七大特殊单词重音规则 1. 英语中派生词的重音和词根重音一致 派生词就是一些有同样词根的词比如： act, active, actively com'pare com'parison 2. 带有下列后缀的词：-ary, -ery, -ory, -ism, -ist, -mony, -ment, -ary等，重音通常在第一个音节上例如： customary scientist slavery factory realism 3. 带下列前缀的词：a-, ab-, ac-, ad-, al-, be-, con-, de-, dis-, em-, en-, in-, mis-, re-, tans-, un-重音通常在第二音节上例如： a'bout ab'duce ac'cede ad'mire be'long con'sult de'tect dis'like 4. 带下列后缀的词：-aim, -ain, -cur, -eem, -duce, -ere, -firm, -gn, -oin, -oke, -ose, -pt, -rce, -self, -ume重音通常在第二音节 contain occur sincere design confirm 5. 带下列后缀的词：-ade, -ain, -ee, -eer, -esque, -ette, -ique, -ine, -oon重音通常在最后一个音节。
