting
2）ation,
eer吸重音，ment,
ing,
ism重不变。
engineer,
combination,
explanation,
teaching,
amusement,
criticism
3）多音节词若要读，倒数第三不离谱。accompany,
concentrate,
commodities,
motivate
4)
双音节词分词性，名形重前，动重后。present,
increase,
import,
conflict,
permit
5)
复合名词重在前，
记准规则莫遗漏。blowup,
makeup,
outcome,
upset,
runaway
