在這里本人先向各位高手鞠躬。我知道很多英語專業(yè)的高人甚至海歸們都在普特論壇上練聽力。但是看了黃老邪的帖子,又覺得自己有點話要說。如果有不對的地方歡迎大家賜教。初次發(fā)貼,多多包涵。
只是一點感悟。先聲明,本人并不覺得英語專業(yè)學生的英語就一定比非英語專業(yè)的學生好。但是畢竟受過點專業(yè)訓練,所以談談自己的想法。
快大四畢業(yè)了 我說句心里的實在話,一個英語水平公共四級的人,想聽懂美國電臺(估計不談英國電臺)的常速英語,真是很難。得練。
曾經(jīng)有一度,在大二的時候,我很厭煩VOA。覺得內容很無聊,一點實用性都沒有。于是放棄了VOA。平時就聽聽英語專業(yè)的聽力教材。
現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)大四了。等我回過頭來再聽VOA,我發(fā)現(xiàn)并沒有進步多少。這是為什么呢? 我總結了一下,訓練的重點不同,你聽力適應的范圍自然也不同。這個話題被黃老邪和yuzhoucn談了很久了,這也確實是個事實。所以我想根據(jù)學習英語的目的來談談英語聽力的訓練方法。在這點上,我非常同意黃老邪“面向對象”的學習方法。你先要搞清楚你拿英語來干嘛再決定你怎么學。
黃老邪和一些同志們?yōu)榭谧g和同傳的聽力水平問題掙扎了很久。
如果說,有人是想考口譯的。當然,我也在準備口譯的考試。那我想說,聽懂VOA ST真是很需要的事情。每個人對“懂”的把握也不一樣。并不是說他的內容對口譯考試作用有多大,主要是能學到最地道簡潔的正式英語表達,你的耳朵能分辨最標準的發(fā)音。標準的你都分辨不了你怎么分辨印度口音呢?你不可能一開始就找印度人說的英語來天天聽吧?同樣的東西,你在日常生活中和在國際會議中的表達方法,怎么可能是一樣的呢?如果說要看美劇來學這些正式表達,你這純屬靠編劇怎么編劇情。有限的時間內咱們談效率。
我再強調一下,做口譯 聽懂是第一步,關鍵是
大腦和筆記要配合著把重點內容說出來,要言辭恰當,還要內容之間的邏輯聯(lián)系。即使對于英語專業(yè)的學生來說,這也是需要非常大量的訓練才能做到的。你一上去,聽都是個問題,你怎么在幾秒鐘時間內找到發(fā)言人的重點詞匯?做口譯的當然有聽不懂的時候,我們口譯老師告訴我們,你只能憑著你的經(jīng)驗技巧來應付了。我們口譯老師是林超倫的徒弟。林超倫如果各位不大清楚,可以在網(wǎng)上查查。她本身做了很多年口譯和同傳了,也是某院高翻口譯畢業(yè)生。她的話,大家多少可
以信一些。
