注:
以下内容在自己的基础上多处根据史妍的 I Have a Dream 晨读笔记 一文查漏补缺,修订与补充而成(然而还没有她详细和归纳整理得清晰...),向史妍学习~

平行结构,用词讲究。例如 This is no timeto engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. 时间紧、任务急,我们要彻底的变化,不要三分钟热血。the luxury of cooling off 在文中指视而不见、安于天命比为维护自己的权益而搞点事情要舒服;the tranquilizing drug 是镇定剂。
首语重复(anaphora)的修辞方法,对应的意象,前后呼应。例如Nowis the timeto lift our nation from thequicksandsof racial injustice to thesolid rockof brotherhood.Nowis the timetomake justice a realityfor all of God's children.
加之上句连续三句以Nowis the time开头,强调现在是时候了。这让人联想到林肯的 We cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground 和丘吉尔的 We shall fight...we shall fight...。
quick sands流沙,这里意指时间越久越危险 /solid rock
solid 干货多,人很靠谱
My father is my rock.父爱如山(可依靠的人)
《圣经》中有这样两段:
The LORD is my solid rock, my fortress, my rescuer. My God is my rock— I take refuge in him!— he's my shield, my salvation's strength, my place of.
He plucked me out of a pit of confusion, even out of the quick sand; he placed my feet on a rock and established my steps.

使用累赘重复(Redundancy)的修辞突出作者的感慨,加深读者的印象。
例如: I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia,the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
这里 at the table of brotherhood 指情同手足,共叙兄弟情谊,让人联想到前文的 the solid rock of brotherhood。oasis(自由绿洲)是一个新的意象。
前后形成对比;头韵。例如 I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judgedby thecolor of their skinbutby thecontent of theircharacter. 再次提到孩子(未来的希望),引起听众共鸣。
don't judge ... by the...,but by...
Don't judge a book by its cover.
隐喻的修辞方法。例如 The fountain of knowledge will dry up unless it is continuously replenished by streams of new learning. 联想:问渠那得清如许,为有源头活水来——朱熹。

重音放前/后(意思不同):

排比的修辞方法(一浪压一浪)。例如I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low,the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together." 与前文共计9个 I have a dream,气势恢宏。整段话来自《圣经》,意思是只有大自然翻天覆地的变化,上帝才会出现。朗读时注意有起有伏、张弛有度。联想到:
上邪,我欲与君相知,长命无绝衰。山无陵,江水为竭。冬雷震震,夏雨雪。天地合,乃敢与君绝。
flesh人
crooked teeth 牙不齐
hew out of A B= hewBout of A 从A上开采B,例如 Hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. 同样的还有take out of A B,例如 Take out of the bag a book.

that I连读
体会重复与变化,节奏和韵律。例如With this faith, we will be able towork together, topray together, tostruggle together, togo to jail together, tostand up for freedom together, knowing thatwe will be freeone day. 与前文共计3个 With this faith,荡气回肠。
speak up and stand/stick up for维护,捍卫
no-brainer 傻瓜都知道的问题
come in handy = be useful for a certain purpose
希望自己拥有被讨厌的勇气,不在乎别人的看法,敢于做自己。

发音:
在 to, in, as, for 等词前面稍作停顿,通过节奏使表意更清晰。
night of 和 an exile 连读。
that, to which, of, who 弱读。
pursuit, news, student 的元音u英音发/ju:/而美音发/u:/。
default 作“默认的”含义时重音在前 /'di:fɔ:lt/(柯林斯),其他含义重音在后,为 /dɪ'fɔ:lt/。
注意断句、重音和节奏,不要大喘气。轻重缓急、力求自然,不要过于单一。
Martin Luther King Jr. 的读法:Martin - Glottal Stop;Jr. = Junior。
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious /ˌsuːpərˌkælɪˌfrædʒɪˌlɪstɪkˌɛkspiˌæ lɪˈdoʊʃəs/
children /ˈtʃɪldrən/ 的发音,第一个音节与 chill /tʃɪl/ 相同。
captivity, reality, equality 等,t在两个元音之间为 Flap t。
Betty bought a bit better butter. 练习 Flap t。
重音位置:New York 等地名和人名重音在后;固定的复合名词(set phrase)重音第一个词,形容词+名词 重音在名词上,例如 WHITE house 指白宫;white HOUSE 指白色的房子。
truths 的发音,th与s在一起时,由于s过强,th弱化,听上去像/trus/。
crooked place/teeth /ˈkrʊkɪd/,类比learned一起记(过去分词/kt/和形容词/id/发音不同)。
when, ten, men 等词一起练,将鼻音和元音分开。
注意英语和中文发音的舌位区别(一样是不对的)。
方法论:
带着问题和思考去读书
赏析:
1.读懂作者的意思
2.观察积累作者的用词,修辞手法(排比,头韵,重复),句式
3.仿写造句运用,所学化为己用。
按语块学习和背诵,例如 a great beacon light of hope。
学了就用
不用纠结语言中nonsensical的东西,记住就好。
关注修辞手法(Rhetorical figures),反复出现的意象(Tropes)和主题/母题(Motif)。
注意语域和词源,更地道地用英语。
看到中文向英文怎么说,看到英文想英文还能怎么说。
用词只有是否恰当,没有“高大上”和“小学生”。
推荐阅读太久保幸夫的《12个工作的基本》。
写作时的重复与变化:重复造成不断堆积的效果,形成排山倒海之势;而变化保证了多样性。
恰当使用不及物动词,可以达到短促有力的效果。例如 emerge, prevail, boast, loom, vary, help, count 等。
演讲中常常可以通过提问的方法来引起听众的兴趣和注意。
朗读长句前,先快速扫一眼整体的意思,然后按意群断句(谁干了什么事)。有意识地多练!
推荐阅读唐君毅的《青年与学问》。
推荐《人类简史》、范家才的《英文修辞》和 Simon Sinek 的TED演讲(关于黄金法则 Golden Circle: Why, How, What)。
不要害怕自己因为不知道文化背景而读不懂文章,查就好了。
在参加活动或社群学习时,一定要想法设法让别人能记住你,这样他们才更愿意帮助你,自己也会收获更多。不要做“小透明”!
发音(或语义)但凡有一点不确定,就去查。以教为学。
不要总否定自己,也不要总自以为是。Know thyself!
从别人的反馈中,有则改之无则加勉。要学会学习。
注意积累带连字符(hyphen)的单词,如 bullet-riddled, how-to, know-how, go-getter 等。
