第一期 第6天:打招呼 (问路 - 进阶)

难度级别:40-60分(中高级) | 主题:复杂路线询问

📚 对话原文 (Dialogue)


A: Excuse me, I'm trying to locate the hospital. Could you possibly guide me in the right direction from here?
打扰了,我正在寻找医院。您能指引我从这里正确的方向吗?
B: Of course. Proceed along this avenue until you reach the large intersection. Once there, cross to the other side and continue until you encounter a roundabout. The hospital is situated just beyond that, on the right-hand side.
当然可以。沿着这条大道一直走,直到你到达一个大十字路口。到那儿后,过马路到对面,继续走直到你遇到一个环形交通岛。医院就在那之后,在右手边。
A: Does that mean I should follow this road straight, without making any turns until the roundabout?
那是不是意味着我应该沿着这条路直走,一直到环形交通岛都不转弯?
B: Precisely. After reaching the roundabout, you will only need to follow the curve until you see the hospital directly ahead of you.
完全正确。到达环形交通岛后,你只需要顺着弯道走,直到你直接看到医院在你前方。

🎤 发音指导 (Pronunciation Guide)

符号说明:
  • / 短暂停顿
  • // 较长停顿
  • ** 内容重音
  • CAPS 核心重音
  • 连读
  • ( ) 弱读/失爆
  • ⤴ ⤵ 语调

句子 1

A: Excuse me, I'm trying to locate the hospital. Could you possibly guide me in the right direction from here?

ExCUSE me ⤴ / , (I’m) TRYing t(o) loCATE the HOSpital ⤵ // . COULD‿you POSsibly GUIDE me / in the RIGHT diRECtion / fr(o)m HERE ⤴ ?
  • 拖长点locate。这句的核心意图是“找地方”,动词元音拉长能增加请求的诚恳感。
  • 弱读/连读trying to 读成 TRY-in-taCould you 连读成 Cou-dja
  • 状态:一种略带困惑但非常有礼貌的求助语气,重点在 RIGHT direction

句子 2

B: Of course. Proceed along this avenue until you reach the large intersection. Once there, cross to the other side and continue until you encounter a roundabout. The hospital is situated just beyond that, on the right-hand side.

(Of) COURSE ⤵ // . ProCEED‿aLONG this AVenue / unTIL you REACH / the LARGEINtersection ⤵ // . ONCE THERE ⤴ / , CROSS t(o) the Other SIDE / (an)d conTINue / unTIL you enCOUNter / a ROUNDabout ⤵ // . The HOSpital (i)s SItuated / JUST beYOND THAT / on the RIGHT-hand SIDE ⤵ .
  • 连读/弱读Proceed along 连读成 pro-SEE-da-LONGbeyond thatd 音做憋气处理(失爆)。
  • 憋气点intersection。在 ts 转换处要快,不要加元音。
  • 节奏感:这是一连串指令,每到一个地标(intersection, roundabout)语调微升做停顿,给听者消化的时间。

句子 3

A: Does that mean I should follow this road straight, without making any turns until the roundabout?

DOES THAT MEAN ⤴ / (I) sh(ou)ld FOllow this ROAD STRAIGHT ⤵ / , withOUT MAking ANy TURNS / unTIL the ROUNDabout ⤴ ?
  • 拖长点straight。确认核心指令时,这个词要读得坚定且长,表示“一直走”。
  • 连读/弱读should 弱读到只剩 /ʃəd/;until the 读成 un-TIL-ðə
  • 语调:最后 roundabout 明显上扬,像是在地图上指着那个点问“是这里吗?”。

句子 4

B: Precisely. After reaching the roundabout, you will only need to follow the curve until you see the hospital directly ahead of you.

PreCISEly ⤵ // . AFter REACHing the ROUNDabout ⤴ / , you w(ill) ONly NEED / t(o) FOllow the CURVE / unTIL you SEE the HOSpital / diRECTly aHEAD‿(o)f you ⤵ .
  • 关键词处理Precisely 是肯定的巅峰,CISE 音节语调陡降,显得专业且确定。
  • 连读/弱读ahead of you 连读成 a-HEA-da-vju
  • 状态:像是一个经验丰富的向导,语气安稳,在 directly ahead 时放慢速度确保听众听清。

🧩 技巧:多音节词强弱拆解 (Word Stress)

关键:“一个核心,多个碎影”。一个音节是主角(强),其余都是配角(弱)。

  • 1. IN-ter-SEC-tion (/ˌɪntəˈsekʃn/)
    拆解:IN (次强) + ter (弱) + SEC (最强) + tion (极弱)
    这是一个“阶梯词”。从 IN 开始,中间 ter 降下去,到 SEC 冲到最高峰,最后 tion 顺势滑落。
  • 2. ROUND-a-bout (/ˈraʊndəbaʊt/)
    拆解:ROUND (强) + a (极弱) + bout (弱)
    重音在头。中间的 a 弱化成中央元音 /ə/。读这个词时舌头绕一圈再收回来,模拟转盘的形状。
  • 3. Pre-CISE-ly (/prɪˈsaɪsli/)
    拆解:pre (弱) + CISE (强) + ly (中)
    pre- 读得越短,越能显出 CISE 的果断感。注意中间是清辅音 /s/,不要读成 /z/。

💡 课堂教学小技巧:长句的“断气”与“续命”

我们来“微量呼吸法”

  1. 在意群斜杠 / 处,只做停顿不呼吸(憋气)。
  2. 在双斜杠 // 处,进行短促偷气

学会通过憋气(Stop T)来保持句子的“流动感”,而不是在每个单词后面都换一次气,导致语流破碎。

语法分析

A: I'm trying to locate... Could you possibly guide me...?

"I'm trying to" 是现在进行时,表示当前正在进行的动作。"Could you possibly" 是一种极其礼貌的请求方式,比 "Can you" 更正式委婉。

B: Proceed along this avenue until you reach...

"Proceed" 是比 "walk" 更正式的用词。"Until you reach" 引导时间状语从句,指明动作终止的时刻。

A: Does that mean I should follow... without making any turns...?

"Does that mean" 用于确认理解是否正确。"Without making any turns" 中 "without" 是介词,后面接动名词 "making"。

B: You will only need to follow the curve...

"You will only need to" (你只需要) 是一种减轻对方心理负担的表达,表示剩下的步骤很简单。
