音控必看9部电影网尽各式英国口音~

作为英语学习者，大家肯定少不了听美国的VOA，英国的BBC啦！小天知道大家一般都会纠结自己是学英音还是学美音呢？其实，英国和美国都没有官方语言的。我们平常学的英音叫做标准发音RP（Received Pronunciation），也叫女王口音，就是新概念和以前的BBC 所用的口音，是世界公认的标准英文中最标准的。据说在英国说RP的英语，可以彰显说话者的社会地位和教育程度。

据英国《每日邮报》报道，一项调查显示，英式标准发音与90%的积极性格特征相关，比如高智商、有魅力、有教养和值得信赖。它的唯一一项弱点在于幽默感不足，在所有方言中仅排名第11位。

不管这个调查怎么说，RP仍然是最受广大群众喜爱的语音。小天曾看到一个说法，为什么大家都喜欢RP呢，因为在英剧中，凡是长得帅的都说一口标准的RP。所以大家就喜欢啦！不过今天呢，小天可不介绍RP，我要来介绍一下在哪些电影中可以学到其他魅力十足的口音！据英国的音控们说，有很多口音比RP更迷人呢！

南方口音（Southern Accents）

南方口音比较接近标准英语，容易听懂，南方人说话方式比较慢，性格比较溫和，也很礼貌，音调也趋于平缓。南方口音主要分为英格兰中南部口音，标准口音和伦敦口音。

1.Four Weddings and a Funeral《四个婚礼和一个葬礼》

The archetype Hugh Grant romance, Four Weddings made British romantic comedies a massive international success. The robust cast represent the classy, well-spoken members of British society. It also contains some American, for a little contrast.

这部剧是休·格兰特式浪漫的原型，也造就了英国爱情喜剧在国际上的巨大成功。格兰特代表了举止优雅，谈吐文雅的英国人。这部剧也有一些美国人，有那么一点儿对比作用。

2. Love Actually is an ensemble《真爱至上》

Continuing the Four Weddings vibe, Love Actually is an ensemble film - meaning it has a vast range of characters. Contains various English accents and some well-spoken Irish （from Liam Neeson）.

继《四个婚礼》的氛围，《真爱至上》是一部群星电影——就是说它有一大串演员（因为这部剧是10个爱情故事窜成的喜剧杂烩）。包含了各种各样的英国口音和一些优美的爱尔兰口音（来自连姆·尼森）。

3. Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels《两杆大烟枪》

The opposite extreme to Four Weddings, the film that started a modern movement of British gangster comedies, Lock Stock…has a range of horrible people talking in a range of dirty London accents. Plus two from Liverpool.

与《四个婚礼》相反，这部电影引起了英国黑帮电影的现代运动。《两杆大烟枪》讲述了一群可怕的人说着一系列伦敦口音的脏话。另外，有两个人来自利物浦。（利物浦是以前英国的第一大港口，外来人口的混杂，形成利物浦口音Scouse）Midlands and the North Accents中北部口音

英格兰中北部包括曼彻斯特、利兹、利物浦等地所说的英语都属于此类。约克郡郊区也有类似的口音。

4. The Full Monty《一脱到底》

Dealing with the depressed industrial communities, The Full Monty is both a charming comedy and an effective portrait of 80s' Sheffield.

《一脱到底》讲述的是面对不景气的工业的故事，它既是精彩绝伦的喜剧，也呈现出80年代谢菲尔德（英格兰北部城市）的真实景象。

5. This is England《这就是英格兰》

Another gritty look at 80s England, this film has a mix of midlands accents and one very strong Liverpool accent. Shane Meadows' other films contain further midlands accents, Dead Man’s Shoes is a particularly good dark comedy.

另一个关于80年代的英国值得一看的电影，它里面混杂着各种中部地区口音和一个很浓的利物浦口音。西恩·迈德斯的其他电影包含更多的中部地区口音，《死人的鞋子》就是一部非常棒的黑色喜剧。

6. 24 Hour Party People《24小时派对狂》

A history lesson in music, 24 Hour Party People charts the success of the Manchester music scene in the 70s. Steve Coogan, the star, may not be entirely representative of Northern accents, but the supporting cast certainly are.

