57.哑元音记忆有规律
在英语单词中,除了辅音字母在某些特定的“环境”中不发音外,有时元音字母也会成为不发音的哑音字母,在平时学习中,同学们要特别留心,记住它们在单词中的拼写,以免漏掉。
(1)五个元音字母在非重读音节中除了读[i]或[+]外,有时不发音。例如:listen[%26gt;lisn] lesson[%26gt;lesn],pencil[%26gt;pensl]。
(2)元音字母e在词尾不发音。例如:name[neim],Kate[keit]。
(3)元音字母u在a,e,i前面不发音。例如:guess[ges]。
此外,在个别单词中,元音字母组合也不发音。还有beautiful[%26gt;bjut+:ful](美的)一词中“ea”是哑元音。对于这样的单词,要特别注意它的字母拼写。
