1、英语和汉语一样,人们在朗读或讲话时,为了生动、清 楚地表达自己的意思,或作稍微短暂的呼吸换气,将意 思表达完整,往往需要在语言表述的某些地方加以停顿。在英语教学中常遇到学生朗读或讲话时对停顿无所措的 情况,直接影响着教学进程和效果。和汉语一样,讲话 者不得随意乱停。若停顿的不正确,不仅无法准确地表达意思,而且可能引出许多笑话或误会来。譬如,汉语中人们常说的这样一则笑话:我是xx总经理”、派来的就是因为停顿上的错误,让人误解,觉得滑稽可笑。一、停顿(Pausing)英语语法规定根据阅读或讲话句子长短情况,可按意群 进行停顿。在同一意群的各个词之间不能停顿,而应一 口气读完,以便整体意思不致中断,使人能完整地理解 讲话人的意图和目的。例如:a I did not see Mary / at the party .a Changjing is the longest river / in our country .? A child begins / to speak / the moment it opens its lips / to utter any acknowledged sou
2、nd.注:意群和意群之间并非一定要停顿,根据情况,有些 可停也可不停。例如:上例a a就可不停。a I did not see Mary at the party .a Changjing is the longest river in our country .上例?也可少停一次。? A child begins to speak / the moment it opens its lips / to utter any acknowledged sound.现已知停顿的规则,但要准确地运用还必须弄清楚英语 中的意群及其划分。二、 意群(Sense-groups )。精品资料意群指句子可以按照意思和语法结构分为若干段落,每 一个段落就称为一个意群。它是在意思上相对完整,在 语法上密切联系,不能再分的一个词组。例如1 .下列句子可分为两个意群:a We study hard / for our country .a There are only two windows / in that room .2 .下列句子可分为三个意群:a I will be glad / to meet y
3、ou again / next year.a He said / that he would do better / in his English study.3 .下列句子可分为四个意群:a We worked / with the workers there / and learned alot / from them.a The forest had been green / in the summer / when we had come / into the town.三、意群的划分。一般规则如下:1.冠词与名词划为同一意群。a There is an English novel on the bookshelf.a The film we saw last night is very interesting.2 .形容词与名词划为一个意群。a Please pass me that red-blue pencil.a I have not enoughmoney to buy it.3 .系动词与表语划为一个意群。a How to go there is a problem
4、.a To rise early is his custom.4 .介词短语划为一个意群。a There are some tall trees in front of the building.a Keep him in the dark about the matter.5 .动词不定式短语划为一个意群。a I refused to believe the evil rumor.a Because he is ill , he feels unable to do it to it6 .分词短语化为一个意群。a They lived in a room facing the south.a A letter posted today will reach him the day after tomorrow.7 .动名词短语划为一个意群。a Seeing him happy made me happy too.d Have you finished correcting the students papers?8 .动词及其主语或宾语划为一个意群。a We can sing a s
5、ong in English&I received a letter from him after a long silence.9 .副词与动词放在一起划为一个意群。a He has been working hard since he came here.dNow that you are a big boy, you must behave better.10 .关系词与从句、连词与其后面部分划为一个意群。a W should strike while the iron is white hot.dTake the medicine before you go to bed.? He said that he would come to see you soon.? Do you know whose pen it is? She told a story which moved us deeply.? We should never pretend to know what we do not know.? You can go either by boat or by train.? I awoke one morning and found myself famous.因此,朗读时一个意群不能分开读,即不能在意群中间 停顿,否则,就会影响整体意思的表达和理解,出现与 前面提到的与汉语一样的错误,在教学中应引起重视。Welcome ToDownload !欢迎您的下载,资料仅供参考!
