Ⅲ 英语发音技巧
A: 重音(Accent)
英文的单字若是有两个以上的音节组成,发音时就会产生强弱的现象,这种现象称为“重音”(Accent)。在此,所谓的“音节”(Syllable)指的又是什么呢?要言之,即“可以一口气发音者”,比如boy, man等就是一个音节。必须吐两口气的单词如paper, people等,就称为两个音节的单词;必须吐三口气的,如potato, difficult等,就称为三个音节的单词。换言之,可说一个母音造成一个音节。
至于两个音节以上的单词为何会产生发音强弱的现象?原因不外乎以下几点:
1. 与其他类似发音的词语产生区别。
2. 使发音容易进行。
3. 强调意义上重要的部分。
由于讲英语时,重音是非常重要的,平常若有不懂的地方,必须养成查字典搞清楚的习惯。特别是也有因重音的位置使词义产生变化的情况,请留心注意。
 record [???????] (记录)动词 重音在后
 record[???????] (唱片)名词 重音在前
 desert [??????] (沙漠)名词  重音在前
 desert [???????] (抛弃)动词  重音在后

•重音位置落在某个音节上时,在这个音节前加上“’”的符号加以区别。

B: 句子的重读(Sentence Stress)
正如英语单词存在发音强弱的现象,一个英语句子里,也有某一个单词特别发音的现象,这就称为句子的重读。这随句子的类型而有不同,但也会因说话人的主观意识,或者视个别情况而起变化,没有固定的规律可循。下面提供一些典型例子供参考,希望对读者在讲英语时有所帮助。(斜体的地方重读)
1.Did Mr. Wang give her a book?
王先生给了她一本书吗?
No, but Mr. Li did.
没给,不过李先生给了。
2. id Mr. Wang give her a book?
     王先生给了她一本书吗?
No, but he lent it to her.
没给,不过他把书借给她了。
3.Did Mr. Wang give her a book?
王先生给了她一本书吗?
No, but he gave her a pencil.
没给,不过他给了她一支铅笔。
4.Did Mr. Wang give her a book yesterday?
王先生昨天给了她一本书吗?
No, but he did last week.
   不,他是上周给的。 
5.Are you a student? (疑问句句首)
你是位学生吗?
6.Who did it? (疑问句句首)
这是谁做的?

C: 语调(Intonation)
   什么是语调?语调有何作用?
 语调是指语音的“旋律”,也就是声调高低的变化。这在一定程度上是由重音控制的,因为在声调高低的比较中,重要的变化只出现在重读音节上。
大体上,说英语时有两种语调,一种是上升调“Rising tone”,一种是下降调“Falling tone”。上升调随着句子的终了往上扬,下降调则往下降,分别以[↑]、[↓]的记号作出标志。一般来讲,降调用于肯定的句子,命令以及带有疑问词的问句,具有一种完整和结论性的口气。升调用于其他各种问句,一切表示怀疑的语句,特别是表示保留意义的句子,具有一种非完整性的口气。
1. 可用Yes和No回答的疑问句采用升调。
Are you ready? ↑
准备好了吗?
2. 重复别人的话时采用升调。
A: This is a pen. ↓
这是一支钢笔。
B: Pen. ↑
 钢笔。
3. 请人从二者中选择其一时,前者用升调,后者用降调。
Are you Chinese↑or Japanese↓?
你是中国人还是日本人?
4. 视升调或降调而带有不同意味的句子。
(a) I beg your pardon. ↓
对不起。
(b) I beg your pardon. ↑
请再讲一遍。
5. 无法用Yes, No来回答的问句用降调。
What’s your name? ↓
你叫什么名字?
6. 一般的句子采用降调。
I went to the zoo yesterday. ↓
我昨天去了动物园。
7. 命令句采用降调。
Take me to the station. ↓
带我到车站去。
8. 感叹句采用降调。
How wonderful this gift is! ↓
这件礼物真棒!
9. 附加问句采用降调。
She is a popular singer, isn’ t she? ↑
她是位很受欢迎的歌手,不是吗?
10. 谈到数种事物时,前面的用升调,最后一种用降调。
    I like apple ↑, orange ↑and melon.↓
    我喜欢苹果、桔子和香瓜。

