大声朗读英语（就会提高你的发音和讲话技巧吗）

Hey what"s up, Stefanie the English coach here from EnglishFullTime. com. In this video, I"m going to answer the question "Will reading out loud help me improve my pronunciation and speaking skills?"

嗨，大家好，我是你们的英语老师Stefanie，来自EnglishFullTime.com。在这期视频课中，我会来回答一下这个问题：“大声朗读会不会帮助我提高发音和口语能力呢？”

Now the simple answer is that "yes, it will help in some ways but there are better methods." And I don"t recommend that you primarily use this method reading out loud to improve your pronunciation and your speaking skills.

简单来说，“会的，在某种程度上会有所帮助，但是还有更好的办法。”所以说，我并不推荐你一开始就用这种方式来提高你的发音和口语能力。

So I"m going to explain why in this video. Okay, so several months ago I wrote an email about this to all of my subscribers and one person wrote back.

这次我就来解释一下。几个月前，我给粉丝们写了一封关于这个问题的邮件，其中有一个人回复了。

And he was so angry and he was like: "how can you say that reading out loud isn"t the best method for improving our pronunciation and our speaking skills?" "This is what we"ve been taught this is what our teachers have shown us, this is what we all do."

他特别生气，说：“怎么能说大声朗读不是提高口语和发音的最好方法呢？”“这可是从小老师就教我们的啊，所有人都是这么做的。”

And first of all, I was kind of like "okay, just because that"s what everybody does and that"s what you"re being taught doesn"t mean that that"s the best method, right?" The reason why reading out loud is not the best way to practice your pronunciation is because words in English, and I say this all the time, are not pronounced the way that they are written.

首先，我觉得，即便是所有人都这么做，即便是老师一直这么教的，也不一定就意味着这是最好的方法，对吧？大声朗读并不是最好的方法原因在于，我经常提到，英语单词的发音，并不是他们写出来那样的。

In fact, words in English often have nothing to do their pronunciation has nothing to do with the way they"re written.We have silent letters, we have confusing letter combinations.

实际上，英语单词很多拼写跟发音都完全没关系。我们有不发音的字母，有令人摸不着头脑的字母组合。

You know, when we"re speaking, we cut off the ends of words, we add sounds, we eliminate sounds. And when you are reading text on a page, that text is flat.

我们说话的时候，会去掉词尾的一些发音，也会加上一些发音之类的。我们从书面角度去读的时候，文字只是一个平面。

You can"t read what intonation you"re supposed to speak with.You can"t read what emphasis you"re supposed to put on which syllable.

你读不出来需要用什么语调。你不知道自己该在哪个音节上重音。

You can"t read any of that information. So reading the words on a page, you could be reading them incorrectly and who"s gonna be there to correct you, right?

这些信息都是你从书面读不出来的。所以只是读书面的这些词，你可能就读错了，而且谁在旁边纠正你呢？

Who"s gonna be there to say: "Hey, no, you keep messing up right there. You keep doing that, that"s not how it"s done." If you"re just reading out loud, you could be practicing something incorrectly and then practicing it consistently incorrectly.

谁会在旁边跟你说：“你读错了，你一直这么读的都不对。”如果你只是大声朗读出来，有可能你读的就是错的，然后一遍一遍重复错误的发音。

And then you"re gonna solidify an incorrect language pattern in your mind. Simply put, you cannot read sounds, you can hear sounds.

这样的话，你就有可能把错误发音固定在你的脑海中。简单来说，你没法“读”发音，但是你可以“听”发音。

So if you"re trying to improve your pronunciation, you should not be reading and then trying to pronounce. You should be listening and then imitating what you hear.

所以你想要提高自己的发音水平，你不应该只是读。而是听，然后模仿。

Because your ears will not deceive you but your eyes will. You"ll read a word and you"ll see a silent letter there, and you won"t realize it"s silent, so you think you have to pronounce it, right?

因为你的耳朵不会欺骗你，但是眼睛会。你看到一个词，里面有一个不发音的字母，但是你并不知道它不发音，还以为它还是按照正常发音的。

Your eyes are deceiving you. They"re making you think that you need to pronounce a word in a certain way when you don"t.

你的眼睛会欺骗你。他们会让你在不需要发音的时候认为自己需要发音。

So rather you should listen to words, listen to sentences, listen to audio clips and just imitate what you hear, right? Many of you know this as "shadowing".

比起这样，你不如听单词，听句子，听广播，然后模仿你听到的东西。可能很多人都知道，这种方法叫做“影子训练”。

You"re shadowing what you hear, you"re saying it as you"re hearing it or you"re pausing the audio, pausing the video, and then repeating what you just heard. And then replay those audios again and again, listen repeat, listen repeat.

