當(dāng)你在講英語的時(shí)候，你可以通過重讀來改變句子潛在的意義。我們可以來看看下面的句子。
I don't think he should get the job.
我覺得他不會(huì)得到那份工作。
根據(jù)你對(duì)詞語的重讀，這個(gè)簡單句可以表達(dá)出許多不同的意思。思考下面句子中加粗的詞語，大聲朗讀每一句，并對(duì)加粗的詞語進(jìn)行重讀。

如你所見，這句話有許多不同的理解方式。重要的一點(diǎn)就是記住，句子的意義也可以通過重讀詞語或詞組來改變。
這里有一個(gè)練習(xí)來幫助你強(qiáng)化單詞重讀的技巧。請(qǐng)看下面的句子：
I said she might consider a new haircut.
我告訴她應(yīng)該考慮換個(gè)新發(fā)型。
大聲練出這句話，并對(duì)加粗的詞語進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào)。當(dāng)你將這個(gè)句子重復(fù)了幾次后，將不同的句子與下面的意義搭配起來。你會(huì)找出后面測試的答案。
1.I said she might consider a new haircut.
我告訴她應(yīng)該考慮換個(gè)新發(fā)型。
2. I said she might consider a new haircut.
我告訴她應(yīng)該考慮換個(gè)新發(fā)型。

?Not just a haircut.
而不是現(xiàn)在的發(fā)型。
?It's a possibility.
有可能。
?It was my idea.
我的主意。
?Not something else.
而不是別人。
?Don't you understand me?
聽懂我的意思了嗎？
?Not another person.
而不是換個(gè)別的。
?She should think about it. it's a good idea.
她會(huì)考慮的。這是個(gè)好主意。
寫出幾個(gè)句子。每次讀的時(shí)候，都對(duì)不同的詞語進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào)。注意詞語的意義根據(jù)你的強(qiáng)調(diào)而發(fā)生的變化。不要擔(dān)心將重讀夸張化，在英語中我們經(jīng)常使用這個(gè)技巧來對(duì)一個(gè)句子增添新的含義。有可能當(dāng)你覺得自己夸大其詞時(shí)，說母語人士聽起來卻很自然。
