ntonation and meaning in english 語調(diào)與語義新東方提示大家學(xué)習(xí)語調(diào)其實也是很重要的

在這里 新東方名師 指點 你學(xué)習(xí)語調(diào)的方法

① 語調(diào)影響詞義：

project: /prə'dʒekt/ - 動詞；/'prɒdʒekt/ - 名詞
record: /rɪ'kɔ:d/ - 動詞；/'rekɔ:d/ - 名詞

② 語調(diào)影響句義：

例：you're hungry.
如果用falling intonation（降調(diào)）：表示make a statement
如果用rising intonation（升調(diào)）：表示ask a question

③ 語調(diào)影響說話人的意思：

in england, people don't mean what they say, and they don't say what they mean.
有時，一句話的表面意思并不是說話人真正表達(dá)的想法，所以我們需要依靠語調(diào)去判斷。

例：no.
降調(diào)：no and that's the end of it
升調(diào)：a question or go on
先降后升：no, but...
平調(diào)：一般是家長回答孩子

-are you doing anything tonight?
-no. ( / )
means: no, i'm not doing anything tongiht. go on. would you like to invite me to dinner?

-can you lend me a pound?
-no. ( \ )
means: no, definitely not. and it's the end of the conversation.

-are you using the car?
-no. ( \/ )
means: no, i'm not using the car, but neither will you. or you can't borrow it. or but i might need it later on.

-can i borrow the car?
-no. ( — )
means: 這個場景可能是十幾歲的兒子問父親，而父親顯然已經(jīng)無數(shù)次聽到這樣的問題，都有點懶得回答no了。于是就用了一個平調(diào)的no告訴兒子：上次不行，這次不行，下次再問還是不行。

語調(diào)的重要性：

通過上面這3方面的講解，大家應(yīng)該已經(jīng)了解到為什么語調(diào)那么重要
