　　2.此处record 作名词用，重读在第一个音节，读作/'rekɔ:d/。

　　3.读房间号码时，可以读作two sixty-six，也可读作two double six.

　　英语语音语调

　　名词还是动词?

　　当一个单词有多个词性时，它的发音与重音随着词性而发生变化。一般的规律是：如果有名词和动词两种词性，作名词时，重音在第一个音节上。作动词时，重音则在第二个音节上。除了文中出现的record(/'rekɔ:d/为名词，意为“记录，唱片”;/riˈkɔ:d/为动词，意为“记录”)以外，类似的例子还有：

　　conduct/ˈkɔndʌkt/为名词，意为“行为”/kən'dʌkt/为动词，意为“指挥”

　　contrast/'kɒntrɑ:st/为名词，意为“对比”/kənˈtrɑ:st/为动词，意为“对比”

　　desert /'dezət/为名词，意为“沙漠”;/di'zɛ:t/为动词，意为“放弃”
