在学会了很多单词的发音之后,大家自然而然要开始读一些句子了,这时, 想象中的自己:抑扬顿挫、娓娓动听、语罢余音袅袅~ 现实中的自己:一个一个单词往外蹦…… 没关系,Keith 老师已经把这个问题安排得明明白白;今天,我们就来学习在句子发音腔调上的一个常用技巧——“升调模式! Develop Your Presentation Skills…with a dog! Are you afraid of public speaking? Well, you are not alone. People are afraid of spiders, the dark, and closed spaces, but the biggest fear of all is public speaking. There are different solutions: you can practice in front of a mirror, you can record yourself speaking, you can even imagine your audience naked. Now, the Kogod School of Business has a new idea - their students practicing in front of dogs. Dogs sit quietly, don’t stare, and listen without judging. In fact, sometimes, they don’t listen at all. But that’s fine, because the important thing is the dogs make you relax. So next time you need to speak in public, practice in front of a dog. (小提示:文章末尾处可找到参考翻译哦) 语音语调就像英语的旋律一样,它让一个句子变得起伏分明、充满韵律感;同时,正确的语音语调对传达语意也有着重要作用。 今天,我们就来学一个非常实用的“升调模式”,那么什么是“升调模式”呢: ✔ 当一个句子里包含多项并列结构的时候,你的语调要在前面每一项中都上扬↗,然后在最后一项时下落↘ 最典型的体现是在我们介绍一个清单的时候,比如说: I’d like a notebook↗, a pencil↗, and a rubber↘. 在这句话中,你的语调要在 notebook, pencil 时上扬,然后在说最后一项 rubber 时下落。 回到新闻故事中,我们看到了这样几句话,同样也遵循了相同的“升调模式”,在前面每一项中都上扬↗,然后在最后一项时下落↘: ✔ People are afraid of spiders↗, the dark↗, and closed spaces↘, ... ✔ Dogs sit quietly↗, don’t stare↗ and listen without judging↘. 大家一定要跟着 Keith 大叔的讲解自己多练习几遍哦~ ![]() ![]() 今日挑战任务 ![]() 最后,Keith 大叔给大家留了个小小的挑战任务,下面这句更长更复杂的 boss 级别并列句也出现在了本课的新闻文本中,试试看能否运用“升调模式”、带着起伏、完整正确地将它读出: "There are different solutions: you can practice in front of a mirror, you can record yourself speaking, you can even imagine your audience naked." —— Keith 大叔 ![]() 欢迎大家来公众号留言,我们期待你的答案!(还不了解 Keith 老师?戳这里了解一下 中文翻译 Translation 让小狗帮助你提升演讲技巧! 你害怕公众演讲么?肯定不是只有你这样。人们会害怕蜘蛛、黑暗、密闭的空间等等,但最让人害怕的还是公众演讲。现在已经有很多种解决这个问题的办法了,你可以对着镜子不断练习,你可以把自己说的话录下来,你甚至可以想象你的观众都没穿衣服。然而,Kogod 商学院现在有了一种新方法:他们让学生们对着小狗去练习演讲。小狗们安安静静地坐在那儿,也不盯着学生们,一点不带批判地听着。当然了,事实上很可能它们根本没在听……但这一点关系都没有,因为更重要的是,小狗们能够让你完全放松下来。所以如果你下次要做公众演讲的时候,别忘了找条小狗帮助你训练! |
