书面英语中单词与单词之间有空格，口语中不需要在每个单词后都停顿，而是连在一起。
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.
但是，人们通常并不会说话从不停顿。在书面英语中，我们经常用句号、逗号、分号和问号进行断句。
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(在意群之间进行停顿)----groups of words that exPss one。
thought.(表示同一个意思的一组词)
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.
例如，“in the evening”就是一个意群。让我们把句子变得更长。
影响语速的因素包括对材料的熟悉程度、断句、缩写、连接和升降音。今天，我们来谈谈句子的停顿，或者断句。