口譯,就是交傳,臺下很多聽眾是bilingual, 你譯的如何,很多人都是很清楚的。交傳其實是不好做的。同傳的話,聽眾只能聽見耳機里你的聲音,所以這完全是個良心活。但是對于同傳來說,百分之六十是個最低標準。所以同傳和交傳都是相互尊重的。我說一句很符合中國國情的話,在做各位如果有人想做同傳或是口譯,現(xiàn)在又不能出國,那就先把VOA和BBC聽熟了。到底有多熟才行,取決于邊聽邊譯時你的譯文。如果有條件出國,有個很好的英語環(huán)境,不經(jīng)過大量的訓練,也不可能就做口譯。很多人都覺得,海歸做口譯一定不錯。醒醒吧??谧g不僅是英譯中。中譯英呢?在中國做口譯,先得考證。不把中國特色的詞匯和表達方法,以及經(jīng)濟政策詞匯 弄得滾瓜爛熟,還敢考嗎?當然如果是黃老邪這種起點比較高,一來先在國際會議做口譯的人我們就另當別論了。
同樣是口譯。北外的高翻和上外高翻風格就明顯不同。北外服務外交部和國家,上外更注重實際與經(jīng)濟。對于黃老邪的口譯水平我不敢多做猜測,但是我敢肯定絕對不是外交部想要的東西。語言拿來運用,本來就看你怎么用。外交部講究一
個嚴謹,就是要能做到滴水不漏。
對于想要靠口譯吃飯的人,能聽懂VOA和BBC真是太基本了。每天VOA和BBC應該是基礎,除此以外需要大量其他高難度材料的練習。
如果各位并不是想做高翻,只是想鍛煉自己的英語水平,我覺得新聞和電影都是
必要的。
VOA和BBC對于國內學英語的人來講,是個很高的門檻。聽得懂和聽不懂,一定程度上就能說明你的英語水平。要不然專八也犯不著聽力中考VOA和BBC的新聞。當然我從來就不覺得專八能說明什么問題。就像很多人覺得托福和GRE也說明不了什么問題一樣。但是很多人不屑VOA 和 BBC,這就不對了。
真正聽得懂的人,不會不屑。會很尊敬這兩個新聞節(jié)目。因為大家現(xiàn)在天天聽到的中央電視臺對美國經(jīng)濟形勢的短訊,很多就是翻譯VOA和BBC的。我昨天聽新聞30分時,再一次確認了那條短訊基本全翻VOA昨日第一條新聞。大家真沒必要不屑。你看美劇,能聽懂美劇,這很好??墒悄阋?,你只學了英語語言的一小部分而已。你能看懂美劇不代表你能看懂經(jīng)濟學家的經(jīng)濟評論。你能看懂紐約時報的反諷文章并不代表你就有本事把它地道的翻譯成中文。你就算把它地道的翻譯成中文,那你也可以去試試翻翻超現(xiàn)實主義文學。語言學習有止境嗎?大可不必看得懂美劇看得懂國外電視臺就沾沾自喜。當然,肯定是值得表揚的。咱
們不要停滯不前。
所以我覺得黃老邪的方法對于把英語口語和聽力,即日常交往作為第一生產(chǎn)力的同志們是很有用的。因為你對英語的要求并不高。能日常的接觸就可以了,不需要你去表達你對美國次貸危機的看法,以及未來世界經(jīng)濟走向。不如關心關心餐
巾紙怎么說比較現(xiàn)實。
但是如果和外國友人交往深了(顯然我指的是討論一定問題深度的問題。比如說討論銀行基準率的下調影響是否會世界各國公司的財政決策,或者說對于北京奧運會安全問題的看法),美劇能解決問題嗎?美劇能告訴你今天世界貨幣組織又出臺了什么新政策嗎?你能知道基準率用英語怎么說嗎?同傳之所以下功夫是因為他不能落后于時代。BBC和VOA的新聞都不琢磨透徹,身處國際社會風口浪
尖豈不一個浪頭就翻了船?
