美音和英音的几点区别

2010-11-21 20:48:52 阅读659 评论0 212010/11 Nov21

(一)单词中字母“r”发音――“卷舌”的标志

显而易“听”,卷舌音是美音区别于英音的一大特色。

请注意:

A 美音中除了Mrs.中的“r”不卷舌之外,只要含有“r”字母的单词均要卷舌。

美音                  英音

spare             /speEr/                     /speE/

burglar           / bErglEr/                   /bE:glE/

purpose         /pErpEs/                    /pE:pEs/

最典型实例

chairman, horse, dirty

(二)在美音中/t/发音与/d/相近

注意:美音中/t/ 出现在两个元音之间且处于非重读位置的时候,发音近似/d/, 而不是完全等同。我们这里用/d/来表示这个近似音。

美音            英音

city             /sidi/                   /siti/

better         /bedEr/             /betE/

pretty         /pridi/                 /priti/

最典型实例

waiter, winter, actor, yesterday, chapter

(三)听辨美音中的/A/

A growing number of women are developing something called 'computer face', a leading cosmetic surgeon said.

Dr Michael Prager said professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls, 'turkey neck' and deep-set wrinkles on their forehead and around their eyes.

The Botox specialist said that, of all his clientele, office workers were most likely to show premature signs of ageing.

'If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown or squint while they are concentrating at the screen then, over time, you will inevitably end up with frown lines,' Dr Prager, 42, said.

'What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy

如何用英文说班级里的干部

2010-10-7 22:20:21 阅读228 评论0 72010/10 Oct7

在我们的班级里,有着大大小小的干部:班长、学习委员、组织委员、劳动委员……每个委员都承担着自己领域的责任,为同学们的学习和生活提供服务。今天我们就来看看如何用英语说这些委员的称号。

班委会 class committee

班长 class monitor

副班长 assistant class monitor

学习委员 commissary in charge of studies

组织委员 commissary in charge of organization

宣传委员 commissary in charge of publicity

文艺委员 commissary in charge of literature and art

体育委员 commissary in charge of sports

生活委员 commissary in charge of general affairs

劳动委员 commissary in charge of physical labour

其实“啥啥委员”是很中国化的东西,所以英语中也没有确切对应的表达方式。以上译法是我们这里比较通用的方式,不过个人看来,将其中的commissary一词换做class representative(班级代表)更为贴切一些。上图就是一所国外学校的The Class Committee Structure(班委结构图)。

《小王子》经典温情语录重温

2010-8-13 23:10:08 阅读237 评论0 132010/08 Aug13

花儿使小王子感到苦恼与迷茫,尽管他依然是那么爱他的那朵花,却还是独自一人离开了自己的星球,开始了旅行。在访问了邻近的几个星球后来到地球……

偏见与成见的危险,人生探索的启迪,所有的大人起先都是孩子,正因为对某物某事付出过才使得某物某事变得如此重要,勇于承担责任的重要……下面就让我们重温一下小王子的经典语录吧。

You know — one loves the sunset, when one is so sad…

你知道的—当一个人情绪低落的时候,他会格外喜欢看日落……

If someone loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars. He can say to himself, "Somewhere, my flower is there…" But if the sheep eats the flower, in one moment all his stars will be darkened… And you think that is not important!

倘若一个人对一朵花情有独钟,而那花在浩瀚的星河中,是独一无二的,那么,他只要仰望繁星点点,就心满意足了。他会喃喃自语:“我的花就在星河的某个角落……”可是,这花一旦被羊吃掉了,一瞬间,所有星星都将随之黯淡无光……那你也认为这不重要吗?
