William: Well, your father, he's good. He doesn't have vices. You know what a vice is? A vice is like a bad habit, like bitin' your nails, but worse. 你的爸爸非常好。他没有什么恶习。你知道恶习是什么吗？恶习就是一个很坏的习惯，就像是咬手指盖，但是比这个更糟。

那到底什么词该重读呢？

一句话里重读的词：实词（有实际含义的词），主要包括名词、动词、形容词和副词

那么没有实际含义的功能性词通常不重读了，来看看典型的功能性词

代词: he, she, you, I, etc.
不定代词: some, any, somewhere, something, etc.
介词: at, in, to, for, etc.
连词: and, but, or, so, etc.
冠词: a, an, the, etc.
助动词: is, was, am, are, do, have, can, etc.

William: Well, your father, he's good. He doesn't have vices. You know what a vice is? A vice is like a bad habit, like bitin' your nails, but worse.

小提示，一些不该重读的词
代词: he, your father的your
介词: like
连词: but
冠词: a
助动词: doesn't
其他: bad habit的bad
