1
Hey, it's Esther.
2
When I was a kid, sometimes my family forgot to turn the TV off after we were done watching a show.
3
Because the TV stayed on, I'd catch a glimpse of the shows that were on late.
4
And every once in a while, that meant I ended up watching a show that was scary.
5
The ones that creeped me out the most had these.
6
Vampires.
7
Someone named Alfredo has a question about vampires.
8
Let's give Alfredo a call now.
9
Hi, Esther.
10
Hey, Alfredo.
11
I have a question for you.
12
Are vampires you?
13
Great question.
14
You've probably heard of or seen stories about vampires, just like I did.
15
Vampires are always a little different in different stories.
16
Sometimes they're goofy, like Count Chocola or Mavis in the movie Hotel Transylvania.
17
Sometimes, they're scary.
18
But across many stories, vampires often have these things in common.
19
They have fangs, they drink blood, and they hide from sunlight.
20
What do you think?
21
Could a real living creature have all these characteristics?
22
Now would be a good time to pause the video and discuss.
23
us.
24
So far as scientists know, there are no humans who have all these qualities.
25
The human vampires we see in stories are made up.
26
However, I bet you can think of animals that do have at least some of these qualities.
27
There are even some wild animals that have vampire in their names.
28
Let's take a closer look.
29
You might be able to think of lots of animals who only go out when it's dark outside.
30
Many animals are nocturnal.
31
They are awake and active at night.
32
This is true of everything from flying squirrels to moray eels.
33
But the vampires in our stories, they don't just stay up all night, they actively avoid the sun.
34
In some stories, a vampire that sees sunlight burns up into a pile of ashes.
35
Being awake at night is different from never seeing the sun.
36
Still, there are some creatures that never see sunlight because of where or how they live.
37
For example, check out this creepy creature.
38
This animal lives in the deepest, darkest waters of the ocean, where there's almost no light at all.
39
And it's called a vampire squid.
40
Besides living in the dark, see if you can tell what else about this animal is vampire-like.
41
Some of these animals are blood red, others midnight black, but they all have this webbing connecting their arms.
42
It kind of looks like a vampire's cape.
43
Still, vampire squid don't do some things the vampires in stories do.
44
They don't drink blood.
45
In fact, vampire squids aren't even hunters.
46
They're scavengers, which means they eat things that are already dead.
47
and they don't have a vampire's famous long sharp teeth.
48
So let's see if there are any animals that have those teeth.
49
Lots of animals have impressive chompers.
50
Check out the teeth on this hippo, or this baboon, or this fish, or even this deer.
51
Animals use sharp teeth for different purposes, to smash food or tear into meat or fight off and defend themselves from challenging animals.
52
But story vampires use their teeth for a really specific purpose.
53
They use them to drink blood.
54
So do any animals drink blood?
55
You're probably already familiar with one animal who drinks blood all the time.
56
Mosquitoes.
57
These tiny creatures have thin, needle-like mouth parts that use to pierce skin and suck blood.
58
But these aren't the only animals who enjoy a blood meal every now and then.
59
Like check these out.
60
These moths are also blood suckers.
61
Like mosquitoes, they have a thin pointy mouth part at the front of their face
62
that they use to pierce skin and drink blood.
63
These animals are called, you guessed it, vampire moths.
64
Okay, so there are plenty of animals that avoid sunlight or have fangs or drink blood.
65
But does any animal do all three of these things?
66
I'd like to introduce you to the vampire bats.
67
These creatures are nocturnal.
68
They're much more active at night, and during the day, they prefer to spend their time inside dark caves, so not much sunlight for them.
69
They might not have teeth the size of hippos, but if you look closely, wow, they have impressively sharp fangs,
70
which they use to help them drink blood.
71
And not only that, but look at their leathery dark wings.
72
Kind of looks like a vampire's cape, right?
73
And in some stories, vampires like these have the power to transform into an animal, specifically bats.
74
So wait, are vampire bats true vampires?
75
Well, I wouldn't go that far.
76
Story vampires may be able to transform into bats, but vampire bats can't transform into people.
77
And vampire bats aren't obsessed with chasing down humans to drink their blood.
78
They drink the blood of cows and horses mostly.
79
Still, you gotta say, as far as animals go, the vampire bat is probably more like a vampire than any other creature.
80
So in summary, no, vampires aren't real.
81
Not the human ones in stories anyway.
82
However, many animals do have traits we associate with fictional vampires, such as having fangs, drinking blood, and hiding from sunlight.
83
Some of these animals even reminded scientists of vampire stories so much that scientists named them after vampires,
84
like the vampire squid, the vampire moth, and of course, vampire bats.
85
But they're still not vampires.
86
Not really.
87
Still, dramatic animals like these can give writers and storytellers ideas for incredible,
88
fantastical monsters, like vampires, dragons, werewolves, and so many others we see in our favorite scary stories.
89
The animal kingdom is wild.
90
It's full of so many bizarre and beautiful creatures.
91
No wonder they've inspired humans to tell creepy and wacky and wild tales for years and years.
92
Maybe you'll invent a fantastical creature based on your favorite animals.
93
That's all for this week's question.
94
Thanks Alfredo for asking.
95
We want to know what you're curious about.
96
It's time to cast your vote.
97
We picked three questions that we're thinking about answering.
98
When this video's done playing, click on the one you're most excited to see answered.
99
Your vote will help us plan for future mini-lessons.
100
There are mysteries all around us.
101
Stay curious and see you next week.

