只有一个发音的元音构成的单词称为单音节词，有两个发音的元音构成的单词称为双音节词，三个以上发音的元音构成的单词称为多音节词。

 

英语单词的音节及读音规则1. 音节概念 在英语单词中元音特别响亮，一个发音的元音就可以构成一个音节，所以英语单词的音节是以发音的元音来确定的只有一个发音的元音构成的单词称为单音节词，有两个发音的元音构成的单词称为双音节词，三个以上发音的元音构成的单词称为多音节词。

例：双音节词：go, he, stand, think, please, take, some, what, glad, smoke, child, taught双音节词：teacher, brother

, Sunday, neighbor, darkness, breakfast, comment , open多音节词：exercise, holiday, separate, celebrate, i

nstitute, opportunitymodernization注：一个单词音节数的多少并不是按组成单词字母的多少来划分的2. 单词重音在英语的双音节以上的单词中，有一个或两个读得特别响亮的音节，我们称为重读音节，国际音标上。

标有“′”这样的重读符号一般说来一个单词只有一个重音例：Sunday [’sʌndi] begin [bi’ɡin]3. 开音节开音节一共有两种：一种叫绝对开音节，即直接以发音的元音字母结尾的单词例：g

o [ɡəʊ], he [hi:], no [nəʊ], we [wi:], who [hu:]另一种叫做相对开音节，即发音的元音字母后有一个辅音字母（r 除外）再加一个不发音的字母e例：make [meik], n。

ote [nəʊt], these [ði:z], like [laik], use [ju:z]4. 闭音节 发音的元音字母后面有一个或几个辅音字母（r除外）时，这个元音字母构成的音节叫闭音节如果单词重音在这个音节上，该闭音节就叫做重读闭音节。

例：bad [bæd], thank [θæŋk], desk [desk], sit [sit], stick [stik], fog [fɒɡ], shop [ʃɒp]; sun [sʌn], mu

st [mʌst]5. 元音字母在开音节中的一般发音 A a [ei], Ee [i:], Ii [ai], Oo [əʊ], Uu [ju:]例：take [teik], late [leit], he [hi:], theme [θi:m], time [taim], nice [nais], no [nə
