提高英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力的方法

　　.語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)音是學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言的基礎(chǔ)。不同的語(yǔ)音有不同的語(yǔ)義。把握不當(dāng)就會(huì)影響聽(tīng)力的理解。所以.語(yǔ)音問(wèn)題是聽(tīng)力教學(xué)的一個(gè)重要環(huán)節(jié)。以下是小編為大家整理的提高英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力的方法，希望能幫助大家提高英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力水平。

　　提高英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力：注意重音和語(yǔ)調(diào)

　　你知道英語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)的重要性嗎?英語(yǔ)是一門強(qiáng)調(diào)重音和語(yǔ)調(diào)的語(yǔ)言，把握好句子的重音，會(huì)讓你的聽(tīng)力水平提升一個(gè)臺(tái)階哦。

　　Say this sentence aloud and count how many seconds it takes.

　　大聲的朗讀這個(gè)句子，看看你花了多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間:

　　The beautiful Mountain appeared transfixed in the distance.

　　Time required? Probably about 5 seconds. Now, try speaking this sentence aloud.

　　多久?5秒鐘?現(xiàn)在試著大聲朗讀這個(gè)句子：

　　He can come on Sundays as long as he doesn't have to do any homework in the evening.

　　Time required? Probably about 5 seconds.

　　多少時(shí)間?大約5秒鐘.

　　可是第一個(gè)句子比第二個(gè)句子短哦。

　　This simple exercise makes a very important point about how we speak and use English. Namely, English is considered a stressed language while many other languages are considered syllabic. What does that mean? It means that, in English, we give stress to certain words while other words are quickly spoken (some students say eaten!). In other languages, such as French or Italian, each syllable receives equal importance (there is stress, but each syllable has its own length).

　　這個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的例子說(shuō)明了我們是怎樣說(shuō)和使用英語(yǔ)的。在英語(yǔ)中，一些詞讀的很快，一些詞會(huì)重讀。在法語(yǔ)和意大利語(yǔ)中，每一個(gè)音節(jié)都同樣重要，沒(méi)有輕重之分，但是每個(gè)音節(jié)長(zhǎng)度不同。

　　Many speakers of syllabic languages don't understand why we quickly speak, or swallow, a number of words in a sentence. In syllabic languages each syllable has equal importance, and therefore equal time is needed. English however, spends more time on specific stressed words while quickly gliding over the other, less important, words.

　　講這些語(yǔ)言的人就不明白一個(gè)句子中的一些詞為什么需要快讀，或者慢下來(lái)。對(duì)這類語(yǔ)言來(lái)說(shuō)，每個(gè)音節(jié)都同樣重要，所以需要同樣的時(shí)間。但是，英語(yǔ)在一些特別的需要重讀的詞上花的時(shí)間多些，一些不重要的詞就快速略過(guò)。

　　Let's look at a simple example: the modal verb "can". When we use the positive form of "can" we quickly glide over the can and it is hardly pronounced.

　　On the other hand, when we use the negative form "can't" we tend to stress the fact that it is the negative form by also stressing "can't".

　　As you can see from the above example the sentence, "They can't come on Friday" is longer than "They can come on Friday" because both the modal"can't" and the verb "come" are stressed.

　　舉一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的例子。情態(tài)動(dòng)詞can。在我們需要強(qiáng)調(diào)can的肯定意義的時(shí)候就會(huì)快速略過(guò)，發(fā)音不明顯。可是，當(dāng)你要用can的否定形式的時(shí)候，我們就會(huì)重點(diǎn)強(qiáng)調(diào)"不能"這個(gè)事實(shí)，也就是"can't"

　　So, what does this mean for my speaking skills?

　　Well, first of all, you need to understand which words we generally stress and which we do not stress. Basically, stress words are considered CONTENT WORDSsuch as

　　Nouns e.g. kitchen, Peter

　　(most) principal verbs e.g. visit, construct

　　Adjectives e.g. beautiful, interesting

　　Adverbs e.g. often, carefully

　　Non-stressed words are considered FUNCTION WORDSsuch as

　　Determiners e.g. the, a, some, a few

　　Auxiliary verbs e.g. don't, am, can, were

　　Prepositions e.g. before, next to, opposite

　　Conjunctions e.g. but, while, as

　　Pronouns e.g. they, she, us

　　那么，什么詞需要重讀 ，什么詞不需要呢?對(duì)于英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力來(lái)說(shuō)，你能正確的說(shuō)出來(lái)的時(shí)候才會(huì)聽(tīng)的比較準(zhǔn)確。

　　一般名詞，主要的動(dòng)詞，形容詞，副詞需要重讀。

　　不需要重讀的詞有：冠詞，助動(dòng)詞，介詞，連詞，代詞。

　　Even though the second sentence is approximately 30% longer than the first, the sentences take the same time to speak. This is because there are 5 stressedwords in each sentence. From this example, you can see that you needn't worry about pronouncing every word clearly to be understood (we native speakers certainly don't). You should however, concentrate on pronouncing the stressed words clearly.

　　現(xiàn)在回到我們最初的那個(gè)例子。盡管第二個(gè)句子比第一個(gè)長(zhǎng)大約30%，但是讀起來(lái)卻花了同樣的時(shí)間。因?yàn)樵谶@2個(gè)句子中都有5個(gè)重音。從這個(gè)例子中你可以看出，你不需要把每個(gè)單詞都發(fā)音準(zhǔn)確。把重音發(fā)音清楚就可以了。

　　Now, do some listening comprehension or go speak to your native English speaking friends and listen to how we concentrate on the stressed words rather than giving importance to each syllable. You will soon find that you can understand and communicate more because you begin to listen for (and use in speaking) stressed words. All those words that you thought you didn't understand are really not crucial for understanding the sense or making yourself understood. Stressed words are the key to excellent pronunciation and understanding of English.

　　現(xiàn)在，回到聽(tīng)力上，做一些聽(tīng)力理解或者和你的語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)伙伴聊天，聽(tīng)他們是如何強(qiáng)調(diào)重音。你很快就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你更容易聽(tīng)懂和交流因?yàn)槟阋呀?jīng)開(kāi)始留意重音了。

　　重音是發(fā)音優(yōu)美，理解，聽(tīng)懂英語(yǔ)的重要因素。
