音节

"Third, the Chinese language has only a little more than 400 syllables, which makes it rich in homophones and simple in rhyme schemes."

第三，汉语音节数目仅有400余个，因而其同音字特别多，押韵就特别容易。

"Why" is all that love can speak — Built of but just a syllable The hugest hearts that break.

&Why&是它唯一能说的—仅由一个音节构成，破碎的最巨大的心。

In World War I the British gave the Germans the nickname "Jerries"from the first syllable of German.

一战时，英国人根据&德国人&这个英语单词的第一个音节叫他们&德国佬&。

Extensive foreign accent studies have long recognized the crucial role of second language (L2) prosody to successfully convey linguistic and pragmatic meaning in exchanges with native speakers. However, much less work has been dedicated to the prosodic differences in fundamental frequency (F0), intensity, and duration between Taiwanese advanced English speakers and native English speakers. In order to bridge the gap, the present thesis (1) compares the acoustic features between compounds and phrases,(2) compares the acoustic correlates in English compound and phrasal stress between NNG and NG, and (3) examine if NNG can differentiate compounds from phrases.

中文摘要本研究的所探讨的问题有三个，第一，比较英语复合词及片语重音在声学上的差异，尤其是在重音节上的比较；第二，比较台湾高等英语学习者在英语复合词及片语重音上与以英语为母语的外国人有什麼声学上的差异，此声学上的差异又分为三大类：音高(F0)、音量、音长，下又细分成14个参数；第三，我们也探讨台湾高等英语学习者是否能在声学特质展现区别复合词与片语的现象。

One of the commonest faults of writing is the use of long and many-syllabled words when short, simple words would do as well.

写作的一个最常见的毛病/通病之一就是能用简短的单词时非要使用多音节长单词。

A long syllable is equivalent to two moras.

长音节相当于两个

Super-frame structure with 2 base frames and 4 interpolate frames is used, the LPC coefficients of interpolate frames is quantized with 4 stages residual matrix quantization based on optimal 1-order linear prediction. In the decoder, a closed loop estimation of the impulse magnitude is proposed to improve the naturalness of speech and the articulation of nasals.

插值帧的线性预测参数采用基于闭环最优一阶线性预测的4阶段残差矩阵量化；在解码端，提出了闭环的激励脉冲幅度估计方法，提高了合成语音的自然度与鼻音音节的清晰度。

It also shows that Chinese preserves its language-particular property,i.e.only non-labial nasals are allowed in coda position,by top-ranking the faithfulness constraint IDENT-IO.

同时，笔者认为忠实性制约条件IDENT—IO亦居制约条件等级的首位，因此，汉语音节保留了汉语所独有的特点，即韵尾只允许非唇音鼻音。

In Egyptian magic a mere agglomeration of vowels or of meaningless syllables was supposed to work good or evil.

在埃及的神奇仅仅团聚的元音或毫无意义的音节是要工作好或邪恶。

Instead of closed voicings, what we're using here is a principle called 'drop two,' which means basically, take the second voice and drop it down one octave.

代替相邻音节，我们在这里用的是最基本的降两音，也就是把第二个音降一个八度。

We have no common name for a mime of Sophron or Xenarchus and a Socratic Conversation; and we should still be without one even if the imitation in the two instances were in trimeters or elegiacs or some other kind of verse--though it is the way with people to tack on 'poet' to the name of a metre, and talk of elegiac-poets and epic-poets, thinking that they call them poets not by reason of the imitative nature of their work, but indiscriminately by reason of the metre they write in.

索夫农 、森那库斯和苏格拉底式的对话采用的模仿没有一个公共的名称；三音步诗、挽歌体或其他类型的诗的模仿也没有——人们把&诗人&这一名词和格律名称结合到一起，称之为挽歌体诗人或者史诗诗人，他们被称为诗人，似乎只是因为遵守格律写作，而非他们作品的模仿本质。

The relationship between communicative competence and grammar teaching should be that of the ends and the means.

交际能力和语法的关系应该是目标与途径的关系。
