realism 是由 real 这个词演变过来的,为了保持词根的完整,音节划分处在字母 l 后面。
listen 从拼写上看,字群 -sten 被划分到不同的音节里,因为前面重读音节里的元字符读短音,s 被划分到前面一个音节里。从读音上来看,字母 t 不发音,[s] 音被划分到成音节里。
seven 从拼写上看,字母 v 被划分到前一个音节里,从读音上看,[v] 音被划分到成音节里。

English spelling is not good to guide its pronunciation. But spelling and pronunciation have closed relationship. They match each other perfectly. Sometimes we can pronounce a word according to its spelling. English pronunciation can also guide its spelling. This is a two-way communication.
