我們到底應該用哪一種英文口音溝通?
真的要看同學的目的和說話場合是什麼。
若是為了跟聽眾產生共鳴,那可能用他們熟悉的口音和說話方式,你說的話才會直達到他們的心坎裡。
同學來看一下Presentality分析李光耀 (新加坡開國最主要的領導人)與人民溝通的方式和他選擇使用的口音。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 不知為何,幾天前我的 Youtube 突然推薦了前新加坡總理李光耀 (Lee Kuan Yew) 接受西方媒體採訪的影片。
我知道很多名人說李光耀是他們最敬佩的領導人之一,但我從來沒看過他說話的影片, 我就決定來看看他是否真的很會溝通。
結果,我的天啊,太強大了。
就算影片是幾十年前的,影像跟聲音的畫質都不是很好,你還是可以感受到他講話的力道、威嚴、還有魅力:
https://youtu.be/VexrmTacOAA
我們就來解析他的一些溝通及說話技巧吧。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 如果這是你第一次聽他說話,你第一個注意到的,很可能是他的英文有多流利。畢竟人家可是在英國劍橋大學受教育的,英文根本就是母語。
但除了口音之外,最能展現語文能力的,是他的用字遣詞。
選擇有效的字眼,及潛在意義。
當第一位記者問他,他對美國在越戰使用武力的看法時(有點敏感啊!),他的回答,每個字都選擇的很巧妙。
*我把值得注意的幾個字,用大寫標示起來:
I would like to see a great deal more CAUTION, a more SELECTIVE EXERCISE of your enormous range of weapons you’ve got, and more BRAINS AND FEET — preferably Vietnamese brains and feet — rather than more power and GADGETRY.
他回答這個問題的時候當然要小心,不能過度批評美國政府,所以他選的字,也符合了這位記者想要表達的 “restraint” (克制)
•Caution — 會比 “Should use power more carefully” 要來的更溫和 (你可以自己唸出來看看,連 caution 的字本身都比較柔和)。
•Selective — 他不告訴美國怎麼使用武力,只是說 be selective,就是要選擇性的使用。
•Brains and feet, rather than gadgetry — 這邊也很巧妙,把當地的人,用 brains and feet 來代表,更能強調他們的長處,比 “local people” 更能夠有說服力。而且他選擇 gadgetry — 就是 fancy tools 的意思,但其實就是武器,但如果他說武器就太直白了,說成 “fancy tools” 又可以強調這個的短處,讓人覺得沒錯,brains and feet 確實比較好。
他能夠選擇好的字眼的原因,其中當然有他受過的教育、以及過去累積的經驗。但同樣重要的,是他不疾不徐的風格。
如果我們把他現場說出上面那段話的每個停頓點寫出來,變成分行,會變成這樣:
I would like…
… to see a great deal more caution…
… a more selective exercise of…
your…
enormous range of weapons you’ve got, and uh…
more brains and feet…
他幾乎每幾個字就會停頓一下,不但給自己時間思考,也可以表現出深思熟慮的感覺。
適時的停頓,可以讓你沈穩、有力!
停頓加上強調字眼的力道有多強大,我們看接下來這段就知道了,這也是我整個訪談中最喜歡的一段之一,在影片中的 17分25秒左右開始。
他對記者表示,他這次來美國,是要看美國人對於越戰,是否真的有決心。
我同樣把他停頓的地方分行,而且用大寫,表示他特別強調的字:
You MUST demonstrate, and which…
I’ve really come here to understand better…
is whether YOU…
as a PEOPLE…
have got that resolution (註:不是解決的意思喔,是決心)…
that stamina, that perseverance, AND…
most important of all…
*這裡明顯放慢速度,還對聽眾眨眼一下
infinite patience, AND…
*這裡一個超級長的停頓…
the capacity to hold back…
your desire to settle this quickly and get it over with, because this is a very different kind of war…
The other side is not in uniform. You are.
*還記得我們上次提到的長短句交錯嗎?這一段是不是就有用到這個原則呢?
