(以下M代表Mary,C代表Catherine)

C: Hi, Mary. Why didn't I see you in the body-keeping club yesterday?

M: After the jogging last weekend, I'm always having an ache in my whole body. So I am having a rest at home.

C: You surely would feel aching,because it was the first time you went to keep fit.

M: I know. but it really hurts.

C: You'd better stick it out. How about trying other exercises?

M: What?

C: Have you heard of Latin? Yoga, Pilates and Latin dancing are fashionable figure-shaping programs with many women followers. You will also sweat a lot when you are dancing Latin.

M: Is it useful?

C: Yes, indeed. Dance is a song of the body, I tell you. It's addicting! I feel like a new man.

M: Oh, I got it. It is the secret of your good shape.

C: Come on, join me tonight!

M: All right. You persuaded me.

英語(yǔ)筆記

1.在非正式口語(yǔ)中，-ing 常發(fā)生變音，讀作/?n/，于是having 讀作/'hæv?n/。

2.keep fit 意為“健身”。

3.persuade 為雙音節(jié)動(dòng)詞，重讀在后一個(gè)音節(jié)上，讀作/p?'swe?d/。

英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)

雙音節(jié)動(dòng)詞的重讀

在英語(yǔ)中，雙音節(jié)動(dòng)詞，尤其是以不發(fā)音的e結(jié)尾或詞尾有連續(xù)出現(xiàn)的輔音字母的雙音節(jié)動(dòng)詞，一般都在后面的音節(jié)上重讀，而這些以不發(fā)音的e結(jié)尾的重讀音節(jié)可以稱(chēng)為詞尾開(kāi)音節(jié)。如：

condemn /k?n'dem/ v. 譴責(zé)

insult /?n's?lt/ v. 侮辱

salute /s?'lu:t/ v. 向……致敬

excuse /?k'skju:s/ v. 原諒
