你好呀,欢迎收听英语考试Cat🐱🐱🐱🐱
很多备考雅思口语的小伙伴,很关心自己的英语发音。这一期教你让英语发音突飞猛进的方法。
我的方法很简单,就4个词:
停顿、重读、不读、连读
接下来,我详细解释这4个词的含义,并附带练习的句子。
第1个词:
1. 停顿
我刻意把“停顿”放到最前面,因为其它3个方法,都是以停顿为前提的。
当一句话比较长的时候,我们可以按意思,把句子分成几个小块,每个小块就是一个意群,意群和意群之间稍微停顿即可,这样就会显得很有节奏,也方便听众抓取关键信息。
我截取了乔布斯在斯坦福大学演讲的几句话,来举例。
I am honored to be with you today / at your commencement / from one of the finest universities / in the world.
单独看任何一个意群,它的意思是完整的:
- I am honored to be with you today
- at your commencement
- from one of the finest universities
- in the world
当然,你可以不用划分这么多意群,具体划多少,看自己的肺活量吧,哈哈。
同理,接下来这几句话,我们在朗读之前,先在纸上、屏幕上,或脑子里划分意群:
Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten / to a college graduation.
Today I want to tell you / three stories from my life.
The first story is about / connecting the dots.
I dropped out of Reed College / after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in / for another 18 months or so / before I really quit.
了解意群后,我们来看第2个词:
2. 重(zhong)读
一句话里比较重要的词(多为实词),比如名词、动词、形容词、副词,或你想强调的词,读重一点。
举例:
I am honored to be with you today / at your commencement / from one of the finest universities in the world.
I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I’ve ever gotten to a college graduation.
Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots.
目前为止,我们学习了意群和重读,现在来看第3个词:
3. 不读
我就不用高深的术语了(对,说的就是“失去爆破”)。
大前提:在同一个意群的、两个相邻的词。当前一个词的词尾为:
k/g/t/d/p/b这些音,后一个词的开头为辅音,那么,前一个词词尾的/k/g/t/d/p/d等辅音,不用发出来。
如果你实在不知道什么是辅音,那就看后一个词的开头,是不是辅音字母(除了A/E/I/O/U,其它英语字母都为辅音字母)。
有一点得注意,前一个词词尾的辅音,虽然不用读出来,但最好顿半秒,把位置还是要给人家留出来。
举例:
honored to
at your
want to
big deal
just three
first story
the first six months
but then
第4个词:
4. 连读
大前提:在同一个意群的、两个相邻的词。
当前一个词为辅音结尾,后一个词为元音开头,这个时候,可以把两个词连起来读。
举例:
one of
this is
that's it
out of
小提示:t的左右两边都是元音字母的时候,发音可以浊化成/d/。
stayed around
as a drop-in
did I
drop out
现在,我们一起练习读这几句话。
- ' 表示这个词要重读
- 下划线表示连读
- / 表示停顿
- 横线表示不读、顿半秒
I am 'honored to be with you today / at your 'commencement / from one of the 'finest 'universities in the world. I 'never graduated from college. 'Truth be told, this is the 'closest I’ve ever gotten / to a 'college graduation.
'Today / I want to tell you 'three stories from my life. That’s it. 'No big deal. Just 'three stories.
The 'first story is about / 'connecting the dots.
I 'dropped out of 'Reed College / after the 'first '6 months, but then 'stayed around as a 'drop-in / for 'another '18 'months or so / before I 'really quit. So 'why did I drop out?
总结一下,让英语发音突飞猛进的方法,就八个字:
停顿、重读、不读、连读
下次看到任何英语句子,都先停下来,每句话都做4种标记,再朗读。
下次开口讲英语,也刻意训练“停顿、重读、不读、连读”,长此以往,你的发音就会嗖嗖嗖,提上去。
希望对你有帮助。
