美语发音技巧23课

美语发音技巧33课L1: cant 和 cannot 的比较和使用区别Welcome to Daily tips on Learning English. Today's tip is on distinguishing(区别) “can” and “cannot” in spoken American English.“Cannot” is usually contracted (收缩)to “can't”. So many learners of English assume(认为) that in order to distinguish between “can” and “can't”, one must listen for the final “t” sound /t/. And when speaking, one must pronounce final ‘t’ sound /t/ clearly. Ho wever, this is not in fact how native speakers distinguish “can” and “can't”. People do not say ‘I `can drive a car, but I can’t drive a motorcycle(机动车).’ People say ‘I can `drive a car', but I `can't drive a motorcycle.’ The difference between “can” and “can't” is in stress. “Can” is not stressed, the verb after it is. “Can't” is stressed. The verb after it is not.Also since ‘can’ is not stressed, the vowel is reduced to /a/, so “can” is actually pronounced “can”. Listen to another example. “I `can't go on Saturday, but I can `go on Sunday.” Did you hear the 't' sound? Did you notice the difference words being stressed? Listening again. “I `can't go on Saturday, but I can `go on Sunday.” If you want to understand whether someone is saying he can or can't do something, you have to be listening for a stressed “can't” or a verb stressed after “can”. What does this mean? “I can `speak Japanese, but I `can't speak Taiwanese.” That's right, I can speak Japanese, but I cannot speak Taiwanese. When you are speaking it is very important that you follow this rule too. When learners of English say I `can help you, native speakers often unsure what is meant because of improper stress. So remember, you can stress “can't”, but you `can't stress “can”.This has been today's tip on learning English. Tune in tomorrow for another tip.总结:重读动词就是肯定,重读can/can’t,就是否定.因为读音一样无法区分!L2:重读音节在前的大多为名词或形容词,在后的为动词.Welcome to Daily Tips on Learning English. Today’s tip is on how syllable stress can affect the meaning of words.Remenber that stressed syllables are said louder and are lengthened, and unstressed syllables are pronounced more softly, and often have the vowel sounds reduced.Sometimes, this difference can be the difference between a verb and a noun, or an adjective. There are at least 14 pairs of words in which syllable stress alone makes this difference. Some examples include `addict, a`ddict, `convict, con`vict, `perfect, per`fect. Each time the second syllable is stressed, the word is a verb. When the first syllable is stressed, the word is either a noun or an adjective. Let’s look some examples more closely. `Permit, per`mit, a `permit is a noun, it is a piece of paper which authorizes you to do something. For instance, a fishing `permit allows you to go fishing. Per`mit is a verb. It means to allow. For instence, fishing isn’t per`mitted here without a `permit.Another example is `perfect, per`fect. `Perfect is an adjective. It means 100% correct, no mistakes or errors. The verb is per`fect, it means to make som ething perfect. For example, “I want toper`fect my English” means “I want to make my English perfect”. Make sure you stress the right syllable. It can be the differece between different parts of speech. This has been today’s daily tip. Till then, tomorrow, for another tip on learning English.L3: 清浊辅音结尾对元音的影响(浊辅音前元音长,轻辅音前元音短)Welcome to Daily Tips on Learning English. Today’s tip is on how different vowel lengths are used to differentiate words ending in voiced and voiceless consonants(子音).Let’s take an example. There’s something in my eyes. There’s something in my ice. The last words in the examples, eyes and ice differ in 2 ways. One difference is the word eyes end with the sound “z”, and ice end with the sound “s”. The other difference in the pronunciation of “eyes” and “ice” is how the vowel sound “ai” is pronounced. In the word “eyes”, it is longer. In the word “ice”, it is very short.Listen to the examples again, and note that the final consonant sound is not as clear as the difference in the lengt h of the vowel. There’s something in my eyes. There’s something in my ice. Listen again. There’s something in my eyes. There’s something in my ice. Listen to some other examples of words that are identical except for the final consonants and the vowel length. Cap, cab, plate, played, seat, seed. Today’s tip is to pay more attention to the length of vowels, as this difference is very important in distinguishing some words. Till then, tomorrow, to another tip on learning English.总结: 浊辅音前的元音长,轻辅音前的元音短: eyes [aiz] 和ice [aisL4: 辅音结尾与后面元音的连读,Welcome to daily tips on learning English. Today’s tip is on sound linking.Although in written English, there’re spaces between every word, in spoken English there’re always never (1)pauses between words. In order to understand spoken English, it is (2)essential to understand how this linking is done. Today let’s (3)concentrate on the most common sound linking situation. Whenever a word ending in a consonant sound is followed by a word beginning with a vowel sound, the consonant sound is linked to the vowel sound as if they were part of the same word.Let’s look at some examples. I’d like another bowl of rice, please. First, note that although there’re six words in the sentence, all the words are linked together wit hout pause. Listen again. I’d like another bowl of rice, please. Now listen to how the words “like” and “another” are linked. “Like another”, “like-another”. “Like” ends in a consonant sound, and “another” begins with a vowel sound. So the “k” from “like” is linked to the “a” from “another” to produce “kanother”. Listen to the example sentence again. I’d like another bowl of rice, please. In the sentence there is another example of a consonant being linked to a vowel. A bowl of, a bowl-of. It sounds liketh at you’re saying the word “love”. Here’s another example. I’d love a bowl of rice. I’d love a bowl of rice. This sound linking is probably the biggest problem for learners of English when they try to understand native speaker’s talking. We’ll talk more abo ut sound linking in future daily tips, as this is an extremely import feature of spoken English. Today’s tip is to link consonants to vowels which come after them. Till then, tomorrow, for another daily tip.总结:辅音结尾与后面元音的连读,这是外国听者最感困惑的问题.L5 :h的发音问题Welcom e to Daily Tips on Learning English. Today’s tip is on sound linking.Remember that although written English has spaces between every word, spoken English doesn’t have pauses after every word. As a matter of fact, long strings of words are all linked together. And it is this linking, which often makes it difficult for learners of English to understand native speaker’s talking. Today’s tip is to notice how the “h” sound is often dropped(放弃) in personal pronouns (人称代词)such as “he”, “him”, “his” and “her”. An d when it is dropped, what is left is a vowel sound, and the vowel sound is always linked to the preceding (前面的)word.Let’s look at an example. Give her a book. Giv-er a book. Notice how the “h” is dropped and how “give her” become “giv-er”. Look at anoth er example. Tell him to ask her. Tell-im to ask-er. Didyou notice that “tell him” became “tell-im” and “ask her” became “ask-er”? This happens very frequently in spoken English, especially when “he” follows an auxiliary verb(助动词). For example, “what will he do?” becomes “What will-i do?” “Where will he go?” becomes “Where will-i go?” “When will he come?” becomes “When will-i come?” “Who will he meet?” becomes “Who will-i meet?” “How will he know?” becomes “How will-i know?” “Has he gone?” becomes “Has-i go ne?” “Had he done it before?” becomes “Had-i done it before?” “Must he go?” becomes “Must-i go?” “Can he do it?” becomes “Can-i do it?” “Should he leave?” becomes “Should-I leave?” it’s important to accustom yourself to the dropped “h” sound in sound linking. This has been today’s daily tip. Tune in tomorrow for another tip on learning English.