突破“哑巴英语”讲一口流利的英语

发布时间:2021-12-09


怎样突破哑巴英语?大家不妨一起想想这个概念:“哑巴”既是哑口无言,没有声响。它的反义词呢?――“说话”。所以我们首先要做的就是开口讲话。可是,讲什么,怎么讲?这也是口语初学者的巨大困扰。

首先我们分析一下大家不能脱口而出的原因所在。第一,发音不标准,怕被别人笑话;第二,单词不会,怕说不明白或别人听不明白;第三;语法不行,怕别人不屑一听。正是这样“三怕”的心理,削减了我们开口的动力;也正是这样的“怕怕怕”,拉开了我们与脱口而出,说一口流利英文的距离。所以,为突破哑巴英语,我们要做到“三不怕”。

第一,不怕发音不标准。我们不是一出生就有全英文的语言环境,若是能自然习得标准的英式或美式发音,那便是天方夜谭。然而我们已谙熟于中文的发音和使用,怎能轻易就改变了口腔的运动方式发出纯正的英音或美音呢?因为中文和英文的发音位置和方法存在诸多的差异。不妨看看老外学的中文。一次我问一个外教朋友:“中国给你的第一印象是什么?”她用蹩脚的中文说道:“中国人(run)非常友好(how)。”他们会把“人”和“好”分别读成类似的英文发音“run”和“how”,原因是他们的口腔运动造成了美式的中文发音,而要讲出标准的中文,是需要方法加练习加坚持的。试问大家,当老外讲出这么蹩脚的中文的时候,你有笑话她发音不标准吗? 没有。原因是,我们第一时间是在获取她讲话的内容,如果听得懂,那么她的语音是正确的,但是不标准,是不会有大的误差的;但是如果内容你根本听不懂,那么一定是她的语音不正确,就更不标准了。中国人学英文同理可证。所以我们要把正确的英文讲出来,让外国人获取我们语言的内容,在有精力和虚心的同时,将语音练得标准。

第二,不怕单词不会。其实这一点大家尽可不必担心。一个美国的农民,可以自如地应对每天的日常交流,他的词汇量――800个就够了。而我们每个人的词汇量都远远超出了应对日常交流的水平,只要你将现有的知识激活,讲出来,这些就变成了你收获,也便找回了学习英语的自信。但是大家学习英文的理想就是成为美国的农民吗?当然不是,所以,为了成为一个well-cultured 人才,我们要不断地扩充自己的单词量,以应对各种场合和各类事物。背单词是个漫长而又循序渐进的过程,每一个热爱英语的人都应人手必备一个单词本,8毛钱厚度的即可,方便携带、记忆,且很快记满,容易看到自己的成就。左面英文,右面汉字。这样就可以自己测试自己了,总是盖上一面说出另一面。每天都标上日期,以示自己的心路历程。无论你是在电影中学到的,还是读书笔记,还是在逛街时看到的,统统计入当天的栏目,晚上入睡前看一遍,早上起来再看一遍,因为这两个时间段的记忆力最好。这样日积月累的坚持下来,你无需措手不及的背诵四六级词汇书,就可以应对考试中的生词了。量的积累带来了质的飞跃。

第三,不怕语法不行。口语中涉及到的语法都极为简单,所以这一点非常不足以成为你不开口讲英文的理由。老外朋友经常给我发短信,邀我6:30的时候到她家见面,还担心太晚。于是乎,她的短信过来了:“How about we meet at my house at 6:30? Is that too late for you?”你会惊异地发现,看过老外的版本和你的几乎不差几个字。对的,不要怕语法好与不好,先讲出来,让对方了解你讲话的内容。老外去食堂吃饭时讲的中文就更离谱了,两个字搞定一顿饭:“这个。”(同时伸出两个v字型的手指――二两的意思),一饭一菜。她的“外语”连语法都谈不上,但谁又能说这样不行?所以在大家首先要做的,就是大胆的讲出来,没有对错,没有行与不行,只有“我”才行。

讲一口流利的英文,成功近在咫尺。你今天开口了吗?
