可能日常很多老师教授英语口语的练习,大多以表述方式、单词的使用有关,当然,我们不得不承认,这些都是习得英语口语不可或缺的因素,但是事实上,它们却并非是英语口语句子的唯一元素,在英语口语的习得中,还包含一些微小却需要重视的元素。

英语口语,自然便是用于日常生活交际所用,对于掌握口语的要求,唯地道是也!那么如何才能做到讲出一口流利地道的英语口语?除了掌握必要的常用单词之外,连读和轻重音也是其中很重要的元素之一。下面,我们就来教授大家一些技巧吧!
下面我们先来看一段句子,大家可以试着以自己常用的方式来朗读一遍,标注出自己觉得正确的重音位置:
Our school is
the best in town. The teachers are friendly, and very knowledgeable about
English. I've studied at the school for two years and my English is becoming
very good. I hope you will visit our school and try an English class. Maybe we
can become friends, too!
其实在语言中,语气也是一个重要的表达方式,不管是疑问还是感叹,亦或是震惊的表述,都是可以用语气表达出来的,就像我们比较熟悉的汉语中的语气词:啊,呀,吧等等。在英语中,表达语气的一个重要方式,便是轻重音以及声调的方式了。
下面我们再来看看上述句子应该有的重音部分,不妨看看自己的有什么出入?
Our school is the BEST in town. The teachers are friendly, and VERY
KNOWLEDGEABLE about English. I've studied at the school for two years and my
English is becoming VERY GOOD. I hope you will visit our school and try an
English class. MAYBE we can become FRIENDS!
不难看出,不管是BEST、VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE;还是VERY GOOD、MAYBE、FRIENDS,这些重音部分的所在都是句子中的关键词,也是说话人最想告诉我们的重要信息,所以我们几乎可以掌握一个规律:在英语中,需要以重音标注的,就是句子中比较关键的词语。
下面再来一段长的:
In this day and age, facts, statistics and other numbers are used to
prove everything. Intuition, gut feelings and personal preferences are all out
the door. Of course, there are some who are trying to battle this trend.
Recently, Malcolm Gladwell wrote Blink, a best-seller which explores the
usefulness of making split-second decisions based on intuition rather than
careful consideration of all the facts and figures.
In this book, Gladwell argues that initial impressions - or
gut-feelings - are quite rational. However, that this "split-second"
thinking process moves faster than what we usually associate with thinking. If
you are one of these people - and there are many of us - Blink provides
"proof" that you're actually quite a rational human being.
我们来看看这段文章的重音位置:
In this day and age, facts, statistics and other numbers are used to
prove EVERYTHING. Intuition, gut feelings and personal preferences are all OUT
THE DOOR. Of course, there ARE some who are trying to battle this trend.
Recently, Malcolm Gladwell wrote BLINK, a best-seller which explores the
USEFULNESS of making SPLIT-SECOND DECISIONS based on INTUITION rather than

可能在重轻音的区别方面,没有那么有规则的章法来规范,但是只要不嫌麻烦,多加练习、多读、多听、多看,要掌握它,也不是难事!