對于自己英語運用有較高要求的同志們,堅持聽VOA和BBC是非常好的。起碼你在時效性上你是第一位的。聽力終究只是英語學習中的一個方向而已。閱讀,口語,寫作都不能拉后腿。我哥哥的口語挺不錯。曾經(jīng)拿下CCTV希望英語某賽區(qū)的亞軍。他的英語學習方法就是看電影學英語。但問題是他就只僅限于口語不錯。到了找工作的時候,口語并不能幫他解決工作問題。用他的話說,論翻譯和寫作,他并不能很好的勝任。這就是跟大家猛練聽力是一個道理。你想聽懂VOA和BBC,對你的詞匯量和閱讀量都是一個挑戰(zhàn)。因為不經(jīng)過大量閱讀,對英語中句子特別是長句,復雜從句的理解是有很大問題的。至于寫,那就更看得出水平了。在這里就不詳細闡述。
我個人認為。對于自己英語運用有較高要求的同志們,特別是在國內的同志們(因為你沒有機會去親身感受國際上最新的咨詢和思想)
在BBC和VOA的基礎上,每天堅持閱讀Economist 和 聯(lián)合國網(wǎng)站,以及Newsweek 等有廣泛影響的文章是必需的。在這個基礎上,再有其他時間,可以
來看美劇練聽力,認識美國文化。
最后說一點,我始終覺得任何科目的學習都必須是謹慎但是需持開放型態(tài)度。選美劇,你也必須知道該選什么美劇。就像很多人聽rap就模仿黑人說話。這真
是讓人哭笑不得。
電視劇來源于生活但是畢竟和生活是不同的。我相信各位如果不是英語專業(yè)這么苦苦訓練聽力一定是有積極向上的心態(tài)。所以我奉勸大家多看說正常英語的電視
劇和電影。
我記得我看《速度與激情的3》的時候,我看了5分鐘就放棄了。不是說他不好看。是因為我實在是不能忍受滿篇長達2個小時的美國下層社會的口音。不是說我歧視美國下層人民。我們在這里必須明確一個問題。你長期看這種電視劇或電影,你的口音,你的用詞會被它影響。而很多不熟悉英美文化的人盲目的去學一些所謂的俚語,黑話并不分場合地點的說出。對于一個有教養(yǎng)的美國中產(chǎn)階級來說,S word 就是很不應該說出口的了??上鴥群芏啻蠛们嗄暌豢谝粋€F word。
唉。
本文僅代表個人觀點,歡迎大家批評指導。

第五篇:英語聽力訓練方法
一、聽說訓練中應注意幾個問題
一般英語學習者,在全面提高英語的前提下,要提高聽、說能力,應首先注意以下三點:
1.注意區(qū)分和模仿正確的語音、語調
在英語里有不少讀音相近,但意思卻截然不同的詞匯,象cure(治愈)和 kill(殺死),menu(菜單)和manure(肥料)等。設想如果有一個醫(yī)生想說:“I'll cure you.”(我要治好你的病。)卻因發(fā)音不好,說成:“I'll kill you.”(我要殺死你。)那病人會嚇成什么樣子。又比如,有人對你說:“ I am thirty.My wife is thirty, too.”而你聽到的卻是:“I am dirty.My wife is dirty, too.”你一定會莫名其妙。實際上,所差之處就是一個音素。因此,我們從一開始就要注意區(qū)分和模仿正確的語音,語調。在這個基礎上提高聽、說,才能收到良好效果。
2.創(chuàng)造一定的聽、說環(huán)境
聽、說是一種語言交流,沒有一個外語環(huán)境或一定的聽、說條件,只靠單槍匹馬很難收效。當然,現(xiàn)代科學為我們提供了錄音機這一工具,我們可以把課文,對話和中外成品磁帶錄制下來反復聽和模仿。還可以把自己的口頭作文和復述錄下來,仔細審聽,發(fā)現(xiàn)問題,及時糾正。但是,在自然條件下,聽與說是不能分的。一個人聽的過程實際是另一個人說的過程。如果有條件的話,最好能把自學的伙伴組織起來,定期開展會話活動,或利用社會上,公園中提供的“外語角”等條件,既練了說,又練了聽,在實際的語言環(huán)境中練習,才能取得長足的進步。
