Syllable是什么意思

"Syllable" is a unit of pronunciation in speech that consists of a vowel sound, and may also contain one or more consonant sounds, though it may start or end with a vowel sound. In English, syllables are usually made up of a single vowel sound, such as the "ah" in "car," or they can contain a vowel and one or more consonants, like the "str" in "street."

Syllables are an important part of language study and are used in poetry, singing, and speech to help with rhythm and meter. They can also be used in teaching children to read and speak, as well as in foreign language learning.
