实不相瞒，Tara 老师我是一个绕口令狂热爱好者，以前学英文时，会找各式各样的绕口令(tongue twister)练习发音，反复练习也能让自己说英文时嘴皮子更灵活。慢慢地我发现，搜到的英文绕口令大全都是特别简短的，它们根本不能满足我的需求，比如以下这几个：

A big black bug bit a big black bear, made the big black bear bleed blood.

这首只是练习失去爆破（不完全爆破）

▼

There are three thisrty thinkers, thinking about sinking.

这首主要练习 /th/ 这个音

▼

Peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,a peck of pickled peppers peter piper picked.if peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. where's the peck of pickled peppers peter piper picked？

这首练习辅音 + 元音的连读和一点失去爆破

这些绕口令对于语音的练习比较有针对性，但缺点是比较短，练完不会有种酣畅淋漓的感觉，不够酸爽。

终于，被我找到一首绕口令，它够长，连读够密集，词够难，让我爱不释口，它是这样的：

There once was a woman named Uma Mona Newman

She made many mini-cinnamon M&Ms

One month for the milleninium

I heard she made a minimum of at least a million of them

And made some of them feminine

She made them with illuminated aluminum chrysanthemums

with a minimum of cinnamon

made by a man from Richmond

She was commonly nominated

for her M&Ms that demonstrated

abdominally sophisticated

and perfectly administrated perfection that was indicated

By the times that it was imitated

but not completely duplicated

by the many who insinuated

the complexity was overstated

But finally they were most persuaded

Though to admit it yes they hated

that she had a gift most underrated

of making the M&Ms they appreciated

可能你会发现有些看不懂，或者觉得意思很奇怪，但这不重要，它的主要目是为了绕口、练嘴，所以不必纠结意思。觉得有用的生词，记一下就好，我在这里标注一下偏难的词汇：

cinnamon 肉桂

milleninium 千禧年

feminine 娇柔的，女性化的

illuminated 被照亮的

aluminum 铝

chrysanthemums 菊花

mininum 最少的

nominate 提名

demonstrate呈现，展示

abdominal 腹部的

sophisticated 精致的

duplicate 复制

insinuate 暗示

overstate 夸张

underrated 低估

重点来了，刚刚我在举例短绕口令时，说了一些连读形式，大家可能还有点懵，现在我来系统地解释一下，什么是辅元连读，什么是失去爆破。

辅元连读

就是辅音 + 元音的连读，它们拼起来可以发作一个音（可以结合中文拼音声母和韵母来理解），我知道很多学生元辅音都不熟，且认为元音只有五个，由于篇幅关系，我就翻个白眼直接贴图吧。

比如"this is"这两个单词，this 结尾音是 /s/，是辅音，is 的开头音 /i/，是个元音，它俩合起来可以拼成一个音节 si，所以你在连读这两个单词时，应该是读成 thisis, 听上去就像是一个单词。

我们来举更多例子：

think it over: 连读起来是 thinkitover

first of all: 连读起来是 firstofall

put it on: 连读起来是 putiton

了解了这个连读形式后，大家可以试着找一找绕口令里所有的辅元连读，再和下面这个标注好好对照一下：

There once was a woman named Uma Mona Newman

She made many mini-cinnamon M&Ms （M and Ms, m的音标是 /em/）

One month for the milleninium

I heard she made a（e 不发音） minimum of at least a million of them

And made some of （e 不发音）them feminine

She made them with illuminated aluminum chrysanthemums

with a minimum of cinnamon

made by a man from Richmond

She was commonly nominated

for her M&Ms that demonstrated

abdominally sophisticated

and perfectly administrated perfection that was indicated

By the times that it was imitated

but not completely duplicated

by the many who insinuated

the complexity was overstated

But finally they were most persuaded

Though to admit it yes they hated

that she had a gift most underrated

of making the M&Ms they appreciated

请失去爆破

/p/ /b/ /t/ /d/ /k/ /g/ + 非元音 = 失去爆破/不完全爆破。

举例：old friends，第一个单词结尾音是 /d/，friends 的开头音 /f/，这是一个辅音，即它是个非元音，所以产生失去爆破，意思就是 /d/ 的发音可以很轻很轻甚至不读。

再举几个例子：

同样的，大家可以找出所有绕口令里的失去爆破，再和下面这个标注好的对照一下：

如果上面这些你都没搞懂，也没关系，重要的是实际操练，我已经为大家准备好了慢速版和快速版朗读版，你需要做的就是：模仿狂读800遍，你的语音一定会进步！因为这首绕口令包括大部分的语音现象（连读、弱读等），也能练习到一些容易读错的单词，比如带有 th 的单词。

不要小看这种练习的作用，我可以负责任地说，模仿 + 重复是改善发音的必经之路，而发音是雅思托福口语考试里逃不掉的评分标准，发音差，再好的内容也出不来。所以，快点练起来吧！
