英语流利朗读的方法朗读英语在语音上要注意什么?怎样读才能让听者听得清楚?怎样增进英语流利感?我们特地将朗读中要注意的几个语音问题简要总结如下:1. 语调、语气语调的轻重缓急、跌宕起伏能直接反映说话人所要表达的思想感情。
英语的语调主要是通过句子呈现出来的。
说英语不能像汉语那样一个字一个字的来说单词,而是要根据英语单词的音节在句子中来连贯表达。
(汉语中一个汉字就是一个音节,英语中一个单词可以有一个、两个甚至多个音节)也就是说它的旋律音调模式是句子结构的一部分,而不是词的结构的一部分,这就是英语语调和汉语语调的主要区别。
这就是为什么有的同学每一个单词都发得很标准,可是我们觉得他或她说的英语却不怎么好的原因所在。
在英语中一句话的词汇意义是受语调影响的,英语中常用三种语调:降调、升调、降升调。
同一个句子语调不同传达的意义就不同。
比较下列各句:(1)That’s not the one he wants.(2)That’s not the one he wants.(3)That’s not the one he wants.句(1)降调表示陈述事实;句(2)升调表示寻求信息的疑问;句(3)降升调表示他想要的还有别的。
再如“Be careful”这样一句简单的话,用不同的语调便会使它具有不同的意思。
2. 几个需要练习的音[e] [æ] bed bad; men, man; pen, pan; lend land[i:] [ei] real rail; greet, great; mean, main; read raid[e] [ai] bet bite; red write; said side, head, hide[au] [ɔ:] house horse; loud lord; south sauce; now nor; count corn;[au] [Λ] found fond; gown gone; down don[v] [w] vet wet; vest west; vine wine; very well[s] [θ] sink think; sort thought; miss myth; mass math[z] [ð] closing clothing; breeze breathe; bays bathes[n] [η] thin thing; sin sing; ban bang; win wing; ran rang3. 节奏重视英语的节奏特点,如节奏群,重读音节,弱读式,停顿,失去爆破,连读以及升降调。
若能有针对性的进行练习,对于增进英语流利表达大有益处。
(1)失去爆破。
是指两个辅音相邻发出时,前面的辅音如是爆破音会出现吞音的现象,主要有如下三种情况:a.爆破音:/ p, b, t, d, k, g /中任何两个音相邻接时,第一个发不完全爆破音或失去爆破。
Doctor, blackboard, handbag, sit down, next door, a bad cold, agood time, a red tie, good-bye, bad boy。
b.摩擦音: /s, z/, /f, v/, /r/,/h/, 破擦音:爆破音后如果出现摩擦音或破擦音,第一个爆破音发不完全爆破音,但只能听到极轻的爆声,主要是听后面的摩擦音或破擦音的声音:absent, box, eighth, picture, subjecta big change, a good child, a red shirt, a black jacket, keep them, write this,bedside like this, stop John, good change, lecturec.爆破音与鼻辅音/ m, n, /good morning, big nose, last month, a good mechanic, bad meaning, beat me,bad name(2)省音或叫音的同化。
指在快速的日常谈话中,某个音的消失。
它分为历史的省音和语境的省音。
省音大致分为元音的省略和辅音的省略。
元音的省略主要是指元音[ə]和非重读音节[i]的省略,以及两词之间间界元音的省略。
如easily,go away,fifths、boys’n’girls(男孩们和女孩们)试练习:this year, Would you do it? Can't you see it?(3)连读。
在英语中,前一个词的末尾音与后一个词的起首音紧密联系在一起读的方式,我们称之为“连读”。
英语口语注重语调的连贯。
在连贯的言语里,中间没有停顿隔开的两个词应当流畅地、自然地连接在一起。
连读一般只出现在语句意义密切相关的两个或三个词之间,共有三种形式的连读。
a.辅音(除了[r] [w]和[j])+元音:单词末尾的辅音同以元音开头的单词连读,如read it、brush up。
knock him out[ ] I’ve got a lot of work to do [ ]b.元音+元音:相连接的两个词前一个词的词尾和后一个词的词首都是元音时,也可以连读,中间不必停顿:Go on, stay up, who else, may I, my only son, her English teacher。
c.[r]+元音:词末连接音[r]和与元音的连读,如there is [ðiriz]、idea of it。
d. / j /音连读this year, bless you, as usual, here’s yours, I’ll meet you there, don’t you knowthat? Would you mind opening the door? Don’t you like them?试练习:not at all, half an hour, I love you and all. after all4. 句子重音(1)英语的节奏:(轻)-轻-重-轻-(轻)或重-轻-(轻)(轻)重(2)英语句子的长短:是由句子中的重读词的数目决定的,而不是象汉语那样由句子中的汉字数目决定的。
(3)实词重读(副词重读),虚词轻读(冠词,单音节介词,单音节连词,人称代词,反代词,物主代词,关系代词,相互代词,助动词,情态动词和系动词be.)(4)实词不重读的特殊情况a. 实词第二次出现He thinks of that as a child thinks.b. 一个名词被第二个名词修饰I met her in the railway station.c. 代替词Which book do you want? The small one.d. 感叹词中的what 和howWhat a good day it is! How beautiful she is!e. street 在专有名词中Wangfujing Street.f. this 在这些短语中,this morning/afternoon/evening(5)虚词重读的特殊情况a. 情态动词,助动词和系动词be 在句首,句尾和否定时。
