🔊 相关词汇发音

浸没(submerge):/səbˈmɜːdʒ/ [səbˈmɜːdʒ]

沉没(sink):/sɪŋk/ [sɪŋk]

发音对比:

  • "submerge"重音在第二音节,注意"b"不发音
  • "sink"为单音节词,注意清晰的"ŋk"结尾
  • "overflow"重音在第一个音节/ˈəʊvəfləʊ/
  • "engulf"读作/ɪnˈɡʌlf/,重音在第二音节

中文谐音参考:

submerge:色伯-么之(重读"么之")

engulf:因-嘎尔夫(重读"嘎尔夫")

💡 顾老师纠音:常见发音错误:

  • 错误1:把"submerge"读成"萨伯merge"(正确:[səbˈmɜːdʒ]
  • 错误2:"sink"词尾发成"sing"(应保持"nk"爆破)
  • 错误3:"overflow"重音错放在"flow"上

1. 浸没 vs 淹没 → 浸没强调完全覆盖,淹没侧重结果

The city was submerged after the dam broke. (完全覆盖)

2. 沉没 vs 淹没 → 沉没专指船只下沉

The ship sank to the bottom of the sea. (船只)
The village was flooded after heavy rain. (区域)

3. 比喻用法 → 吞没多用于抽象概念

She was engulfed by sadness. (情感淹没)

语法注意:

  • "submerge"多为及物动词:submerge sth
  • "sink"不规则变化:sink-sank-sunk
  • "overflow"可作及物/不及物动词