你可以把《24小时派对狂》看作是一堂音乐历史课，它重现了在70年代曼彻斯特的音乐成功历程。明星史蒂夫·库根可能不是典型的北方口音，但影片中的配角绝对是。

Scottish Accents苏格兰口音

苏格兰口音在英国口音里是很特别的一个口音，格拉斯哥口音是苏格兰口音的代表，男人说话听起来很沧桑，很性感，非常有味道。他们有特别的腔调，特别是很多不用升调的地方，都用了升调，一个正常的语调在你完全想不到的地方突然升了上去，非常有跳跃感和节奏，像唱歌一样。这让苏格兰口音一下子就从英国口音里独立出来了，非常有特色，很容易记住。

7. Braveheart《勇敢的心》

Again the lead's not Scottish, but the fine supporting cast are, and it's an epic historical tale. Aside from watching it for the Scottish, it's worth watching for Patrick McGoohan as the wicked king of England.

这个也是，主角不是苏格兰人，但配角是。这是一个史诗般的历史故事。除了看苏格兰人，帕特里克·麦高汉也是值得一看的，他扮演一位恶毒的英格兰国王（爱德华一世，又称长腿爱德华）。

8. Trainspotting《猜火车》

Madcap, brutal and good fun, Trainspotting will really test your ability to understand the Scottish accent. For something a little softer, you might consider other films starring Ewan McGregor, where he’s allowed to use his own accent. Like A Life Less Ordinary.

狂妄、残酷、有趣，《猜火车》真的可以测试你对苏格兰口音的理解能力，考虑到一些更温和的东西，你可以看伊万·麦克格雷格主演的其他被允许用自己口音的电影，像《天使爱情鸟笼伴》。

Irish Accents爱尔兰口音

爱尔兰说话音调习惯性上扬，且音调转换幅度大。比伦敦人语速要快，多数Irish说话对中国人来说算口齿比较模糊。

9. In Bruges《杀手没有假期》

Solid Irish accents from the two leads, and a London accent from Ralph Fiennes as a bonus. And a great, quirky film.

纯正的爱尔兰口音来自两位主角，拉尔夫·费因斯的伦敦口音简直就是一个额外的惊喜。这是一部杰出而离奇诡异的电影。

(完整word版)吴伟仁--英国文学史及选读--名词解释

①Beowulf: The national heroic epic of the English people. It has over 3,000 lines. It describes the battles between the two monsters and Beowulf, who won the battle finally and dead for the fatal wound. The poem ends with the funeral of the hero. The most striking feature in its poetical form is the use if alliteration. Other features of it are the use of metaphors(暗喻) and of understatements(含蓄). ②Alliteration: In alliterative verse, certain accented(重音) words in a line begin with the same consonant sound(辅音). There are generally 4accents in a line, 3 of which show alliteration, as can be seen from the above quotation. ③Romance: The most prevailing(流行的) kind of literature in feudal England was the Romance. It was a long composition, sometimes in verse(诗篇), sometimes in prose(散文), describing the life and adventures of a noble hero, usually a knight, as riding forth to seek adventures, taking part in tournament(竞赛), or fighting for his lord in battle and the swearing of oaths. ④Epic: An epic is a lengthy narrative poem, ordinarily concerning a serious subject containing details of heroic deeds and events significantly to a culture or nation. The first epics are known as primacy, or original epics. ⑤Ballad: The most important department of English folk literature is the ballad which is a story told in song, usually in 4-line stanzas(诗节), with the second and fourth lines rhymed. The subjects of ballads are various in kind, as the struggle of young lovers against their feudal-minded families, the conflict between love and wealth, the cruelty of jealousy, the criticism of the civil war, and the matters and class struggle. The paramount(卓越的) important ballad is Robin Hood(《绿林好汉》). ⑥Geoffrey Chaucer杰弗里.乔叟: He was an English author, poet, philosopher and diplomat. He is the founder of English poetry. He obtained a good knowledge of Latin, French and Italian. His best remembered narrative is the Canterbury Tales(《坎特伯雷故事集》), which the Prologue(序言) supplies a miniature(缩影) of the English society of Chaucer’s time. That is why Chaucer has been called “the founder of English realism”. Chaucer affirms men and women’s right to pursue their happiness on earth and opposes(反对) the dogma of asceticism(禁欲主义) preached(鼓吹) by the church. As a forerunner of humanism, he praises man’s energy, intellect, quick wit and love of life. Chaucer’s contribution to English poetry lies chiefly in the fact that he introduced from France the rhymed stanza of various types, especially the rhymed couplet of 5 accents in iambic(抑扬格) meter(the “heroic couplet”) to English poetry, instead of the old Anglo-Saxon alliterative verse. ⑦【William Langland威廉.朗兰: Piers the Plowman《农夫皮尔斯》】

