Introduction to Heteronyms 多音字介绍

A heteronym is a word that has a different meaning and pronunciation than another word that has the exact same spelling as it, and since both of these words have the same spelling it can be very difficult to learn how to pronounce these words properly; however if you know how to read the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) you can learn the proper pronunciation of any heteronym by referring to the phonetic guides that are included in most dictionaries.

多音字是一个具有不同含义和发音的单词,它的发音与另一个具有完全相同拼写的词完全相同,并且由于这两个词具有相同的拼写,因此可能很难掌握它们的正确发音; 然而,如果你知道如何阅读国际语音字母表(IPA),你可以通过参考包含在大多数词典中的语音指南来学习任何多音字的正确发音。

Project Instructions 项目说明

Although there are hundreds of heteronyms in the English language this lesson will only cover 30 of the most commonly used heteronym pairs.

虽然在英语语言中有数百个多音字,但这一课只会涵盖30种你可能遇到的最常见的多音字。

On the next page there are 5 heteronym examples that have been completed for you. These examples will help to demonstrate why it is important to understand how to use heteronyms properly. In the second part of this project you will need to complete the reference table for the 25 heteronym pairs. For the final section you will need to go through all of the provided heteronyms and determine which words are specific vocabulary terms from your other courses. You will then determine how to use and pronounce these words properly for the specific subject.

在下一页有5个已经完成的多音字例子。 这些例子将说明为什么正确理解多音字很重要。 在本项目的第二部分,您将需要完成25个最常见的多音字的对照表。 在最后一节,你将学习更多的多音字,并确定哪些词是你的其它科目上将会碰到的专业术语。 然后,您将学会如何在特定学科上正确地使用并读出这些单词。Basic Heteronyms Examples   |   基本多音字例子
