音标1、音素：音素是英语中最小的语音单位，英语中有48个音素，其中元音20个，辅音28个。
2、音标：是记录音素的符号，用于区别字母，因而需加“[]”或“//”。
3、48个音标4、开音节：以元音字母结尾或以辅音字母加不发音的e结尾的单词，叫开音节单词。
在开音节单词中，元音字母发它本身的音。
5、重音：读单词时总有一个响亮的音节叫重读音节，以“＇”来标记。
6、句子重读：①一般原则：有句子重读的是名词、动词、形容词、数词、副词、感叹词等。
②关键性原则：在一定场景下传递新信息的关键词要重读。
7、连读：同一句群中，前一词以辅音音素结尾，后一词以元音音素开头，在语流中将这两个音素合拼在一起读，这种现象叫“连读”。
