　　英语笔记

　　1.此处介词on 重读，表示强调。

　　2.wouldn't 为 would not 的缩略形式，读作/'wʊdnt/。

　　3.drive the lane 意为“上篮”。

　　4.此处live 意为“直播的”，读音为/laɪv/，而不是/lɪv/。

　　英语语音语调

　　动词变成了形容词?

　　你听到的a live show中的live读作/laɪv/，而不是/lɪv/，因为live在这个短语中充当形容词，表示“直播的”，而不是充当动词。在英语中，同一个单词，音节和重音基本相同，但由于某个元音的读音变化，会使单词的词性和含义发生变化，类似的例子还有：

　　approximate /ə'prɒksɪmeɪt/ v. 接近，近似/ə'prɒksɪmət/ adj.近似的

　　elaborate /ɪ'læbəreɪt/ v. 精心制作，详细阐述/ɪ'læbərət/ adj.精心制作的
