我们来听听北美最红主播崔娃 Trevor Noah 是怎么吐槽最火段子手特朗普的吧 —— 当然是和前任比一比喽。
是不是光顾着看字幕笑了？那么请打开视频再听一遍，尽可能地把每一个字都听清楚。然后再往下看。
我把视频文本下写在下面，其中特意用“
”标注了容易听错的地方。这次你可以边听边看文本。
Now, the White House keeps trying to reassure people that more tests are coming, but every time Trumps trys to
[1] calm the nation
down. I felt like he does the exact opposite.
[1]
calm the nation，你有没有听成 combination？
Focus! This is where you need presidential. This is one of those moments where I wish Obama could come back, you know. I wish Barack Obama could come back, not as President. I am not trying to mess with the Constitution,
[2]
just saying
they should hire Obama to handle press briefings.
[2]
just saying 说的非常快，不看文本你能听出来？
You know.
[3]Because whe
ther
you agree with his policies or not,you have to admit Barack Obama did his thing. He knew how to calm everybody down.
[3]
崔娃其实说的是 'cause whether, 但是语速很快，能听出来吗？
He
'
d [4]
just come out
[5]and
be like:"
[6]All right
everybody, this is what's going to happen.
All right
, We are going to get the testing. All the
[7]kits
. We're gonna isolate the virus. We're gonna beat this thing and we're gonna isolate the virus and we're gonna beat this thing."
[4]
He'd = he would
[5]
and 几乎没发音
[6]
两个 all right 发音都很轻
[7]
有没有把 kits 当成 kids？
"In the meantime, if you want something comforting to binge at home. A lot of people are watching TV. If you want to
[8]watch
something, you can watch the first eight years of my presidency. That's a rerun that never gets old. The best part is in season 2, when I go after Bin Laden. Spoiler Alert: he doesn't make it. "
[8]
watch 读音非常含糊
Actually I felt like Obama takes so long to finish a sentence. It might make social distancing fly by. Like, right now, we're like," Oh,
[9]we are going to be
here for months." If Obama speaks, "
[10]We
've gotta
be safe." And we're like, "Wow, it's August already. I guess we can go outside now. Thanks, Obama."
[9]
we are going to 读速非常快
[10]
we've gotta
借着这则视频，我想简单谈一谈在听力中，有哪些对我们中国人而言比较难把握的点。这篇帖子纯属个人经验分享，是我个人精听遇到一些问题的归纳。
1. 有时候听不明白某个词是正常的，需要结合上下文明确。比如本文第[7]，如果单听 all the kits，即便是一个老外也可能会犹豫到底是 kids 还是 kits，因为优先给孩子检测也能说得通。但是继续听，根据意思马上就可以排除掉kids，应该是指测试盒 kits。这一类的问题，只要能把握住文章大意，就不会犯错。类似还有第[1]，肯定有人听成 combination，但这都不用往下听，根据意思都能立马纠正成 calm the nation。如果你做不到，就是词汇和基本的阅读能力问题。
2. 语速快时，句子开头往往很难听懂。
这一点在较正式的口语中，比如新闻等，并不是很明显，但在日常口语中非常明显。开头的词越短（比如that, it, and），越是虚词（例如just, because）就越容易弱读
、
连读。比如本文第[2] just saying 说快了，就变成了 ju-saying，对还在练耳朵的人很不友好；比如第[3] because whether 读得又快又弱，不知道你自己能不能听出来？
3. 辨别每个人的语言习惯。每个人的习惯截然不同，比如欧美名媛说话的时候喜欢 literally，you know……，而奥巴马就喜欢 All right，而且说的很快，你需要迅速识别并辨别出来，减少这些噪音对你的影响。
4. 英语中的 and 经常被弱读为 /'n/。其实你去听第[5]，几乎完全听不出有个and。and的弱读在口语中太常见了，需要结合句子和语法去判断（熟练后就不需要判断了）。
4. 口语句子开头的某些固定搭配
这一类表达在口语中非常常见，因为是固定表达，说的往往会非常快。如果不熟悉，就会造成困扰，比如第[4]，he'd 读快了d 就不会爆破，而只有微妙的停顿，如果不熟悉，往往会造成困扰。
