The rhythm and rhythm of English include how to pause in the language flow (division of meaning groups), the stress and speed of words between two pauses, as well as continuous reading, weak reading and omission, as well as tone and intonation wait.
1. Syllables. English is a characterized polysyllabic language, and one of the rhymes and rhythms of English includes continuous reading, weak reading, and omission. ?Chinese is a monosyllabic language based on square Chinese characters, and Chinese characters may not all be monosyllabic. The result is that the standard for speaking fluent Chinese is an average speaking speed, and each word is pronounced clearly. Only some The word "Qingyin" is read weaker.
With the multi-syllabic nature of English and the fact that English words are spelled out by sounds, it is natural that a large number of sound concatenations in two words, three words or even more words will occur. When read together, a variety of consecutive readings, weak readings, and omissions occur, and not every word must be spelled clearly.
2. Stress and rhythm. Stress in English is very, very important. In CCTV's news broadcast, the volume of each word and word is equal, and the speaking speed is also very even. Stress in Chinese is mainly expressed by raising the volume, plus a little change of intonation, and its purpose is only to express an emotion. English stress is a fundamental part of English and is present in every effective language communication.
3. A sentence can be divided into several small paragraphs based on grammar and structure, and each small paragraph is called a meaning group. Meaning groups are the basic units of spoken English and can express certain meanings, including core words, which should be the stressed part of the meaning group.
In other words, spoken English is a language flow (fow) with pauses in the middle, and this pause is divided into meaning groups, not words and sentences. This is determined by the pronunciation method, way of thinking, habits and even culture of English.
4. Tone and intonation. English does not have a fixed tone, nor does it use tone to distinguish different words. The result is that English intonation is not based on each Chinese character and limited by the tone of each Chinese character like Chinese, but is based on meaning groups and sentences, with more changes and seemingly less regularity. .