【小结】
在英语口语的学习中,无论是单词发音、语调和节奏,还是表达习惯,都需要经过长期的积累和练习,才能培养出说地道英语的语感。枯燥的理论是很难帮助您在短期内说出一口流利的英语。但掌握基本的常识和经过有针对性的练习是可以得到实用性的提高,让即使没有多少英语基础的您也能一展身手。
英语口语主要分为英国英语和美国英语,它们的发音有许多不同的地方。现在,美国英语是最流行的一种,因此本书以美音录音。有关更多的美音发音内容,请阅读相关的语音训练书籍。本书所介绍的发音技巧适用于任何一种口音,也是最基本、最必要的发音技巧。
请根据本章讲述的要点,仔细听下面章节的录音,体会重读和语调的特点,并尽量模仿。

第二章 会话基本词汇
我们下面学习一下英文会话必须的一些基本词汇。英美国家的儿童并没有学国际音标之前就能说一口纯正的英语了,同样,我们中国人小时候学会说话也是在学习汉语拼音之前,因此模仿声音是学会纯正语音的关键所在。请大家尽量模仿录音,掌握下面常用单词的读音。

第三章 简单句型介绍
在日常口语中复杂句并不多见。日常会话大都是由最简单的句子组成,因为他们最容易发音,也最容易被人理解。初学口语,切忌妄想说出多么动人的句子,请记住,口语的目的是让别人听清你所表达的意思,而不是迷惑别人,因此只要掌握最基本的句型就足够应付一般的会话。
Ⅰ 英语句型的成分
英语句型的成分一般可分成以下七种:
成分 作用 与词关系
主语 句子的陈述对象 由名词性的词组担任
谓语 表示主语的动作或状态 由动词担任
宾语 表示及物动词或介词所涉及的对象 由名词性的词组担任
定语 修饰名词性词组 由形容词、介词词组、分词、从句等担任
状语 修饰动词、形容词、副词等 由副词、介词词组、分词、从句等担任
补语 一般放在宾语、主语后面说明宾语、主语情况 由名词、形容词、介词词组、分词等担任
表语 说明主语情况 由名词、形容词、介词词组、分词等担任

下面以一些例句来说明:
1. 主语
Tom worked day and night.
汤姆日夜工作。
Writing poetry is not an easy job.
写诗可不是一件轻松的活儿。

Ⅱ 英语句型的种类
一、从结构上看,英语句型可分成以下三大类:
句子种类 形式构成 例句
简单句 由一个独立的主谓结构构成 I will accept your invitation.
我将接受你的邀请。
并列句 由两个或两个以上的简单句构成,由连词连接 This book is very interesting, but that one is not.
这本书很有趣,那本就不怎么样了。
复合句 一个独立的句子里含有一个或一个以上的非独立句,由从属连词连接 I will accept the invitation you sent me the other day.
我将接受你那天寄给我的邀请。
复合句是主从复合句的简称,即包括主句和从句。任何从句都要与主句搭配,才能表达完整的意思。从句有三种:①名词性从句(主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句);②形容词性从句(定语从句);③副词性从句(状语从句)。下面举例说明:
①名词性从句
a. 主语从句

他同意我们的建议令人吃惊。
Where he lives is quite unknown to us.
他居住在哪里我们是很不了解的。
b. 表语从句

当春天到来时,天气渐渐暖和起来。
I remember it as if it happened yesterday.
我记得这件事仿佛它就发生在昨天。


二、从功能上看,英语句型可分为以下四类:
句子种类 形式构成 例句
陈述句 主语+谓语 I’ll send you the book.
我会把这本书寄给你的。
疑问句 助动词+主语+谓语 Will you send me the book?
你会把这本书寄给我吗?
祈使句 动词+宾语或其它成分 Send me the book, please.

感叹句的一些常用例句:

那样对待你真是太不公平了!

