用法說明

accentuation of vs. accentuation on

  • accentuation of 通常用於表示「對某事物本身的強調或突出」,焦點在於被強調的對象。
  • accentuation on 則更常表示「將重點或注意力放在某個特定方面、主題或元素上」,強調的是施加重點的「位置」或「領域」。
  • 在許多情況下,兩者可以互換,但細微差別在於 of 偏向「歸屬」(屬於誰的強調),而 on 偏向「方向」(強調點落在何處)。
  • 在學術或正式寫作中,accentuation on 可能更常用於描述對某個議題、特徵或原則的着重。 EN: The accentuation of the final syllable is crucial in this language. 翻譯: 在這門語言中,最後一個音節的重讀至關重要。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Accentuation"?Which "Accentuation" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×The accentuation of the word is on the second syllable.

The accentuation of the word is on the second syllable.

雖然這句話在文法上正確,但對於學習者來說,使用 'accentuation' 來描述單一單字的音節重音並不自然。在英語中,'accentuation' 更常指一種強調或凸顯的過程或系統,而非單一的重音位置。

×He put an accentuation on the wrong word.

He put the accent on the wrong word.

'Accentuation' 是一個抽象名詞,指強調的動作或系統,通常不用來指具體的『一個重音』。在談論具體的口語重音時,應使用 'accent' 或 'stress'。

×This language has a difficult accentuation.

This language has a difficult accent/stress pattern.

描述一種語言的重音系統或模式時,使用 'accentuation' 並不常見且聽起來不自然。更地道的說法是 'accent pattern', 'stress pattern', 或 'system of accent/stress'。

×She used accentuation to make her point.

She used emphasis to make her point.

在一般對話或寫作中,為了使論點更突出而使用『強調』時,'emphasis' 是更常見、更自然的用詞。'Accentuation' 在這種語境下聽起來過於正式或學術化。

×I need to practice my accentuation.

I need to practice my pronunciation/intonation/stress.

'Accentuation' 不是一個用來描述個人需要練習的語言技能(如發音、語調、重音)的常用詞。學習者應根據具體想練習的方面,使用更精確的詞彙,如 'pronunciation'(發音)、'intonation'(語調)或 'word stress'(單詞重音)。
