🧩 技巧：多音节词强弱拆解 (Word Stress)

1. a-MA-zing (/əˈmeɪzɪŋ/)
拆解：a (弱) + MA (强) + zing (弱)
发音要领：重音在中间，开头 schwa 音要轻。
2. CHO-co-late (/ˈtʃɒklət/)
拆解：CHO (强) + co (弱/省) + late (弱)
发音要领：口语中常省略中间的 o 音，读成两音节 choc-late。
3. GI-ant (/ˈdʒaɪənt/)
拆解：GI (强) + ant (弱)
发音要领：Gi 发 /dʒaɪ/，类似 eye 的元音。
💡 小技巧：讲故事的语调
在描述梦境或故事时，遇到奇怪或惊人的部分（如 candy buildings, hot chocolate rain），语速可以放慢并加强重音，以吸引听众的注意力。
