第四篇:實用口語之學(xué)會說地道英語口語
要想使自已的英語口語多姿多彩,魅力無窮,并能很快吸引對方,僅僅流利快速是不夠的。許多英語專業(yè)畢業(yè)生在同外國人交流過程中,經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)尷尬的場面,兩個人都無法準確理解對方。中國學(xué)生語速倒是很快,但由于用詞的不準確,表達方式的不貼切以及過分追求難詞造成的歧義都會使雙方感到交流的不暢快,所以,外國人評價中國學(xué)生的口語是“Too strange to be true!”(太奇怪,不真實)或“Too beautiful to be natural!”(用詞華麗但不自然)使言談增色,就需要你靈活運用外國人經(jīng)常使用的習慣說話,包括習語,不過時 的俚語及大量的富有特色的語句。不要害怕模仿,只要運用得當,你盡可以引經(jīng)據(jù)典,洋洋灑灑。
當別人在你旁邊羅嗦個沒完,你煩透了,說“You are so boring “.(你真煩!)?!癝hut up!”(閉嘴?。┳匀粵]錯,可人家受得了嗎?不如來一句“Oh,come on.Give me a break!”(幫幫忙,讓我歇歇吧!)這多地道、多幽默。
要想說人“氣色好”?!癥ou look fine!”當然不錯,可如果你說”You’re in the pink!”就妙得多了,實際上,在英語口語中,表示顏色的詞用起來非常形象生動。
“他精力充沛”美國人說:“He is bouncy.”而不說“He is energetic ”,牢記一些日常對話中的活句式是你一把必備的鑰匙。
如:久仰,“I get mind of you “.比”I heard a lot about you.”輕松得多。
代問他人好當然能用”Please remember me to your sister.” 或”Please give my
best wishes to your father ”不過,若是很好的朋友,何不說,“Please give my love to Jim?!?/p>
在中國可不能隨便說“我想你”,然而,當和西方人分手時說“I will miss you.”要比說“Good-bye”或“See you soon”有趣得多,不妨一試。
有人開會遲到了,你若對他說 “You are late.”,聽起來象是廢話,若說“Did you get lost ?”,則更能讓他歉然,可別說成“Get lost!”那可是讓人滾蛋的意思。
別人征求你的意見,問能否開窗戶等,你要說“You can do that.”就有點土了,用一句“Do you have the time? ”實際上,問他人的姓名,地址都可以這么用:“May I have you name?“要比”What’s your name ? ”禮貌得多,不過警察例外。
別人問你不愿公開的問題,切勿用“It’s my secret,Don’t ask such a personal question.”回答,一來顯得你沒有個性,二來也讓對方尷尬。你可以說“I would rather not say.”(還是別說了吧!)。
有時候,你想說什么,可說是想不起來,你可以說“Well ?”“Let me see”“Just a moment ”或“It’s on the tip of my tongue.”等,想比之下,最后一個句型是最地道的。
交談時,你可能會轉(zhuǎn)換話題,不要只說“By the way ”,實際上,“To change the subject”“Before I forget”“While I remember”“Mind you ”都是既地道有受歡迎的表達。
遇到你不懂的問題時可別不懂裝懂,“I know”可能是中國人用得最多,而美國人最不能接受的一句話。當一美國教師向你解釋某個問題時,你如果連說兩遍“I know”可能是中國人用得最多,而美國人最不能接受的一句話。當一美國教師向你解釋某個問題時,你如果連說兩遍“I know”,我敢保證,他不會再跟你說什么了。用“I see ”或“I got it ”就順耳得多,要是不懂就說“I’m not clear about it.”不過如果你會說“It’s past my understanding”或“It’s beyond me.”你的教師定會驚訝不已的。
第五篇:脫離模版說地道托??谡Z
目前,托??谡Z在托??荚囍惺亲屩袊忌返囊粋€部分,因為沒有語言遠景等一些原因,所以導(dǎo)致我們的口語能力并不理想。托福口語準備要怎么準備,以及托??谡Z特點都是幫助我們訓(xùn)練口語的重要部分。