3.要有不怕聽錯,說錯,不斷苦練的精神
練習聽、說的學習者,特別是成年人,往往必聽錯、說錯,不敢主支張口練習。然而,語言是一種習慣,沒有反復的操練和實踐難以產(chǎn)生熟練的技巧。會話重在達意,只要達到交流思想的目的,這種聽、說實踐就應該說是基本成功的。出了錯,注意總結經(jīng)驗,自學改正就是了。
二、聽力訓練的四個階段
⑴入門階段:
這個階段適合初學者。在學完字母及一些簡單句型和詞匯后即可開始。一般可以進行三個聽力練習:
1)句型練習:做這項練習時,可以把句型、詞匯及語法三項結合起來。這方面有不少國內外出版的句型練習教科書及錄音帶,如:《英語九百句》(English 900)和《情景對話》(Situational Dialogues),鄧炎昌編的《英語會話五十題》和鄧榮成編譯的《實用英語問答》等。這些課本編排比較科學,由淺入深,循序漸進,照顧到生活常用詞匯和句型,耐用做到了關鍵句型反復出現(xiàn)。配合課本錄制的磁帶質量也很好,幾乎都包括速度較慢的跟讀和重復練習。
2)淺顯易懂的英語小故事:聽小故事也是這一階段聽力訓練的重要步驟。如《羅賓漢的故事》(GRIMM'S TALES),<<伊索寓言>>(AESOP'SFABLES)等。<<新概念英語>>第一二冊等的也可采用。聽故事旨在聽懂大意,鍛煉把前后內容連貫起來的能力,而不在于模仿語音,語調和熟記句型。聽故事還可以擴大詞匯,把學到的英語書面符號同聲音結合起來。
3)中外錄制的教科書課文:中外出版的一些英語教科書如:許國璋主編的《英語》統(tǒng)編教材一到四冊,周珊鳳,張祥保主編的《大學英語》,英國朗曼公司出版的《基礎英語》(ESSENTIAL ENGLISH)及美國麥希爾公司出版的>今日英語>(ENGLISH FOR TODAY)等,內容豐富,課文有相當?shù)拈L度和難度。如果學習時配合聽課文錄音,或先聽后讀或學了之后再聽,都可以達到從聲音入手反復熟悉課文的目的,既學了課文,又練了聽力。最后,在入門階段,盡管掌握的英語不多,還是應該努力把聽和說結合起來,積極利用學過的內容,組織自學伙伴,開展對話。有條件的話,爭取能聽聽中外籍人士用英語介紹生活、學習或英美情況的小報告,即使只能勉強聽懂一部分也應嘗試。
⑵初級階段
這一階段仍屬基礎學習階段。主要任務是擴大、加深和鞏固入門階段所學成果,可以從以下幾方面進行訓練:
1)繼續(xù)聽句型練習和小故事:這一階段要注意通過時間較長,難度較大,語言現(xiàn)象較復雜的聽力材料來繼續(xù)解決語音,詞匯和語法這三方面的問題。如果仍沿用入門階段的句型練習材料,就要加大單位時間聽力材料的數(shù)量,并爭取在回答或重復時提高自己的準確度??傊?,應在材料難度及反應速度方面下功夫。在聽小故事方面可聽《如此故事》(WHATA STORY)一類的成品錄音帶。其特點是在錄制故事時,有意識地安排了好幾個人插話,提問,以中斷某人敘述的方式來進行一些意見交流,這也可算作情景對話,得同簡單的問答式對話大不相同,它更接近真實生活,也更自然。
2)選聽各種報告錄音,擴大聽的內容:為了擴大詞匯,并逐步適應不同口音和年齡的講話,這一階段可選聽一些淺易的英美歷史、地理、風俗人情的報告。英美人士訪華印象的講話也是很好的內容。這些講話一般以半小時左右為宜,既增長知識又提高聽力。
