英语是一种西日耳曼语支,最早被中世纪的英国使用,并因其广阔的殖民地而成为世界使用面积最广的语言。下面是小编整理的关于英语句子停顿的技巧,欢迎阅览。
篇一:英语口语的意群与停顿
I.绕口令练习
1.Abigblackbugbitthebackofabigblackbear.Thebigblackbearbitbackthebigblackbug.
2.Thisfishhasathinfin;thatfishhasafatfin;thisfishisafishthathasathinnerfinthanthatfish.思考:不注意节奏和停顿会造成哪些问题?

II.如何把握英语朗读的节奏与停顿?
英语句子也有自己拆分的规则。要把握好节奏和停顿,必须了解英语的意群和停顿。
A.意群(Sense-group)
一个句子可以是一个语调组,但语调组并不等于一个句子。小于句子的语音单位是意群。意群是句子内部有相对完整意义的一组词。既然有一定的意义,就必然有表征一定意义的某种语调类型。
B.停顿(Pause)
在一个较长的句子中,如果按意群来读,意群之间稍加停顿,就可以让听者听清我们语流中的意群和句子,也可以喘一口气,接着再说,而且能体现出英语所特有的节奏和韵律,但是在一个意群中不可停顿。
C.停顿的方法
语言虽然是一个一个音组成的,但不是一个音一个音或一个词一个词吐出来的,而是一组一组,一群一群相互密切联系的意群组合。意群之间可以由好几个单词组成,也可以只是一个单词组成。意群和意群之间可以有微弱的停顿(但不一定要停顿)。为了在朗读或说话时把意群很好地联系在一起,就需要恰当的停顿,拖音或连读来一气呵成。至于意群之间停顿的频率问题,这就要看讲话或朗读的速度,讲得慢时停顿就多些,反之就少些。
示例:
里根总统第二任就职演说词:"Wemustdowhatweknowisright,anddoitwithallourmight."(我们必须做我们知道是正确的事,而且要全力去做。)决不能读成"We/must/do/what/we/know/isright,/anddo/itwithall/ourmight."
长句中有短暂的停顿,藉以调和呼吸,这是自然的现象,但停顿的地方必须恰到好处。通常在:1.有标点符号的地方;2.词组或思想单元之间。短语,从句等思想单元(即意群)成一单位,但它们之间可以短暂停顿。例如:"Wemustdo/whatweknowisright,/anddoit/withallourmight.(斜线为可以稍做停顿之处).
练习:朗读并用斜杠标出句子中的意群

篇二:英语朗读断句
按意群分,我先帮你明确分开,你一步一步熟悉:
Oneofthemaskedhimifhecouldtellthemwhattheweatherwouldbelike
withinthenextfewdays.
TheseoldIndiansknowmoreofthesecretsofNaturethanwedo
withallourscience.
念的时候要注意音调,熟悉后再加快速度。
Oneofthemaskedhimifhecouldtellthemwhattheweatherwouldbelikewithinthenextfewdays.
TheseoldIndiansknowmoreofthesecretsofNaturethanwedowithallourscience.
ps:
其一,要想读的连贯,一定注意“连读”和“失去爆破”,不然英语说的再快也不能算是“流利”,听起来很别扭,也就是所说的中国式英语。
连读:当相邻的两个词,前面的以辅音结尾,后面以元音开头,通常是可以连读的,这里所说的元音辅音都是指国际音标。如:comeand。
失去爆破:英语的音标中有6个爆破音,[b、p、t、d、k、g],当这样的两个音相邻时,第一个音不发音,只稍稍停顿一下再读后面的音。如:andgo。综合上面的两个例句comeandgo,按照“连读”和“失去爆破”的原则,读出来是这样的(为了表达方便这里用汉字标注,见谅)“康蛮购”,而不是“康姆安的购”
其二,正确把握句子中重读与轻读的词。词的重读基本按照:
重读:名、形、数、代、动、副;
轻读:介、连、冠、叹。
但一个句子中通常只有几个词是重读的,这要多模仿,久了就自然了。
其三,“断句”在表达中很重要,话不用说的很快,但却显得很连贯自然。长的句子按照意思的群落(即“意群”)适当断开、稍加停顿(即“停顿”),断开的几部分都具有相对完整的意思。这样,你每一次停顿,别人都会听懂你表达的意思,不至于前言不搭后语。
其四,断句的方法:大致按照句子成分“主语、谓语、宾语、定语、状语、补足语”的结构断开或停顿。
这样将长句子拆开来读,只要“断”的适当,即便你读得很慢,听起来也非常自然连贯。当然,短句子就没必要断开了,请看下面的例句:
例句一:那边正在会上发言的人是我哥哥最好的朋友。
------中心语-------断-------较长的定语--------断-----较长的谓语(系表)------
例句二:这是我昨天在超级市场买的书。
Thisisthebook//Iboughtyesterday//atthesupermarket.----中心语-------断------较长的定语----断-----较长的状语-----
1.有标点的地方常是断句所在。如:
JohnSmith,/ourteacher,/camein/withabookinhishand.Ourteacher前后逗号隔开,那么一般读的时候这也需要断开。
2.一个功能可能是断句所在。如:
JohnSmith,/ourteacher,/camein/withabookinhishand.
从另一个角度讲ourteacher做的是同位语,因此作为一个语调群。Camein做谓语Withabookinhishand做方式状语,因此要放在一起作为一个语调群。
3.分句常是断句的地方,如:
Hedidnotcometoworkyesterday/becausehewasseriouslyill.
但是具体地还是要看录音中是如何读的。比如:
这个句子的两个分句还可以划分为:
He/didnot/cometowork/yesterday/because/he/wasseriouslyill.
按意群分

美语听力与发音技巧第10期(断句)
英语断句一句分层,连词归后
Shewasarrested//andkilled.
关系代词等也放后面,与从句放一起
Thefindingsconcern//thathowthetwosexesprocesslanguage.
这些研究结果涉及两形势如何处理语言的
Samcameout//withafoolishspeech//whichmadeothersannoying.(cameoutwith:saysuddenly)In1980,//shecameforwardtoadmit//thatshewasthenurse.Inthosedays,//boxersfoughtwithbarefists//forprizemoney.
划分句子成分,在成分之间断。并列成分如用and/or等连
接是在之前断。强调某个词时,可以前后断。总之,最重要的—语感,再简单点,你用汉语说的时候认为哪个地方该停顿,英语里大致也是那些地方。
如果是理解句子结构的断句,必须在句号处,或者用连词连接两个分句的地方才能断。很多人在这里提问的时候光把一个从句放上来然后说哪个哪个动词不对……郁闷。
断句,需要多听原声磁带,同时手不离笔,适时标注停顿,事后研究每一处停顿的理由---基本上是按照意群停顿的.
有节奏地读,甚至读出以英语为母语的人能读出的味道也不是不能实现的.不妨经常大声朗读,同时录下自己的朗读,之后,先自己听,再请别人听,共同探讨你朗读的亮点与瑕疵,再与原声相比较,必然有很大的进步.
朗读英语其实同朗读汉语一样,需要抑扬顿挫,需要情感,多看外文电影,多看国际频道的外国人主持的节目,多听听优秀演讲辞或总统演说磁带,会对你有帮助.
