音節(jié)是英語當中最小的單位。每個音節(jié)含有一個音節(jié)核，通常由元音音素構成，輔音是音節(jié)的分界線。所以，音節(jié)就分成單音節(jié)、雙音節(jié)和多音節(jié)。

A.單音節(jié)詞

1.兩輔音之間不管有多少個元音，一般都是一個音節(jié)。如：bed，seat， beauty。

2.兩元音字母之間有一個輔音字母時，輔音字母歸后一音節(jié)，如：student，labour。

3.有兩個輔音字母時，一個輔音字母歸前一音節(jié)，一個歸后一音節(jié)，如：letter，winter

4.不能拆分的字母組合按字母組合劃分音節(jié)。如：father，teacher。

B.雙音節(jié)詞

一般在第一個音節(jié)重讀。如：sorry, movie, cover

1.有 a-, be-, de-, re-, res-, in-, im-, en-, em-, es-, ex-, con-, com-,dis-, mis-, pre-, per-, pro-, trans- 等前綴的詞，第二個音節(jié)是重音。如： believe, decide

2.有 de-, in-, re-, con-, pre- 等前綴的重音與詞義和詞類有關, 一般名詞的重音在第一個音節(jié)上，其它的詞性在第二個音節(jié)上。如：present present