Ⅲ 英语的时态
英语动词的时态由两方面组成:一、时间;二、说话者的角度。也就是说,在选用时态时,必须考虑两点:一、某行为与现实时间的关系;二、你是从什么角度描述这个动作的。例如,你想用英语说:“他做作业”这句话,首先得考虑这个动作是否做了,如果做了,就用过去时;如果在做,就用现在时;如果将去做,就用将来时。然后再考虑从什么角度说这件事,如果想说明这个动作正在进行,则用进行体;如果已完成,则用完成体。
英语时态可分为十六种:
 时
体  现在时 过去时 将来时 过去将来时
一般体 He does the homework. He did the homework. He will do the homework. He would do the homework.
进行体 He is doing the homework. He was doing the homework. He will be doing the homework. He would be doing the homework.
完成体 He has done the homework. He had done the homework. He will have done the homework. He would have done the homework.
完成进行体 He has been doing the homework. He had been doing the homework. He will have been doing the homework. He would have been doing the homework.

我们在下面简单介绍常用的八种:一般现在时,一般过去时,一般将来时,现在进行时,过去进行时,现在完成时,过去完成时,现在完成进行时。
1. 一般现在时
一般现在时主要用来表示现在发生,存在或经常发生,存在的动作与状态。一般现在时的形式基本与动词原形同形,但它在使用过程中受到主语的制约。当主语是第三人称单数时,动词后面必须加s或es。例如:
We like this beautiful place.
我们喜欢这个美丽的地方。
Tom likes this place.
汤姆喜欢这个地方。

2. 一般过去时
一般过去时主要对任何过去发生的事情作一般性的描述。一般过去时的形式是动词的过去式。规则动词的过去式为“动词原形+ed”,不规则动词则没有可循的规律,需要查表。例如:
He wanted to take over the job.
他想接管这项工作。
The manager flew to Canada this morning.
经理今天上午飞往加拿大。

3. 一般将来时
一般将来时通常用于表示将来发生或即将发生的事情和行为。一般将来时的主要表达形式是助动词shall或will +动词原形。例如:
We shall have a meeting tomorrow.
我们明天开会。
He will help you with the work.
他会帮你做这工作的。

4. 现在进行时
现在进行时表示两层含义:一、事情发生在现在;二、事情还没结束,正在进行。现在进行时由动词be的现在式+现在分词构成。例如:
Tom is talking with his friend.
汤姆正和他朋友谈话。
I am preparing a report at the moment.
我正在准备一份报告。

5. 过去进行时
过去进行时也表示两层含义:一、事情发生在过去;二、事情在过去的某一时间里正在进行。过去进行时的形式由动词be的过去式+现在分词构成。例如:
Tom was reading when his mother called him.
母亲叫他时,汤姆正在看书。
At ten last night I was reviewing my lesson in the classroom.
昨晚十点我在教室里复习功课。

6. 现在完成时
现在完成时用来表示过去发生的动作,这个动作或其影响延续到现在。现在完成时的形式由动词have +过去分词组成。例如:
He has lived in Beijing since 1998.
他从1998年起就住在北京了。
I have read the novel.
我看过这部小说。

7. 过去完成时
过去完成时很少单独使用。它一般涉及两件过去发生的事(A与B),一件事(B)发生在另一件事(A)之前。先发生的事用过去完成时。过去完成时的形式由动词have的过去式+过去分词。例如:
When I arrived the man had already left the room.
我到时那人已经走了。
My father told me he had worked in that company before.
我父亲告诉我他曾在那家公司工作过。

8. 现在完成进行时
现在完成进行时表示从过去开始并延续到现在的动作。它可以表示已经结束或可能还要持续下去的动作。与现在完成时的主要区别在于它强调过程。现在完成进行时的形式由have been +现在分词构成。例如:
I have been hoping to have a car for years.
多年来我一直想有一辆车。
A: You are all wet.
   你浑身都湿了。
B: I have been running in the rain.
  我刚才在雨中跑步。