你跟读你听到的东西，然后模仿，听一部分，然后暂停，接着重复你听到的东西。然后再一遍一遍听，听，重复，听，重复。

And that way, you will learn to start sounding and speaking more like a native speaker and less like a textbook. A lot of foreign speakers when they speak in English they actually sound like a book.

通过这种方式，你就会说的更像一个母语者，而不是像一本教科书。有很多外国人说英语感觉就像教科书一样。

Like very choppy, you know, like they"re reading one word at a time and pronouncing everything perfectly but nobody speaks like that, right? So reading out loud is not a great method, because your eyes are gonna see separations between words.

非常的不连贯，一个词一个词往外蹦，每个词都说得很好，但是没人这么说话。所以说，单纯只是大声朗读并不是一个非常好的方法，因为你的眼睛会看到每个单词之间的空隙。

They"re gonna see the spaces, and it"s gonna give you this idea that "oh my gosh, there"s a space here between these words. So I need to make spaces in between my words when I speak."

单词之间的空格会让你觉得，“这里有空格。”“那我应该在我说话的时候也加上停顿。”

And that"s simply not true. We run all the words together practically. Okay, you guys, we use so many contractions in English.

这完全是不正确的。我们会把单词连起来说，我们用各种各样的连词。

So again, if you"re listening and then repeating what you hear, you"re more likely to develop a natural sounding English. Now the other reason why reading out loud won"t necessarily help you with your speaking is, because the way that sentences are constructed in a book are not the way that they are spoken in conversation, okay?

所以说，如果你多听，多跟读，那么就更有机会练出自然的发音。还有一个原因就在于，书里面的句子有时候跟说话并不完全一样的。

And I"m going to give you an example of this. So I have a book here it"s called The E-myth Revisited and here on Chapter 3 the very first sentence goes like this.

我来举个例子。这里有一本书，叫做The E-myth Revisited，第三章第一句话是这么说的。

"It is self-evident that businesses says like people are supposed to grow and with growth comes change." That"s a great sentence but it"s a great sentence for a book.

"It is self-evident that businesses says like people are supposed to grow and with growth comes change."这是一句很棒的话，但是只是对于一本书来说。

I do not talk like this, okay? So instead of saying "it is self-evident", I would say like, "hey, it"s obvious, it"s obvious."

我平时不会这么说话。我不会说"it is self-evident"，我可能会说"Hey, it"s obvious, it"s obvious"。

And instead of starting my sentence like that, I might not even say "it"s obvious" cuz when something is obvious we just say it we don"t have to say it"s obvious. So I would just say "You know, businesses are like people they have to grow."

甚至有可能我连这个都不会说，因为有的时候很多东西非常明显，所以我们压根儿就不用强调“很明显的是”。我可能就说，"You know, businesses are like people they have to grow"。

That"s it, that"s how I speak. I don"t have to speak in this fancy way that this book is written, and this book isn"t even that fancy.

我就是这么说话的。我不会像书里这么花里胡哨，或者文绉绉的。

But as you can see from this sentence here, it still has some pretty complex sentences. And again these sentences are very well-written, but nobody talks like that.

仔细读一下这句话，你就会发现这句话其实很复杂。这些都是非常好的句子，但是就是没人这么说话。

So if you want to learn to speak in a natural way, you have to imitate people. And not even people giving speeches, because the way you speak when you give a speech is a lot different than the way you speak in a conversation.

所以如果你想要自然地表达，那就要模仿别人。甚至不需要模仿那些演讲，因为演讲的时候说的话跟你平时说的话也有很大区别。

So in conclusion, reading out loud will help you improve reading out loud, okay? If you want to improve your pronunciation, listen and repeat what you hear.

总结来说，大声朗读只会帮你提高大声朗读的能力。如果你想要提高的是发音，那么最好的方法还是听后跟读。

And if you want to improve your speaking skills, then do that same thing, listen and repeat but engage in conversations with other people where you can practice your speaking skills, and where you can get feedback.

Because in a conversation someone"s gonna say, "oh I"m sorry what what do you mean by that?" or "I don"t understand what you mean." or "Could you explain that more?" or something like that.

如果你想要提高自己的交流能力，同样，也要听，跟读，但是也要跟别人去对话，而且要得到反馈的那种。因为如果你在跟别人说话的时候，对方说，“抱歉，你刚才说的什么意思？”或者“我没理解你刚才说的话。”再或者“你能解释一下吗？”

That shows you how you"re doing. And likewise, if nobody asks that if nobody says "oh what do you mean", if they just carry on with the conversation and keep going, then that confirms to you that they understood you and you"re doing great with your English.

这就表明了你说的怎么样。同样，如果没人提出问题，正常对话进行下去，那么就说明他们都完全听得懂，你英语说得也很不错。
