英语语音语调
名词还是动词?
当一个单词有多个词性时，它的发音与重音随着词性而发生变化。一般的规律是：如果有名词和动词两种词性，作名词时，重音在第一个音节上。作动词时，重音则在第二个音节上。除了文中出现的record(/'rekɔ:d/为名词，意为“记录，唱片”;/riˈkɔ:d/为动词，意为“记录”)以外，类似的例子还有：
conduct/ˈkɔndʌkt/为名词，意为“行为”/kən'dʌkt/为动词，意为“指挥”
contrast/'kɒntrɑ:st/为名词，意为“对比”/kənˈtrɑ:st/为动词，意为“对比”
desert /'dezət/为名词，意为“沙漠”;/di'zɛ:t/为动词，意为“放弃”
