都说美音难发美音难发,其实也不怪大家抱怨,为什么呢?又没人教过我们,又没环境可以让我们练。就算准备个托福,也都是短平快的去备考去机械化的背诵,语音都还没准备好,肉身已在国外了
备考过托福的宝宝们肯定都知道跟读,对吗?老湿们也都会跟大家反复强调,做完听力要跟读,做完阅读也要跟读,写作也可以自己读出来,口语就更不用说啦!坚持下来的有几个人呢,寥寥无几?但事实上没有强大的自制力确实会比较难办到。怎么办?发音不准貌似严重影响到了我整个托福备考的效率。
寻寻觅觅、磕磕绊绊、停停学学……美剧、VOA、纠音视频……终于让我发现了适合我自己的美音学习套路——跟唱英文歌!
欧美很多流行歌曲曲调朗朗上口,歌美人美,尤其是我的大女神的歌,每天都想听每天都要听,根本停不下来。拿它们做纠音和连读练习再适合不过了。
更重要的是歌曲的韵律节奏已经把该划分的意群给划分了,顾名思义你只要跟着歌练节奏就好了。不需要你像对待托福听力文本那样,自己动脑动手再划分再加工,节省练习时间,试问还有比英文歌更好的练习文本吗!特别是高潮的部分一般都会比较简单非常catchy,一学就会,并且由于高潮部分本来在歌曲里面就循环了很多遍,无形中也帮你练习了很多遍,就算错了也能很快反应过来。
别看我现在是托福老师了,但我自认不是什么口齿惊奇的奇女纸,也有过非常Chinglish的时期,通过英文歌,不断的自我纠错,不断的跟读练习,现在的发音连我的外国朋友都说好了呢。
下面我就用我霉霉的一首歌,教教大家听英文歌的正确姿势!
快速浏览一下歌词:
I remember when we broke up(1) the first time(重叠了,只发一个音)
Saying "This is it, I've(1) had enough(1)"
Cause like
We hadn't seen each other in a(1) month
When you said you(2) needed space... What?
Then you come around(1) again and say
"Baby, I miss you(2) and I(1) swear I'm gonna change. Trust me."
Remember how that lasted for(3) a day?
I say, "I hate you(2)," we break up(1), you call me...
I love you.
Ooh, we called it(1) off again(1) last night but
Ooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you...
We are never ever ever... getting back together
We are never ever ever... getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever... getting back together
Like, ever.
I'm really gonna miss you(2) picking fights
And me falling for it(1), screaming that I'm right
And you would hide away(1) and find your(2) peace of mind(1)
With some indie record that's much cooler than mine
Ooh, you called me up again(1) tonight but
Ooh, this time, I'm telling you, I'm telling you
We are never ever ever... getting back together
We are never ever ever... getting back together
You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever... getting back together
I used to think that we were forever, ever and I used to say "Never say never..."
(Sigh)...So he calls me up, and he's like, "I still love you," and I'm like, I mean this is exhausting. You know, like we are never getting back together. Like, ever.
第一遍
请大家一定要抑制住看到英文就想译的冲动,只要把声音跟单词对上号就好,现在你要对自己说:你的目的是把这一坨一坨的声音搞明白它对应的到底是什么单词!!!
第二遍
二次扫一下歌词,有没有发现音变的部分——连读、同化和失爆。音变的部分我已经给大家划好线啦,你们直接把它们对号入座就好(注:要记住标记音变的顺序一定是你先自己听到了这个地方有音变才去歌词那里标的。)
连读
在分分分这首歌里的连读多为前一单词以辅音结尾,而后一个单词用元音结尾,这种情况总统用“元音+辅音”来表示,在歌词里会用1来代表
同化
两个相邻的音互相影响产生了这两个音以外的读音,这种情况叫同化。句子同化有着以下几种情况:d+j=dʒ; t+j=tʃ; s+j=ʃ; z+j=ʒ,我在歌词里面都用2来表示。至于具体是什么音标,大家自己动手去查查吧!
失爆(失去爆破)
当爆破音与f、 v、s、z、ʃ、ʒ、θ、ð、r、h这些摩擦音相邻的时候,爆破音只做出口型,失去爆破。比如歌词中:lasted for a day中t就失爆了,我用3来代表。
歌词里还有粉色跟红色标注的部分,是因为在副歌里面这些单词出现非常多遍,大家可以跟着霉霉练习中元音/e/和清辅音/t/的完美美式发音,因为霉霉的发音实在太好听,可以跟着多练练!
1.下载歌曲,先听个3-5遍
2.对照歌词,标注每句话里的音变现象,直到你觉得确实没什么特殊发音现象就停止(3-5遍)
3.边听歌边跟着哼唱,找自己的节奏(3-5遍)
4.不跟着原唱自己试着去读出来,一定要把音变的地方给读对(应该会需要很多遍)
5.确定自己都读对了然后节奏也把握好了,就开始跟着原唱大声的唱出来吧(这里也会需要很多遍)
6,最后神功炼成,快去唱吧装装逼吧,咩哈哈哈!
