2018年上半年教师资格证面试正在进行中，根据学员的反馈中学英语 意群与停顿 难倒了补上同学。那么，小助手就为大家整理了相关内容。接下来考英语面试的同学快来看看吧！

英语口语的意群与停顿

I. 绕口令练习

1.A big black bug bit the back of a big black bear. The big black bear bit back the big black bug.

2. This fish has a thin fin; that fish has a fat fin; this fish is a fish that has a thinner fin than that fish.

思考：不注意节奏和停顿会造成哪些问题？

A.按照中文的思维习惯，随心所欲把句子“大卸八块”；

B.练习肺活量，一句话从头连到尾不喘气；

II．如何把握英语朗读的节奏与停顿？

英语句子也有自己拆分的规则。要把握好节奏和停顿，必须了解英语的意群和停顿。

A. 意群 (Sense-group)

一个句子可以是一个语调组,但语调组并不等于一个句子。小于句子的语音单位是意群。意群是句子内部有相对完整意义的一组词。既然有一定的意义, 就必然有表征一定意义的某种语调类型。

B. 停顿(Pause)

在一个较长的句子中, 如果按意群来读, 意群之间稍加停顿, 就可以让听者听清我们语流中的意群和句子, 也可以喘一口气, 接着再说, 而且能体现出英语所特有的节奏和韵律, 但是在一个意群中不可停顿。

C．停顿的方法

语言虽然是一个一个音组成的, 但不是一个音一个音或一个词一个词吐出来的, 而是一组一组, 一群一群相互密切联系的意群组合。意群之间可以由好几个单词组成, 也可以只是一个单词组成。意群和意群之间可以有微弱的停顿（但不一定要停顿）。为了在朗读或说话时把意群很好地联系在一起, 就需要恰当的停顿, 拖音或连读来一气呵成。至于意群之间停顿的频率问题, 这就要看讲话或朗读的速度, 讲得慢时停顿就多些, 反之就少些。

示例：

里根总统第二任就职演说词:"We must do what we know is right, and do it with all our might." (我们必须做我们知道是正确的事,而且要全力去做。) 决不能读成"We/must/do/what/ we/know/is right,/and do/it with all/our might."

长句中有短暂的停顿, 藉以调和呼吸, 这是自然的现象, 但停顿的地方必须恰到好处。 通常在: 1.有标点符号的地方; 2.词组或思想单元之间。短语, 从句等思想单元（即意群）成一单位, 但它们之间可以短暂停顿。例如:"We must do/what we know is right,/and do it/with all our might.(斜线为可以稍做停顿之处).

小窍门： 有人曾对停顿时间的长短提出过一个大致的比例:意群之间如没有标点符号, 停半拍; 有逗号处停一拍; 有分号处停两拍; 有句号处停三拍。 当然不一定这么机械, 但大致上还应有一个适当的停顿时间比例。
