提高英語發(fā)音的方法

　　1.學習弱讀

　　為什么母語者講話會那么快?因為他們經常會將句子中一些不重要的單詞輕輕帶過，也就是我們所說的“弱讀”。

　　比如，for，正常讀音為/fɔːɾ/，弱讀形式為/fəɾ/.

　　Eg1. This is for the meeting on Monday.

　　Eg2. I am going to be late for class.

　　如果你預期聽到的讀音是/fɔːɾ/，而實際上你聽到的卻是/fəɾ/.那么你很可能就不會意識到它就是for.

　　2 學習連讀

　　英語是一種十分連貫的語言，不像漢語發(fā)音講究每個字每個詞發(fā)音獨立和清晰。英語母語者說起英語來像唱歌一樣，前一個單詞的結尾和后一個單詞的開頭經常會連起來發(fā)音，并且有自己的節(jié)奏在里面。很普遍的一個中式發(fā)音問題就是，許多人說英語跟說漢語一樣，每個單詞都被獨立地說出來，聽起來讓人感覺很生硬。

　　我們總是覺得英語聽力音頻里語速太快，一個原因是他們會經常使用單詞的弱讀形式，另外一個原因就是連讀了。舉個簡單的例子：Can I help you? 這里can 和I就可以練起來讀。an apple, an 和apple的a也是可以連讀。連讀的形式多種多樣，如果想練好英語口音的話還需要系統(tǒng)的學習。

　　3 學習語調(intonation)

　　另一個經常被英語學習者忽視的地方就是語調(intonation)了。Intonation describes how the voice rises and falls in speech. 語調就是指聲音的升降了。你會不會覺得英語母語者說話自帶一種節(jié)奏，就跟漢語中的抑揚頓挫一樣。語調這種東西必須要多聽多體會。比如當你問一個問題時，尤其是答案為yes或no的問題時，例如：Are you going to school today? 語調應該是上升的。

　　除此之外，還要注意每個單詞的重音，比如economy, 重音在第二個音節(jié);adjective，重音在第一個音節(jié)。而在每個句子中，不同單詞的音調也有所不同，一般來說句子中單詞重音在名詞，動詞，形容詞等實詞上，而非介詞，連詞等虛詞。

　　4 聽寫練習

　　找一段30秒到1分鐘的段音頻，一句一句聽寫，第一遍沒有聽到的單詞第二遍第三遍再去補齊，有時候你只聽到了一個單詞發(fā)音，但并不知道是哪個單詞，也不知道如何拼寫，你可以根據(jù)自己聽到的聲音大概地拼寫一下。如此反復，直到你聽出了所有的單詞，或者你實在聽不出某些單詞了。

　　接下來對照文本，標出哪些你沒有聽出來的地方，然后，找出你為什么沒有聽出來的原因。是因為單詞不認識?自己對這個單詞的讀音有錯誤?語速太快?沒有意識到這個單詞被弱讀了或者跟前后的單詞連讀了?

　　找出原因之后在對癥下藥。繼續(xù)聽原音頻，體會哪些你沒有聽出來的地方，一遍一遍，直到你熟悉那種發(fā)音模式。

　　網絡上帶文本的音頻資源有很多，比如我們公眾號每天推送的Diary of a wimpy kid就可以做為聽寫的入門材料。其他資源有TED talks，VOA, BBC, 并且這些資源都是分難度等級的，大家選擇適合自己水平的材料就好。但是提醒大家：千萬不要只囤資源，而不去學習!

　　5 使用youglish.com

　　這個網站超級強大，你可以輸入任意一個單詞或者一句話進行檢索，然后你就會看到很多包含這個單詞或者句子的視頻，也就是說，你可以聽到不同的人說同樣的一句話，體會他們在說這句話的語音語調，以及以上提到的需要注意的發(fā)音現(xiàn)象。

　　聽不同的人來說某個單詞或某句話，訓練你的耳朵，直到你的耳朵非常熟悉這句話，不管從任何人的嘴里說出這句話，你都能聽出來。
