Brian美语发音和口语法则:
第一法则 为何要学习发音
Why you should study English pronunciation?
(IsaacZ注:上面的“you shoud”有语病,可能是Brian以口语行文,没有仔细推敲,大家不必计较。)
First impressions 第一印象
Pronunciation is definitely the biggest thing that people notice when you are speaking English. Let us tell you a personal anecdote『故事、轶事』about this:
We once went to a conversation class taught by native speaker (American). Before the class started, the teacher said to us: \teacher said \『听起来好像确实是这样』\
Notice that we just said three words and the teacher could already tell if our English was good or bad. Why did the teacher think our English was good? Because of the difficult words we used? No. Because we used advanced『高级的』grammar structures? No. It was our pronunciation.
When you meet a person, and you just say a sentence or two, do you think they will notice your poor vocabulary or bad grammar? Probably not. But they will notice if your pronunciation is good or bad. If your pronunciation is poor, they will immediately think about you as \who speaks bad English\
Communication 沟通
Good pronunciation should be one of the first things that you learn in English. You can live without advanced vocabulary—you can use simple words to say what you want to say. You can live without advanced grammar—you can use simple grammar structures instead. But there is no such thing as \pronunciation\If you don't have good pronunciation, you have... bad pronunciation.
And the results of bad pronunciation are tragic『可怜的』. Even if you use great vocabulary and grammar, people may simply not understand what you want to say.
For example, if you pronounce sleep like this, and not like that, or if you pronounce ghost like this instead of this, native speakers will have serious problems understanding you! In our opinion, you should know how to say English sounds like the ee in sleep or the o in ghost, before you even learn words like sleep and ghost.
Here is another story about this. After coming back from a vacation in the USA, a friend of mine said:
\I spoke to a person in America, they kept asking me \What?\I would repeat my sentence again and again. Finally they would say %using exactly my words! It was very humiliating『羞辱性的』. I knew my words and grammar were good, but nobody would understand me, just because of my pronunciation. I am very motivated to learn English now.\
Can you communicate in English? 你能否用英文交谈?
Almost all English learners say \don't need to study pronunciation. I just want to communicate in English.\can communicate with their teacher and other students.
Do not make this mistake! You have to remember that:
Your teacher has been listening to bad English for years. So he or she can understand it much more easily than the average person.『所以他/她比普通人更容易听懂(发音不好的人讲的英语)』
Other students are usually from the same country as you. Therefore, they speak English like you and they make the same mistakes. So it is easy for them to understand you.
The only true test is: Go to America or Britain and try to talk to \—a clerk『职员』at a supermarket『超市』, a bus driver, etc. If they can understand you, then you can say that you can communicate in English.
Unfortunately, many learners ignore『忽视』pronunciation. They can communicate in class, so they think that they are good enough. After a few years they go to England or the USA and nobody understands what they are saying. Remember My friend who went on vacation to America and couldn't communicate? He was the best student in his English class.
Communication is not enough 只是交流还不够
If you can communicate in English with people from other countries, congratulations! It's a big achievement『成就』. But it may not be enough.
If you are at Level 2 of pronunciation skill『发音处于二级水平』, your English is understandable『可以听懂』, but you have a strong foreign accent『外来口音』which is unpleasant『令人不愉快的』to other people.
We have already said that your pronunciation is important because it makes your first impression. This is certainly true--nobody will say that you speak good English if you have a foreign accent. But there is more. If you have a pleasant accent, people will simply enjoy talking to you. They will want to spend time with you. On the other hand, if your accent is bad, people may be even avoiding『逃避』you (consciously or unconsciously『自觉和不自觉地』).
The good news is that you can work on your pronunciation until you speak \and pleasant English\For example, you can learn the sounds of English, listen to recordings, watch English television, etc.
第二法则 到底要不要模仿美国人发音?
I think improving your accent in a foreign language is one thing and faking the accent another.
Taking accent lessons in order to improve your accent and to speak with an \『可接受的』and pleasant\
第三法则 坚持自己的发音
Have you been to Asia? In India, they speak in what would best be described as an Indian accent. Japanese speak with Japanese accent. The Chinese have Chinese accents.
