1,本题发音难点单词解析和练习:

 

红色:单词的重音位置(请根据红色标注来练习单词发音重音)

 

Yellow is considered as the most optimistic color. Yet surprisingly, people lose their tempers more often in yellow rooms and babies cry more in them. The reason may be that yellow is the hardest color for eyes to take in. So it can be overpowering if overused.

 

请根据音标朗读以下为易错单词:



 

considered          /kənˈsɪdərd/  

optimistic           /ˌɑːptɪˈmɪstɪk/      


surprisingly        /sərˈpraɪzɪŋli/

reason                /ˈriːz(ə)n/ 

overpowering      /ˌoʊvərˈpaʊərɪŋ/

羽老师提示:英文为重音节语言(stress-timed language),单词的重音音节要读的响亮、清晰、延长,而轻音音节要读的更轻更短。

 

2,本题流利度提示:

 

蓝色:需要连读

黄色:需要爆破

红色:标点和意群分割

 

Yellow is considered as the most optimistic color. // Yet surprisingly, // people lose their tempers more often / in yellow rooms / and babies cry more in them. // The reason may be that / yellow is the hardest color / for eyes to take in. // So it can be overpowering if overused.

 

羽老师提示:请仔细、反复听原音示范,来熟悉native speaker的连读,爆破和重弱读技巧,以及意群分割的停顿感觉。

 

3,重弱读技巧练习:

 

灰色:需要弱读的虚词

 

Yellow | is considered | as the most  | optimistic | color. | Yet surprisingly,  | people lose | their tempers  | more often  | in yellow  | rooms | and babies | cry more | in them. |The reason | may be that  | yellow  | is the hardest | color  | for eyes |to take in |. So | it can be overpowering  | if overused.

 

羽老师提示:请重复阅读每个区域内的实词和虚词,强调虚词和实词的重弱对比。其中介词"for, to, from"中的o要读成“ə”的音来表现弱化,“that”和“as”也要发成/ðət/和/əz/。
