符号说明：
/ 短暂停顿// 较长停顿** 内容重音CAPS 核心重音‿ 连读( ) 弱读/失爆⤴ ⤵ 语调
句子 1
A: Good morning, Jennifer! How have you been since our last meeting?
GOOD MORNing, Jennifer ⤴ / ! HOW‿(v)‿you BEEN / s(i)nce our LAST MEETing ⤵ ?
- 拖长点：
Good 和 morning 的第一音节。
- 连读/弱读：
How have you 缩减成 How-v-ya。这里的 v 只是一个极其轻微的摩擦音。
- 憋气点：
last 的 t 不发音，直接顶住上颚接 meeting。
句子 2
B: Morning, Alex! I've been doing well, thanks. Work has been quite demanding, but I'm managing. How about your projects? Are they going smoothly?
MORNing, Alex ⤴ / ! (I've) been DOing WELL, thanks ⤵ // . WORK (ha)s been QUITE deMANding ⤵ / , b(u)t I'm MANaging ⤵ // . HOW‿about‿your PROjects ⤴ ? ARE they GOing SMOOTHly ⤴ ?
- 拖长点：
Well 和 demanding（第二个音节 man 稍微拉长，强调压力）。
- 连读/弱读：
How_about_your 连成一串；but I'm 读成 buh-daim（轻快的 d 音衔接）。
- 节奏感：最后的两个疑问句，语调要像荡秋千一样，在
projects 和 smoothly 末尾明显上扬。
句子 3
A: Well, they've had their ups and downs, but overall, I can't complain. I'm actually excited about the new campaign we're launching next month.
WELL ⤴ / , they've HAD their UPS‿an(d) DOWNS ⤵ / , b(u)t Overall ⤴ / , I CAN'T comPLAIN ⤵ // . I'm ACtually‿exCITed / aBOUT the NEW camPAIGN / we're LAUNCHing NEXT MONTH ⤵ .
- 拖长点：
UPS 和 DOWNS。读 ups 时调子高，读 downs 时调子低，用声音“演”出起伏感。
- 连读/弱读：
actually_excited 这里的 ly 和 ex 连在一起。
- 憋气点：
can't 的 t 是关键，不要喷气，用一个微小的停顿（Glottal Stop）来表现否定。
句子 4
B: That sounds promising! What's the campaign about?
THAT SOUNDS PROMising ⤴ ! WHAT'S the camPAIGN‿about ⤵ ?
- 拖长点：
promising 的第一音节。
- 连读/弱读：
campaign_about 连读成 cam-pai-na-bout。
- 节奏感：这是一个特殊疑问句（What's），所以尽管表现得很兴奋，结尾的
about 语调还是要**落下来**，而不是往上扬。
🧩 技巧：多音节词强弱拆解 (Word Stress & Reduction)
关键：“一个核心，多个碎影”。一个音节是主角（强），其余都是配角（弱）。
-
1. de-MAN-ding (/dɪˈmændɪŋ/)
拆解：de (弱) + MAN (强) + ding (中)
像弹簧一样，先压缩再弹开。
-
2. PRO-mi-sing (/ˈprɒmɪsɪŋ/)
拆解：PRO (强) + mi (弱) + sing (中)
像一块石头落入水面，第一声最响，后面是微小的余波。
-
3. O-ver-all (/ˌəʊvərˈɔːl/)
拆解：O (强) + ver (弱) + ALL (次强)
像一个哑铃，两头沉，中间细。
-
4. CAM-paign (/kæmˈpeɪn/)
拆解：cam (弱) + PAIGN (强)
像起跳前的助跑，cam 是助跑，PAIGN 是跳跃。
