英语

（2），对发音的帮助
歌曲时而快时而慢的节奏对发音的要求比较高，而歌词连读、略读、重读等现象的经常出现，对英语学习者的发音会有很大帮助,比如以下一段歌词：
it takes a lot to know what is love
it's not the big things, but the little things
that can mean enough
a lot of prayers to get me through
and there is never a day that passes by
i don't think of you
you were always there for me
pushing me and guiding me
always to succeed

you showed me
when i was young just how to grow
you showed me
everything that i should know
you showed me
just how to walk without your hands
'cause mom you always were
the perfect fan

god has been so good
blessing me with a family
who did all they could
and i've had many years of grace
and it flatters me when i see a smile on your face
i wanna thank you for what you've done
in hopes i can give back to you
and be the perfect son

you showed me how to love
you showed me how to care
and you showed me that you would
always be there
i wanna thank you for that time
and i'm proud to say you're mine

'cause mom you always were,
mom you always were
mom you always were,
you know you always were
'cause mom you always were...
the perfect fan
i love you mom
这是一首不错的英文歌曲，是“后街男孩”唱给他们妈妈的，说她们才是自己最好的歌迷。
这段文字是在一段舒缓流畅的音乐中唱出的，发音标准饱满，而且极好模仿。从模仿这些歌曲开始，会对地道口语的培养有很大的帮助。
同时，这首歌的歌词写的也很有深意，像一首抒情诗。
下面就以这首歌曲中的一些口语要点的分析——它们同时也是地道英语中不可缺少的要素：
“it's not the big things, but the little things”此句中的两个“THE”同是弱读。
