2. discuss(讨论)

🔊 发音对比

debate:/dɪˈbeɪt/ [dɪˈbeɪt]

discuss:/dɪˈskʌs/ [dɪˈskʌs]

argue:/ˈɑːɡjuː/ [ˈɑːɡjuː]

confer:/kənˈfɜːr/ [kənˈfɜːr]

发音要点:

  • debate重音在第二音节,结尾"t"要轻
  • discuss的"cus"发/kʌs/(类似"卡斯")
  • argue的"gue"发/gjuː/(类似"究")
  • confer重音在"fer",注意鼻音

💡 顾老师纠音:常见错误:

  • 把debate读成"迪贝特"(正确:[dɪˈbeɪt])
  • discuss词尾加"ion"(错误:discussion是名词形式)
  • argue的"r"不卷舌(英式可不卷,美式需卷舌)

🎯 用法辨析

1. debate vs discuss

We'll debate the motion (正式辩论) vs Let's discuss it over coffee (非正式讨论)

2. argue的两种用法

They're arguing angrily (争吵) vs She argued her point logically (理性论证)

3. confer的特殊用法

The university will confer a degree (授予学位) vs They need to confer (商议)

搭配注意:

  • debate on/about + 话题
  • discuss + 直接宾语(不加介词)
  • argue with + 人;argue about + 事
  • confer with + 人;confer on + 专业话题
