1 音节（Syllables ）
英语中一个元音构成一个音节，一个元音加上一个或一个以上的辅音也只构成一个音节。
如：I /ai/ , it /it/, ,bite /bait/, thrift/ θrift /
2 重读音节Stressed syllables
单音节词都有一个重读音节，但不标出重音符号。
双音节或多音节词有一个音节的元音比其它音节的元音长而响亮，这个长而响亮的音节称为重读音节.有些多音节词中除了主重音（Primary Stress），还可以有次重音（Secondary Stress)。重音符号表在重读音节的左上角，次重音符号标在左下角。
我们用“—”表示重读元音，用“.”表示弱读元音，这样把单词中音的长度、响亮度和音调高低用图解表示出来。
3 英语单词重音可遵循以下规律：
1 )双音节词作为名词，重音在第一个音节；作为动词，重音在第二个音节。
•名词动词
’Record ['rekɔːd] re’cord[ri'kɔ:d;]
’Object ['ɔbdʒikt] ob’ject [əb'dʒekt]
2) 复合名词重音一般在第一个音节上
’B lackboard ’H andbag
’B ookstore ’classroom
复合动词重音一般在第二个音节上
Short’change
ll-’treat
3 )有些复合词有双重重音
’A rm’chair ’kind’hearted
’four-’footed ’Second-’handed
4 )少数复合词重音在第二音节
What’ever who’ever your’self through’out
