O-Level考试备考：英语中的句式语调和重音，你都弄懂了吗？

　　新加坡高外留学考试O水准考试成绩2年无效，第一年成就不理想，可以或许第二年再考一次，每名学生最多可考两次。以最好成绩来申请。正确的语调和重音对于掌握流利的发音来说至关重要。语调和重音就像英语歌的曲调。重读的词语对于理解至关重要，发出正确的语调也能够将意思清楚地表达出来。

　　Correct intonation and stress are the key to speaking English fluently with good pronunciation. Intonation and stress refer to the music of the English language. Words that are stressed are key to understanding and using the correct intonation brings out the meaning.

　　正确的语调和重音是英语流利发音的关键。语调和重音是指英语中的语调。强调的词是理解和使用正确语调的关键。

　　Introduction to Intonation and Stress Exercise

　　语调与压力训练概论

　　Say this sentence aloud and count how many seconds it takes.

　　大声说出这句话，数数需要多少秒。

　　The beautiful mountain appeared transfixed in the distance.

　　那座美丽的山在远处静静地躺着。

　　Time required? Probably about five seconds. Now, try speaking this sentence aloud

　　需要时间吗？大概五秒钟吧。现在，试着大声说出这句话

　　He can come on Sundays as long as he doesn't have to do any homework in the evening.

　　只要他晚上不必做任何家庭作业，星期天他就可以来。

　　Time required? Probably about five seconds.

　　需要时间吗？大概五秒钟吧。

　　Wait a minute—the first sentence is much shorter than the second sentence!

　　等等，第一句比第二句短得多！

　　The beautiful Mountain appeared transfixed in the distance. (14 syllables)

　　那座美丽的山在远处静静的躺着。（14个音节）

　　He can come on Sundays as long as he doesn't have to do any homework in the evening. (22 syllables)只要他晚上不必做任何家庭作业，星期天他就可以来。（22个音节）

　　Even though the second sentence is approximately 30 percent longer than the first, the sentences take the same time to speak. This is because there are five stressed words in each sentence. From this example, you can see that you needn't worry about pronouncing every word clearly to be understood (we native speakers certainly don't). You should, however, concentrate on pronouncing the stressed words clearly.

　　即使第二个句子比第一个句子大约长30%，但句子所用的时间是相同的。这是因为每个句子有五个重读词。从这个例子中，你可以看到，你不必担心每个单词的发音都清晰易懂（我们以英语为母语的人当然不会）。不过，你应该集中精力把重音读清楚。

　　This simple exercise makes a very important point about how we speak and use English. Namely, English is considered a stressed language while many other languages are considered syllabic. What does that mean? It means that, in English, we give stress to certain words while other words are quickly spoken (some students say eaten!). In other languages, such as French or Italian, each syllable receives equal importance (there is stress, but each syllable has its own length).

　　这个简单的练习对于我们如何说英语和使用英语非常重要。也就是说，英语被认为是一种重音语言，而许多其他语言被认为是音节语言。那是什么意思？这意味着，在英语中，我们强调某些单词，而其他单词则很快被说出（有些学生说被吃掉了！）。在其他语言中，如法语或意大利语，每个音节的重要性相等（有重音，但每个音节都有自己的长度）。

　　Many speakers of syllabic languages don't understand why we quickly speak, or swallow, a number of words in a sentence. In syllabic languages, each syllable has equal importance, and therefore equal time is needed. English however, spends more time on specific stressed words while quickly gliding over the other, less important, words.

　　许多讲音节语言的人不明白为什么我们会在一个句子中快速地说出或吞下一些单词。在音节语言中，每个音节都有同等的重要性，因此需要同等的时间。然而，英语花更多的时间在特定的重读词上，而在其他不太重要的词上快速过。
