20、.,3.掌握电影里英语口语的风格与特征1,Loose structure, incomplete sentence; Get the picture? Do you understand? G0 pee-pee 去尿尿 Simple word. Unconscious pause and frequent repetitions; full of jargons and slang 语言跳跃幅度大 Its on the house. Its free of charge. He went to the john a few minutes ago.（他在几分钟前上了厕所。),电影里英语口语的风
21、格与特征2,Change in the tempo有语速变化,经常出现语音弱读 连读情况liaison;Wait, I wanna ask you a question! Body language, real-life situations有语言肢体动作;有具体的语境; Unhand her, knave! 你这无赖,放开她!,4.充分利用英文剧本,1)电影对白都是口语式的英文，说话简练，而且不同的语言环境有不同的用词，这对于擅长英语语法的中国人来讲，困难较大，听不明白的地方非常多.有了英文剧本即时查阅对照，就可了解各语言环境下的用词发音及语调，掌握单词、词组的用法，使得问题即时得到解决.,
22、剧本的作用,2). 在电影中遇到的很多在课本中见不到的一些惯用词汇、词组、成语，更贴近生活，对学习新的单词大有帮助。 3). 剧本除了用作看电影时查阅对照外，还可单独用来阅读，对读者的阅读理解能力也会大有益处。,5.精看听与广泛看相结合,在跟电影学英语时，有些观众只看不听，或只听不看；只泛不精，或只精不泛，以致看了一些英文电影，听和说没有本质的提高。,概述：影视学习四原则,1、融入原则：不要把自己看成旁观者，而要是当成局内人看待，要与角色同呼吸、共命运，产生场景感觉。2、扩展和量的原则：首先要在词汇和句式层面上扩展；其次是在此基础上，“泛看”电影，电影题材可以不受很大限制，但每部影片都至少要看
23、三遍以上。,影视学习四原则,3、突破/模仿原则：以听说为突破口关键在于模仿，模仿不能离开背诵，熟练直到能脱口而出。 4、挖掘原则：不能仅限于看懂表面意思，而是要透过现象看本质，去挖掘语言背后深刻的文化内涵，变被动为主动，以此达到听说的最高境界。,Websites for the script,www.script-o- P132 www.screentalk.org http:/ http:/ http:/ to Little Princess,Background knowledge: World War I; Function of Imagination in Saras Life,
