需要注意的发音

说话人用了 5 次缩略和弱读形式，例如 isn't, he'd, they'd。请按听到的简短形式来说。

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

中文母语者容易读错的音：

  • 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚，后面不要加元音: explode /ɪkˈsploʊd/, asteroid /ˈæst(ə)ɹɔɪd/, meteorite /ˈmi.ti.əˌɹaɪt/, thirtieth /ˈθɝti.əθ/, comet /ˈkɒmɪt/
  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: kilometre /kɪˈlɑmɪtəɹ/, fireball /ˈfaɪəɹˌbɔl/, remarkably /ɹɪˈmɑɹkəbli/, telegraph /ˈtɛl.ɪ.ɡɹɑːf/, deliberately /dɪˈlɪb.(ə.)ɹət.li/
  • /æ/ — 嘴张大，不要读成 /e/: asteroid /ˈæst(ə)ɹɔɪd/, flatten /ˈflæ.tən/, spacecraft /ˈspeɪsˌkɹæft/, scan /skæn/

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 explode, kilometre, crater 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。
