如何攻克托??谡Z中的“美式發(fā)音”
在備考托??谡Z的過程中,發(fā)音也是很多考生的一大難點。很多人在備考前總要糾結(jié)于選擇哪一種語音的問題。在準備托福考試的時候,選擇美式發(fā)音往往會占據(jù)一定的優(yōu)勢。但是,對于“美式發(fā)音”我們又應(yīng)該注意哪些問題呢?下面是小編為您收集整理的如何攻克托??谡Z中的“美式發(fā)音”,供大家參考!
如何攻克托??谡Z中的“美式發(fā)音”?練習(xí)中需注意3要點
第一點:不濫用“美音”中的兒化音。各位都知道,在“美音”中,有許多兒化音,比如comer中的mer,maker中的ker,等等。但據(jù)我觀察,有些學(xué)習(xí)者不分具體情況,濫用兒音。比如我聽過有一位朋友,將China中的na也念成兒音,而且念的很重,讓人覺得很怪異,很別扭。“美音”中的兒音,通常只出現(xiàn)在er這樣的字母組合上,并不是所有相似的音都發(fā)兒音,因此這一點希望初學(xué)者注意。
第二點:口頭語言與書面語言最好保持一致。如果您選擇了“美音”,那么您的口頭語言(美音)最好與書面語言保持一致,也就是在文章中,盡量使用美國英語特有的詞匯。比如有的同學(xué),就是一口標(biāo)準的“美音”,但他的文章中,卻使用railway、shop、got等英國英語特有的詞匯。既然你講“美音”,那這些單詞最好改成railroad、store、gotten等,以便讓口頭語言與書面語言保持一致。
第三點:注意某些國家的反美傾向。學(xué)完“美音”之后,去美國工作,當(dāng)然沒有任何問題,這是最理想的,但是萬一您去某些反美國家工作,您就要考慮一下政治因素。一位巴勒斯坦朋友Shaath曾經(jīng)說,許多巴勒斯坦人厭惡Hebrew(希伯萊語)和English(英語),認為它們是Satan(撒旦)的語言,是Zionist(猶太復(fù)國主義)的語言。當(dāng)然,這是一種很偏激的政治觀點,但我們可以從中看出當(dāng)?shù)貜娏业姆匆?、反美情緒。假如您今后是去這種國家工作,為了您的工作順利,甚至為了您的人身安全,我建議您學(xué)“英音”!
美式發(fā)音和英式發(fā)音比起來比較平易、隨便,也更加貼合美國社會的交流方式,更能夠討評分者的喜歡。因此大家在準備托??谡Z考試的過程中,不妨多練習(xí)美式發(fā)音。