总结: 助动词后面的人称代词如“he”, “him”, “his” and “her”.不发音,要习惯!L6: 辅音连续(相同和相似辅音的连接)Welcome to Daily Tips on Learning English. Today’s tip is on sound linking.When 2 identical(相同的) or s imilar consonants (辅音)are in a row, most sounds are not pronounced. For example, stop Peter. “stop” ends in the sound “p”, and “Peter” begins in the same sound. Together the words are linked as “sto-peter”. The words aren’t pronounced stop Peter. To pronounce two identical sounds one after another, would sound like someone stuttering. English words are always linked smoothly. Similar but not identical sounds such as voiced and voiceless pairs of consonants are also linked in this way. For examp le, it’s a big cake. “big” begins in the sound “g”, cake begins with the sound “k”. “k” and “g” differ only in that “k” is voiceless and “g” is voiced. When they are next to each other in a phrase they’re linked smoothly by not aspirating or pronouncing fully the first of the 2 sounds. Listen carefully as I read the example again. It’s a big cake. Notice how the first sound “g” is not released. If the pair of sounds is reversed, like in “I like goats.” it is the “k” sound which is not pronounced. Listen clo sely. I like goats. I like goats.There’re 8 pairs of consonants that differ only in the presence or lack of vocal cord(声音堆积) vibration. Listen as I give one example of sound linking for each pair.v, f : I love France.δ,θ: Let’s bathe three times.z, s : She is Susan.з,∫: The garage should be cleaned.dз,t∫: He has a huge chin.b, p : Put the cap back on. (cap中p不发音)d, t : Dad told me.k, g : I like Gavin. (? )It is important to include this type of sound linking in your speech if you want to achieve fluency(流畅). It is also important to be aware(意识) of how this linking affects how spoken English sounds. Otherwise(否则) you may not understand native speaker’s speech. This has been today’s daily tip. Tune(调音) in tomorrow for another on learning English.总结:浊辅音在前,正常读出,清辅音在前, 则清辅音不读,同一辅音只读一个.L7: “a ”和“the”的发音Welcome to Daily Tips on Learning English. Today’s tip is on using or omitting(省掉) the English article “a” correctly.There’s no single rule that explains how to choose whether you should use “a”, use “the” or not use any article at all. Sometimes there’s only one correct choice, and in other cases, different choices change the meaning of the sentence. Today let’s discuss the most frequently occurring differences between using the article “a” a nd using no article. All English nouns can be divided into 2 classes: those that are countable and those that are uncountable.It is the meaning of a noun as it is used in a sentence which determines whether it is countable or uncountable. For instance, i n the sentence “She has long hair.”, “hair” is uncountable. But in the sentence “There’s a hair in my soup.”,” hair” is countable. This can create some interesting mistakes. For example, “I like a dog” does not mean 我喜欢狗, that should be “I like dogs.” If y ou say “I like dog”, that means you like to eat dog meat. If you say “I ate a hamburger”, that means 我吃了一个汉堡, but if you say “I ate hamburger”, that means you ate raw ground beef. If you say “I ate a cake’, that means you ate a whole cake, which is very unlikely. You should have said, “I ate cake”, then it means you ate some cake.Notice how the use of the article “a” means that the noun it precedes is countable, and therefore you’re talking about a whole one, an entire one. If you omit the article “a”, th en it means that you can’t count the noun it precedes, and therefore you are talking about a piece or a quantity or something. So remember to pay careful attention to whether nouns are being used to a countable or uncountable meaning, and be sure to use or omit the article “a” accordingly. This has been today’s daily tip. Tune in tomorrow for another tip on learning English.总结:可数名词前加定冠词a和不加定冠词a意思不一样!不加的时候大多产生有趣的意思! L8: 如何正确使用the articles “a”, “an” and “the”Welcome to Daily Tips on Learning English. Today’s tip is on using the articles “a”, “an” and “the” correctly.Every student of English has my sympathy(同感) in his struggles with the English articles. They are one of the most difficult parts of learning English. First of all, I urge you to do this. Listen to native speakers. When you listen, listen carefully, since the articles “the” and “a” are almost never emphasized(强调), they do not stand out prominently(显著) in speech, but they’re pronounced. You will have to train your ears so that you will recognize that the little sounds before certain words are articles, and not meaningless noises. Also, get in the habit of pronouncing the articles in the way native speakers do. As little sounds that are part of the word they precede. For instance, think of and say “the boy”as one word. Listen to this short sentence. The boy likes the girl. Say it naturally, the boy likes the girl. Did you notice how the articles are just small sounds linked to the nouns? Listen to another example. There is a pen on a desk in the classroom. Say it naturally, there is a pen on a desk in the classroom. Did you notice how all the sounds, especially articles are linked together? The article “an” is used before nouns beginning with a vowel s ound, such as “an apple”. Notice how the “n” sound is linked to the word which follows it. Also notice that words that spelled with the letter “h” in the beginning such as “hour” also use the article “an” because the “h” isn’t pronounced. So we say, “an-ou r”, not “a hour”. And some words spelled with the letter “u” in the beginning such as “unicycle” use the article “a” because the first sound is the “y” sound “j”. So we say, a unicycle, not an unicycle.It’s also important to note that the pronunciation o f the article “the” changes to “δi :” before words beginning with a vowel sound. So we say “δi :” elevator, not “δэ”elevator.Another tip is, do not be misled by newspaper headlines, advertisements and titles of book and so forth. They frequently omit articles which are necessary in complete sentences in both spoken and written English. Knowing when to use “a”, when to use “the”, and when not to use any article at all is undoubtably one of the most difficult aspects of learning English. We will talk about this topic more in an upcoming daily tip. Tune in tomorrow for another tip on learning English.总结:元音前面的the读音为“δi :”而不是“δэ”。

