为什么我们的说的托福口语不地道?
我在托福口语考试你必须要知道的文章中提到,语言作为一门交流工具,在日常对话过程当中起到了彼此间传达想法的媒介作用。我们实际是在用外在的语言来表达内在的思维和想法,最终能够达到一个彼此间有效沟通的目的。
从ETS出题人的角度来分析,托福口语考试实际上是考查你用英文在特定时限下表述自己和别人想法的能力。笔者认为,目前大家在准备口语考试过程中所遇到的瓶颈主要有以下三点:第一,对题目类型不够了解。玩一项游戏不了解游戏规则,即便你的能力很强,如果不按照套路出牌,只能是死的很有创意的节奏。因此需要大家通过对OG的仔细研究,或者老师的介绍对托福口语的题目类型有全面并且深刻的认识;第二,语言能力欠缺。词不达意或者句不达意,即便表述清楚但给人一种不够地道的感觉;第三,表达能力不足。无法在特定时限下用言简意赅的语言将陈述和转述的内容表达清楚。相信很多人都会有四十五秒或者一分钟内说不完或者说不好的感觉,为什么呢?表达能力差。究竟差在哪儿?这里会有考试时紧张的因素,可能导致的后果即评分标准所讲到的发音不准确、语音语调、语速不够自然,表达不够清晰流畅,当然也可能是先天的表达能力不足所导致。
本文主要目的是来和大家一起探讨,我们的英文表达究竟不够地道在哪里?
首先我们不妨换位思考一下,老外讲什么样的汉语,你会觉得他的汉语很棒?
我的一位来自挪威卑尔根的朋友Marie跟我分享了她做presentation的讲稿,其中的选词我觉得很值得大家细细体味。比如,她写道:“我认为一个最理想的恋爱对象就是一个结婚对象,那样我们的关系不会昙花一现。”我们大致一看,语言组织似乎没有什么大的问题,意思也基本能表述清楚,但如果做口头的演讲陈述,总会给人一种前半句有些“老外”而后半句很“老内”的感觉,为什么会出现这种情况呢?我们不妨从这句话的英文源头活水来分析。这句话的原句是这样的:I think my ideal love partner is a marriage partner. That way our relationship is not temporary.很地道的英文。但在中文语言的表述上Marie却选择了完全不同的语言表达方式,前半句是比较生硬的直译,而且“对象”一词还出现了重复的情况,给人一种很土很秋裤有些晦涩的感觉。事实上,假设让一个稍有语言功底的中国人来表述,他大多会引用主席语录第38章5节27行(虽然据笔者初步估算主席语录只有33章),即“我觉得我心目中理想的对象就该是以结婚为目的的”。如此表述,不仅能够很好的表述自己的想法,还能让自己答案略带喜感,甚至能表达自己的政治立场。后半句Marie表述的就非常地道,能够很好的引用汉语习语昙花一现来适当“卖弄”一下,表述自己对希望能有一段持久爱情的美好夙愿。
回到英文表述上来,先拿一个比较常见的成语例子来入手:覆水难收。大家第一次看到这个成语时,会想到用怎样的英文来表述它呢?笔者通过测试,发现大部分学生都是摇头或者很生硬的直译,比如:Some poured water can not be taken back.但假如让native speaker来表述的话,他们往往会说:There is no use crying over spilled milk, or there is no point beating a dead horse.
因此,从语言能力角度思考,无法引用地道习语谚语并融会贯通地使用,已成为我们口语突破的一个重要瓶颈。实际上这不光涉及到语言,还有地域包括文化的差异。那么,问题最终归结到:究竟如何切实提升我们自身地道的美语语言表达能力?这个咱们下回接着再谈。

如何克服托福口语的心理障碍
有人说口语如果在英语是母语的国家里,会很快的成熟和精炼,我说那不是绝对的,因为在面前的就是一个很好的例子。
无论你是在中国,还是在美国或英国,如果你有心理障碍,就会出现以下的现象:
1. 没说话之前就在嘀咕,如果我说错了怎么办?
2. 我是用什么时态呢?
3. 我是说慢点呢,还是快点?
4. I THINK, I THINK……
5. 深沉着……
6. 抬头,眼睛向上翻着….. 寻找着……
一个从英联邦回来的高中生, 在那里读了2年的高中了,与他对话吓了一跳,我紧跟着问了几遍,你真的是从国外回来的?? 没错,原因是同学多数是中国人,而且参加讨论的课程也少,不愿意与人交流,心理上就在抵抗,那么说托福口语就更加的困难, IDEA全无,给人一种一片茫然的感觉,总是觉得自己会紧张,说不出来.
对于这种状况,先消除的就是心理疾病,在交谈中不断地鼓励和激励,并用一些适合他的方式来练嘴, 你就会发现当心理障碍被屏蔽掉后,他说话的流利程度很快的上涨,几天的时间就已经表现出来自信和流畅.
总结的说,口语训练,不是只有在英语母语国家才能练出来,中国有大批的没有出国的中国人,口语也相当的好,只是方法问题.更何况现在的信息发达,听和说的机会都相当多.我一直认为在托福考试中,口语和写作是最好拿分的.
托福口语提分的九大绝招
绝招 1 随时随地练习口语 。
Practice wherever you can and whenever you can. Any practice is good, whether you speak to someone who is a native English speaker or not.
绝招 2 以表达清晰为主,句型多样化为次。
It's important to build your confidence. If possible, use simple English sentence structure that you know is correct, so that you can concentrate on getting your message across.
绝招 3 大胆运用所掌握的词汇,不要过分拘泥于语法。
Try to experiment with the English you know. Use words and phrases you know in new situations. Native English speakers are more likely to correct you if you use the wrong word than if you use the wrong grammar. Experimenting with vocabulary is a really good way of getting feedback.
绝招 4 透过身体语言理解对方意思并作出回应。
Try to respond to what people say to you. You can often get clues to what people think by looking at their body language. Respond to them in a natural way.
绝招 5 尽量避免翻译。
Try not to translate from or into your own language. This takes too much time and will make you more hesitant.
绝招 6 遇到不知该如何表达的时候,用一些常用词表示自己正在思考。
If you forget a word, do what native English speakers do all the
time, and say things that "fill" the conversation. This is better than being completely silent. Try using um or er, if you forget the word.
绝招 7 语速不要过快。
Don't speak too fast. It's important to use a natural rhythm when speaking English. But if you speak too fast, it will be difficult for people to understand you.
绝招 8 说话时尽量放松,让发音流利顺畅。
Try to relax when you speak. When you speak English at anormal speed, you will discover that most of the pronunciation skills, such as linking between words, will happen automatically.
9 杀手锏 :别怕开口说!随时随地练习,你会更自信
Don't be shy to speak! The more you practise, the more confident you'll become.
