同場加映,蕭叔叔上年為明報寫的文章:
蕭愷一:【如何自學無懈可擊的英文發音】
【明報專訊】時常有海外華僑同蕭叔叔講,學英文講英文多年,說得尚算流利,但發音總學得不準確,跟英語國家的人說話時,有時要說兩三次別人才聽的懂。到底怎樣才能練好發音呢?
看書有用嗎?市面上有關的書,我看過不少,未見過真正有用的;最常見是一頁一音標的書,頂多加幾個單詞短句作例,卻沒有詳盡分析中文和英文發音的區別,更沒有提供練習英音的好方法。讀完這些書,通常只認得些符號,發音還是跟以前一樣。上堂有用嗎?可能有點用,但視乎老師的質素,也視乎師生比例。最好老師知道廣東話的發音特點,或對語音學有認識;還有,一對一的教更好。不過這些老師不容易找,價錢也不便宜。其實,最可靠的方法,是靠自己。
自學發音的方法先找個模仿對象學語言是個模仿過程:要模仿,先要有個模仿對象。所以第一件事是找個 pronunciation model,一個喜歡的人:演員、歌星、新聞報導員、清談節目主持都可以,只要能找到錄音就行。為什麼要選喜歡的人?喜歡才有動力去模仿呀。選人的時候,還要留意那口音是否你想學的那種。不單要考慮英式、美式、澳式或是加拿大式,更要留意model的性別、年紀和教育程度,因為不同背景的人,說話口音也不同。例如年輕少女最好別找七十歲的阿婆作模範,否則學足了就搞笑。(這是真人真事,我有個教英文的朋友,一開口像個英國東南部半posh的中產阿婆;但她只是個二十多歲的小姑娘。)從兩方面下手選了合心水的model,就找幾段他/她的錄像或錄音。不要貪心,不用長篇大論的,幾分鐘就夠了,剪成大約二三十秒的短片,就可以開工。
學英文發音要從兩方面下手:一是「咬字」articulation ,二是「旋律和節奏」rhythm and melody(西方的語音學家稱它們為 segmental 和 supra-segmental features,我嫌翹口,不採用)。前者是每個音的發音方法,唇舌鼻喉的運作;後者是眾音拼湊起來後的輕重、快慢、高低音。換句話說,咬字是微觀的發音特點;旋律節奏是宏觀的。要鍛煉發音,兩者都要留意。我建議學生,不妨分開來學練,避免分神。每一個音,不論大小,都不放過聽幾秒,重播再重播,每聽到一個跟自己讀法有些微不同的音,都停下來,多聽幾次,照著讀。有錄音器材的話,不妨把自己的聲音也錄起來比較。不要放過任何微小的音,要「吹毛求疵」的細聽、分析。
再給大家一例。以下短片,是蕭叔叔多年前講解怎樣練There’s been (/zb/) 發音。別貪心,幾分鐘的錄音就夠就是這樣一絲不苟的練習。
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI_f_pjvScA
對初學者來說,只二十秒的片已夠練幾個星期。語調節奏也是同一個練法,不過練的時候,盡量不要給咬字影響,否則顧此失彼,反而壞事。花一兩個月練完幾分鐘的片,英文發音該有小成。別以為只練一兩段片,就只會說這幾句;其實練習的多數是 generally applicable 的東西,就以在上面第二段片所談的 /bz/ 連音為例,它不但適用於原句的 “There’s been”,更可用於詞組如 “He’s been”,”was born”,”This is Ben”,”his brother”等等。
其實幾分鐘的說話,差不多已包含所有英文的音,和大半語調節奏的變化。讓那聲音入腦,再從自己的口發出最後,多給你一個貼士:成功把 pronunciation model 的聲音和語調入腦之後,看到任何英文寫的東西時都可想想:「我的model會怎樣說這句話?聽起來會怎樣?」有時還可用那聲音跟自己說話。久而久之,你一開口,就是腦內一直縈繞的那把聲音。
總之要自學無懈可擊的英文發音,要記住四點。第一,要有驚人的耐力和興趣。第二,找適合的發音model。第三,要吹毛求疵地,鍥而不捨的練,每一個音,每一個音的組合都不能放過。第四,同時要靠感覺,要把聲音入腦。
大家加油。

後記:
蕭叔叔時間有限,不常收生,有時被逼趕客。但好多時都會同對方分享一下自己學英文speaking的經驗,叔叔想說明的是,只要練得其法,要speak English like a native,實在不一定要請老師幫手的。你問問蕭叔叔facebook上的朋友就知。何況蕭叔叔自己也是靠自己死練爛練,大家也無理由唔得。今次寫這一篇,是由舊blog的舊文改寫。希望幫到各位迷途的同學仔。
spring pronunciation 在 Spice N' Pans Youtube 的最讚貼文
Urban legend has it that Hong Kong Swiss Wings were named this way because of mispronunciation. It was supposed to be Sweet Wings but because of poor pronunciation, people heard it as Swiss Wings and so Swiss Wings became the name of this dish in Hong Kong. This is a wonderful chicken recipe. I salute the chef from Tai Ping Koon (a Hong Kong restaurant) who invented this because this is so yummy. You can drench the wonderful gravy over instant noodles and voila - you have yourself a wonderfully tasty meal...yum yum.
Hope you can recreate this yummy dish in the comfort of your home. Thanks for dropping by our channel.

歌詞 Lyrics:
벤 - 안갯길
뿌옇게 흐려져만 가는
우리 기억처럼
하얀 안개 속에 서있죠
내 눈앞에 흐려져만 가는
밝게 웃던 그대 모습이
잊혀질까봐 겁이나
눈을 감아도 그대가 보이네요
그리워하는 이 맘 그댄 아나요
안갯길 넘어 그대가
날 찾고 있다면
달빛이 그린 저 길을 따라와 줄래요
우리 다시 봄날의
꽃을 피울 수만 있다면
돌아갈 수 있다면 좋을텐데
Ben - Misty Road
Like our memories
That are fading away
I am standing in white fog
Your bright smile is getting blurry
I’m afraid I’ll forget it
I close my eyes but I see you
Do you know how much I miss you?
Past the misty road
If you are looking for me
Will you follow the moonlit road?
If only the flowers of our spring day can bloom again
If only we could go back, how nice would it be
