聽懂ICRT
1.由簡入繁：ICRT新聞大致可分國際新聞、國內新聞、經濟新聞、體育新聞，及氣象。對
初學者來說，我建議從國內新聞聽起，因為一般說來，聽者對國內新聞的背景比較瞭解，
聽起來比較 “順”，同時學到的單字也比較實用，可用在日常生活當中。
首先將長約十分鐘的國內新聞錄下來，先聽一遍，看看那一則新聞比較熟悉，簡短，然後
逐句邊聽邊寫，照前面所介紹的口說英語特性的原則，大概可將實字寫出十之八九，最後
再把虛字按聽到的加上句意逐字補上。對初學者來說，一則簡單的新聞，錄音帶來來回回
聽，可能要花上三、四十分鐘，以下列這則新聞為例：
A Taichung police officer has been killed in a shootout during an attempt to
make an arrest. After receiving a tip on the whereabouts of a known gunman
Cheng Chi-ping, the seven-man Taichung Youth Corps Police closed in. After
surrounding Cheng’s hideout, police identified themselves. Cheng then opened
fire. In the shootout that followed, one officer, Chan Chi-sen, was killed and
another, Tseng Chiang-ien, was wounded. Gunman Cheng Chi-ping was found dead
on the scene by the police.
警匪槍戰的新聞事實上已不算新聞，聽者只要抓住何人、何時、何地、為何、如何的大原
則，這則新聞便解決大部份。所有畫底線部份都唸強音，所以理當不難聽出來；句型結構
不算複雜，所以虛字的填補也不必太費心力。假如碰到一聽再聽仍無法聽出來的單字，則
可參考當日或隔日國內英文報的相關報導，看看是否有該字，或者以聽到的音為準，在英
英字典中找出適合句意的字，如上則新聞中的shootout，重音在shoot，out幾乎聽不出來
。因此，查出 shoot字後再往下查，便能很容易的找到適合該句的字shootout。真碰到聽
了五、六次仍無法聽出來的單字，只好求助英語聽力好的人或英美人士了。
熟悉了比較簡單的國內新聞後，可以試聽較繁長的國內新聞，此類新聞不只長，且有現場
報導，由於雜音的關係，不像從播音室播出來的清晰，聽起來更具挑戰性。過了這關，再
聽國際新聞及其它類新聞。或許有人會問，這樣做要花多少時間、精神？我的回答是：開
始時要花許多時間、精神，可是練久後，對整個口說英語及廣播新聞的特性愈加熟悉.，
愈能駕輕就熟，花費的時間精神也就相對減少。
2.顧後不瞻前：許多人聽外語常犯的錯誤是只顧揣摩剛剛聽到的是什麼，而忽略了去揣摩
說話者將會說什麼。這種現象在一般日常生活的對話中，由於頓挫支吾佔了許多時間，不
會產生太大困擾。可是在新聞廣播中，播音員一開口便成串的字流洩而出，聽者如果還是
忙著揣摩所聽到的訊息，不去預測未來的訊息，那只有永遠辛苦的跟著播報員後頭追得非
常辛苦，甚至為了顧前而丟了後，結果前後都沒有聽懂。為了避免這種窘像，便要學會如
何猜測說話者將要說什麼。新聞體的文章都與何人、何時、何事、何地、為何、如何有關
，而前第一句的導言會把重要的訊息傳達出來，之後的報導，朝”六何”的方向猜大致不
差。以上面這則新聞為例，聽了第一句 A Taichung police officer has been killed
in a shootout during an attempt to make an arrest之後，聽者對整則新聞已有大略的
印象，後邊的報導只是比較詳盡的敘述，回答何人、何時、何事、何地、為何、如何等問
題。這類新聞聽起來輕鬆許多，這也是聽國內新聞比較容易的原因之一。
3.單字的克服：看英文報紙及聽英語廣播一向被認為是提昇英文能力的好方法，可是許多
人發現攤開報紙，打開收音機，腦子卻有”寸步難行”的感覺，因為處處是看不懂、聽不
懂的字。事實上，不管是聽、說、讀、寫都要有足夠的單字才能勝任。雖然廣播新聞英語
用字淺顯，可是新聞涵蓋面廣，有政治的、經濟的、環保的、災難的、人情味的，不一而
足，聽者所需要的單字要很多。報紙英文看不懂，可以一看再看，慢慢查字典，可是廣播
新聞英語稍縱即逝，必須要即聽即懂，所以單字對聽者來說尤具重要性。初學者不妨先把
英文報紙相關報導剪下，仔細閱讀後在聽寫錄下的新聞，或先聽寫錄下的新聞再參考報紙
的報導，許多聽不出來的字，可在報紙報導中找出。此外，為了不使報導顯得單調，播音
