Hi, Tim here with another 9to5English lesson.
4
In today's lesson, we're going to learn some ways of clarifying what someone means sure you can just smile
5
and nod when you don't understand people do that all the time
6
but they also feel foolish later especially when the speaker realizes what has happened
7
or when you have to ask a question that clearly shows you didn't understand the first time
8
sometimes it's just one word you don't know the meaning of in this case don't be afraid
9
to stop someone and ask for clarification.
10
You can always begin by saying,
11
you're sorry, then just ask what the word means.
12
Or you can say, you're not quite clear what you mean by a certain word.
13
How about a bit of practice on clarifying an unknown word?
14
Listen to each example, then repeat it yourself.
15
Ready?
16
Let's get started.
17
Sorry, but what exactly is click-through rate?
18
You mentioned logistics.
19
What does that mean?
20
I'm not quite clear what you mean by segment.
21
I'm sorry, but I don't know what OS means.
22
As you can see, clarifying a word can be done politely and directly.
23
And if it is just one word,
24
it's really best to ask about that word specifically,
25
rather than saying you don't understand more generally.
26
But it's not always one word that gets in the way of understanding.
27
Sometimes, it's an entire idea that's unclear,
28
especially if it's said indirectly.
29
You might think you've understood, but you're not sure.
30
To confirm you've understood in this case,
31
just begin with something like,
32
Are you saying, or Am I correct in understanding that?
33
And then say what you think the idea is.
34
Let's try these expressions for confirming understanding.
35
Remember to repeat the examples after you hear them.
36
Just to be clear, you don't want to do the presentation?
37
Am I correct in understanding that you like the new designs?
38
Are you saying we should not open a new office?
39
So, you're telling us we need to cut costs, right?
40
Notice that to confirm you've understood,
41
you can also state the idea using question intonation.
42
That basically says, please confirm this idea.
43
Or you can state the idea and add a little question tag like,
44
right on the end.
45
The problem is, sometimes, it's not a single word you need to clarify.
46
Sometimes you just don't understand what a person is talking about.
47
And in this case, you can ask for more explanation.
48
That means questions like, could you give me a bit more detail?
49
Would you mind explaining that in more detail?
50
Let's practice asking for more explanation.
51
Once again, repeat the examples you hear.
52
I'm sorry, but what do you mean exactly?
53
Could you give me a bit more detail on that?
54
I just need a bit of clarification on that.
55
Would you mind explaining that in a bit more detail?
56
As you heard, if you need clarification,
57
you can just tell someone directly,
58
or you can ask politely for more detail or explanation.
59
Alright, we've practiced some useful expressions on their own.
60
Now let's hear what they sound like in a conversation.
61
Let's listen to a short dialogue between Ann and James.
62
They're talking about building a new website.
63
And James doesn't understand exactly what Ann is trying to say.
64
Let's listen.
65
It's crazy to think about a new website design.
66
Are you saying we should not build a new site?
67
Yes, it's a ridiculous way to improve our position.
68
I'm sorry, but what do you mean exactly?
69
pretty simple right James is trying to confirm his understanding
70
and to get more explanation now it's your turn to practice we'll repeat the dialogue
71
but this time we're going to beep out the second speakers
72
words you will have to say those parts yourself remember to confirm
73
that Ann is saying you should not build a new site and then ask exactly what she means
74
it's crazy to think about a new website design Yes,
75
it's a ridiculous way to improve our position.
76
All right.
77
That about does it for this lesson.
78
We've learned some great ways of clarifying understanding.
79
We'll be back soon with another 9 to 5 English lesson.
80
Until then, so long and happy learning.

نصائح الممارسة

عند ممارسة المحادثة الإنجليزية، يعتبر استخدام تقنية طريقة التظليل في الإنجليزية فعالاً للغاية. يمكنك الاستفادة من الفيديوهات التعلمية مثل هذه عن طريق تقليد المتحدثين. حاول تطبيق تقنيات الظل من خلال تكرار العبارات بعد سماعها. ابدأ بالتكرار ببطء وحاول تقليد النغمة والإيقاع. هذه الطريقة ليست فقط فعالة لتحسين النطق، بل تساعد أيضًا في تعزيز فهمك للسياقات المختلفة للكلمات.

تأكد من أنك تتابع الفيديو بتركيز، واستمع جيدًا للطرق التي يسأل بها المتحدث عن التوضيح. جرب أن تسجل نفسك أثناء ممارسة ممارسة المحادثة الإنجليزية وراجع النطق الخاص بك. يمكنك استخدام موقع الظل أو حتى تطبيقات تعلم الإنجليزية مع يوتيوب لتحقيق ذلك. تذكر، أن تحسين مهاراتك في طلب التوضيح سيكون له تأثير إيجابي على تواصلك في أي بيئة عمل.

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟

التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