入住英国酒店小常识

入住英国酒店小常识 英国是一个令人心驰神往的地方，不管是古建筑还是科学技术，又或者是服装美食都是很诱惑人的，于是很很多的人都在外出旅游的时候选择区英国，但是还是有很多的人不知道英国的一些住宿的注意事项，现在我就给大家介绍一下！ 英国的饭店种类繁多。有排满双层床的宿舍式旅店（如青年旅店系列），也有以前仅供阿拉伯王公使用的超高档饭店的总统套间，游客可任意挑选。其实，英伦全岛的饭店亦是星罗棋布，数目众多，足够游客投宿。步骤/方法 关于预定房间。在英国，一般不需要提前数目预订房间，当然，艺术节期间的爱丁堡及一些古城堡饭店例外。在自己想游览的城镇中，找到适合自己爱好的旅店，支付自己可以接受的价格便可住宿。 关于住宿费。游人可以自己交涉，也可以请咨询处帮忙，但一定要在入住之前确实解决好这个问题。首先，要向对方讲清楚自己要住哪类房型；知道房价后还要询问此价格中是否含有早餐费（B＆B除外）。此外，特别是在都市饭店中结账时，对方常会要求另付 VTA（即17.5％的消费税），所以入住时还要核实住宿费中是否含有VTA。还有，一般饭店不会另收诸如淋浴、电视、供暖等额外的费用，但以询问清楚为妙。 在伦敦等大城市，办理人住手续、定下房间后常常需要先付房费。而在乡下则一般在退房结账时支付。似乎大城市更不相信人。注意，入住付账时勿忘索取收据！ 再介绍一下旅馆的主要类型：

Inn（旅馆） 当coach还是指代马车的时候，这种一层为酒馆、二层为住宿的旅馆曾遍及全英，但只能在乡下见到了。此外，“Inn”访时还特指某些特别意思的历史悠久的古建筑，而并非旅馆。 世事艰难，许多旅馆虽仍称inn，保留了建筑外观的原貌，但为了生存下去，纷纷进行豪华的内装修，改为高档饭店。这种inn虽价格偏高，但却很适于充分体味英国特有的氛围。 Guesthouse（客店） 该类客店又称 Private Hotel（私人饭店），多是家中将儿女的房间腾空后向客人出租的经营性家庭型饭店。房间数均不多，但服务周到热情。大多客店的住宿费中均含有早餐费，相对来说，这类客店的条件较B＆B 优越，价格则差不多。 Bed＆Breakfast （B＆B旅店） B＆B旅店是英国独特的住宿设施，很受游客欢迎。如果您喜爱英国的传统与文化，想多了解英国人，那就一定要到B＆B来住宿。虽然在伦敦，每人$30以下的B＆B已越来越难找了，但乡下却仍是平民性的旅店居多，一般每人$12左右起价。值得写上一笔的是，这种旅店提供丰盛的英式早餐。虽在伦敦等大城市的B＆B中，常常只提供吐司与红茶、广州酒店预订：咖啡之类的大陆式早餐，但在乡间，9成以上的B＆B却可让您享受到丰盛味美的早餐。 此外，有一些B＆B不挂任何招牌，您最好事先在当地的咨询处询问清楚，或直接向当地人打听。能住到普通人家里也是极为有趣的。

英国文学史及选读2017期末复习名词解释中英

名词解释 ENGLISH LITERATURE--DEFINITION OF TERMS 1 were passed down from generation to generation. 3) Robin Hood is a famous ballad singing the goods of Robin Hood. Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is a 19th century English ballad. 2Critical Realism of the 19th century flourished in the forties and in the beginning of fifties.2)The realists first and foremost set themselves the task of criticizing capitalist society from a democratic viewpoint and delineated the crying contradictions of bourgeois reality. But they did not find a way to eradicate social evils.3) Charles Dickens is the most important critical realist. 3With the advent of the 18th century, in England, as in other European countries, there sprang into life a public movement known as the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment on the whole, was an expression of struggle of the then progressive class of bourgeois against feudalism. The social inequality, stagnation, prejudices and other survivals of feudalism. They attempted to place all branches of science at the service of mankind by connecting them with the actual deeds and requirements of the people. 启蒙主义：启蒙主义是在18世纪在英国发生的。总体上，启蒙主义是当时的资产阶级对封建主义，社会的不平等、死寂、偏见和其他的封建残余的一种反对。通过将科学的各个分支与人民的日常生活和需要联系起来，启蒙主义者们努力将他们变成为人民大众服务的工具 4-of-Consciousness” or “interior monologue”, is one of the modern literary techniques. It is the style of writing that attempts to imitate the natural flow of a character’s thoughts, feelings, reflections, memories, and mental images as the character experiences them. It was first used in 1922 by the Irish novelist James Joyce. Those novels broke through the bounds of time and space, and depicted vividly and skillfully the unconscious activity of the mind fast changing and flowing incessantly, particularly the hesitant, misted, distracted and illusory psychology people had when they faced reality. The modern American writer William Faulkner successfully advanced this technique. In his stories, action and plots were less important than the reactions and inner musings of the narrators. Time sequences were often dislocated. The reader feels himself to be a participant in the stories, rather than an observer. A high degree of emotion can be achieved by this technique.