員會在同一則新聞中用不同的字指涉相同的事，前面所舉宜蘭市政府和和縣政府垃圾大戰
的新聞，就用了 trash, garbage, refuse等字指垃圾。在一則有關地震報導中，除了用
earthquake外，還用了quake及temblor。碰到這種情況，最好的方法是查有同義字，反義
字的英英字典。
聽力要好，script一定要多，所謂script是指某方面的字彙而言。想增加某類新聞script
的話，可以在一段時間內，固定聽某種新聞。重大新聞通常會延續報導好幾天或個把禮拜
，每天把這些報導集錄，再配合讀報紙上的報導，可以很快的熟悉這類新聞的script，以
後再碰到這類報導，必可迎刃而解。
4.文法：前面提起聽者對意群及抑揚頓挫的掌握與文法程度的好壞有密切關係，這裡所謂
的文法程度主要指的是對英文句子的熟悉度而言。基本上，廣播新聞英語是以主詞＋動詞
＋受詞的句子多，問題是主詞、動詞、受詞都可能有修飾詞，而修飾詞中常省略許多字，
因此，不熟悉英文句子結構的人，聽了一個句子往往不知道主要句何在，如下列兩句：
In an article entitled “On Local Petrochemical Firms’ Leaving Roots in
Taiwan ,” Wang said the best bet for Taiwan’s up-and-down-stream petrochemical
plants is to facilitate closer cooperation and an exclusive zone in Mainland
China.
Adding to the blanket of smog smouldering the capital, the startup of the
Christmas holidays has caused traffic jams and brought greater volumes of
toxic emissions.
第一句entitled前省略了which was; Wang said後省去了引起受詞子句的連接詞that。
第二句Adding to …the capital是現在分詞片語修飾主詞the startup，而smouldering
也是現在分詞，是which is smouldering 的省略。
乍聽之下，這兩個句子都蠻長的，可是仔細分析，也不過是主詞＋動詞＋受詞的結構。聽
者對句子結構掌握得法的話，會自然的把聽到的訊息按其抑揚頓挫及文法功能歸納成各個
意群。

初學者來說，我建議從國內新聞聽起，因為一般說來，聽者對國內新聞的背景比較瞭解，
聽起來比較 “順”，同時學到的單字也比較實用，可用在日常生活當中。
首先將長約十分鐘的國內新聞錄下來，先聽一遍，看看那一則新聞比較熟悉，簡短，然後
逐句邊聽邊寫，照前面所介紹的口說英語特性的原則，大概可將實字寫出十之八九，最後
再把虛字按聽到的加上句意逐字補上。對初學者來說，一則簡單的新聞，錄音帶來來回回
聽，可能要花上三、四十分鐘，以下列這則新聞為例：
A Taichung police officer has been killed in a shootout during an attempt to
make an arrest. After receiving a tip on the whereabouts of a known gunman
Cheng Chi-ping, the seven-man Taichung Youth Corps Police closed in. After
surrounding Cheng’s hideout, police identified themselves. Cheng then opened
fire. In the shootout that followed, one officer, Chan Chi-sen, was killed and
another, Tseng Chiang-ien, was wounded. Gunman Cheng Chi-ping was found dead
on the scene by the police.
警匪槍戰的新聞事實上已不算新聞，聽者只要抓住何人、何時、何地、為何、如何的大原
則，這則新聞便解決大部份。所有畫底線部份都唸強音，所以理當不難聽出來；句型結構
不算複雜，所以虛字的填補也不必太費心力。假如碰到一聽再聽仍無法聽出來的單字，則
可參考當日或隔日國內英文報的相關報導，看看是否有該字，或者以聽到的音為準，在英
英字典中找出適合句意的字，如上則新聞中的shootout，重音在shoot，out幾乎聽不出來
。因此，查出 shoot字後再往下查，便能很容易的找到適合該句的字shootout。真碰到聽
