years．I still find pronunciation very hard．Do
you think I should aim to speak English

most learners,it is not necessary to speak

Sarah：But 1 want to be an interpreter after gradua-
tion．I think pronunciation is quite important
for me． ’
Bill：That’s true．For those who want to be

一
Sarah：I．find some children do not want to speak
English with a native—speaker pronunciation．
BiII：I n general,children can imitate strange
sounds very easily well．However．it is true
that most children do not want to sound
“English"when they are speaking English．
Sarah：Yes．I found that too.I iust wonder why
they don’t want to sound“English．’’
Bill：I think the main reason is that most of
them want to belong to a group．Even if a
child can speak English like a native．speak．
er,he or she wilI usually choose not to—
unless the rest of the group speak with a
native—speak pronunciation．
Sarah：Adults usually find pronunciation very diffi—
cult,though they try very hard to imitate
the native—speaker pronunciation．
Bill：Many reasons have been offered for the
difficulties which many adults find with pro．．
nunciation．But if an adult really wants to a—
chieve a native—speaker pronunciation,he
or she can．
Sarah：Really．This encourage me greatly．But I still
find it’s hard for adults．I don’t know why．
Bill：I think the main reason is that adult
students have a strong sense of nationa l i—
dentity．
Sarah：A sense of national identity．I don’t quite
understand it．
Bill：Thevy want to identified as a German or
Brazilian speaking English．In my opinion,
this sense of national identity is mOre im—
portant than other explanations,such as the
greater anxiety of adults or the effect Of
their own language habits．
sarah：Maybe you are right．Anyway,1 wilItry to
perfect my English pronunciatiOn．

Sarah: 我学英语都快六年了,仍感觉发音非常难学.你觉得我是不是应该重点学习地道的英语发音?
BILL：我认为在学习英语最重要的是让人听得懂.对大多数学生来说,没必要的和外国人的发单完全一样.
SARAH：但我想毕业后做个口语翻译,我想发音对我来说非常重要.
BILL：那也对,对于想成为教师或口语翻译的人来说,纯正的发音是必须要达到的目标.
SARAH：我发现有些孩子并不想学习地道的英语发音.
BILL：一般来说,孩子可以非常容易的模仿出特殊的发音.然而,大部分孩子说英语的时候的确不想发音太“英语化”.
SARAH：是啊,我也发现了.我总想弄明白为什么他们不想发音听起来特别“英国”
BILL：我想主要是大外数孩子都想和大家一样.即使有孩子能说得和外国人发音一样,他也会选择不去那么说,除非其他孩子也和他一样有地道的英语发音.
SARAH：成人大多会发现发音非常难学,尽管他们都非常努力的模仿地道的发音.
BILL：关于模仿发音困难的问题已经发现了很多原因,但如果一个成人的确想掌握地道的发音是能够做到的.
SARAH：真的吗,这可真是给我信心了.但我还觉得对成人来说挺难道的,我也不知道为什么.
BILL：我想主要是因为成人学生有很强的母语音素感.
SARAH：母语音素感?我不太明白.
BILL：就像一下子能听出一个德国人还是巴西人讲英语一样.在我看来,这种母语的音素感是最好的解释为什么成人不易学地道的发音.其它的如成人学英语没耐必或者很难改变语言习惯都不是主要的原因.
SARAH：也许你是对的,不管怎么说,我都要尽努力让我的发音更地道