3)開始收聽北京電臺對外廣播:電臺的英語涉及政治、經(jīng)濟、文化等各方面內容,語言比較規(guī)范,播音員語音、語調又是楷模,因此聽英語廣播是學習英語的極好途徑。北京電臺(Radio Beijing)收聽方便,每日內容更新,多數(shù)是有關我國各方面發(fā)展的消息。由于學習者熟悉這些內容,這就降低了聽力難度,所以對聽力剛剛入門的人來說是比較合適的。在這一階段,聽的重點應是北京電臺對外的新聞廣播、國際形勢分析及一些文化評論。聽時要摸索新聞廣播的一般規(guī)律,注意培養(yǎng)聽新聞的一些基本技巧和方法。如果一開始感到困難,可以采取以下兩個輔助辦法,即在聽廣播之前閱讀《北京周報》(BEIJING REVIEW),《中國日報》(CHINA DAILY)或《新華電訊稿》(XIN-HUA NEWS BULLETIN)有關文章。這樣,在內容和詞匯有一定準備的情況下,聽英語廣播就會容易得多。另外,可以把新聞和評論錄制下來,反復精聽,逐句推敲。這也是抽調聽力的一個很好訓練方法。在這一階段,仍應進行聽說配合的訓練,做口頭作文,寫報告等等,并開展力能及的討論。
⑶中級階段
本階段應從機械訓練轉向實踐,從課本進入社會。解決聽外臺的能力作為這一階段的一項主要任務??蛇M行以下訓練。
1)聽美國之音(VOA)慢速廣播(VOA SPECIAL ENGLISH PROGRAM)或英國廣播公司(BBC)英語廣播(BBC ENGLISH BY RADIO):這兩個節(jié)目速度較慢,在詞匯選擇上也有適當控制,因此作為訓練聽外臺的起步練習是很合適的。開始時可根據(jù)自己熟悉的工英國或美國音來選聽BBC或VOA,然后逐步向另一臺過渡。在聽這兩種特殊節(jié)目毫無困難之后,就可轉向正常速度的英美電臺廣播。電臺廣播和報刊雜志的內容是緊密聯(lián)系在一起的。因此,在進行這一訓練的同時,應閱讀一些英文報刊雜志。
2)視聽結合,訓練聽懂電影,戲劇的能力:看外語電影可以納入這一階段的訓練。聽電影,戲劇中的臺詞,實際是相當難的,作為起步,可以先看一些翻譯成英語的國產(chǎn)電影,如《閃閃的紅星》甚至幻燈片《高玉寶》等。然后選看熟悉的影片,如《列寧在一九一八》,《戰(zhàn)爭下和平》等。最后可嘗試聽一些語言規(guī)范,內容健康的原版英美電影,如《冰海沉船》《百萬英磅》《簡。愛》《孤星血淚》《霧都孤兒》《紅菱艷》以及中央電視臺的《星期日英語》(ENGLISH ON SUNDAY)節(jié)目中經(jīng)常播放的一些英美電影對話,不能要求每句話,每個字都聽懂,應以是否正確把握住了故事情節(jié)和重要的細節(jié)為標準。
3)繼續(xù)前兩階段的某些聽力訓練:聽力訓練是長期的,經(jīng)常的任務因此,各人可以根據(jù)自己的薄弱環(huán)節(jié),在向新內容發(fā)展的同時,堅持進行某些前兩階段采用過的聽力練習形式,但難度和詞匯量有所加強,要多聽英美文化和政治經(jīng)濟方面的報告,以及訪華學者就當今大家感興趣和國際問題,青年問題等所作的一小時左右的報告。
(4)高級階段
本階段完成后,英語學習者應達到或者接近英美人的聽力水平,并能應付各種情況。
1)在聽外臺方面,要訓練聽正常速度節(jié)目。要從重點聽新聞,轉向多聽專欄評論和報道。
2)在可能條件下,爭取聽使用英語的學術討論會,語言學,文學,歷史,政治經(jīng)濟等問題的講座和科普報告,并積極參加報告會后的討論活動。
3)如有興趣或需要,可進一步訓練聽戲劇臺詞和詩歌朗誦,如莎士比亞,蕭伯納,奧尼爾等名家的戲劇,或英美詩歌名篇。
4)練習聽懂用英語講授的課程,學習英語是為了掌握一種語言工具,從而更好地精通自己的專業(yè),因此,在這一聽力階段應達到聽懂用英語講授的專業(yè)課程或報告,要練習完全用英語進行思維,把耳聽,思考,理解和筆錄完美地用英語統(tǒng)一起來,如果客觀上沒有這種聽課條件,大量閱讀專業(yè)資料,聽有關專業(yè)的英語報告,并積極開展英語討論,與同行交換看法等,也可以在很大程度上彌補這方面的不足。
三.聽力訓練的幾個具體問題
(1)泛聽和精聽相結合
