精選例句
發音注意
enhance: two syllables with the stress on the latter one. Notice that the vowel of the second syllable is a /æ/ sound, so it should be pronounced as /hæns/. "en-hance".
perpetuates: four syllables with the stress on the second one. "tu" here is /tʃu/ , whereas "ate" is /eɪt/, a long vowel. "per-pe-tu-ates".
species: two syllables with the stress on the first one. "p" will have a /b/ sound since it is preceded by a voiceless "s", and "cies" is /ʃiz/. "spe-cies".
