英语断句规则.doc

精品文档英语语音断句规则1.有标点的地方常是断句所在。如: John Smith, /our teacher,/ came in/ with a book in his hand. Our teacher前后逗号隔开，那么一般读的时候这也需要断开。2一个功能可能是断句所在。如：John Smith, /our teacher,/ came in /with a book in his hand.从另一个角度讲our teacher做的是同位语，因此作为一个语调群。Came in做谓语With a book in his hand做方式状语，因此要放在一起作为一个语调群。3.分句常是断句的地方，如：He did not come to work yesterday/ because he was seriously ill.但是具体地还是要看录音中是如何读的。比如：He did not come to work yesterday/ because he was seriously ill.这个句子的两个分句还可以划分为：He/ did not/ come to work/ yesterday/ because/ he /was seriously ill.美语听力与发音技巧第25期（短句的断句）Welcome to Daily Tips on learning English. Todays tip is on the importance of pausing to mark the boundary between phrases or thought groups. In a previous tip, I mentioned how in long sentences, it is necessary to pause between thought groups. However, relatively short sentences may also require pauses to help the listeners organize the stream of sounds correctly. Lets look at some examples. In the question “what time do you come in in the morning?” It is necessary to pause between the two prepositions “in”. If you pause after the word “come”, “what time do you come / in in the morning?” Then the listeners will be confused, because “come in” and “in the morning” are two separate thought groups. Heres another similar example. “Look your papers over over the weekend.” You need to pause between the two “over”s to help your listeners organize your words. If you pause somewhere else like “Look your papers / over over the weekend”, nobody will understand you. Sometimes pausing in the wrong place will change the meaning of what you say. For example, lets take two sentences. Sentence 1: “I usually eat sushi for lunch.” Sentence 2: “I ate noodles today.” When you put the two sentences together in speech, you must pause slightly between them. “I usually eat sushi for lunch. I ate noodles today.” If you pause after the word “sushi”, the meaning changes. “I usually eat sushi. For lunch I ate noodles today.” So remember to use pauses to group ideas together. If you pause in the middle of ideas, or group pieces of different ideas together, your listeners will have a hard time understanding you. This has been todays daily tip.

Although written English has spaces between every word, spoken English doesnt have pauses between each word, rather words are linked together. However, people do not normally speak without pausing at all. We do pause in speech. While in written English, there are periods, commas, semicolons and question marks. But we also pause in long sentences without punctuation marks. Lets look at some examples. My mother listens to the radio in the evening. This sentence can be said without pausing, because it isnt very long. But if I were to pause, I would say, “My mother/ listens to the radio/ in the evening.” Why? Because pauses come between thought groups-groups of words that express one thought. For example, “in the evening” is a thought group. Lets make the sentence longer. My mother listens to the radio in the evening, plays tennis in the afternoon, and cleans the house in the morning. Now it is necessary to pause because the sentence is very long. Pauses come between thought groups, and help the listeners organize the information they hear. Listen to sentence again. My mother listens to the radio in the evening, plays tennis in the afternoon, and cleans the house in the morning. If you pause in the wrong places, listeners will have a harder time organizing the information. Listen to the sentence read again with improper pausing. My mother listens to the radio in/ the evening, plays tennis in /the afternoon, and cleans the/ house in the morning. Now the sentence is almost impossible to understand, so remember to pause between thought groups, to help your listeners easily organize what they hear. This has been todays tip on learning English.