如何发纯正欧美口音训练法？

第一步：寻找英语后腔发音的规律第五节：后口腔发音方法所发出的声音有五大特点第一大特点：低沉。

指说话的声音偏低，一般来说，人说话的声音越靠近喉咙里面，喉咙越打开，声音就越低越粗。

人说话的声音越高越尖，声音就越靠近口腔外边，英语用的是后部发声方法，用力和声音都靠近口腔里边，发出的声音较低，这是因为口腔后部发声时，使得整个喉咙随声带一起振动，振动体加大，发出的声音频率便较低。

用汉语说话时，口腔后部一般用力小，随声带一起振动的部分较少，振动体减小发出的声音频率便偏高，声音偏尖。

通过观察，不难发现：说英语的外国人多是又低又粗的低嗓门儿，连女性都如此，“男低音”、“女低音”很普遍；说汉语的中国人（包括大多数亚洲地区的人）一般说话的声音偏高、偏尖。

英语是用低嗓门说出来的，要学会用低沉的声音说英语，不扯着嗓子用尖尖的声音说英语，用尖尖的声音说话就会把声音移到了口腔的前部，就不是后部发声方法了。

刚开始用低沉的嗓音说英语或许会感觉非常不自然，这不要紧，练习一段时间后，你的嗓子就会发出这种声音，说英语时就会自动地切换到这种声音。

这就好比有的人会唱流行歌曲又会唱美声歌曲一样，唱不同的曲子用不同的声音。

第二大特点：响亮。

英语发音虽然偏低，但声音的响度却不减，力量敢较强，即频率虽低振幅大，声音的功率大，传的远。

特别是美语发音，声音十分洪亮，在嘈杂的环境中也可明显地听清楚。

后部发声方法在发声原理上类似于美声唱法，发音时，口腔内壁绷紧变硬，对声音的吸收少，音拢得紧，收得住，发音时用得上劲，因此声音响亮。

但要注意：英音比美音的响亮程度要弱得多。

第三大特点：硬度。

指发出的声音坚强有力，有硬度，有穿透力，是一种推不倒压不垮的声音。

发音起来很硬朗，这就是后口腔发音用力较大的结果。

第四大特点：内含。

指发音时声音有力地含在口腔后部，不外跑分散，好像发出的声音不是往口腔的外面走，而是要往里面走，从喉腔返回到体内。

第五大特点：粘度。

指发音时声音粘长，音和音之间粘连成一体，过渡有节奏，没有很重的爆破音。

American Accent Training 1 美式发音训练

AMERICAN ACCENT TRAININGGeneral PronunciationShift your voice position: Pinch your nose and say ✌. You should feel a high vibration in your nasal passages, as well as in your fingers. Now, continue holding your nose, and completely relax your throat---allow an Ah sound to flow from deep in your chest. There should be no vibration in your nose at all. Go back and forth several times. Next we practice flowing from one position to the other, so you can feel exactly when it changes from a nasal sound to a deep ☯sound.Nose Throat Chest✌→✌→ → →☯→☯1.Mmmmm soundLet’s start with the mmmmm sound. It’s super easy to do. All you do is to put your lips together and hum. You’ll notice a couple of thing s here. Put your hand on your throat and say mmmm, and observe that you can feel a vibration in your fingertips.This means that the M sound is spoken and not whispered.2.Ah: in a deep voice, say the following out aloud. We’re adding two more consonantsat the lip position. P&B.1.mah2.mah-mah3.pah4.pah-pah5.bah6.bah-bah3.Repeat these syllables. Pay attention to the boldface. To get the physical experienceof intonation, you can stretch your rubber band.1. MAH-mah2.mah-MAH3.PAH-pah4.pah-PAH5.BAH-bah6.bah-BAH4. Using the AH sound, repeat the following sounds. Don’t worry about what it means, just repeat the sounds in a deep, confident voice.1. b bl s diz j b2.sk t t d☯ l t3.d n b d☯ b ik5. Four important sounds.☯:Uh. Don’t move your lips or tongue, just let a completely neutral sound come out—uhhhh. It’s the sound Americans use when they’re thinking ---um,uh-----. Read the following sounds aloud.but chuck done fun gun hut jump come luck much none putt rub such shut tub the vug was young zug:Ah. First say Uh, then drop your jaw and say AHHH. This Ah sound is used for theletter O in one-syllable words: hot lost cop. And with the O in stressed syllables: possible hospital college. Read the following Ah sound:Bob chop Don fawn gone hot jaw call law Mom not pot raw saw shawl tall thought Von walk yawn✌: Now say Ah again, but put your lips back a bit. This gives you the ✌ sound, used for the letter a in one-syllable words: ch a nce l a ugh d a nce, and in stressed syllables: pl a stic fant a stic im a ginable. Read the following words:Bat chat Dad fat gap had Jack cat laugh mad pat ran sat zap : similar to Chinese”饿” Read the following sounds:Book foot good hood could look nook put rook should took wouldStaircase intonation:In saying your words, imagine that they come out as if they were bounding lightly down a flight of stairs. Every so often, one jumps to another level and then starts down again. Start a new