如何攻克托福口語(yǔ)中的“美式發(fā)音”
在備考托?？谡Z(yǔ)的過(guò)程中，發(fā)音也是很多考生的一大難點(diǎn)。很多人在備考前總要糾結(jié)于選擇哪一種語(yǔ)音的問(wèn)題。在準(zhǔn)備托?？荚嚨臅r(shí)候，選擇美式發(fā)音往往會(huì)占據(jù)一定的優(yōu)勢(shì)。但是，對(duì)于“美式發(fā)音”我們又應(yīng)該注意哪些問(wèn)題呢?下面是小編為您收集整理的如何攻克托?？谡Z(yǔ)中的“美式發(fā)音”，供大家參考!
如何攻克托福口語(yǔ)中的“美式發(fā)音”?練習(xí)中需注意3要點(diǎn)
第一點(diǎn)：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(tīng)過(guò)有一位朋友，將China中的na也念成兒音，而且念的很重，讓人覺(jué)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(diǎn)希望初學(xué)者注意。
第二點(diǎn)：口頭語(yǔ)言與書面語(yǔ)言最好保持一致。如果您選擇了“美音”，那么您的口頭語(yǔ)言(美音)最好與書面語(yǔ)言保持一致，也就是在文章中，盡量使用美國(guó)英語(yǔ)特有的詞匯。比如有的同學(xué)，就是一口標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的“美音”，但他的文章中，卻使用railway、shop、got等英國(guó)英語(yǔ)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(yǔ)言與書面語(yǔ)言保持一致。
第三點(diǎn)：注意某些國(guó)家的反美傾向。學(xué)完“美音”之后，去美國(guó)工作，當(dāng)然沒(méi)有任何問(wèn)題，這是最理想的，但是萬(wàn)一您去某些反美國(guó)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(shuō)，許多巴勒斯坦人厭惡Hebrew(希伯萊語(yǔ))和English(英語(yǔ))，認(rèn)為它們是Satan(撒旦)的語(yǔ)言，是Zionist(猶太復(fù)國(guó)主義)的語(yǔ)言。當(dāng)然，這是一種很偏激的政治觀點(diǎn)，但我們可以從中看出當(dāng)?shù)貜?qiáng)烈的反以、反美情緒。假如您今后是去這種國(guó)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(lái)比較平易、隨便，也更加貼合美國(guó)社會(huì)的交流方式，更能夠討評(píng)分者的喜歡。因此大家在準(zhǔn)備托?？谡Z(yǔ)考試的過(guò)程中，不妨多練習(xí)美式發(fā)音。
