字號:

There are great impediments to the general use of a standard in pronun-ciation comparable to that existing in spelling (orthography). One is the fact that pronunciation is learnt ‘naturally’ and unconsciously, and orthography __1__is learnt deliberately and consciously. Large numbers of us, in fact, remain  throughout our lives quite unconscious with what our speech sounds __2__like when we speak out, and it often comes as a shock when we __3__firstly hear a recording of ourselves. It is not a voice we recognize at once, __4__whereas our own handwriting is something which we almost always know. We __5__begin the ‘natural’ learning of pronunciation long before we start learning to read or write, and in our early years we went on unconsciously imitating and __6__practicing the pronunciation of those around us for many more hours per every __7__day than we ever have to spend learning even our difficult English spelling.
    This is ‘ natural’, therefore, that our speech-sounds should be those of our im- __8__mediate circle; after all, as we have seen, speech operates a means of holding a community and to give a sense of ‘belonging’. We learn quite early to recognize a __9__‘stranger’, someone who speaks with an accent of a different community—perhaps only a few miles far. __10__
     答案:
    1將and改為whereas/but/yet
    2 將with改為of。unconscious of 是固定搭配。
    3 刪掉out。speak out 意思為“大膽地說”,“大聲地說”,與此處意思不符。
    4將firstly改為first
    5將which改為that或者將which刪掉。限制性定語從句前面的先行詞是something,因此要用that引導(dǎo)定語從句。也可以將which刪掉,不用任何引導(dǎo)詞。
    6將went改為go
    7刪掉per或者every
    8將This改為It。It在此處做形式主語,后面的that從句是真正的主語。
    9 在community后面加together。此處的大意為“語音是把社區(qū)團(tuán)結(jié)在一起的工具”。
    10將far改為away?!爸挥袔子⒗镞h(yuǎn)”應(yīng)是 a few miles away。
