-其实，哪怕在单独读某一个单词的时候，其中元音的长短都会受到重音重读的影响。比如，*city* 这个单词，重音在第一个音节上，而两处的元音是一样的：`/ˈsɪ-t̬ɪ/`；但是只要你把第一个音节读得足够重，自然而然就能感觉到**第一个音节**只能比**第二个音节**更长（[3.3.2](3.3.2-stress)）。

-Actually, even when pronouncing a single word, the length of the vowels is influenced by the stress. For example, in the word *city*, the stress is on the first syllable, and both vowels are the same: `/ˈsɪ-t̬ɪ/`. But if you pronounce the first syllable heavy enough, you will naturally feel that the first syllable can only be longer than the second one ([3.3.2](3.3.2-stress)).

 大多数助动词、系动词、介词、连词、冠词、代词，都有两种发音形式：**强读式**（*accented form*）、**弱读式**（*weak form*） —— 这些单词往往都是单音节单词。在自然语流中，它们更多的情况下是以**弱读式**读出的。以下是其中最常见的强读式、弱读式对照列表。注意，以下的列表不能当作硬规则使用，不是所有的虚词都必须被弱读；也不是所有的实词都必须被强读。下面的列表只是在描述现象。
