單元1. Tongue Twisters(趣味繞口令)
練習英文繞口令的目的,主要是能增進口說時:「發音標準」、「流暢度」與「韻律感」。學習合理的把字詞串組在一塊,何時停頓,何時加重音量,以便掌握更有效的溝通技巧。
今天的繞口令主要練習:字詞串組、流暢度。
When a doctor doctors a doctor, does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor as the doctor being doctored wants to be doctored or does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor as he wants to doctor ?
逐步練習:符號「△」表示停頓。
When a doctor△doctors△a doctor
does the doctor△doing the doctoring doctor△as the doctor being doctored△wants to be doctored△
or does the doctor△doing the doctoring doctor△as he wants to doctor
中譯:當醫生給醫生看病時,醫生是按照被看病的醫生想要看病的方式看病,還是按照他想要看病的方式看病?
