Hello! I'm John Russell.大家好。我是约翰·拉索尔。Imagine you want to talk about an action.想象一下你要谈论某个动作。

Hello! Im John Russell.大家好我是约翰·拉索尔Imagine you want to talk about an action.想象一下你要谈论某个动作Perhaps you want to talk about something you will do in the future.。

也许你想要谈论要在未来做的事情For example, Ill call you.例如，我会给你打电话Ill call you.我会给你打电话A simple statement like this can teach you a lot about American English.。

像这样简单的陈述句能够教你很多关于美式英语的内容Ill explain.我来解释In American English, we generally stress content words - nouns, adjectives and verbs.。

在美式英语中，我们通常会重读实词 —— 名词、形容词和动词We generally do not stress function words - words like pronouns, modals, determiners and so on.。

我们通常不会重读功能词 —— 像代词、情态动词、限定词等等这样的词Stress means to say something louder or more forcefully.重读指的是更大声或更用力地说某个东西。

So, what is the connection between this information and the statement "Ill call you"?所以，这个信息和“我会给你打电话”这句陈述句之间有什么联系呢？

Listen carefully.请仔细听Ill call you.我会给你打电话Note that I stress the important content word - the verb call.。

请注意我重读了重要的实词 —— 动词 callIt is the main verb in the sentence.这是这句话的主要动词I dont stress the pronouns I or you and I reduce the helping verb will.。

我没有重读代词 I 或者 you，而且我弱读了助动词 willListen again.再听一次Ill call you.我要给你打电话This general idea holds true for all kinds of statements.。

这个一般法则适用于所有的陈述句Here are some examples.这里是一些例句I saw her.我看到了她I saw her.我看到了她Its nice to meet you.很高兴见到你。

Its nice to meet you.很高兴见到你In both of these examples, I stressed the main verb.在这两个例句中，我重读了主要动词The other words did not get as much stress.。

其它词读得没有那么重The next time you listen to Americans speak, pay careful attention to how they stress verbs.。

下一次你听美国人说话的时候，请特别注意他们是如何重读动词的Make careful note of how they do not stress helping, or auxiliary verbs.。

请特别注意他们没有重读助动词With time and careful study, you will stress words much like Americans do!随着时间的积累和认真研究，你会像美国人一样重读单词的！。

Thats all for today!今天就到这里！Keep up the good work.继续努力。