Do you like it? Yes, I do. Are you a doctor? Yes, I am. Can you help me? Yes, I can.I don't like you. He isn’t a worker.b. 情态动词表示可能,惊奇和肯定时。
They may come this evening. Can it be five already? He must be in the room.c. 介词在句首和句尾。
In the box, he found a letter. He is the person I talked with.d. 引导复合句的连词在句首。
If you wish, I'll visit you. When he comes, I'll tell him.e.反身代词表示强调。
He couldn't come himself.W1、Day 1 Much to Live For 生命的追求热爱生活,让生命的体验成为一段美丽的乐符。

There is so much I have not been, so much I have not seen. I have not thought and have not done or felt enough—the early sun, rain and the seasonal delight of flocks of ducks and geese in flight, the mysteries of late-at-night. I still need time to read a book, write poems, paint a picture, look at scenes and faces dear to me. There is something more to be of value—something I should find within myself—as peace of mind, patience, grace and being kind. I shall take and I shall give, while yet, there is so much to live for—rainbows, stars that gleam, the fields, the hills, the hope, the dreams, the truth that one must seek. I’ll stay here—treasure every day and love the world in my own way![注释]:seasonal delight: 季节性的喜悦mystery: something that is not fully understood 秘密,谜grace: a characteristic or quality pleasing for its charm 魅力,优雅rainbow: a graded display of colors 虹,彩虹gleam: to emit a gleam; flash or glow 闪光;闪烁或发光;闪耀Day 2 Yao Ming: New Center Style 姚明:新式中锋If 20 years ago you asked the average American basketball fan if a Chinese man could play center for an NBA team, his answer might have sounded something like this: “Ha ha. No, he’d be too short!”But now, the doubters are silent. Who closed their mouths? Houston Rockets,2.26-meter-tall center Yao Ming, from China.Yao Ming grew up in a family of basketball players. When he was12, Yao Ming started going to an athletics academy outside of Shanghai and later spent a lot of time studying NBA games televised in China.All this has paid off. Yao’s first NBA honor was his ranking asnumber-one draft pick, and he’s been elected for a Rookie-of-the-Month award. Yao Ming has a style different from those of tall centers in the past.He rarely goes for the flashy slams. He’d rather show off his silk-smooth free-throw shots, or use his height to pop in jump shots from thethree-point line.[注释]:doubter: 持怀疑态度的人athletics: activities, such as sports, exercises, and games, that require physical skill 体育运动academy: 学院televise: to broadcast or be broadcast by television (电视)播放pay off:还清,赢利ranking: of the highest rank 排名draft: a system in which the exclusive rights to new players are distributed among professional teams (美国)职业运动的选秀pick: the act of selecting or choosing; choice 挑选rookie: a first-year player, especially in a professional sport 新秀选手flashy: cheap and showy; gaudy 花哨的,华丽的slam: to hit something with force; crash 灌篮show off:炫耀pop in:投入Day 3 Tall Tale 吹牛关于吹牛,中国文化和西方文化的幽默方式真是不一样。
