　　復合詞中的第二部分不標注重音符號，但其中的元音字母或元音字組仍按重讀音節(jié)拼讀規(guī)則拼讀。
例如：
　　everyday[ei]
　　handbag[?]
　　blackboard[:]

　　有些詞隨著語言的發(fā)展，前后兩部分已失去其單獨存在的意義，融合成為一個詞。其中的非重讀部分要按非重讀音節(jié)的讀音規(guī)則發(fā)音。
例如：
　　sun太陽 + day[ei]日子 ＞ Sunday[i] 星期天
　　holy神圣 + day[ei]日子 ＞ holiday[i] 假日
　　break中斷 + fast[α:]齋戒 ＞ breakfast[] 早餐
　　cup茶杯 + board木板[:] ＞ cupboard[] 碗柜