This is the way it is and the way I hope it remains. Be yourself. Be proud of your accent『为自己的发音骄傲』. Sure, try improve your pronunciation but keep your accent. We don't all have to be Americans『我们不一定都要成为美国人』.
IsaacZ想这里Brian指的一定不是顽固不化:-)
第四法则 学习地道发音
学习地道美语发音的肺腑之言
Don't fake a foreign accent but improve your pronunciation of words.
What I'm trying to say is, if my native accent does not fit properly with the language of English, I'll definitely change my accent or imitate something near which is at least pleasant to native speakers' ears.
Reducing your natural accent is really tough. A lot of people tried but they failed.
第五法则 的士司机的启示
One of our American customers『美国客户』got into a taxi from the airport one day, and as he talked with the driver, he noticed that the driver had very good spoken English, better, in fact, than most of Chinese he ever met! \never went to secondary school『我中学都没有上过』. I drive a taxi every day, but while I'm driving around, I listen to the English radio stations『英语电台』. And if any English-speaking passenger gets in, I try to start a conversation with them. That's how I learn my English!\
There are many things which contribute to『贡献』good spoken English, but an important question for you is this: to what extent are your attitudes similar to those of the taxi driver?『你的态度在多大程度上与这为出租车司机相同?』Are you willing to try to start a conversation with an English speaker? Or do you feel as if whenever you try to speak in English, your tongue『舌头』
won't behave itself『不听使唤』and you can hardly make a sound? 第六法则 学习美国人发音
What to do with your mouth to sound American?
One of the main differences between the way an American talks and the way the rest of the world talks is that they don't really move their lips『嘴唇』. They create most of their sounds in the throat『喉部』, using their tongue『舌头』very actively. If you hold your fingers over your lips or clench your jaws『握住喉部』when you practice American English, you will find yourself much closer to native-sounding speech than if you try to pronounce every single sound very carefully.
第七法则 美国发音的夸张 Exaggerate the American sound!
Most Americans came from somewhere else, American English reflects the accent contributions of many lands『美语包括了各个地区不同的发音』. The speech has become much more exaggerated『夸张的』than British English, developing a strong and distinctive intonation『语调、声调』. If you use this intonation, not only will you be easier to understand, but you will sound much more confident, dynamic『富有活力的』, and persuasive『善于说服的』.
The sound of an American speaking a foreign language is very distinctive『与众不同的、有特色的』. For example, in Japanese or Spanish『西班牙语』, the word no is, to our ear, abbreviated『no这个单词听起来很简化(就是/nou/)』. But in American English, it’s different:
No /nou/ /no ou/
Normal English standard American.
第八法则 不要逐字说英语 Do not speak word by word
If you speak word by word, as many people who learned English do, you’ll end up sounding mechanical and foreign『你的发音听起来会机械、奇怪』. You may have noticed the same thing happens in your own language; when someone reads a speech, even a native speaker, it sounds stiff『生硬的』and stilted『虚饰的』, quite different from a normal conversational tone『正常说话时的语调』.
第九法则 以句子为单位说
Connect words to form sound groups
This is where you're going to start something completely different than what you have done in your previous English studies. This part is the most difficult for many people because it goes against『与??不同』everything they've taught. Instead of thinking of each word as a unit『单
位』, think of sound units. These sound units may or may not correspond to『与??对应』a word written on a page. Native speakers don't say“Bob is on the phone”, but say“baibizan the foun.”Sound units make a sentence flow smoothly『以声调为单位使句子(听起来)更平滑』. 第十法则 提高发音的方法
Three ways to improve your pronunciation
About this time, you're coming to the point where you may be wondering, what exactly are the mechanics of intonation『发音的技巧(秘诀)在哪里』? What changes when you put stress on a word? There are three ways to stress『强调』a word.
1.The first way is to just get louder『大声』or raise the volume『提高音量』. This is not a very sophisticated『复杂的』way of doing it, but it will definitely command attention『但它确实可以吸引注意力』.
