英语里除了重音、次重音、非重音之外，还有**弱读音节**，比如被弱化成 `ə` 的 *schwa*。
英语里除了**重音**、**次重音**、**非重音**之外，还有**弱读音节**，比如被弱化成 `ə` 的 *schwa*。
In English, in addition to primary stress, secondary stress, and unstressed syllables, we also have weakly pronounced syllables, like the schwa (`ə`) sound that occurs when syllables are reduced.
细细体会 *individual* `/ˌɪndəˈvɪdʒəwəl/` 这个词，如果每个音节都清晰地用同样的 stress 读出来的话，应该是 `/ɪn-dɪ-vɪ-dʒju-əl/`…… 这里面，第二个音节 `/dɪ/`里的元音 `ɪ` 被弱化为 `ə`；另外，第四个音节 `/dʒju/` 里的元音 `ju` 也被弱化成了 `ə`，但保留了 `u` 的音色；而处于音节末尾的 `l`，之前自带着轻微的 `ə`，于是连成了很轻的 `wəl`……

Let's Dig deep into the word *individual*, for example, pronounced `/ˌɪndəˈvɪdʒəwəl/`. If each syllable was placed equal stress, it would sound something like /ɪn-dɪ-vɪ-dʒju-əl/... Within this pronunciation, the vowel `ɪ` in the second syllable `/dɪ/` is reduced to the schwa sound, `ə`; likewise, the vowel `ju` in the fourth syllable `/dʒju/` is also reduced to `ə`, but retains the coloration of `u`. The `l` at the end of the syllable, which originally carries a slight `ə` sound, thus becomes a very light `wəl`...
