🔊 发音指导

motivate

/ˈməʊtɪveɪt/ [ˈməʊtɪveɪt](英式)

/ˈmoʊtɪveɪt/ [ˈmoʊtɪveɪt](美式)

drive

/draɪv/ [draɪv]

impel

/ɪmˈpel/ [ɪmˈpel]

发音要点:

  • motivate重音在第一个音节,注意"tive"发/tɪv/
  • drive注意"dr"组合发音,结尾"ve"要轻
  • impel重音在第二个音节,注意"pel"发音类似"pell"

💡 顾老师纠音:常见错误:

  • 把motivate读成/məʊˈtaɪv/(正确:[ˈməʊtɪveɪt]
  • impel漏掉第一个"m"音(正确:[ɪmˈpel]
  • drive读成/draɪf/(正确:[draɪv]