2.The second way is to stretch『延伸』the word out or lengthen『延长』the word that you want to draw attention to『引起注意』.
3.The third way, which is the most refined『精确的』, is to change pitch『改变音调』, although pausing just before changing the pitch is effective『在改变音调之前停顿也是一种有效的方法』, you don't want to do it every time, because then it becomes an obvious technique. However, it will make your audience stop and listen because they think you're going to say something interesting.
第十四法则 到哪里学习标准地道的发音?
Taking accent lessons with a native English speaking is not a bad idea. I had an accent class in College a couple of years ago and I learnt quite a lot. We were only five or six in the class『班上只有五、六个人』and the teacher (American) made us repeat some words five, ten or twenty times until we pronounced better.
I recommend you to listen to CNN, MSNBC, and other American radios on the net daily. You should show great perseverance『坚持』and steadfastness『坚定』. After a while, your perseverance will be finally rewarded『回报』and you will see the difference.
By the way, the BBC『英国广播公司』is very good too. On the BBC world, not only have you British accents but also American one's.
第十五法则 究竟什么是“母语”?
Native language usually means the first language you learn after you are born. This language is usually learned from parents. It's kind of a confusing『迷惑的』term『词语』because people can have two or even more \languages\depending on where they are born. For instance, someone of Latin American『拉丁美洲』descent『血统、后代』in the United States could easily learn Spanish『西班牙语』and English at the same time growing up from parents, relatives『亲戚』and their general environment, making both languages \has traditionally been called \『双语的』.\『应用在』anyone who
knows more than one language extremely well.
Native speakers of English are people whose first language is English. They learned English when they were children. They think in English. They use it naturally. Usually native speakers of English are people from English-speaking countries like the USA, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, Ireland『爱尔兰』, etc.
Talking to native speakers is a great way of improving your spoken English.
Native speakers often don't realize that things they consider \for English learners『英语为母语的人通常不会意识到对他们看来非常“简单”的事情,对英语学习者来说却有可能非常困难。』

第二章 三最法突破发音
秘诀2
经典“三最口腔肌肉训练法”
——最大声;最清晰;最快速
“三最”法就是最大声;最清晰;最快速地反复操练句子或短文以达成地道美语“脱口而出”。这是李阳疯狂英语最神奇(magical)的方法,效果卓著。
这种练习只要稍微坚持,便可出现明显效果。经过这种培训的学生根本不知道害怕讲英语,就算是在初次和外国人交流是比较紧张,但由于平常接受的是“超级激烈的”极端训练,一紧张,害怕便产生了神奇的效果:
“最大声”变成了正常的音量(normal volume);
“最快速”变成了优雅的语速(elegant speed);
“最清晰”变成了“模模糊糊”(ambiguous;vague)的地道英语(genuine English)最高境界
三最短文精彩操练:
Everybody?s business is nobody?s business
There are four people named everybody, somebody, anybody and nobody. There was an important job to be done and everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure that somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but nobody did it. Some body got angry about that because it was everybody?s job. Everybody thought anybody could do it, but nobody realized that everybody wouldn?t do it. It ended up that everybody blamed somebody when nobody did what anybody could have done.
有四个人分别叫做:“每个人”、“某个人”、“任何人”和“没有人”。有一次,他们每个人都要被要求去完成一件重要的工作。大家都相信某个人会去做这件事。其实,任何人都可以完成这项工作的,但就是没有人去做。某个人对此感到非常气愤,因为这是大家的任务。每个人都认为任何人可以完成这件事,但没有人认识到大家都不会去做这件事。结果呢,当没有人去做其实任何人都可以做到的事情的时候,每个人都在抱怨某个人。
秘诀3
新“三最口腔肌肉训练法”
——最夸张、最慢速、最频繁
经典范例:
Springtime
Days get longer and warmer in the spring.
There are new leaves on the trees.
Flowers begin to grow.
Rain makes the grass green and helps the plants grow.
