中国人的英语口音单音篇.doc

Wang Fei: 大家好，欢迎收听 Question and Answer of the Week《你问我答》节目。我是王飞。今天我们要回答一个很多中国听众都很关心的问题：中国人的英语口音。Now lets hear the question from Clare. ? InsertChinese learners of English are more likely to speak English with a Chinese accent. Iwould like to find out what these specific syllables are, and what I should payattention to when speaking? ? Wang Fei: Clare 想知道我们中国人说英语的时候那些音容易出错呢? 中国的英语学习者应该 在口语的哪些方面下功夫呢？In order to answer this question, Ive invited a colleague who has lived and worked in China. Now lets welcome Alice. Alice: Hi everyone. My names Alice Castle. I work for BBC Learning English but I lived and worked in China on and off for about two years. 我爱中国。I love China! Wang Fei: I love China too. Alice 在中国前前后后生活了两年。所以非常了解我们今天的话题。So Alice, which sound do you think is most difficult for Chinese learners to pronounce? Alice: Well, Ive noticed that some people have problems with the sounds /?/ and /?/, as in three and they. Wang Fei: Hmm, so how do they usually pronounce them then? ? Alice: Three becomes sree and they becomes zay. ? Wang Fei: Alice, the thing is that if a learner reads them incorrectly, he or shemight not be able to hear the difference either. So whats the key topronounce them well? ? Alice: Well, try this exercise. You have to try to put the tip of your tonguebetween your teeth. So theres /?/ and /?/. I think the second one is harder. ? Wang Fei: Yes! 发/?/ and /?/ 的时候，要把舌尖放在上下牙齿之间，很多中国人发不好这两个音，是因为他们没有把舌尖放在上下牙齿之间。 ? Alice: These three brothers threw their things. ? Wang Fei: These three brothers threw their things. ? Alice: So, there are other sounds that some Chinese people find difficult topronounce. Lets hear from Liz Chiu. Shes an English tutor at the Humanities Department of Imperial College in London.