我相信看上面的一段,就可以感受到他說話的力道,但還是推薦大家去看影片。這段話他 deliver 出去的方式,實在太好了。
尤其是說到 “infinite patience” 的時候,他整個把音拉的超級長,似乎想要讓很長很長的音,來讓聽眾感受到那個 “infinite”。
Note: 這是另一個演講技巧:就是讓你的音調、語氣、音量等等,來傳達字面上的意思。沈重的訊息,就用低沈緩慢的方式來說。要強調時間很長或過的很慢,就把字句的音本身拉長等等。
他連說到這段的時候,臉上的表情都很有趣,好像在跟美國人上一課:
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 Speaking the Audience’s Language
李光耀也很會看聽眾來調整自己的溝通方式。
如上面提到,李光耀上面對西方媒體說話的用字,都是比較有學問的,完全展示他的知識水平。畢竟東方人到了西方,不能被看貶。如果他說的是 highly-educated English,西方聽眾會比較覺得 ah he’s on our level!
你看看他對自己生涯的回顧,寫的多文雅:
I am not given to making sense out of life — or coming up with some grand narrative on it — other than to measure it by what you think you want to do in life.
他不是寫 “I don’t try to make sense of life”,而是 “I am not given to making sense out of life”。他還在後面加個 “grand narrative”。滿文學的。
但他跟自己國家的老百姓說話,就不是這樣了,也不能這樣。
把上面他跟西方媒體訪談的英文,與下面這個對新加坡人民做的演說相比,就很明顯了。甚至連口音也變了!
https://youtu.be/bGMKiv8-bzM
開頭他說:
I hope to tell you what merger means, why it’s good for all of us, why it’s coming, and why some people are deliberately creating trouble and difficulty…
很白話文對不對?
他就是一個很會看聽眾說話的人。當地媒體就曾經指出...

★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 我以前一直認為,反正新加坡不算個民主,李光耀完全掌權,當然可以照他自己的意思去做事情。但看完這些影片,讀了一些分析,發現我想錯了。
新加坡這麼小的地方,沒什麼資源,周圍環繞著這麼多的勢力,不但有東南亞的大國們,也有外來的勢力:美國、英國、澳洲、日本等等… 他是如何在這麼複雜的歷史背景下,不只持續掌權,生存,而且還打造今天的新加坡?
我相信他的溝通能力,一定是關鍵:對不同的勢力,在不同的時機點,用對的故事跟語言,傳達他需要傳達的訊息。
It’s not just about speaking. It’s about speaking to achieve your goals.

《主題四:我學聽說的方式》
1.線上英文課程,省時省力,又面對面,彼此熟識、彼此喜歡、彼此對彼此的話題有興趣。
一、從自由談話開始,我因文法結構沒基礎(小時候拒學),加上少說、說出口時不敢或要思考組織很耗時。沒關係,用翻譯機來輔助,至少說出口慢慢有印象也會適應語感,談話中的記憶是最深的。說完日後會迴盪在耳中,這是讓自己製造環境的一種方式。
二、或從教材開始也可,但教材我建議搭配聊彼此這樣,加深記憶和活用,不然僅跟著教材,太生硬了,更少了實用經驗。
試想>學英文只學教材,易忘,因就像是別人的故事聽完就忘記了;就好比,「自由談話」是自己的故事(不過常很多時候自己的故事或細節也會忘XD),「教材」像是別人的故事,要發生在自己的身上,記憶才更深刻!
三、平常沒機會講,一開始我認為自己不太會講一整句英文、英文反應較慢,是否不適直接找家教對話?是否要把底功練扎實再找家教?
找家教和自己獨自學,可並行!在每次上課時,能立即發現很多要改善的地方,進步較快,較知問題在哪;也會訓練反應語感能力。
這跟平常自己寫英文透過組織、排列的感覺不同,說英文的速度比寫快很多,會發現要很快回應時往往趕不上!
特別會發現自己在需要快速反應時,仍逃不開用中式邏輯去思考英文,代表:英文文法和邏輯架構不全,需靠更多後天的努力學習、以及培養去練就。
還有!自言自語複誦英文、或用英文思考講出的英文很流暢、發音可,但一對上外國人就...慢、發音怪、突然忘記怎說>這是「不習慣」導致。
要習慣只有一種方式:跟外國人對話!除非很有天賦,不需訓練對話也能在某天突然要與外國人對話時就對談如流。(但這應限少數人)
>試想:士兵上戰前的訓練和模擬,都不及實際上戰場的狀況;再多的訓練和模擬,還是得經過多次實戰經驗,才會贏得更多的戰役或收穫。
四、遇老師記得先申明:「I mean it! If I use the wrong words, pronunciation, grammar.Could you please correct me and give me politically correct English?」
(mean 是我一個有ABC老公的朋友告訴我的,她說mean有強調之意!對方即知一定要糾正你,這樣用比較口語地道和政治正確,也足以表達意思)
>因其實我每次都有在介面上「選擇請老師積極糾正我的文法和發音」,也總當面和寫著 跟老師再三說你要糾正我語法,但仍遇到老師回:「我想說我們對談流暢就好」,我暈倒,正確的用詞和語法超重要耶!