在聽力訓練中,既要能準確無誤地聽出某些重要的數(shù)據(jù),年代,人名,地名及事實,又要兼顧把握大意的訓練,這弱項就必須所精聽與泛聽結合起來,交替練習,即把精聽和泛聽分成各處獨立的練習,聽時穿插安排,也可把一個故事或報告他成精泛段落,有些部分精聽,其余泛聽。在精聽時,要首先熟悉聽力材料中的生詞,對有此難句可以反復聽:而泛聽則首先著眼于量大,只求掌握大意,不必了解每個細節(jié),精聽遍數(shù)不限,直到完全聽懂為止。
泛聽的遍數(shù),由材料難度和自己的程度來決定,得一般不要超過三遍否則就失去了泛聽的意義,泛聽時,不宜中間打斷,要一氣呵成,精聽則可在句子之間或困難之處停下機器,倒帶重聽。興泛不精,會養(yǎng)成似是而非,不求甚解的習慣,反之,則見樹不見林,抓不住大意。所以這兩種訓練哪一種也不應偏廢。
(2)聽力訓練應培養(yǎng)的能力和從上下文猜字的能力,在聽力訓練過程中,往往會碰到聽不清或聽不懂的情況,原因很多,有進是由于說話人發(fā)音不清楚或錄音效果不好,有時是因為出現(xiàn)了生詞或內容陌生的緣故,這就要靠抓字音及從上下文猜字的能力來解決問題。比如:我們初次聽《薄雪花》(EDE LWEISS)這首歌時,可能對其中兩處的歌產(chǎn)生疑問,一是“You look happy to meet me”。有人會認為是 “You look happy to me,to me ”。但若仔細多聽,就會發(fā)現(xiàn) meet me 連讀時[t]音部分失去爆破,并不和me 相連。另一難點是“Blossom of snow,may you bloom and grow”這句歌詞中,blossom 一字由于節(jié)拍關系,唱得快,[l]音聽不清楚,再加上和后面的of連讀,給聽者造成很大困難,這時需要運用猜字的能力,從上下文進行分析,這是一首關于白色花的歌曲,后面的動詞中又有bloom(開放)這個詞,只有blossom(花朵)這個詞才比較合適,況且只有blossom這個詞包含和[sm]這兩個從錄音帶上可以辨認的聲音,這樣問題迎刃而解,所以,碰到類似情況時,首先要記住能聽清的聲音,然后根據(jù)上,下文的內容和語法關系提供的線索來進行推測,如果可能的話,還可以根據(jù)字音查一下字典,這一能力的培養(yǎng)是聽力訓練中很關鍵的一個環(huán)節(jié),對獨立工作,擺脫困難至關重要。
2)排除雜音和各種干擾的能力:為國培養(yǎng)這一能力,要多聽新聞廣播,聽那些看不見說話人口形的錄音報告,要逐漸適應人們說話加上“well”,“eh”之類填充語
(hesitation fillers)的習慣,以及有時說了一半忽然轉念另起一句話的現(xiàn)象,還要努力做到能把錄音不清楚的一詞半語,或者講演者降低聲音,很快一帶而過的詞句正確地補充出來。
3)要有適應英國音,美國音及一些主要方言的能力:聽力訓練可以采取從一種音入手,再逐步過渡到另一種音的辦法。為了更快的掌握聽好英國音和美國音的能力,學習者可以主動歸納或對比兩種英語在發(fā)音,語調上的差別,以便更好地渡過這一關。如美國人在or,er等組合字母后面還要加上[r]音:doctor[ ](英音),[ ](美音):把[a:]音發(fā)為[ ]音:can't[ka:nt](英音),[k nt](美音)等發(fā)音特點。對英格蘭北部,蘇格蘭地區(qū)有此特殊的發(fā)音和用字,以及美國黑人英語,澳大利亞,新西蘭英語中的一些變異現(xiàn)象,如無特殊需要,一般可以不練,不學。但適當有一些了解,聽一,兩個樣品錄音也有好處。
(3)聽力訓練的時間安排:聽力訓練需要思想高度集中,故時間安排以每天精神最佳時候為宜。而且,時間不宜過長,第要連續(xù)聽一小時以上。聽力又是習慣成自然的技巧訓練,所以每天安排一段時間。不能三天打魚,兩天曬網(wǎng),更不能聽一段時間后,就一扔半年,一年。
(4)聽力測試方法 聽力測試有各種形式,可根據(jù)本人程度及訓練目的,找一些合適的附,有測試題的聽力教材做些練習,考核水平