दोहराने लायक वाक्य

वीडियो के छोटे, पूरे वाक्य जिन्हें आप रोज़ की बातचीत में इस्तेमाल कर सकते हैं:

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण

वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:

संरचनावीडियो में
Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी हैYou've probably heard · they've inspired
Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता हैare made · are called
“might / may” से संभावना might/may + क्रिया — जो हो सकता है पर पक्का नहींmight be · might not have · may be
Superlatives the -est / the most … — समूह में सबसे ऊपर या नीचेthe most had · the deepest

ध्यान देने योग्य उच्चारण

वक्ता 25 बार संक्षिप्त रूपों का प्रयोग करता है, जैसे they're, aren't, don't। इन्हें वैसे ही छोटा बोलें जैसा आप सुनते हैं।

  • “th” की ध्वनियाँ: moth /mɔθ/, leathery /ˈlɛðəɹi/
  • “sh” और “zh” की ध्वनियाँ: fictional /ˈfɪkʃənəl/, smash /smæʃ/, ash /ˈæʃ/
  • लंबे शब्द — बलाघात सही रखें: fantastical /fænˈtæstɪkəl/, hippopotamus /ˌhɪp.əˈpɒt.ə.məs/, characteristic /ˌkæɹ(ə)ktəˈɹɪstɪk/

हिंदी भाषियों के लिए मुश्किल ध्वनियाँ:

  • /v/ और /w/ का फ़र्क़ — /v/ में ऊपर के दाँत निचले होंठ को छूते हैं, /w/ में होंठ गोल होते हैं: awake /əˈweɪk/, scavenger /ˈskæv.ən.d͡ʒə(ɹ)/, werewolf /ˈwɛəɹwʊlf/, invent /ɪnˈvɛnt/, squirrel /ˈskwɪ.ɹ(ə)l/
  • /z/ — इसे “ज” (/dʒ/) न बनाएँ: pause /pɔːz/, bizarre /bɪˈzɑː(ɹ)/
  • शब्द की शुरुआत में s + व्यंजन — पहले “इ” न जोड़ें: scavenger /ˈskæv.ən.d͡ʒə(ɹ)/, squirrel /ˈskwɪ.ɹ(ə)l/, smash /smæʃ/

इस वीडियो से अभ्यास कैसे करें

  1. पहले बिना बोले पूरा वीडियो एक बार सुनें और जो शब्द नहीं आते उन्हें लिख लें।
  2. सामान्य गति पर एक-एक वाक्य की शैडोइंग करें और हर वाक्य तब तक दोहराएँ जब तक आपकी लय वक्ता से न मिल जाए।
  3. अपनी आवाज़ रिकॉर्ड करें और मूल से तुलना करें, ख़ासकर sunlight, fang, moth जैसे शब्दों पर ध्यान दें।

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
