要点:
- 口语中的简化:
- Want to -> wanna
- Going to -> gonna
- Don’t know -> dunno know
- got to -> gotta
- 忽略无意义词句
- 使用缩写
- 重音、俚语和习语
口语中的简化:
- Want to会连读称wanna,比如
I want to go to london ->I wanna go to london
I want to study in the US -> I wanna study in the US - going to读成 gonna
I’m going to wash the car ->I’m gonna wash the car - don’t know读成dunno know
I don’t know -> I dunno know - got to 读成 gotta
I got to do my homework -> I gotta do my homework
忽略口语中的一些无意义词句(fillers),比如:
- actually
- anyway
- basically
- By the way
- Erm(象声词)
当然反过来我们说的时候也可以插入一些这些句子,给自己多些时间思考
- I mean
- incidentally
- in fact
- obviously
- well
- you know
比如下面这个句子,去掉斜体字对意思是没有影响的:
By the way, I saw Mark yesterday. Erm, so obviously I said ‘hello’ to him but he basically ignored me!
使用缩写
缩写规则 | 例句 | 注意 |
---|---|---|
I am -> I’m | I am hungry -> I’m hungry | 无 |
I will -> I’ll | I will do that -> I’ll do that I will pick it up -> I’ll pick it up |
缩写不能用在人名后面 Kate will do that $\ne $ Kate’ll do that |
do not = don’t | I do not like it => I don’t like it | |
I have => I’ve | I have got your back -> I’ve got your back I have done this befor -> I’ve done this before |
|
I would => I’d | I would like to join you => I’d like to join you I would like to stay home -> I’d like to stay home |
|
其他
另外在口语中注意一些几点可以提升听力:
