英文歌是学习发音技巧的最佳素材。如连读,不完全或完全失去爆破,元音的弱化,同化等;所以现在更多的人会选择听歌来提升自己的英语听力水平,那么就来跟你们说下听英语歌如何提升听力。

音乐人人都爱听,在轻松愉快的状态下学习提高听力,能够事半功倍。听歌也是扩展背景文化知识的很好的途径。听不同国家不同曲风的歌曲,能欣赏西方文化独特的魅力,能体会到东西方文化的差异。听歌不仅仅是听听旋律,应该从发音上学习连读技巧,从歌词上理解其内涵。下面分享一首10年前曾经单曲循环的歌曲,来看看怎么分析,怎么学习。希望能对大家都有帮助。

英语歌

1.Because of you 

Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart(童鞋们熟悉的stare at中间插了一个out,是不是有种从屋内朝窗外看的即视感呢?a heavy heart肯定是要学习的搭配,沉重的心情,那么引申一下,a light heart什么意思呢?)

It's the end of the world in my mind

Then your voice pulls me back like a wake-up call(又是两个惯用语,本来我的内心就像世界末日,但是你的声音如同wake-up call。

I've been looking for the answer

Somewhere

I couldn't see that it was right there

But now I know what I didn't know(这几句话对童鞋们的时态意识提高大有裨益!从现在完成时,到过去时态和现在时态的起承转合,一气呵成~~)

Because you live and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help

Because you live, girl

My world has twice as many stars in the sky

(整段话用了三个because的原因状语从句,最后my world一个主句,爱的深沉爱的浪漫啊:因为你,我的天空闪烁了双倍的星辰,倍数的表达是不是又复习了一遍呢?)

It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again (同样,时态的转换!)

Cuz of you, made it through every storm (她说风雨中这点痛算什么~~)

What is life, what's the use if you're killing time

I'm so glad I found an angel

Someone

Who was there when all my hopes fell

(失去希望,可以用fall这个动词,形象)

I wanna fly, looking in your eyes

(非谓语动词)

Because you live and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help

Because you live, girl

My world has twice as many stars in the sky

Because you live, I live

Because you live there's a reason why

I carry on when I lose the fight

(看这个句型,because ___, there's a reason why__。练习仿写。carry on请熟记)

I want to give what you've given me always

(又是时态!还有what引导的名词性从句做give的宾语,不能在你的作文里再用that,which喽)

Because you live and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help

Because you live, girl

My world has twice as many stars in the sky

Because you live and breathe

Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help

Because you live, girl

My world has everything I need to survive

(I need to survive修饰everything,省略了that)

Because you live, I live, I live

——————————————————————————

2.You Rise me up

(1)词末辅音+词首元音的连读

如:when I 读为 [nai]

More than I 读为 [nai]

(2)字尾元音+字首元音,加入[w]或[j]

首先,在词尾以 [u:] 等接元音时可以加 [w]

如:so I can stand on mountains 读为 [wai]

其次,在词尾以 [i:] [ai] [ei] 等接元音时可以加 [j]

如:me up

另外,摩擦音[r]与其后面的首元音连读

如:wait here in the silence 读为 [rin]

有时单词词尾的辅音连缀可以和后面的某个元音开头的单词形成一种新的浊化现象。

如:Sit awhile 读为 [dail]

要听懂这些特殊的发音,就要先会读,所以读熟歌词练习发音技巧是相当有效的。

另外,这首歌里有些用词也是值得学习的。

(1)down : low in spirits; depressed(情绪低落的,沮丧的);如:I am feeling down today. (我今天情绪低落。)

(2)still: free from disturbance, agitation, or commotion (安宁的,不受干扰的)

(3)more than I can be: more than 在这里相当于over (超过,超越);如I love you more than I can say. (爱你在心口难开。)

(4) raise up: 原指lift (举起),不过在这里用其connotation: encourage or inspire.

(5)Sit awhile: sit for a while or moment

(6)burdened: bearing a heavy burden of work or difficulties or responsibilities
