你一定要認得出嘅 50 個英文口語模式

你一定要認得出嘅 50 個英文口語模式

如果自然英文聽落太快，問題可能唔係速度。

問題可能係模式辨識。

Native speaker 一次又一次噉用同樣嘅 connected speech 模式：linking、reduction、deletion、assimilation、schwa 同 stress。一旦你認得出呢啲模式，你就唔會再將每句句子當成又新又令人困惑嘅嘢。

呢篇文章畀你 50 個你應該識嘅英文口語模式。你講嘢嗰陣唔需要全部用晒。但聆聽嗰陣，你確實需要認得出佢哋。

究竟發生緊咩事？

英文口語唔係將書面英文逐個字讀出嚟。

喺自然講話入面：

  • 字連埋一齊
  • 常見短語弱化
  • 啲音消失
  • 啲音喺第啲音附近改變
  • 非重讀元音變成 schwa
  • 重讀嘅字承載主要訊息

呢啲模式令英文更快、更順暢、更有節奏。

目標唔係背熟每一個可能嘅讀法。目標係建立一張聆聽地圖。當你聽到一個快嘅短語嗰陣，你可以問：呢個係 linking？呢個係 reduction？呢個係 deletion？呢個係 assimilation？呢個係一個弱 schwa？邊個字被重讀？

個模式

大部分英文口語嘅變化可以歸入呢啲類別：

Linking：一個字嘅結尾連去下一個字嘅開頭。 Reduction：常見嘅字或者短語變得更短、更弱。 Deletion：一個音，好多時係 t 或者 d，冇完整讀出。 Assimilation：一個音因為附近一個音而改變。 Schwa：一個非重讀元音變成一個弱 "uh" 音。 Stress：重要嘅字變得更清楚、更長或者更大聲。

將呢啲類別當成聆聽標籤。標籤幫你個腦組織啲曾經聽落似噪音嘅嘢。

聆聽貼士

唔好嘗試喺一日之內背熟全部 50 個模式。

相反，一個禮拜揀一個類別。

第一週：聽 linking。 第二週：聽 reduction。 第三週：聽 deletion。 第四週：聽 assimilation。 第五週：聽 schwa。 第六週：聽 stress。

當你聽到一句感覺好快嘅句子嗰陣，停低同分類佢。就算你唔可以全部明白，都問吓：

"呢度發生緊咩類型嘅 connected speech？"

呢條問題將你嘅聆聽由恐慌變成分析。

講嘢貼士

至於講嘢，要清楚行先。

你唔需要將每個弱化形式都講到完全似 native speaker。事實上，硬要太多 reduction 可以令你嘅講話唔清楚。

由三個安全嘅講話目標開始：

  1. 當一個字以輔音結尾、而下一個字以元音開頭嗰陣，順暢噉連音。
  2. 喺隨意嘅講話入面用 gonna、wanna 同 hafta 呢類常見嘅 reduction。
  3. 清楚噉重讀主要嘅字。

舉個例：

"I'm gonna MEET him after WORK."

Reduction 令佢自然。Stress 令佢清楚。

小練習

由清單揀十個模式。

對每一個：

  1. 讀書面形式。
  2. 慢慢講出口語形式。
  3. 自然噉講出嚟。
  4. 放入你自己嘅句子。
  5. 喺真實錄音入面聽出佢。

練習集：

  • going to → gonna
  • want to → wanna
  • have to → hafta
  • did you → didja
  • could you → couldja
  • next week → nex week
  • cup of → cup uh
  • can you → c'n you
  • pick it up → pickit up
  • blue one, not red one → BLUE, not RED

而家用至少三個類別造五句原創句子。

例子：

"I'm gonna pick it up next week." 模式：reduction、linking、deletion。

常犯嘅錯誤

常犯嘅錯誤，係將呢啲模式當成要模仿嘅俚語、而唔係要認得出嘅聆聽模式。

有啲 reduction 係隨意嘅。有啲喺日常講話入面好常見。有啲喺正式書寫入面可能唔適合。但作為一個聽者，你需要全部聽得明。

另一個錯誤，係以為每個講者弱化字嘅方式都完全一樣。口音、速度、正式度、地區同個人講話風格全部都有影響。

將呢張清單當成一個辨識指南，而唔係一本嚴格嘅規則書。

總結

當你認得出重複嘅口語模式嗰陣，自然英文就會變得更易。

呢篇文章入面嘅 50 個模式顯示最重要嘅幾種 connected speech 類型：linking、reduction、deletion、assimilation、schwa 同 stress。

你唔需要分開噉聽到每一個字。你需要聽出啲字一齊出現嗰陣點樣表現。

由一個類別開始，用短錄音練習，並且經常複習。久而久之，快嘅英文就會冇咁似一團模糊，而更似一個系統。
