Hello, I'm John Russell.
大家好，我是约翰·罗素。
In today's lesson, let's explore one area of connection between grammar and pronunciation.
在今天的课上，我们来探讨一下语法和发音之间的联系。
Specifically, let's examine how Americans use word stress when saying phrasal verbs.
具体来说，让我们来看看美国人在说动词短语时是如何使用单词重音的。
Word stress refers to saying a word louder or in a higher pitch.
单词重读指的是把一个单词说得更大声或更高的音调。
It draws attention to important pieces of information.
它将注意力吸引到重要的信息上。
What about phrasal verbs?
那动词短语的重音呢？
Phrasal verbs are groups of words that have a meaning different from what the individual words suggest.
动词短语是一组单词，它们的意思不同于单个单词所暗示的意思。
Phrasal verbs consist of a verb and another short word or words.
动词短语由一个动词和另一个或多个单词组成。
Consider this example: pick out.
看一下这个例子：pick out(挑出，辨认出)。
It has the verb "pick" and the short word "out".
这个词组有动词“pick”，还有一个短词“out”。
Americans generally stress the last word in a phrasal verb.
美国人通常会重读动词短语的后一个单词。
Listen to this sentence: He picked out a gift for his mother.
听下面这个句子：他为母亲挑选了一件礼物。
Note that I placed stress on "out" -- the last word in the phrasal verb.
注意，我把重音放在“out”上——动词短语的最后一个单词。
Let's consider another example: pick up.
我们来看另一个例子：pick up(捡起；获得)。
He picked up his children from school. He picked up his children from school.
他把孩子从学校接了回来。
If you compare the examples we have explored, you might notice one reason why Americans stress the last word in phrasal verbs.
如果你比较一下我们已经探讨过的例子，你可能会注意到美国人在动词短语中重读最后一个单词的原因。
It is often the last word in the phrasal verb that changes the meaning.
通常是动词短语的最后一个单词改变了意思。
When you use phrasal verbs, pay careful attention to the ending of the phrasal verb.
当你使用动词短语时，要注意动词短语的末尾单词。
Tried to stress it when you practice speaking.
当你练习说的时候，试着重读它。
That's all for today. Keep up the good work.
以上就是今天的全部内容了，继续加油吧。