staircase when you want to emphasize that information, generally a noun.eg:B biz z n the founExersise:Duh duh duh Duh duh duh Duh duh duh Duh duh duhLa la la La la la La la la La la laMee mee mee Mee mee mee Mee mee mee Mee mee meeHo ho ho Ho ho ho Ho ho ho Ho ho hoA B C impre cise con di tion al phabet123 a hot dog a hot dog hot dog standDogs eat bones they eat bones they eat them give me oneEvery time we want to stress a word or an idea, we just start a new staircase. That sounds simple enough, but when and where do you start a new staircase?Intonation or pitch change is primarily used to introduce new information. This means that when you are making a statement for the first time, you will stress the nouns1. Dogs eat bones. 8. Nelly teaches French.2. Mike likes bikes. 9. Ben writes articles.3. Elsa wants a book. 10. Jerry makes music.4. Adam plays pool. 11. Bill and I fix the bikes.5. Bobby needs some money. 12. Ann and Ed call the kids.6. Susie combs her hair. 13 The girls have a choice..7. John lives in France. 14. The boys need some money.Statement intonation with PROUNSWhen you replace the nouns with pronouns(i.e., old information), stress the verb.They eat themAs we have seen, nouns are new information; pronouns are old information.1. Bob sees Betty. 1. He sees her.2. Ann and Ed call the kids. 2. They call them.3. Jan sells some apples. 3. She sells some.4. Bill and I fix the bikes. 4. We fix them.5. Ellen should call her sister. 5. She should call someone.Four reasons for Intonation1.New informationIt sounds like rain.Rain is the new information. It’s the most important word in that sentenceConvey the information that it really does sound as if rain is falling.2.OpinionIt sounds like rain, but I don’t think it is.Convey the opinion that although it has the sound of rain, it may be something else.In this case, intonation makes the meaning the opposite of what the words say.3. ContrastHe likes rain, but he hates snow.Convey the different feelings that someone has about rain and snow.Like and hate are contrasted and are the stronger words in the sentence.4. Can’tIt can’t rain when there are no clouds.Convey the fact that rain is an impossibility right now.Contractions(shouldn’t and wouldn’t) and negatives(no,not,never) are important words since they totally negate the meaning of a sentence, but they are not usually stressed. Can’t is an exception.Practice:1.I didn’t say he stole the money. Someone else said it.2.I didn’t say he stole the money. That’s not true at all.3.I didn’t say he stole the money. I only suggested the possibility.4.I didn’t say he stole the money. I think someone else took it.5.I didn’t say he stole the money. Maybe he just borrowed it.6.I didn’t say he stole the money, but rather some other money.7.I didn’t say he stole the money. He may have taken some jewelry.Application of stress:Hello, my name is_______. I’m taking American Accent Training. There’s a lot to learn, but I hope to make it as enjoyable as possible. I should pick up the American intonation pattern pretty easily, although the only way to get it is to practice all of the time. I use up and down, or peaks and valleys intonation more than I used to. I’ve been paying attention to pitch,too. It’s like walking down a staircase. I’ve been talking to a lot of Americans lately, and they tell me that I’m easier to understand. Anyway, I could go on and on, but the important thing is to listen well and sound good. Well, what do you think? Do I? Clench your teeth!Shoulders back, chin up!Deepen your voice, and project it out!。

