英语语音断句规则
1. 有标点的地方常是断句所在。
如: John Smith, /our teacher,/ came in/ with a book in his hand. Our teacher 前后逗号隔开，那么一般读的时候这也需要断开。
2．一个功能可能是断句所在。
如： John Smith, /our teacher,/ came in /with a book in his hand. 从另一个角度讲our teacher 做的是同位语，因此作为一个语调群。 Came in 做谓语With a book in his hand 做方式状语， 因此要放在一起作为一个语调群。
3. 分句常是断句的地方，
如： He did not come to work yesterday/ because he was seriously ill.
但是具体地还是要看录音中是如何读的。
比如： He did not come to work yesterday/ because he was seriously ill.
这个句子的两个分句还可以划分为：
He/ did not/ come to work/ yesterday/ because/ he /was seriously ill.

Welcome to Daily Tips on learning English. Today’s tip is on the importance of pausing to mark the boundary between phrases or thought groups. In a previous tip, I mentioned how in long sentences, it is necessary to pause between thought groups. However, relatively short sentences may also require pauses to help the listeners organize the stream of sounds correctly. Let’s look at some examples. In the question “what time do you come in in the morning?” It is necessary to pause between the two prepositions “in”. If you pause after the word “come”, “what time do you come / in in the morning?” Then the listeners will be confused, because “come in” and “in the morning” are two separate thought groups. Here’s another similar example. “Look your papers over over the weekend.” You need to pause between the two “over”s to help your listeners organize your words. If you pause somewhere else like “Look your papers / over over the weekend”, nobody will understand you. Sometimes pausing in the wrong place will change the meaning of what you say. For example, let’s take two sentences. Sentence 1: “I usually eat sushi for lunch.” Sentence 2: “I ate noodles today.” When you put the two sentences together in speech, you must pause slightly between them. “I usually eat sushi for lunch. I ate noodles today.” If you pause after the word “sushi”, the meaning changes. “I usually eat sushi. For lunch I ate noodles today.” So remember to use pauses to group ideas together. If you pause in the middle of ideas, or group pieces of different ideas together, your listeners will have a hard time understanding you. This has been today’s daily tip.

Welcome to Daily Tips on Learning English. Today’s tip is on the use of pauses in English speech. Although written English has spaces between every word, spoken English doesn’t have pauses between each word, rather words are linked together. However, people do not normally speak without pausing at all. We do pause in speech. While in written English, there are periods, commas, semicolons and question marks. But we also pause in long sentences without punctuation marks. Let’s look at some examples. My mother listens to the radio in the evening. This sentence can be said without pausing, because it isn’t very long. But if I were to pause, I would say, “My mother/ listens to the radio/ in the evening.” Why? Because pauses come between thought groups----groups of words that express one thought. For example, “in the evening” is a thought group. Let’s make the sentence longer. My mother listens to the radio in the evening, plays tennis in the afternoon, and cleans the house in the morning. Now it is necessary to pause because the sentence is very long. Pauses come between thought groups, and help the listeners organize the information they hear. Listen to sentence again. My mother listens to the radio in the evening, plays tennis in the afternoon, and cleans the house in the morning. If you pause in the wrong places, listeners will have a harder time organizing the information. Listen to the sentence read again with improper pausing. My mother listens to the radio in/ the evening, plays tennis in /the afternoon, and cleans the/ house in the morning. Now the sentence is almost impossible to understand, so remember to pause between thought groups, to help your listeners easily organize what they hear. This has been today's tip on learning English.

英语断句一句分层，连词归后
She was arrested // and killed.
关系代词等也放后面，与从句放一起
The findings concern // that how the two sexes process language.
这些研究结果涉及两形势如何处理语言的
Sam came out // with a foolish speech // which made others annoying. (came out with: say suddenly) In 1980, // she came forward to admit // that she was the nurse. In those days, // boxers fought with bare fists // for prize money.
划分句子成分，在成分之间断。并列成分如用and/ or等连接是在之前断。强调某个词时，可以前后断。总之，最重要的—语感，再简单点，你用汉语说的时候认为哪个地方该停顿，英语里大致也是那些地方。
如果是理解句子结构的断句，必须在句号处，或者用连词连接两个分句的地方才能断。很多人在这里提问的时候光把一个从句放上来然后说哪个哪个动词不对……郁闷。
断句,需要多听原声磁带,同时手不离笔,适时标注停顿,事后研究每一处停顿的理由---基本上是按照意群停顿的.
有节奏地读,甚至读出以英语为母语的人能读出的味道也不是不能实现的.不妨经常大声朗读,同时录下自己的朗读,之后,先自己听,再请别人听,共同探讨你朗读的亮点与瑕疵,再与原声相比较,必然有很大的进步.
朗读英语其实同朗读汉语一样,需要抑扬顿挫,需要情感,多看外文电影,多看国际频道的外国人主持的节目,多听听优秀演讲辞或总统演说磁带,会对你有帮助.