托??谡Z難原因大部分是以下兩點:
第一,中國學(xué)生缺乏英文的語言環(huán)境。
第二,心理因素。因為不敢說,不想說。
而對于模板,上海環(huán)球托福小編相信每個考生都會積累和搜集,但是,僅僅如此,很難在眾多同學(xué)中脫穎而出。換位思考,對于考官,面對著眾考生和那些堆砌的華麗模板,誰都會審美疲勞吧。所以,要讓考官印象深刻,就得讓自己的口語更地道。在這里上海環(huán)球托福小編給大家提出2點建議:
1.大量的去看口語書、多看原版電影,越生活化的越好
從電影中大量的搜集日常的對話,把它們說得要像說自己的名字那樣嫻熟,要說得像“What's your name? Thank you!"那樣自然,然后你要對你的家人說,你不會對你的爸爸、媽媽說話也羞澀吧?你說出一句英文,你告訴他們你的中文意思就可以。
這樣還能練習的你的中英互換。然后同樣的句子,你對你最好的朋友說,因為她們不會笑話你說錯了,誰都知道說好英語是件非常不錯的事情。這樣,針對不同的人說同樣的話,慢慢地你會減少恐懼感,說話會比較自然、流利了。既然你能和別人說好中文,就一定能說好英文。
2.找一張自己最喜歡的原版電影
你把臺詞寫出來,然后自己當演員,比如說像《羅馬假日》,你就當那個公主,當你的大臣、還有偶然遇到的那個男主角和你說話的時候,你就做出公主的回答。一個人在家里練習,沒人會笑話你的。
各種電影中有各種不同的英語口音,你又是在跟這些國際大牌明星對話,那是多么的了不得!大街上一個區(qū)區(qū)平常的外國人你還在意嗎?“咱是跟大牌明星天天說話的主兒!”只要環(huán)境熟悉了,說話也就不緊張了。無非就是個熟練程度的問題。
還有,如果你真的碰到了外國人,剛開始緊張也很自然,外國人也是知道這點的。他們也會放慢語速和你交流的,說上幾句適應(yīng)了,你也就不緊張了,然后你告訴他(她)平時很少能和外國人交流,所以說英語勢必會緊張一些,甚至有的不會說。他們能夠理解。如果說他們不理解,你就直接說你那最純正、最流利的漢語,說得他們暈頭轉(zhuǎn)向,照樣很了不起!
以上就是平日中我們?nèi)绾芜M行托??谡Z練習方法的介紹,學(xué)習語言就是要更加生活化,用語表達更加重要。所以托??谡Z學(xué)習也要更加注重生活化和表達能力的培養(yǎng)和鍛煉。
在這里,上海環(huán)球托福還為大家搜集了一些美國人常掛在嘴邊的20句話,生活化的用法,必須加以操練哦:
1、真是稀客。
You are really a rare visitor。
2、你說的頭頭是道。
What you said sounded reasonable。
3、我真是反應(yīng)遲鈍。
I am really slow-minded。
4、你把我給搞糊涂了。
You made me confused。
5、罪有應(yīng)得。
You deserved it。
6、已經(jīng)無法挽救了。
There is no way out。
7、別跟自己過不去。
Don't give yourself too much pressure。
8、你有話直說吧。
Just say it。
9、這可不是三言兩語的事。
It's not easy to explain in several words。
10、天塌下來有我呢。
Nothing serious.It’s up to me。
11、車到山前必有路。
You will find a way。
12、破財免災(zāi)嘛。
Lose money just to avoid misfortune。
13、成事不足,敗事有余。
Never make, but always break。
14、別在這挖苦我了。
Don't make jokes about me。
15、英雄所見略同。
Great minds think alike。
16、讓你破費了。
Thank you for inviting me。
17、有點不怎么對勁兒。
There's something wrong here。
18、太陽從西邊出來了。
It never happens to you。
19、恭敬不如從命。
I had better follow your advice。
20、你可別小看我。
Don't look down upon me。
托??谡Z準備階段的最后一個部分,當然就是練習口語了。消除了心理的說英語恐懼,也積累了一定的材料并總結(jié)出了自己的答題思路,這個時候就要通過實踐自我考察了。上海環(huán)球托福建議考生們將自己說的話錄下來并做總結(jié)和分析,這樣才能夠認識到自己口語的不足。