Spring is the time of new life. Nature puts on new clothes in many colors —red, yellow, blue, white, and purple.
Birds build nests in the spring.
Many baby animals appear.
People like to make gardens and farmers plant crops in the fields.
Spring is the season for young love. “In the spring a young man?s thoughts turn to love.” according to an old saying.
第三章 一口气突破发音
秘诀4
一口气训练法
当美国人讲话的时候底气很足,令人羡慕!为什么呢?因为他们讲话时用的是腹腔、胸腔、喉腔、口腔、鼻腔“合五为一”所以底气十足。我们中国人讲话使用的是嘴巴,没有底气,说话时发音不饱满,力量不足。所以我们中国人要想说一口地到流利的英文,必须在“五大发音秘诀”和“三最口腔肌肉训练法”之后,再用“一口气训练法”疯狂操练。
做法很简单:你只要深呼吸,然后再一口气里尽量多读。经过一段时间的训练以后,原来需要换几次气才能读完的一句话或小短文,一口气里就能轻松读完!
经典范例:
A: Hi Stone! How have you been?
B: Great! What about you?
A: Sorry, I?m so late getting back to the office. How?s everything.
B: Oh, I?ve been super.
A: Hey, could I borrow your car for the weekend?
B: Go to hell! The last time you borrowed my car you wrecked it.
秘诀5
调动腹部的力量
中国人习惯用嘴巴说话,显得比较“单薄”,有气无力;美国人习惯用腹部的力量说话,浑厚有力。这就是中国人说英语和英美人说英语的最大区别。
疯狂做法:平时练习英语时,尽量运动腹部的肌肉,刚开始有点别扭,坚持一下,便会产生效果。
中国人开口说英语就能听出是中国口音。请听下面的录音。
How are you doing?
A: How are you doing, Lee?
B: I beg your pardon?
A: How ?s everything? How are you getting along?
B: I?m getting along fine, thank you.
A: Have you changed any of your ideas about this country? Do you still think English is the worst language in the world?
B: I?m beginning to see that human nature is pretty much the same everywhere.
A: And what about the language?
B: That idea hasn?t changed.
第四章 元、辅音发音操练
秘诀6
悦耳动听在元音
英语是否好听,主要取决于援引是否饱满、到位!请听下面的录音。
I’m not myself today. 我今天没心情。
I don’t care what you do. 你做什么,我都不管。
We hope to see you again. 我希望再次见到你。
The days are getting longer. 白天越来越长。
I don’t know how to thank you enough. 我不知道该如何感谢你。
When are you going to quit smoking? 你打算什么时候发誓戒烟?
秘诀7
口齿清晰在辅音
如果辅音发不好,元音再标准也是口齿不清!英语的辅音和中文有很大的区别,而且复杂的多!是学习发音的特大难点。
辅音主要是舌、齿、唇的相互配合。请欣赏下面的辅音。
I think you ought to do it by yourself. 我想你应该自己去做。
I don’t know what you are talking about. 我听不懂你在说什么。
I feel very tired today. 我今天觉得很累。
I hope you will forgive me. 我希望你会原谅我。
I love having you in my life. 我渴望我的生命中有你。
I’m very sorry to hear that. 听到这个消息我很难过。
秘诀8
口腔发音和喉咙发音的区别
长元音一般是通过“口腔”发出的,发声处“*前”;而短元音则是用喉咙发出的,发音处尽量*后。这可是一个真正的秘密。
A: What is she doing these days?
B: She is learning business English now.
A: I have a job interview tomorrow.
B: Good luck.
A: Do you speak any English.
B: I speak a little English.
A: I feel much better than I did last week.
B: I?m really glad to hear that.
A: would you like coffee or milk or tea?
B: Tea, please.
第五章 五大发音秘诀
第一节 底气十足、元音饱满
秘诀9
长元音拉长
鬼鬼祟祟的英文就是由鬼鬼祟祟的元音造成的!你只要把元音发饱满、到位,你的应为立刻就会说的“悦耳动听”、“底气十足”!那些英美流行歌手就是底气十足、元音饱满的典范。
长元音尽量拉长
国际音标[i:] = 美国音标[i]
Nickname 外号: 穿针引线长“衣”音!
