　　英語語音語調(diào)

　　由意群決定句子的停頓

　　為了將意思表達(dá)得更清楚，人們?cè)谡f話時(shí)需要停頓。正確的停頓不僅能夠使自己的意思表達(dá)得清楚、到位，也能使別人更準(zhǔn)確地接受你傳達(dá)的信息、理解你的意圖。人們說出的話可以按照意思分為若干個(gè)部分，每個(gè)部分就成為一個(gè)意群。意群可以是一個(gè)單詞、一個(gè)詞組、一個(gè)短語或一個(gè)分句等，需注意的是意群可以表達(dá)相對(duì)獨(dú)立的意叉。如：

　　The man in yellow shirt told me it's forbidden to park here no matter what emergencies you encounter。

　　穿黃衣服的那個(gè)人告訴我，不管遇到什么緊急事件，都不準(zhǔn)把車停在這兒。

　　這句話可以按意群劃分為：

　　The man in yellow shirt/told me/it's forbidden to park here/no matter what emergencies you encounter.
