6种方法提高你的英语发音
1、Know your weak areas/ 了解你的薄弱环节
When starting to work on a problem, it is pivotal to have a good
understanding of what the problem actually is. This is especially
important when improving your pronunciation. You have to ask yourself:
what sounds do I find most difficult to pronounce? How am I pronouncing
them incorrectly? What is the correct way to pronounce them? Although each
English learner may have their own individual sounds they find difficult
to say, the biggest factortoimproving your English pronunciation is your
mother tongue. Think: what sounds does English have that my mother tongue
does not? This is usually what learners find most difficult. For example:
当开始着手一个问题时，正确地理解问题的本质是十分关键的。若你想 要改
善发音时，这一点尤其重要。你要问自己：哪个音我觉得最困难?为什么我不能
正确地发音 ?它们正确的发音方法是什么?尽管每个英语学习者觉得困难的发音
各不相同，但是要提高你英语发音的 最大要素是你的母语发音。想一想：什么音
是英语中有的但我母语中没有的?这通常是学生认为最困难的 。例如：
Arabic speakers: differentiating between the “b” sound and the
“p” sound
说阿拉伯语的人：区分“B”音和“P”音
Korean/Japanese speakers: differentiating between the “r” and
“l” sound
?说韩语/日语的人：区分“r”音和“l”音
Spanish speakers: pronouncing “v” and“th”
?说西班牙语的人：区分“v”音和“th”音
These are just some of the common difficulties that English learners
who have different mother tongues face. So before going any further in
improving your pronunciation, remember to ask these questions and
pinpoint the exact issues that you face.
以上这些只是那些母语不同的英语学习者面临的一些常见困难。所以在进一
步了解如何改善你的发音之前 ，记得要问自己这些问题并精确地找到你所面临的
具体问题。
2、Pay attention to your mouth and tongue/ 注意你的嘴型和舌头
The human mouth and tongue can make a number of sounds, but what
students often forget is that even little changes and movements of your
tongue or mouth can drastically change the way you speak a language! Take
a moment to feel the way your tongue moves when you speak a sentence. How
is your mouth shaped when yousay“the”? What about “very”? Ask yourself,
“How should my mouth be shaped? Where should my tongue be when I say these
words?” This is where Englishteachers in particularcan help you because
they are trained in understanding the way English sounds are made in the
mouth and properly articulated. When talking to a native English speaker,
simply ask them to tell you where their tongue is positioned in their mouth
when they pronounce a particularly difficult word!
人类的口腔和舌头可以发出很多的声音，但学生往往忘记的是，即便你舌头
或 者嘴巴一个微乎极微的变化和动作也可以彻底改变你说一门语言的方式。当你
说一句话的时候，花点时间 去感受你舌头是如何运动的?当你说“the”的时候，
嘴型是什么样子的?说“very”时又是怎么 样的?问问自己，我的嘴巴应该作哪种
形状?我说这些单词时，舌头又应该放在哪里?这一方面英语教师 尤其能帮得上
忙，因为他们都受过训练，理解英语的发音方式并能恰当地模仿。当与一个母语
是 英语的人交流时，让他们告诉你当他们发音一个特别难的单词时，他们的舌头
是放在哪个位置的。
For instance, speakers of Indian languages such as Hindi or Tamil
often pronounce the “t” sound with the tongue slightly more inward and
sometimes even more curled backwards than English speakers. This causes
it to sound subtly different than when a native English speaker pronounces
the letter “t”. Asking an English speaker to slowly articulate a word
in front of you, such as “tractor,” while also slightly emphasising
their tongue and mouth movements will help you to understand how to
correctly pronounce particular sounds in a more effective and visual
manner. Give it a try next time!
例如，说印度语的人，如北印度语和泰米尔语中发“T”音时往往 舌头向内
微卷，有时候甚至比说英语的人向内卷的更厉害。这导致它听起来与母语是英语
的人发 音的“t”略有不同。请一个英语说得地道的人在你面前慢慢地、清楚地
说一个单词，比如“tract or”，同时稍微强调他们舌头和嘴巴的动作将以一个
更有效，更直观的方式帮助你了解正确地发出特定 的声音。下一次试试看!
3、Record yourself/ 给自己录音
Sometimes you have to face reality: you don't know exactly what areas
of your pronunciation you need to improve. What if you don't have a native
English speaking friend or teacher to constantly correct you? The best
strategy here is to record yourself! Find or write a passage, then record
yourself speaking it in the most natural and comfortable wayforyou. Post
it or email it to your English teacher or English speaking friend. Or even
place it on any language learning community! You'll find plenty of people
happy to point out some areas of weakness on which to focus. This way you
can also get advice from multiple people who can help pinpoint the sounds
and words to concentrate on and to make your English sound more natural
and native.
有时候你不得不面对现实：你不知道你的发音中到底哪一部分需 要改进。如
果你没有一个母语是英语的朋友或老师不断地纠正你要怎么办?在这里，最好的
策略 是给自己录音!查找或写一段话，然后以一个最自然、最舒适的方式念出来
并录音下来。发贴或邮件给你 的英语老师或者说英语的朋友，甚至可以把它放在
任何语言学习社区!你会发现很多人乐于指出薄弱环节 以便关注。通过这种方式，
你还可以从不同的人那里得到建议，他们能够精确地定位哪些音和单词需要注
意，使得你的英语发音更加自然、地道。
If you are up to the challenge and at an advanced level in English,
why not try a tongue twister? See what others think of your speaking and
pronunciation skills! Write yourself a self-introduction or a short
passage, then record yourself reading it aloud! This way you are
practicing your writing and speaking skills!
如果你喜欢挑战并且英语水平处于 高阶阶段，为什么不试试绕口令?看看别
人对你的口语和发音技巧有何想法!写一篇自我介绍或一篇短文 ，然后在大声朗
读时录音下来!这样一举两得，你同时练习了自己的写作和口语技能!
Sometimes listening to a recording of yourself speaking English can
be a way for you to find your own mistakes too! When we speak, what other
people hear and what you hear yourself can often be slightly different.
This is where recording yourself can help you find areas of concern that
you can work on with your teacher or independently.
有时侯听录音中自己说英语的方式也可以为你找到自己的错 误!当我们说话
时，别人听到的和你听自己说往往略有不同。为自己录音能帮你找到关注点方便
你找老师共同处理或者自己独立解决。
4、Be aware of different English accents/ 注意不同的英语口音
English, as in most other languages, has numerous different regional
accents as most of you probably two most significant accent
students learn English from are the American and British accents. Although
English canbe understandmutually between all accents, if you are trying
to sound PARTICULARLY more like a native English speaker, you'll have to
realize that native speakers all have their own specific accents. For
instance the pronunciation of simple words such as “car” can be
different between American and British accents.
