今天,在专栏《最强英音》中,我和大家一起分享Miriam Margolyes。有一天,小班长告诉我他发现了一位非常可爱的老奶奶,在Lady in the Van中和Maggie Smith一起搭戏。一看,原来她们也都在哈利波特里有交集,就是那位Sprout教授。


  Miriam Margolyes其实我们很多人对她并不熟悉,她从1969年第一部电影到现在,虽然作品很多,但我们熟悉的相对很少。其中《纯真年代》和《哈利波特》是较为熟悉的。其实她的作品实在很多,比如和憨豆先生搭档的Blackadder,以及自己主持的旅行纪录片等等。

Blackadder中和憨豆

她很早以前就因为在配音上有着极佳的表现,担任了很多相关的项目。她其实是从一名配音演员开始被人们所认知的,随后才渐渐进入表演、喜剧领域。直到今年,她仍然以自己的配音朗读的作品斩获不少大奖。她的发音纯正、精确,在参加一次综艺发音挑战环节时,似乎是满分通过。今天,我们就一起通过以下的视频来欣赏和分析一些她发音中的特点。

练习原文

   

My first Dickens moment was when I was eleven, and I read Oliver Twist at school. I knew from that minute that I was in the grip of something that I loved that I didn’t want ever to leave and I never had.


…and he always does that. And in Bleak House he does it, right from that very first chapter


“London. Michaelmas Term lately over, and the Lord Chancellor sitting in Lincoln's Inn Hall. Implacable November weather. As much mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantine lizard up Holborn Hill. “


Every character is interlinked with another character, and the story is about whose mother is who; whose daughter is who. And it’s really a section through England in the 19th century from top to bottom, from the rich to the poor, from the wicked to the good.


“Smoke lowering down from chimney pots, making a soft black drizzle, with flakes of soot in it as big as full-grown snowflakes…”


It’s a very tough task when you’re recording the book to make the vocal distinction because after all I’m only me but I have to be the omniscient Charles Dickens, the narrator, and also I have to be Esther Summerson.

英音发音要点

  1. 留意Kit元音的精确控制,即便在character等处,Miriam Margolyes都倾向将还原出弱元音kit的状态

  2. Foot元音也是这段中我们可以特别关注的,在当下部分元音失去了原先较为明显的特征时,可以更好地鉴赏。

  3. 更多专业系统的英语发音提高课程请参考文末所列方式加入社群,这里有一大群喜欢和掌握了英音的伙伴们。