Matching Sound 中文近似音: 衣服的“衣”。
Gesture 动作: 在空中做一个“穿针引线”的动作。
Special Trick 特别技巧: 做疯狂勉强微笑状。
Extra Note 额外阐述: 一个最重要的长音。一定要足够长,足够到位。
It’s my treat this time. 今天我请客。
A: please have a seat. 请坐。
B: Thank you. 谢谢。
<疯狂评论> 中国人学了这么多年英语,其实连“请坐”都不会说。在美国没有人会说“Sit down, please!”这句话听起来命令口气太浓!
This sentence sounds like a military order. It?s too bossy and commanding. It also sounds like you have no control over the crowd in a public speaking situation. The suggestion “please have a seat.” Sounds much better.
A: We believe-in you.
B: I appreciate your support.
A: Sweet dreams.
B: You too.
<疯狂评论> 这是疯狂英语学习者独特的再见方式。一般人只会说“Bye-bye”。
A: Why is he so happy today?
B: He dreamed a sweet dream last night.
秘诀10
国际音标[u:]=美语音标[u]
Nickname 外号:小圆唇长“乌”音。类似火车长鸣音“呜”。
A: I want to improve my poor English.
B: Then you should study Crazy English.
I?d like to improve my English pronunciation.
What a fool I was to do such a thing
秘诀11
双元音饱满到位
双元音饱满、到位;尽量用你的口形来夸张发音,尽量发泄,尽量慢;争取以最慢的速度在一口气内用拉长、饱满、到位的放纵口形把句子读完;一定要把句子中的双元音读准。最后再用正常的语速,标准、地道的一口气轻松读完。
双元音发饱满到位 IPA:[B:] [e:] [EJ]
K.K:[B:] [e] [o]
A: Is he coming back soon?
B: I have no idea.
A: I don?t like working overtime.
B: Neither do I.
A: I hate being late for work!
B: Me too.
秘诀12
短元音急促有力
——调动腹部的力量,一收小腹,立刻纯正
Let?s get together again.
英音: [lets ^e(t) tE`^eTE E`^en]—略音[t]
美音: [lZts ^Z(t) tE`^ZTL E`^Zn]—略音[t]
Don?t bother me. I?m busy. He is difficult to get along with. The food here really tastes delicious.
第二节 连读技巧
秘诀13
(1)字尾辅音+字首元音 “异性相吸”
这是地道、纯正美语的秘诀!要刻苦操练!
在意思密切相关的一组词中,如果前一个词以辅音结尾,后一个词以元音开头,这两个词有时可以连起来读,这种现象叫连读。用符号“?”表示。
I’ll be back-in half-an-hour. 我半小时就回来。
英音:[B:l bi: bAk?:n hB:f?En?BuE]—口语中读音[B:l bi: `bAk:n `hB:fEnBuE]
美音:[B:l bi: bAk?:n hAf?En?BCE]—口语中读音[B:l bi `bAg:n `hAfEnBuE]
Take-a look-at-it. 看一看吧。
英音:[teIk?E luk?At?It]—口语中发音[`teIkE `lukAtIt]
美音:[tek?E luk?At?:t] —口语中发音[`tegE `lugAd:t]
A: I have a cold.
B: Take care of yourself.
秘诀14
(2)字尾元音+字首元音
首先我要告诉大家,中国没几个人懂这个发音秘诀!
在两个元音之间按“字尾元音”的开口读大小适当添加上微弱的半元音[w]或[j]。如果前一个词结尾的音是:[i:][:][ei][B:][R:]在与后面的元音连续读时可加[j]音;倘若前一个音是:[C][u:][Eu][BC]在与后面的元音连读时可加[w]音。
See off
IPA: [si: ? C:f] 口语读音[`si:?j?C:f]
K.K: [si ? Cf] 口语读音[`si?j?Cf]
Thank you for coming to see me-off.