Ⅳ 被动语态
语态指动词和主语的关系。英语有两种语态:主动语态和被动语态。所谓主动语态指的是动作的实施者充当句子的主语。所谓被动语态,指的是动作的承受者,也就是主动语态里的宾语充当句子的主语。
因此我们可以说,构成被动语态的先决条件就是谓语动词必须带宾语,也就是说,只有及物动词才能用来构成被动语态;不及物动词由于没有宾语,无法构成被动语态。
被动语态的时态也与主动语态类似。从理论上说,主动语态里有多少时态,被动语态就有多少时态。实际常用的时态也跟上节所述相同。
被动语态的基本形式如下:
 be +过去分词 (+ by +实施者)
例如:
The boy broke the window. (主动语态)
= The window was broken by the boy. (被动语态)
这孩子打破了玻璃窗。

下面是被动语态的一些例句:
The stove was left in our yard without a delivery note.
炉子就这么放在我们的院子里,连一张送货条都没有。
The article was prompted by a number of letters in the newspaper.
这篇文章是受报纸里几封信的启发。
The entire river is polluted.
整条河都给污染了。
My new bicycle has been stolen again.
我新的自行车又被盗了。
Tom was forced to withdraw from the competition.
汤姆被迫退出比赛。
The matter will be looked into and dealt with as soon as possible.
这件事将会被尽快调查并作出处理的。
Arrangements have not been made yet.
还没安排好呢。
The ship was suspected to be carrying the forbidden cargoes.
这艘船被怀疑装有违禁品。
Has the dog been fed?
喂狗了吗?

Ⅴ 虚拟语气
语气主要反映说话者对他所说的事件的态度。在英语中有三种语气:陈述语气,祈使语气,和虚拟语气。前两种语气在上文已有提到,这里简单复习一下虚拟语气。虚拟语气指说话人所说的话不是事实,而是一种愿望、假设、怀疑、建议、猜测、可能或纯粹的空想等。
虚拟语气所叙事情发生的时间观念有三种情况:①表示与现在事实相反;②表示与过去事实相反;③表示与将来事实相反。
虚拟语气用于条件从句中时,①若表示与现在事实相反,则谓语动词表现形式为:
从句:动词过去式(be一律用were)
主句:would或should(用于第一人称)+动词原形。例句:
If I were a bird, I would fly in the sky.
假如我是鸟儿,我会在天空翱翔。
②若表示与过去事实相反,则谓语动词表现形式为:
从句:had+过去分词
主句:would或should(用于第一人称)+ have +过去分词。例句:
If I had been here last night, I would have discussed the question with you.
如果昨晚我在这儿,我本来会和你们一起讨论这个问题的。
③若表示与将来事实相反或不肯定时,则谓语动词表现形式为:
从句:动词过去式,或were to +动词原形,或should(用于各种人称)+动词原形
主句:would或should(用于第一人称)+动词原形。例句:
If it were Sunday tomorrow, I should go to see my friends here.
明天要是星期天,我会去看望在这里的朋友。
If it rained tonight, the crops would be saved.
= If it should rain tonight, the crops would be saved.
= If it were to rain tonight, the crops would be saved.
假如今晚下雨,庄稼就得救了。
虚拟语气的其它用法这里就不详述了,有兴趣的读者可以查看有关的语法书。

第四章 功能会话
Unit 1 Introduction介绍
【Brief Introduction 简介】
我们常常在各种场合遇到不认识的人。如果我们想和人交朋友或者仅仅表示礼貌时,就可能需要自我介绍。一般对方也会对你自我介绍。我们还可能通过中间人介绍认识。当介绍双方认识时,通常先将男性介绍给女性,将下级介绍给上级,将年轻人介绍给长辈。
英文姓名是姓在后,名在前。在自我介绍时,为表示郑重可说出全名,非正式的情况下只说名就可以了。在执行公务时,可在介绍自己时将职位或职务名称加在姓之前。当介绍一方给另一方认识时,介绍语中要有姓名,头衔,及其与自己的关系。

Unit 2 Greetings问候
【Brief Introduction 简介】
无论在东方还是西方,朋友或熟人之间在相遇时互相打招呼和问候都是很正常的。但东西方习俗还是有一些的差异。例如,中国人之间问候时说“你吃过了没有?(Have you eaten yet?)”是很正常的,但如果西方人听到这样的话,他会以为你要请他吃饭。类似的话还有“你要去哪里呀?(Where are you going?)”等等,如果西方人对中国文化了解不多,他会认为你侵犯了他的隐私。
很多西方人除非在非常正式的场合,一般都非正式地互相问候。即使他们之间并非很熟,也常常直呼对方的名(first name)。然而,尽管西方人喜欢被非正式地对待,但在与不同国家的人初次见面时还是需要正式一点。

