需要注意的發音

說話人用了 5 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 isn't, he'd, they'd。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。

  • “th” 音: thirtieth /ˈθɝti.əθ/, hypothetical /ˌhaɪpəˈθɛtɪkəl/
  • 長單詞——注意重音位置: kilometre /kɪˈlɑmɪtəɹ/, meteorite /ˈmi.ti.əˌɹaɪt/, hypothetical /ˌhaɪpəˈθɛtɪkəl/, remarkably /ɹɪˈmɑɹkəbli/, deliberately /dɪˈlɪb.(ə.)ɹət.li/

中文母語者容易讀錯的音：

  • 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: explode /ɪkˈsploʊd/, asteroid /ˈæst(ə)ɹɔɪd/, meteorite /ˈmi.ti.əˌɹaɪt/, thirtieth /ˈθɝti.əθ/, comet /ˈkɒmɪt/
  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: kilometre /kɪˈlɑmɪtəɹ/, fireball /ˈfaɪəɹˌbɔl/, remarkably /ɹɪˈmɑɹkəbli/, telegraph /ˈtɛl.ɪ.ɡɹɑːf/, deliberately /dɪˈlɪb.(ə.)ɹət.li/
  • /æ/ — 嘴張大，不要讀成 /e/: asteroid /ˈæst(ə)ɹɔɪd/, flatten /ˈflæ.tən/, spacecraft /ˈspeɪsˌkɹæft/, scan /skæn/

如何用這段影片練習

  1. 先完整聽一遍影片，不要開口，記下不認識的單詞。
  2. 用正常速度逐句跟讀，每句重複到你的節奏與說話人一致為止。
  3. 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 explode, kilometre, crater 這類單詞。

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
