📚 核心近义词

1. numb [nʌm] - 生理性麻木

2. insensitive [ɪnˈsensətɪv] - 感觉迟钝

4. unfeeling [ʌnˈfiːlɪŋ] - 缺乏同情心

💡 顾老师提示:"numb"侧重生理反应,"insensitive"强调感知能力差,"apathetic"指情感冷漠,"unfeeling"则带有道德评判意味。

🔊 发音对比

numb:/nʌm/ [nʌm](注意b不发音)

insensitive:/ɪnˈsensətɪv/ [ɪnˈsen-sə-tiv]

apathetic:/ˌæpəˈθetɪk/ [æ-pə-THET-ik]

unfeeling:/ʌnˈfiːlɪŋ/ [un-FEE-ling]

发音要点:

  • "numb"中的b不发音,类似"num"
  • "insensitive"重音在第二音节
  • "apathetic"注意θ的咬舌音
  • "unfeeling"连读时n与f要清晰区分

💡 顾老师纠音:常见错误:

  • 把"numb"读成[nʌmb](正确:[nʌm])
  • "apathetic"的重音错误放在第一音节
  • "insensitive"漏读中间的[t]音
