句子重音 （Sentence Stress）
在英语句子中，实词（如名词、动词、形容词、副词等）承载重要信息，一般需要重读；而充当语法功能的词（如冠词、连词、介词、助动词等）一般弱读。但这条读音规律并非一成不变，句子中的重音可以随着说话者要表达的意思的变化而变化。例如：
Please pass me the book. （强调把“书”递给我，而不是把别的东西给我）
Please pass the book to me. （强调把书递给“我”，而不是给其他人）
A: I think she will win.
B: She won’t. （预测她“不会”赢）
A: She will. （坚信她一定“会”赢）
一般情况下，me、will等功能词在句中弱读，但在上述情境中这两个词需要重读。
Exercise-画线部分读音不同的一项
1. A. baby B. rabbit C. apple D. carry
2. A. lively B. city C. windy D. pity
3. A. noisy B. choice C. royal D. coincidence
4. A. table B. able C. blackboard D. enable
5. A. might B. flight C. highway D. sister
