怎樣改善英語發(fā)音?

　　現(xiàn)在學(xué)習(xí)英語的人非常多，很多人會(huì)忽視培養(yǎng)英語發(fā)音，今天英語外教老師給大家分享怎樣改善英語發(fā)音?

　　There are so many people learning English now, many people will neglect to cultivate English pronunciation. Today, the English foreign teacher will share with you how to improve English pronunciation?

　　1.學(xué)習(xí)音標(biāo)

　　1. Learning phonetic symbols

　　熟悉音標(biāo)將會(huì)幫你辨認(rèn)一些新的發(fā)音并且給你提供一些標(biāo)記來駕馭你所學(xué)的語言。熟悉一門語言的音素能夠幫助你辨認(rèn)耳朵本身不能辨認(rèn)的聲音。一旦辯認(rèn)出這些聲音，當(dāng)你聽別人說新語言或者用一門新語言交談的時(shí)候，你就會(huì)注意他們的發(fā)音方式。

　　Familiarity with phonetic symbols will help you recognize new sounds and provide you with markers to control your language. Knowing the phonemes of a language can help you recognize sounds that your ears cannot recognize. Once you recognize these sounds, you will pay attention to the way they are pronounced when you listen to someone speaking a new language or talking in a new language.

　　通過注意你所學(xué)語言的聲音范圍，你將學(xué)會(huì)怎樣區(qū)分那些對(duì)于并未接受專業(yè)訓(xùn)練的耳朵來說很相似的聲音，這樣會(huì)使拼寫更加容易。如果你大多數(shù)時(shí)間都通過閱讀來學(xué)習(xí)，那么這種方法將會(huì)尤其有益。

　　By paying attention to the range of sounds in your language, you will learn how to distinguish sounds that are similar to those of an untrained ear, making spelling easier. If you study by reading most of the time, this method will be particularly beneficial.

　　2.熟悉口語

　　2. Be familiar with spoken English

　　從理論轉(zhuǎn)換到實(shí)踐：使你自己盡可能多地接觸你所學(xué)的語言。如果你有機(jī)會(huì)，盡可能多和母語使用者交流。當(dāng)你某一個(gè)發(fā)音有問題的時(shí)候，讓別人重復(fù)它，并且用你的手機(jī)錄制下來。你可以用手機(jī)重復(fù)播放，盡可能多地練習(xí)發(fā)音。你也可以用在線的網(wǎng)絡(luò)詞典聽正確的發(fā)音，這樣你的耳朵就會(huì)對(duì)那些一開始并不熟悉的發(fā)音熟悉起來。還可以聽播客或者看電視節(jié)目來學(xué)習(xí)語言。即使你不能理解所有的東西，在你做家務(wù)的時(shí)候播放它作為背景樂會(huì)讓你習(xí)慣這些特殊的音調(diào)和不熟悉的聲音。

　　From theory to practice: make yourself as much contact with the language as possible. If you have the opportunity, communicate with native speakers as much as possible. When you have a pronunciation problem, ask someone to repeat it and record it on your cell phone. You can play it over and over again on your cell phone and practice your pronunciation as much as you can. You can also use the online dictionary to listen to the correct pronunciation, so that your ears will be familiar with those unfamiliar pronunciation at the beginning. You can also listen to podcasts or watch TV programs to learn languages. Even if you can't understand everything, playing it as a background music while you're doing housework will get you used to these special tones and unfamiliar sounds.

　　3.弄清楚“怪異”的發(fā)音

　　3. Find out the pronunciation of "weird"

　　使用這種方法，你很快就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你新學(xué)的語言和你的母語有很多共同的發(fā)音(即使這些音的寫法不同)。弄清楚發(fā)音的相似之處，你就可以把注意力集中在那些母語里沒有的音上面。不要試圖把這些不熟悉的音和你母語中熟悉的音進(jìn)行系統(tǒng)的比較。這似乎是一個(gè)有效的捷徑，但是這是一個(gè)壞習(xí)慣，它會(huì)使你的發(fā)音在長期內(nèi)更難得到改正。

　　Using this method, you will soon find that your new language and your mother tongue have many common sounds (even if they are written differently). By figuring out the similarities, you can focus on the sounds that are not in your native language. Don't try to systematically compare these unfamiliar sounds with those familiar in your native language. It seems to be an effective shortcut, but it's a bad habit, it will make your pronunciation more difficult to correct in the long run.

　　4.聽，聽，再聽!

　　4. Listen, listen, listen again!

　　像在第二點(diǎn)中提到的一樣，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)能夠讓你接觸到許多幫助你改善發(fā)音的音頻資料，盡可能多和規(guī)律地去聽，而不是一直把注意力集中在語法和詞匯上。花一些時(shí)間去學(xué)習(xí)語言的發(fā)音知識(shí)，聽一些短的音頻，注意韻律、停頓和音調(diào)。努力去弄清楚是什么使句子變得流暢并且努力去模仿。如果你用看電影來學(xué)習(xí)一門新的語言，不要去看字幕，要看演員的口型。

　　As mentioned in the second point, the Internet can give you access to many audio materials that can help you improve your pronunciation and listen as often and regularly as possible, rather than focusing on grammar and vocabulary all the time. Take some time to learn the pronunciation of the language, listen to some short audio, pay attention to rhythm, pause and tone. Try to figure out what makes the sentence fluent and try to imitate it. If you learn a new language by watching a movie, don't watch the subtitles. It depends on the actor's mouth shape.

　　如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣很難，放慢你正在看的視頻或者音頻的速度。這樣會(huì)幫助你辨別并且區(qū)分每一個(gè)音節(jié)。另一方面，如果你的理解能力很不錯(cuò)，你可以通過加快速度挑戰(zhàn)你自己。

　　If you find it hard, slow down the video or audio you are watching. This will help you to identify and distinguish each syllable. On the other hand, if you have a good understanding, you can challenge yourself by speeding up.

　　5.練習(xí)，練習(xí)，再練習(xí)

　　5. Practice, practice, practice again

　　訓(xùn)練發(fā)音需要一些技巧和耐心，因此，如果效果不是立竿見影，請(qǐng)不要失去動(dòng)力。為了效率最大化，你的訓(xùn)練課程應(yīng)該頻繁一點(diǎn)—課程的間隔不超過兩天。搜集報(bào)紙文章，電影劇本和歌詞，在大聲朗讀它們的時(shí)候記錄下來。然后回放并且分析：你的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)是什么?你把母語的哪些習(xí)慣帶到新的語言中?你也可以向一些母語使用者尋求發(fā)音的幫助。

　　Training pronunciation requires some skills and patience, so if the effect is not immediate, please do not lose motivation. To maximize efficiency, your training sessions should be frequent - no more than two days apart. Collect newspaper articles, screenplays and lyrics, and record them as you read them aloud. Then play back and analyze: what are your strengths and weaknesses? Which habits of your native language do you bring into the new language? You can also ask some native speakers for help with pronunciation.
