英音- 04 | Tim‘s Pronunciation Workshop - 英音发音工作室

本视频来源为BBC Learning English，视频主讲人为Tim，视频在小木屋（workshop）中拍摄，命名为Tim‘s Pronunciation Workshop。同时，视频中有街拍真人实例发音，比较有说服力和代表性，大概每集在5分钟以内，适合碎片化时间学习，大家一起加油吧！

自学方法

• 仔细观看视频（两遍以上），熟悉每一个发音位置；

• 依据视频，进行大量跟读模仿；

• 把自己的音频录制下来，与视频中发音进行比对；

• 找出不足，回头再学习视频中的发音技巧，进一步练习；

• 找一位同伴或英语教师（Native speaker最好），为自己纠音。

注意事项

• 发音需要大量练习；

• 一定要模仿正确的音，要打破之前的发音习惯；

• 不要短期期待效果，坚持坚持在坚持；

• 有条件一定要结伴同行，可以是学生，最好是老师；

• 发音好不等于英语好，因此还要大量输入语言素材，不要只关注发音。

Hi. I'm Tim and this is my Pronunciation workshop. Here I'm going to show you how English is really spoken. Come on, let's go inside. Phew, just made it. A little bit late today. My alarm didn’t go off this morning, so, I nearly missed the bus.

Voice
Err... Tim, why do you need a bus to get to the shed at the end of your garden?

Tim
Well, you know it’s a really big garden.

Voice
Really?

Tim
OK, fine. Look, I’ll let you into a little secret. This actually isn’t my workshop. I’ve been borrowing it from a friend. Anyway, I nearly missed the bus, but I didn’t. So, let’s ask some people in London what they would do if their alarms hadn’t gone off this morning.

If my alarm hadn’t gone off this morning, I’d’ve missed the bus.
I’d’ve stayed home.
I’d’ve woken up anyway.
I’d’ve been late for work.
I’d’ve missed the train.
I’d’ve stayed in bed.

Tim 
In an earlier video we saw that the verb ‘have’ is pronounced as /hæf/ when it’s used in its modal form. But this isn’t the only way the pronunciation of ‘have’ can change. Watch and listen again. Can you hear how they pronounce it differently?

If my alarm hadn’t gone off this morning, I’d’ve missed the bus.
I’d’ve stayed home.
I’d’ve woken up anyway.
I’d’ve been late for work.
I’d’ve missed the train.
I’d’ve stayed in bed.

Tim 
When the verb have is used as an auxiliary it’s often contracted. And when it comes after a consonant sound it’s pronounced /əv/. So, ‘I’d have been late’ becomes ‘I’d’ve been late’. This pronunciation is very common in conditional sentences, but it’s not the only time you’ll hear it. Here are some more examples.

Examples
Your parcel should’ve been delivered yesterday.
I would’ve done it differently.
We might’ve made a mistake.
The police’ve arrived.

Tim
Right, so you’ve heard the examples, and now it’s your turn. Listen and repeat.

Examples
Your parcel should’ve been delivered yesterday.
I would’ve done it differently.
We might’ve made a mistake.
The police’ve arrived.

Tim
Well done. Now remember, if you want to learn more about pronunciation, then please visit our website, bbclearningenglish.com. And that is about it from the pronunciation workshop for this week. I'll see you soon. Bye bye! OK, now how does this alarm work? I guess I should’ve read the instructions! That was really loud!