纯正美语腹部发音法

腹部发音练就纯正美语什么是腹部发音呢？当你和美国人进行交流的时候，或者听他们说话的时候，是否能够明显地感觉到老美的发音是特别浑厚呢？是不是他们的讲话听起来共鸣和震动的时间很长，同时带有很浓重的鼻音，在这里告诉大家这就是美语发音的秘诀所在，也就是腹部发音法。

所谓腹部发音法，就是指美国人发音的时候所讲究的腹腔发声的习惯，这种方式和我们说汉语的时候，所遵循的喉腔发声的习惯大相径庭。

就是因为发声习惯的巨大差异，所以导致了中国的学习者在讲英语的时候都是一口中国式英语，如果在加上家乡的口音，那种语音语调简直让人太受折磨了，听的让人浑身都起鸡皮疙瘩，是不是？中国人说英语的时候，总是缺少那么一丝韵味，缺少一种原汁原味的感觉，所以，即使英语讲得很流利，但是讲出一口中国式英语，就是让人听起来很不舒服，所以，如果你再也不想讲中国式英语啦，我教你的这个方法，你必须要学会，只要掌握了这个方法，两天就可以讲出一口地道的美国英语，信不信？方法特别简单，就是我们要用腹腔发音，刚开始你肯定是做不到的，所以，必须有个方法来帮助你实现，这个方法就是训练你的腹腔的！我们只要会用腹腔发音，腹腔就可以带动你的声带振动发音，只有这样发出的声音，听起来才洪亮饱满，浑厚有力。

如果想讲出最纯正、地道、让美国人震撼的英语，一定要养成腹腔发声的习惯，做到用发音器官的后部发音。

具体的训练方法：气流是人体发声的原动力、也是发声的基础，气流的速度、流量和压力的大小也与声音的高低、强弱、长短以及共鸣等情况息息相关，如果想讲出漂亮的美式英语，一定要学会控制气流！只要你学会了腹式呼吸法，就可以轻松的掌握气流了，可以随心所欲的讲出一口地道的美式英语了！如果你经常听明星唱歌，或看演唱会的话，你就会知道，他们是不会用嗓子干唱的，都是用腹部发音的，不然几首歌就把嗓子喊破了，如果不会用腹部发音，朗读一个小时，你的嗓子就会特别疼痛，沙哑，没有激情继续朗读了，就需要休息很长时间才能恢复，如果你会腹腔发音的话，朗读一天也不会有一点疼痛和沙哑的感觉，就是这么神奇，那些明星都是花了很多钱，才学会腹腔发音的，我这篇文章，你看完就能学会，不用花一分钱，多多宣传就可以了~这个方法我是怎么掌握的呢？就是我听世界第一名成功学大师安东尼罗宾的演讲中，学到的，他说如果你想保持精力十足，体力充沛，每天一定要深呼吸，一定要用腹部换气，每时每刻都要用鼻子换气，这样就会感到腹部在动，用鼻子换气都是深呼吸，可以让气流进入到我们的每一个细胞中，可以给细胞更多的氧气，所以，精力十足，我们已经习惯了用嘴换气，一直都是胸部呼吸的，这是浅呼吸，气流和氧气还没有进入身体的深层细胞就已经被你排掉了，所以，大家每天都会感觉到很累，其实你的累，并不是工作和压力造成的，而是由你的浅呼吸造成的，因为身体内部的深层细胞长时间缺少氧气的话，就会让细胞活动无力，缺少弹性，慢慢的这些细胞就怠慢了，所以，你会感觉到很疲惫，浑身无力，慢慢的就会减少寿命，因为细胞在几十年氧气不足的情况下就会坏死，然后就转变成了癌症，如果你会用鼻子换气，腹部呼吸的话，即使干一天的苦力活，也不会感觉到累，深呼吸和浅呼吸的区别就是这么大，也是就是说，用鼻子呼吸和用嘴呼吸的区别就是这么大。

American Accent Training(美式口音训练)

