单词的构成决定了怎么记忆（识别单词的音形关系是记单词的关键）
单词的构成决定了怎么记忆（识别单词的音形关系是记单词的关键）以元音字母双组合为例，其组合读音如下：单词中的音形关系还可以体现在字母组合上，即两个或两个以上字母组合在一起对应一个音素，英语单词中常见字母组合的音形关系有：比如元音字母A 可读[ei ]： favourite ['feivərit] face [feis] plane [plein] potato [pə'teitəu] skate [skeit] make [meik] lake [leik] take [teik] save [seiv] station ['steiʃən] safe [seif] 在这些单词中的字母A都是处于重读开音节中。元音字母A也可读[æ]hamburger ['hæmbə:gə] math [mæθ] rabbit ['ræbit] bank [bæŋk] accident ['æksidənt] happen
一、单词的音形关系任何一个单词都是音与形的结合，掌握单词的音形关系是记单词的关键。单词的音是指英语48个音素，单词的形是指英语26个字母及字母结合。单词的音形关系比较复杂，是一种非对称关系，即一个形可以对应多个音，一个音也可以对应多个音，还有的形与音不对应，即字母或字母组合在单词中不发音。
二、影响音形关系的要素
单词的音形关系虽然复杂，但音形之间的关系还是有一定的规律可循的。影响单词音形关系的要素包括音节类型，音节的重读与否和音节内相邻之间的音素相互影响。
1.音节与重读的影响
比如元音字母A 可读[ei ]： favourite ['feivərit] face [feis] plane [plein] potato [pə'teitəu] skate [skeit] make [meik] lake [leik] take [teik] save [seiv] station ['steiʃən] safe [seif] 在这些单词中的字母A都是处于重读开音节中。元音字母A也可读[æ]hamburger ['hæmbə:gə] math [mæθ] rabbit ['ræbit] bank [bæŋk] accident ['æksidənt] happen ['hæpən] exam [ig'zæm]在这些单词中的字母A都是处于重读闭音节中。
2. 相邻之间的音素相互影响
同样以字母A为例，元音字母A还可读[ɔ] washroom ['wɔʃrum] watch [wɔtʃ] wash [wɔʃ] was [wɔz] Washington ['wɔʃiŋtən] 在这些单词的共同特点就是字母A跟在W后，再如class [klɑ:s] ask [ɑ:sk] past [pɑ:st] basket ['bɑ:skit] glass [glɑ:s] pass [pɑ:s]，在这些单词的共同特点就是字母A位于摩擦音[s]前。再如爆破音位于鼻音前后不发音，know [nəʊ] climb [klaɪm] sign [saɪn]。
三、字母组合的音形关系单词中的音形关系还可以体现在字母组合上，即两个或两个以上字母组合在一起对应一个音素，英语单词中常见字母组合的音形关系有：
以元音字母双组合为例，其组合读音如下：
