发帖数: 536 | 2 I don't think V-ing generally changes the stressed pattern in that verb. But
when you turn that verb into the adjective form, it does generally alter
the stress pattern as well as some vowel pronunciation.
Take your word "hypnotize" for example (stress the first syllable, "O" as
the schwa vowel sound ə), its adjective form is "hypnotic" ( stress the
second syllable, "O" as the vowel sound "a").
That's also the case when you turn the verb into its noun form. For example,

On Engelbert Kaempfer's "Ginkgo"
Many authors have discussed the question why Engelbert Kaempfer (1651-1716)
presented the name of the ginky -tree in such an awkward spelling in the
Amoenitates Exoticae. Other misspellings in his book do not draw much
attention, but this one was introduced into botanic nomenclature by the
eminent Carl von Linné (1707-1778) and therefore GINKGO BILOBA will be with

(2015-02-05 21:47:55)
英语难学是每个学英语的中国人的共识，中国人在英语上下的功夫举世瞩目, 在电视
上播放的，疯狂英语学习的宏大场面，让外国人瞠目结舌。可是中国人在英语上下了这
么大力气，实际能力仍然还是强差人意。英语是世界语言，是与世界交流的重要工具，
不可能因为学不会就放弃。中国人是世界上最聪明的民族之一，如果方法正确，只要功
夫下到了，不可能学不好英语。究其什么原因让英语学习变得这么困难呢？大概有以下
几点：
一是目的错了.语言是交流思想的工具，不是学了应付考试的，大量的时间用在背单词
，学语法，做选择题，如此中国的英语教育，是行驶在歧途上的跑车，开得越快，离目
标越远。单词不用背的，平时用的多，自然记住了。花大量时间背的单词，不会用，忘
得快。语法不用专门学的，能把意思表达清楚的语言，一定合乎语法规律。应试教育法
教出的学生，能考高分，但不具备英语的实际能力，达不到运用它交流思想的目的。
二 没有合格的老师。由于录音机，在中国普及的晚，复读机的功能，它对学英语的重

听见一个词，能瞬间记住，能切分syllable，能repeat出来，并且猜出大致拼写，这是
个重要能力
专业讲"phonological awareness"
主要要training这个能力。比如我一个朋友，对多syllable且重音在后面的词/老外的
名字，
如spectacular等，总是记不住。
就是因为她对怎么切分syllable，感到confuse, 而且不知道怎么放stress
（stress，在每个语言，都有几个template的）
如果phonological awareness得不到提高，学单词，永远是个痛苦的事情。
(不一定学不好，就是痛苦）
遇到一个新单词，我就算完全不知道它什么意思，只要别人说一遍，我一定能记住它怎

然后大概能猜到怎么拼（英语是不规则拼写，但是大约猜两三次肯定有对的），一查字