Unit 3 Invitation 邀请
【Brief Introduction 简介】
在日常生活中,邀请别人和应邀都是很常遇到的事。如果想邀别人出去,首先一定要问对方有没有空,例如要问“你今晚有空吗?”,就说“Are you free tonight?”。如果要问人有没有空做某事,例如要问“你有没有空打网球?”,就说“Do you have time to play tennis?”。注意time前面不可加冠词,如果说“Do you have the time?”,意思就成了“现在几点钟?”,和“What time is it?”相同了。

Unit 6 Talking About the Weather谈天气
【Brief Introduction 简介】
对初次和英美人士接触的中国人来说最保险的话题莫过于谈天气了。西方人常说:“Mentioning weather can be a useful and inoffensive way of starting a conversation.”(谈论天气是一种既有用又不得罪人的打开话题方式。)在英美国家,天气是人们日常谈话的重要内容,尤其是英国人,他们特别喜欢谈论天气。
在谈论天气时,人们往往不仅说说天气的状况,而且在讲话时注入个人的感情和评论。因此,谈论天气有很多好处。其一,可以活跃气氛(warm up atmosphere)和打破冷场的局面。其二,可以突出异议(challenging),从而使谈话气氛活跃起来。第三个好处就是由此引出进一步交谈的话题。通常情况下,你如果想请朋友外出野餐、郊游等,可以先谈及天气而使你的建议顺理成章。

【Brief Introduction 简介】
商店购物在任何社会都是一种生活需要,也是一种有趣的消遣,了解一些英美国家商店的基本情况,对学习英语的人来说很有必要。在商业十分发达的英美国家,商店种类之多,使任何初来乍到的人惊讶不已。其中大的叫做department store (百货商场),主要出售衣物、家具、家庭用品等等,极小的只售一种货物,还有叫 discount shops(折价商店)和廉价品的dime stores(一角钱商店)。大商场的商品质量优良,品种应有尽有,还为顾客提供尽可能多的方便,如顾客购买贵重商品时,付款可以作特别的安排。一般的商店都会为顾客提供纸袋或塑料袋。相对而言,超级商场既省时又经济。大百货商场都是明码标价,不能讲价钱(bargain)。
商店为了做生意,售货员一般都是很礼貌的接待顾客,服务非常周到。作为顾客也应当对售货员以礼相待。

 Unit 17 At the Bank在银行
【Brief Introduction 简介】
在英美国家,银行业非常发达。其数量之多,效率之高,服务范围之广,无不给人留下深刻印象。现今由于电脑已运用于银行业务,使得国内外各地银行分行或办事处的电脑信息互通,储户可以在国内各地同一银行支行办理各项银行业务手续。以下是几条办理银行业务的手续、过程、注意事项:
首先,英美国家的银行比我们国家的银行营业时间要短得多。英美的银行一般在上午9点半才开门营业,下午4点左右就关门,并且周末也不营业。
英美银行储蓄业务范围广泛,种类多,主要有(支票)活期款帐户(checking account)、储蓄帐户(saving account)旅行支票(traveler’s account)、或银行本票(casher’s order)和信用卡(credit card)等等;此外,大多数银行还办理保险箱业务。
在我国,人们办理开户手续时可以留印章或密码,而在英美国家的银行,人们通常是留亲笔签名(signature)。储户的亲笔签名将成为今后核对的重要依据。

Unit 18 At the Barber’s shop 在理发店
【Brief Introduction 简介】
在中国,男女理发店一般不分开,而在国外是分开的,男理发店叫Barber’s shop,女理发店则叫Hairdress’s shop,也叫Beauty Slaoon。但是在美国,如果不是十分必要的,人们不经常光顾理发店,一是因为价格昂贵。在美国,凡是涉及到以人工记价的工作总是机器工作的收费要高很多。二是也不够方便,一般都要等候很多才能轮到,甚至是要提前预约。所以,一般男子都自备推剪互相理发。而女人都自备吹风机自己做头发。