改变你过去的说话习惯与从手动档改为自动档十分相似。是的，有一段时间你仍然在找变速杆，脚也在寻找离合器踏板。但是不久你就会停止这么做。同样，在一段时间内你仍然将call(kahl)说成“telephone call”(kohl) ，但是这个阶段将很快过去。
你也会不得不比现在更多地想到你说话的内容。类似的，当你第一次学习开车时，你很清醒和敏感，但你最终会放松下来，并能同时应付不同的情况。
下面你将会听到两遍同样的句子。
Hello, my name is Muoi. I’m taking American Accent Training.
你也许要把这盘CD多听几遍才能达到透彻的理解。为了帮助你理解，CD上的每个单词在本书中都有体现。通过听和看的同步进行，你的书面英语（拼写）和美语发音（发音以及口音的其他方面）将会达到和谐一致的程度。 CD录音中供你进行重复的停顿时间非常短。这样做的目的是让你能快速作答，并且不花费太多的时间来思考你的回答。
Less Than It Appears … More than It Appears 少发和多发的音节
正如你将看到的19页上的练习 1-21——被挤出来的音节部分, 有些词看起来有三个或三个以上的音节，但并不是每一个音节都发音。例如，business 并不是读作(bi/zi/ness)，而是读作(biz/ness)。
母语者也许经常会告诉那些正在学习英语的人要“说慢点”、“说清楚点”。毫无疑问这是出于好心，但这样的要求确实和学生们真正需要做的相反。如果你说得相当地快，而且带有强烈的语调，别人将更容易听懂你的话。为了说明这一点，你将会听一个越南学生先试着用慢速很仔细地说话，然后快速地、带着强烈的语调重复同样的单词。她只花费了大约2分钟来练习，但后一种说话方式使她的声音听起来好像她已经在美国待过很多年了。

纯正美语发音的18个秘诀

纯正美语发音的18个秘诀2009-07-01 21:31:12| 分类：默认分类 | 标签： |举报 |字号大中小订阅纯正发音的18个秘诀(前七个)一、讲英文、听英文以“元音”为核心，“辅音”一带而过。

元音的特点：气流畅通无阻，自然轻松，响亮又清晰。

辅音的特点：气流受到阻碍，需用力冲破阻碍；不如元音清晰响亮。

二、疯狂收小腹英语是用“五腔并用法”来发音的，也就是要“口腔、鼻腔、喉腔、胸腔、腹腔并用”。

五腔并用的力量之源是“腹腔”！只要一收小腹，英语就马上好听、马上地道！特别是短元音，只有收小腹才能保证短元音的“短促有力”！三、优美的双元音双元音有以下共同特点：1、由A到B自然过渡；2、滑动动作大，而且连续；3、前清楚，后模糊；4、前重后轻；5、前长后短。

四、苦练爆破音汉语拼音和英语的最大区别是“汉语用力，英语用气”！我们在发爆破音的时候，一定要有足够的气！/p/，/b/气流由双唇冲出；/t/，/d/气流由舌尖和上齿龈之间冲出；/k/，/g/气流由舌后部和软颚之间冲出。

五、鼻音大操练鼻音的最大特点是：口腔通道全部阻塞，只允许气流从鼻腔中流出。

六、前轻后重法则两个或者两个以上的辅音连在一起，这种现象叫做“辅音连缀”。

读辅音连缀时，第一个音（或是第一、第二个音）要读得轻而短，很快过渡到第二个音（或第三个音）上去。

辅音连缀中的任何两个辅音间都不能加上元音。

汉语中没有辅音连缀，因此这是我们中国人发音的最大难处之一，务必要反复操练！七、前重后轻法则读单词的时候，中国学生最容易犯的一个错误就是整个单词平均用力，尤其是单词最后的辅音用力过度。

要想说一口纯正的英语，你必须学会“前重后轻”这个技巧。

注意：用所有的力量把“元音”发完以后，剩下的气流轻轻带过后面的“辅音”。

Lesson 23 Text A Would You Like a Shave or a Haircut？ A poor farmer who had always lived in the country and had never visited a big town won a lot of money, so he decided that he could now afford a holiday in an excellent hotel by the sea. When lunch-time came on his first day there, he decided to go and eat in the restaurant of the hotel. The head waiter showed him to his table, took his order and went away. When he looked at the farmer again, he had a surprise！ The farmer had tied his table napkin round his neck. The head waiter was very annoyed at this and immediately told one of the other waiters in the restaurant to go to the man and inform him, without being in any way insulting, that people did not do such a thing in restaurants of that quality. The waiter went to the farmer and said in a friendly voice, “Good morning, sir. Would you like a shave, or a haircut？” Text B What Do the Romans Do？ MR TURNBULL： When in Rome, do as the Romans do, they say.