吴伟仁的英国文学史及选读

History and Anthology of English Literature Part One The Anglo-Saxon Period Beowulf Questions: 1.The earliest literature falls into two divisions ___________, and_______________. 2.Christianity brings England not only __________ and___________but also the wealth of a new language. 3.Who is Beowulf? And What is Beowulf? 4.How did Beowulf come into being? 5.Who is Grendel? And what is the result of Grendel?s fight with Beowulf? 6.How did the Jutes hold the funeral for him? Key points of this part: The most important work of old English literature is Beowulf------- the national epic of the English people. It is of Germanic heritage, perhaps the greatest Germanic epic and contains evidently pre-Christian elements existing at first in an oral tradition, the poem was passed from mouth to mouth for generations before it was written down. The manuscript preserved today was written in the Wessex tongue about 1000A.D., consisting altogether of 3183 lines. There are three episodes related to the career of Beowulf: 1.the fight with the monster, Grendel. 2.The fight with Grendel?s mother, a still more frightful she-monster. 3.The moral combat with the fire Dragon. The significance lies in the vivid portrayal of a great national hero, who is brave, courageous, selfless, and ever helpful to his people. There are three important features:: 1.Alliteration (words beginning with the same consonant sound). This is characteristic of all old English verse. 2.Metaphors and understatements. There are many compound words used in the poem to serve as indirect metaphors that are sometimes very picturesque. , e.g. “riging-giver”is used for King; “hearth-companions “for his attendant warriors; “Whale?s road” for the sea; “spear-fighter” for soldier etc. And as understatement we can see: “not troublesome”for welcome; “need not praise”for a right to condemn.

英国留学生活注意常识 1.交通规则——靠左行驶 在英国驾车是靠左行。步行要先看右面再看左面。初来乍到，上街时很容易忘记这一点，看错了方向，结果发现一辆车迎面向你驶来。 虽然随时随意横穿马路(Jay Walking)在英国是合法的，但人们一般都会等人行过街交通灯变绿后再穿越马路。跟中国不一样的是，英国开车很少按喇叭，除非是非常生气或者严重的事情。 2.多用礼貌用语 在英国，你会发现人们说“请”和“谢谢”的时候比在中国多很多，而且朋友之间也常常用这两个词。使用这些礼貌用语已经成为我们文化的元素。所以。要是不小心撞碰了比人，即使是在地铁上，绝大部分人会很自然地说“对不起”。 3.饮食习惯大不同 在英国喝茶、喝咖啡很多，但进餐时通常喝冷饮料。与中国文化不同的，英国人并不觉得喝热水或热饮料一定有益健康。所以大学校园里没有灌热水的地方，只能看到出凉水的龙头。 即使英国各地都有中国人开的非常正宗的中餐馆，当你的英国朋友说他们吃过中餐时，他们所说的很可能是“英式中餐外卖”，比如炸虾片和柠檬鸡。大城市里有中国超市，你可以在那里买到需要的各种烹饪原料、调味品和锅碗瓢勺。从火锅到电饭锅，一应俱全。但你要是住在比较靠近乡村的地方，一定别忘了从中国带些自己喜欢的各色食品，但是英国海关对旅客携带某些食品入境有严格规定，注意了解这些规定。 另一件需要注意的是就餐时间和量。在英国，晚餐通常比午餐正式，吃得也多。午餐一般就是个三明治，工作休息也就一个小时到半小时之间，这跟中国大部分习惯的热呼呼的午餐相差很大。 4.交通出行 大城市里一般当街招手叫出租车都不便宜，乘公共交通工具要便宜得多。如果真需要出租车，一般都打电话订“小出租车”(mimi cab)，这种小出租车比较便宜，但是一定要是合法登记的出租车公司。 英国坐火车最简便的方法是网上订票。25岁以下的学生还可以买一张学生优惠火车卡(railcard)。凭这张卡买火车票还有折扣。 5.人际交往要采取主动(making efforts)