Unit 19 At the Post Office在邮局
【Brief Introduction 简介】
在商品经济高度发达的英美国家,邮局是国家控制的少数几个经济领域之一。和我们国家一样,英美国家邮局业务范围主要包括寄送邮件、投递包裹、发送电报、出售邮票和信封等等,但服务的方式有所不同,项目划分也不一样。
首先,从时间上看,国外没有午休时间,所有的办公时间内都营业,但周末(星期六、日)邮局是不营业的。再者,国外的信箱与我们国家的信箱也不一样。一般可分为三类:第一类,上面标有local mail的信箱,用于投递交往本地的邮件;第二类,上面标有out of town mail的信箱,用于发往国内但非本地的邮件;第三类,标有international mail的信箱,用于发送国际邮件。因此,在投寄邮件时就要根据所投寄的目的地选择信箱。
在英美国家,人们经常变动住址,在改变地址时他们就会告知邮局,请邮局把信件转送到新地址。
美国的邮局还有一项与其业务无关的工作,就是让居住在美国的外国人填一份“外国人登记卡”(Alien Registration Card。按照美国的法律,居住在美国的外国人每年1月要向邮局拿一份这样的表格,填写后寄往移民局(Immigration Office),让移民局知道你的最新地址。如果不按规定填好寄去,就算违法,严重的可能会被驱逐出境。

Unit 20 In the hospital 在医院
【Brief Introduction 简介】
在英美国家,医疗费十分昂贵。对初到异国,收入有限的中国人来说,一笔普通的医疗费,很可能成为沉重的经济负担。即使一般当地人对此也望而生畏。因此,中国人到国外要注意两件事。一是注意劳逸结合,科学保健,尽量不生病或少生病。二是参加健康保险。
在英美国家,看病一般都要预约。如果预约的是私人诊所到预约时间就可以看病;如果是大医院,到了预约时间也还是要挂号等候。
最后要注意的是看病时,只要向医生叙述病情及回答医生的问题即可,不可以先给自己的病下结论,如说 I have a cold 等;也不能自己点药,这样医生会认为你不尊重他。

Unit 21 In the Restaurant在餐厅
【Brief Introduction 简介】
西方有句格言:“We eat to live, not live to eat.”在高度的社会竞争压力下,现代欧洲人饮食方式特别讲究,英美人喜欢吃生菜,即使是肉类、鱼类也煮得半生不熟,因为他们都认为半生的食物不会破坏营养价值;英国人喜欢吃各种肉类,每餐都加水果;美国人是甜中带咸的口味。
一般打电话预约大餐馆的餐位,常说:“I’d like to…”或“Can I…”的问句,而对方会问?“When will it be? What size is it?”西食很重视食客个人的爱好。欧美人与中国人的饮食习惯有着很大区别:
1. 一般欧美人士一天三餐,尤其午餐一般在小吃店解决。
2. 在美国,几个人一起上餐馆用餐,应先搞清谁付帐。应当注意的是:一个朋友说请你吃饭,并不等于为你付帐。
3. 在西方,较流行的快餐店有汉堡包店(McDonald’s),比萨饼店(Pizza Hut),热狗店(Hot dog Stands),炸鸡店(Kentucky Fried Chicken),咖啡店(Coffee Shop)等等。

Unit 26 In a Taxi在出租车上
【Brief Introduction 简介】
和世界各国的大城市里一样,中国的大城市的出租车数量也很大,坐车也方便。坐出租车最大的优点就是快捷,只要在路边一站,把手一扬或加一句“Taxi”就行了。旅客上车后,出租车司机可以主动和乘客攀谈,介绍城市的风光,名胜古迹等等。乘客可以很方便的了解到想知道的旅游景点的特点——因为一般的出租车司机对此都比较熟悉。车到达目的地,乘客根据计价器付费。
不过需要注意的是,不是所有的路边都可以让出租车停靠,所以,也要注意在指定的可以叫出租车的地方叫车。