Lesson 23 All For a Son Text A The desire for a son and heir is common to all mankind. In our country, especially, to have as many male descendents as possible has always been regarded as the greatest blessing in life. The failure to produce a male heir was considered the most unfilial of all unfilial crimes. A man was justified to cast away his wife and take another if she failed to bear him a son. For the rich, the problem could be solved by taking a concubine or several concubines. All traditional ideas die hard. The desire for ason is as strong as ever, and the problem has been aggravated by our onechild family planning policy. Hence the numerous tragedies and comedies we hear and read so often. There are fathers who drop down in a faint when they hear their wives have given birth to daughters. There are “guerrilla” couples who roam from place to place dodging family planning officials to give one birth after another until they finally have a son. But more often we hear of tragedies of wives being ill treated by their husbands and by their parents-in-law because they failed to give birth to sons. Recently I saw a photograph in Yangcheng Evening showing a woman with a baby in her arms appealing to passers-by in the street. The caption says she is telling people of her plight of being thrown out into the street with her baby girl by her husband'sfamily, all because she has given birth to a daughter instead of a son. I remember some time ago reading about a man pushing his three-year-old daughter down a well. Fortunately the girl was saved by someone who happaned to pass by. The man only got a year and a half imprisonment for attempted murder. To my mind , he was just as guilty as if the girl had really drowned. By comparison, the story of Zhou Chenghu, an ordinary farmer of Changning County in Sichuan Province arouses more ridicule than indignation. Zhou's parents had died when he was still young, and he was the only son to carry on the family line. He had married early when he was only twenty. The first child was a girl, so he tried again, and the second child born the following year was also a girl. Zhou was vexed but still not unduly worried, but when the third birth turned out to be a girl too, he could sit tight no more. He began to consult doctors, quacks, witches, and fortune-tellers. One geomancer told him that his ancestral graves were wrongly located, so he dug up his mother's grave and had her remains reburied. But that didn't seem to help him as he had a fourth daughter. Now really desperate he disturbed the dead again and had his father reburied this time. But it seemed nothing could help, for the fifth was still a daughter. In the meantime he had incurred upon himself heavy fines for violating family planning laws. Another geomancer told him that the gods would help him if he had a temple archway built. What would he not do as long as he could get a son？ So no expenses were spared and he did as the geomancer told him. But the gods remained unmoved and gave him another girl. As the newborn baby uttered her first cry upon entering this world, her father began to wail most miserably. He was now a bitterly disappointed and broken man. He became a heavy drinker. He habitually beat up his wife and daughters for no reasons at all. He had nothing to live for. He felt he could not look people in the face because he had no son. When the whole village had electric lights installed, he had to go without because he had no rnoney. In fact, his debts ran to four figures and he could see no way of repaying them. Then one day early this year, after loading himself heavy with drink, Zhou Chenghu ended his own miserable life at the age of forty. Perhaps he was not as guilty as the man who tried to drown his own daughter, but to leave his wife and six daughters to fend for themselves, though no crime was certainly not excusable. And all because he had no son！ Text B After ignoring family planning policies and siring three girls Zhang, who lives in a village in Henan Province, finally got the son he was waiting for this year. Despite the heavy fines exacted for breaking the regulations on family planning, Zhang was overjoyed. The honest and simple peasant does not hesitate when asked why he so much desired a son. “Why？ Who'll support me when I get old？” Actually there are some homes for old folks in the village and nearby. But though he supposes they live well there, Zhang still does not believe the old folks are happy.“It's just so-so there. Wlio knows what it'll be like over there when I get old. It's better to have a son,” Zhang said. And a son-in-law cannot be depended on to support him, says Zhang. A son-in-law who lives with his wife's family is looked down on by the community. He cannot be expected to replace a naturalson. A family nearby ha's four sons. Life became very hard when the two older sons got married. However., the third son says he would rather be a bachelor for life than risk having to take in some day his wife's aged parents. As China's family planning programme enters the 1990s, traditional ideas on family life are posing the major barriers to limiting China's population. These ideas have formed over thousands of years. The concept of “more sons, more happiness”still exists in some rural areas , especially in poor and remote ones. For some families, the presence of several sons gives parents a feeling of protection. Families with no boys , or few boys, may feel intimidated by families with many sons. Another problem the country must face is early marriages. A survey in a town in Zhecheng County shows young people marrying earlier than the law prescribes. Some are engaged by the age of 15. Parents dream of grandchildren, and sometimes they encourage early marriages, ignoring the government's call for “marriage at mature ages ”。

美语训练班第二十三课A: 大家好，又到了学美语的时间了！欢迎收听美语训练班！我是杨琳！B: 我是Jessica！杨琳,今天我们教什么呢？A: 今天，咱们要去跳芭蕾舞, 聊聊电视节目，了解一下各种各样的保险产品, 还要告诉大家怎么用美语说“软柿子”和“别烦我”。

B: Sounds good! 不过，我要先考考你，上期节目咱们在Learn a word中教的什么词你还记得么？A: 啊？这个....让我想一下....好像是"plummet" 对不对？就是暴跌的意思。

B: That's right! 今天咱们要教的这个词和plummet是相反的意思。

A: 快来听听！************************Learn A Word Hike今天我们要学的词是hike. Hike is spelled h-i-k-e; hike. Hike 意思是猛增，大幅度提高。

加州政府预算不足，导致加州州立大学学费猛增。

The University of California system is looking at possible tuition hikes of up to 16% in the fall of 2012. 加州大学系统正在考虑2012年秋季大幅度上调学费，最多可能会增加16％。

Netflix shares plummeted as subscribers left the service after its 60% price hike. 影视租赁公司Netflix大幅提高收费价格60％后，很多订户退订，造成该公司股价暴跌。

President Obama announced a tax hike proposal for the wealthy。

美国总统奥巴马宣布了一项给富人大幅度加税的提案。

好的，今天我们学习的词是hike, hike, hike.**********************A: Hike─大幅升高，猛增。

我用这个词儿造个句子──I want a salary hike.我想要工资猛涨！B：Everyone wants that! Probably you should talk with your supervisor and ask for it.A: 跟领导提涨工资？这个.....我该怎么说呢？B: Don't worry. I'm an expert in asking for a pay raise. 我可以教你。

