E11| Flipped the Serious Willies Chapter11 笔记
第十一章标题中的willies是“心里发毛,满心不自在”。
在文中是指Bryce对父亲的感觉,他领悟到父亲和Garrett都会将取笑他人当成一种幽默感,这让他感到非常不舒服:

当一个青春期男孩发现他一直以来崇拜的父亲并非是那样高大的人物,特别是与别人的父亲相比,自己的父亲显得虚伪、高傲而且心胸狭隘,那种心理上的冲击对他来说是相当大的。时不时地,周围还经常有人说自己十分像父亲。在之前与朱莉哥哥相处的过程中,布莱斯就觉察到自己都觉得自己像个陌生人。
朱莉一家到布莱斯家中做客,布莱斯发现的朱莉比平常穿着还要随意些,感觉到朱莉还在生他的起,其实内心是不情愿赴约的。布莱斯有点胆怯,想道歉又苦于找不到机会,好不容易鼓起勇气加入谈话,却发现讨论的主体是永动机,自己一窍不通,朱莉反而滔滔不绝,场面令人抓狂又嫉妒。
on top of that, she looked more like that stupid picture in the paper than the picture did , if that makes any sense. Not because she was all dressed up---she wasn't.She was wearing some normal-looking dress and normal-looking shoes, and her hair was the way it always is except maybe a little more brushed out. It was the way she was looking at everything but me, with her shoulders back and her chin out and her eyes flashing.

重读音节
重读音节是承担重音的发音突出的音节。重音有通过增加音强来表示的力重音和通过音高的变化来表示的乐调重音。
依据重音位置,语言的重音性质可以分为固定重音和自由重音。
例如:法语词汇的重读音节总是词的末音节;与法语相反的是捷克语,它的重读音节总是词的首音节,而波兰语却独特一些,重读音节总是词汇的倒数第二个音节,因此,这些语言的重音称为固定重音(fixed stress),而英语和俄语的重音则是自由重音(free stress)。
对于自由重音语言,单词的重音一般在重读音节前面或元音上标出重音符号。重读音节 单词中读音特别响亮的音节。重读符号为“”,标注在重读音节前左上方,如:[tmru],也可以直接在单词里标注,如:tomorrow。次重读符号“”,标注在重读音节前左下方。
在双音节词和多音节词中,必有一个音节读得较其他音节重而强,这个音节称为重读音节。其余的音节读得轻而弱,称为非重读音节。有的多音节词可能有两个重音,其中一个是主要重音,另一个是次重音,或两个都是主要重音。主要重音用 “ ”表示,加在重读音节前的左上方;次重音也用“ ”表示,但加在次重音节前的左下方。