I went to the station to see her-off.
Go on
IPA: [gEU?Bn] 口语读音[`gEU?w?Bn]
K.K: [go?Bn] 口语读音[`go?w?Bn]
Go-on with your work.
What pleasant weather, why not go-out for a walk?
秘诀15
(3)字尾r音+字首元音
单词末尾有字母“r”或“re”的词,在短语或句子中和以字首元音开始的词相邻时,在英语中“r”也要读出音来,语美语一样和后面的元音连读。
Far away
IPA: [fB:r?E`wei] 口语读音[fB:rE`wei]
K.K: [fBr?E`we] 口语读音[`fBrE`we]
My friend comes from a country far-away.
For ever
IPA: [fC:r?`evE] 口语读音[fC:r`evE]
K.K: [fCr?`ZvL] 口语读音[fCr`ZvL]
I will keep my promise for-ever.
There are
IPA: [TeEr?B:] 口语读音[ `TeErB:]
K.K: [TZr?Br] 口语读音[ `TZrBr]
There are a lot of problems in the world.
There are over 600,000 kinds of insects in the world.
There is no school today.
第三节 省力技巧
略音也称为省音,省音也就是省力(也叫不完全爆破);也是一种常见的音变现象。在自然流利的谈话中,为了说话省力,经常把一些音省掉。省音既可出现在单词内,也可出现在词与词之间。
某单词字尾是辅音,而相邻的后面单词开头也是辅音,并且词与头词尾的两个辅音相同时,在读的时候两个相同的辅音只读一个即可;也就是说省前读后。
秘诀16
摆摆姿势和货真价实
——前虚后实
I had a good-time last-night.
Take-care.
{每次告别时都请喊这个句子,比“Bye-bye”要强很多倍!}
Keep-quiet
You have a good-memory.
Ask-Bob-to sit-behind-me.(省略了4个音)
I didn?t-do it. My friend-did-it.
Keep-practicing.
<特别说明>美国人说英语另外的特点是:好听、偷懒、省力、经济原则。连音、略音就是这些特点的体现。
秘诀17
略音(1)辅音+辅音
——同性相斥
I don?t-know what-to do.
IPA: [BI dEUnt nEu wBt tE dU:] 口语读音[Bi dEUn(t) nEu wB(t) tE dU:]
K.K: [BI dont no hwBt tE dU] 口语读音[Bi don(t) no hwB(t) tE dU]
I need-some-more money.
IPA: [Bi ni:d sQm mC: `mQnI] 口语读音[Bi nid) sQ(m) mC: ` mQnI]
K.K: [Bi nid sQm mCr `mQnI] 口语读音[Bi ni (d) sQ(m) mCr `mQnI]
I?d-like-to try on that-shirt.
What-time is our flight-tomorrow.
秘诀18
略音(2)同类爆破+同类爆破
相同的两个爆破音相邻时,第一个爆破音省略,只读后面的一个爆破音。
Part time
IPA: [pBt) tBim] 省前读后
K.K: [pBr(t) tBim] (t)省略
She?s looking for a part-time job.
Take care
IPA: [teI(k) keE] 省前读后
K.K: [teI(k) kZr] (k)省略
Please take care of yourself.
Take care not to break any glasses.
I?ll take-care-of the problem.
<略音和连音同时出现>
秘诀19
略音(3)异类爆破+异类爆破
类似的辅音如:[t] –[d];[d]--[t];[k]-- [g];[p]--[b]出现时,同样省前读后。
What do you think?
Sorry, I wasn?t listening.
The boss has always been very good to her.
We had a good time together.
You?d better get up a little earlier.
秘诀20
略音(4)
在以[t][d][k][g][p]和[b]+以辅音开始的单词时,前面的辅音发音顿息,舌头达到发音部位“点到为止”,但不送气!
在正常速度或快速的对话中,字尾有[t][d]时通常不会把[t][d]的发音清楚地念出来,而是快要念出来时,马上憋气顿息,因此字尾[d][t]的发音常常是听不到的。