A: 太好了！那你可得详详细细地告诉我，开始时要说什么，根据领导的反应，再说什么，最后说什么。

就跟下面我们要教的这个短语一样，You need to tell me everything, blow by blow!B: 好吧！不过，咱们先来听“美国习惯用语”，了解一下blow by blow的用法。

***************************Words and idioms: blow by blow女：各位听众，现在播送<美国习惯用语>第 943讲。

我是杨琳。

M：我是 Doug Johnson.女：话说昨天我接到了我妹妹的电话，她跟男朋友吵架了，特别伤心。

她把他们吵架的内容一句一句转述给我，足足讲了两个多小时! 这让我想到了一个习惯用语：M: Blow by blow. Blow is spelled b-l-o-w. Blow-by-blow. Blow by blow.女：Blow 这个词本身的意思是“敲击”，而Blow by blow作为一个习惯用语的意思是“详细地描述事情经过”。

My sister told me the fight BLOW BY BLOW. 我妹妹把她跟男朋友吵架的事原原本本告诉了我。

下面这个句子谈到一对好莱坞夫妇，Debbie and Charles。

我们来听一听：M: "What's Happened to one of Hollywood's hottest couples? First, Debbie learned that Charles had a serious gambling problem. There was a huge fight. A couple months later, Debbie threw all of his belongings into the street. He moved out,BLOW so far. "这段话是说：[好莱坞最红的夫妇，Debbie 和Charles之间到底怎么了? 原来啊，Debbie 得知Charles特别好赌，他们俩大吵了一架。

几个月之后，Debbie把Charles 的所有东西都扔到了大街上。

Charles搬了出去，还提出跟Debbie离婚。

目前知道的就是这些。

]女：当个明星真不容易。

现在社会，各种录音设备齐全，狗仔队很容易就能give a blow-to-blow description of their private life。

他们很容易就能详细披露明星的私生活。

好，让我们再来听一遍刚才那段话：M: "What's Happened to one of Hollywood's hottest couples? First, Debbie learned that Charles had a serious gambling problem. There was a huge fight. A couple months later, Debbie threw all of this belongings into the street. He moved out,BLOW so far. "女: 我有个朋友前几天在银行外面等人的时候，目睹了一次银行抢劫的经过! 他向警方详细描述了他所看到的情况。

让我们来听一听:M: "I was waiting outside of the bank. And, through the window, I saw the robber approach the teller, pull out a gun, and demand that she hand over all the money from her drawer. Then he shot at a guard before running out the side door. Since I saw it all happen, it was easy for me to give the police a BLOW-BY-BLOW description."这段话是说：[我当时在银行外面等人。

透过窗户我看到那个抢劫犯走向出纳员，拔出一把枪，逼她把抽屉里的所有现金拿出来。

之后他向警卫开枪，从侧门逃了出去。

因为我一直在那，所以我能够向警察详细描述事情的全部过程。

]女: 有了这么详尽的描述，警察寻找起嫌疑犯来一定容易多了。

请大家注意，blow by blow也可以当作形容词来用，意思是“详尽的”，比如说，a blow-by-blow description, 详尽的描述；a blow-by-blow analysis, 详尽的分析； a blow-by-blow review，详尽的审查。

做形容词的时候，我们一般要在这个短语之间加上hyphen, 连字符。

好，我们再来听听刚才那段话：M: "I was waiting outside of the bank. And, through the window, I saw the robber approach the teller, pull out a gun, and demand that she hand over all the money from her drawer. Then he shot at a guard before running out the side door. Since I saw it all happen, it was easy for me to give the police a BLOW-BY-BLOW description."女：各位听众，今天我们学习的习惯用语是blow by blow，意思是“详尽描述”。

********************A: Jessica, 你知道咱们的“美语怎么说“节目被做成有声电子书放在网上了吧？B: Of course! People love it and we have tens of thousands of downloads!A: 没错！不过，有声电子书还是比较新的东西，好多读者还不太明白下载后要怎么做才能听到课程的声音。

B: Maybe we should add a blow-by-blow guide at the beginning of the book and teach everyone how to listen to the audio.A: That's a great idea!B: 好！那咱们就来听今天的“美语怎么说”！*************************How to say it: pushoverDonny 在北京学中文，他的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。

今天是方方要问的：软柿子Donny: 方方，Why do you look so tired?FF: 别提了，我今天又被同事叫去跑腿儿。

好累啊！我真不想再当软柿子被人使唤了！我要告诉他们，I don't want to be a...a....Donny：你不是昨天才帮他们买咖啡吗? 你应该让他们 run their own errands! You should stop being a push-over!FF: 你上次教我 run errands 是跑腿儿。

那 a push-over 被人推来搡去，就是好欺负对不对?Donny: 没错。

a push-over 就是好欺负的人，你刚刚说什么"软狮子" 来着?FF: 不是软狮子，是软柿子，吃的那种柿子。

Donny: Oh, "soft persimmon"? Sounds delicious! In English, you can also call a push-over a cowardly lion. A cowardly lion is someone who is supposed to be brave but lacks courage and acts cowardly.FF: cowardly lion? 懦弱的狮子? 一个狮子，一个柿子。
