  • “th” 音: algorithm /ˈælɡəɹɪðm̩/, trustworthy /ˈtɹʌst.wɜː.ði/, thrive /θɹajv/
  • “sh” 和 “zh” 音: automation /ˌɔ.təˈmeɪ.ʃən/, experimentation /ɪkˌspɛɹ.ə.mənˈteɪ.ʃən/, telecommunication /ˌtɛləkəˌmjunɪˈkeɪʃən/, occupational /ɑkjuˈpeɪʃənəl/, leisure /ˈlɛʒə(ɹ)/

中文母语者容易读错的音:

  • /v/ — 不要读成 /w/,上齿轻触下唇: disruptive /dɪsˈɹʌptɪv/, envisage /ɛnˈvɪzɪd͡ʒ/, novice /ˈnɑvɪs/, advent /ˈæd.vɛnt/, thrive /θɹajv/
  • 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚,后面不要加元音: robotics /ɹoʊˈbɑ.tɪks/, workforce /ˈwɝk.foɹs/, apocalyptic /əˈpɒ.kə.lɪp.tɪk/, astound /əˈstaʊnd/, disembodied /dɪsɪmˈbɒdiːd/
  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: algorithm /ˈælɡəɹɪðm̩/, peripheral /pəˈɹɪf(ə)ɹ(ə)l/, leisure /ˈlɛʒə(ɹ)/

如何用这段视频练习

  1. 先完整听一遍视频,不要开口,记下不认识的单词。
  2. 用正常速度逐句跟读,每句重复到你的节奏与说话人一致为止。
  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比,特别注意 algorithm, robotics, automation 这类单词。

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