>如我說過的,敢敢說出來後,講錯後學到的印象更深!
例:政治正確的英文被糾正
有次我在社群上寫「if u want to learn English, you can find her.」
朋友說:「find的用法是這個人失蹤或不見了所以用find。我應該說message her。」
聽到這句,我恍然大悟!深深記得到現在
五、選母語人士或非母語人士?
看需求和預算,當然跟母語者學,會學到當地的口頭禪和口語的東西,但若是一個英文聽說還在起步的人,不管是對非母語或甚至是朋友間用英文對話,都能幫助訓練自己用英文組織、思考、反應能力等;等可能到一個階段,再視情況而定自己需不需選母語人士;或非母語人士平常身邊都是與母語人士溝通這種,也可!
2.選自己最喜歡的偶像或是興趣的相關YouTube頻道,吃飯時搭配著看,是自己很有興趣的都會加深印象;若有時間的話,還可抽空觀看時按暫停,跟著重複念好幾次。
3.最喜歡的影集:有劇情的東西,和原生英文的對話,有趣簡單,一樣可抽空觀看時按暫停,跟著重複念好幾次。且通常我們看劇不只是看劇,看完還會回憶好幾次劇情,不像學習生硬無感情的教材那樣,記憶破碎或沒記性。
4.電台:
一、我使用喜馬拉雅,超多免費英文資源,我較著重聽「英文對話」,好處是「單曲循環」、「倍速從0.5-3自由調整」,我都選倍數0.5,方便跟上節奏、也能邊複誦。
二、除了睡覺前,在工作或瑣碎時間等時候,我都會放著電台的英文對話,重複篇章聽一週以上,讓自己習慣英文環境、語感、句子連音怎說。
常太專注工作,根本聽不到電台聲音,但身體都是有記憶的,潛意識也許會偷偷的聽到(?),所以有幫助;或像洗碗或如廁時,邊聽邊複誦。把握每個能練習和製造環境的機會。
註:方式要適當,聽過度會造成聽力受損

want pronunciation 在 Xiaomanyc 小马在纽约 Youtube 的最佳貼文
Today I’m talking with Luke Ranieri (@ScorpioMartianus) who literally speaks fluent Latin and conversational Ancient Greek. He’s part of a small community of speakers around the world who have kept the Latin language alive, even though as a native language of Ancient Rome it died out over a thousand years ago. For him, learning Latin is about the community but most importantly about accessing the huge body of literature, ancient and modern, written in Latin. It was really cool to hear him talk about the way that his ability to speak Latin has allowed him to empathize with ancient Roman literature at a much higher level.
We talked about what Latin sounded like and how he and people like him have accurately reconstructed the pronunciation — he’s not just making this stuff up! We also talked about learning Latin and the way Latin is taught in high schools in the U.S. and the U.K., and as you can imagine Luke certainly has a lot of thoughts about that! I studied Latin and Ancient Greek in high school and it was interesting to compare experiences with Luke.

Go to https://buyraycon.com/xiaomanyc for 15% off your order! Brought to you by Raycon. I’ve always wanted to learn a Native American language, but it’s been extremely difficult to find anyone with whom I could learn as most indigenous American languages are considered critically endangered or extinct. So a couple months ago I was extremely excited to get in touch with someone who could teach me Navajo, the original language of the Navajo people who live mostly in the Navajo Nation located in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. Less than 200,000 people speak Navajo in the entire world. Navajo is hands down the hardest language I’ve ever studied, with extremely challenging pronunciation and one of the most complex grammatical systems of any extant language. It’s so complex that the language was used by the Navajo code talkers as the basis for a secret communication system during World War II.
But even though many young people no longer speak the language, the older generation often still does, and so after a month of studying the language and me and my crew’s COVID vaccinations we flew out to New Mexico to find locals to practice with. Thanks to Raycon for sponsoring this video and I’ll be donating 100% of the sponsorship profits to NavajoStrong, a nonprofit which supports the Navajo community. If you would like to find out more about or donate to NavajoStrong, you can find them at: https://www.navajostrong.org/
