Part C Phonetics and Writing

Phonetics : Rhythm and Intonation

1. 节奏是指话语里重读音节和非重读音节的排列模式。而英语口语中的节奏基本体现在各个重读音节（用O表示）之间的时距大体相等。英语是一种以重音计时的语言，各个重音与它后面跟随的若干轻读音节（用o表示）构成一个节奏群。有时一个节奏群是以一个空拍（用^表示）开始的，空拍在英语中也叫做“silent stress”，每个节奏群之间用“/”来相隔。我们用大致相等的时间来朗读每个节奏群。这样为了赶节奏，碰到轻音少的节奏群就可以念的慢些，轻音较多的节奏群就必须念得快一些，例如下列四组节奏群:

One/Two/Three/Four

One and/Two and/Three and /Four

One and then/Two and then/ Three and then/ Four

One and then a / Two and then a /Three and then a /Four

两个重音之间的轻读音节越多，我们在每个轻读音节上花的时间便越少。有时一个节奏群是以空拍开始，后面紧跟着几个轻音节，这样的节奏群常见句首或句中需要停顿的地方。例如:

^ o o O o O O o ^ O o O

He is a / student. / Yes / Peter, / he was at / home.

2. 语调（intonation），即说话的腔调，就是一句话里声调（pitch）高低、抑扬、轻重的配制和变化。世界上没有一种语言是用单一的声调说出的，以英语为例，英语有五种基本语调:升调（↗）、降调（↙）、升降调（∧）、降升调（∨）以及平调（→）。一句话除了词汇意义（lexical meaning）还有语调意义（intonation meaning）。所谓词汇意义就是话中所用词的意义，而语调意义就是说话人用语调所表示的态度或口气。一句话的词汇意义加上语调意义才算是完全的意义。同样的句子，语调不同，意思就会不同，有时甚至会相差千里。请看下例:

1）A: Jean，can you bring me the newspaper？

B: Sorry？（↗）

Jean用升调说“Sorry”，其意思是“I didn’t hear you. Could you say that again，please?”我们再看下句:

2）A: Jean，can you bring me the newspaper？

B: Sorry.（↙）

在对话2）中，Jean用降调说“Sorry”，显然其意思是拒绝帮助或无能为力。Notes:

节奏常见错误：

1. 重读一个句子中的每一个实词，形成一字一顿的现象，缺乏节奏感。实际上只需

重读传递主要信息的词，并将它们划入不同的节奏群。例如：Mary’s

younger brother wanted fifty chocolate peanuts. 如果重读这句话中的每

个实词，听起来便有些别扭。

2. 不少初学者将句子的意群等同于节奏群。这样做是不恰当的。意群是以语义为划

分单位，而节奏群则以重读音节为单位。属于同一意群的词语不一定就在同一

节奏群中。在上一例句中，Mary’s younger brother是属于同一意群的短语，但它们分别位于两个节奏群中。

语调：应该按照说话人的态度来分语调模式，而不能按照句子的语法结构来分。没有所谓“疑问句的语调”或“陈述句的语调”。因为疑问句和陈述句都可以用各种语调模式来说。因此，对于我们中国的英语学习者来说，了解某种调型所表示的某种态度或口气也就颇为重要。事实上，无论是在现实生活中还是在考试中，我们的学生常会因为对这些知识缺乏了解而无法确定说话人的态度、感情、口吻、意图等。

Writing Strategy

In an argumentative essay, you give your own opinion and then try to convince other people with reasons and examples. To write an argumentative essay, please follow the steps given below:

1. Begin by introducing the topic which may lead to different opinions.

2. Give your opinion about the topic.

3. Tell people why you hold that opinion and back up your opinion with examples

or supporting details. Give the most important idea or example first.

4. Think about why people might have a different opinion and try to show why they

are not important or true.

5. Conclude with a brief summary and try to make a strong last sentence that

people will remember. The rest of the article may be forgotten, but that strong sentence will be remembered.
