शैडोइंग अभ्यास: Philomena Cunk on Jesus - Part 1 - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Humans craved enlightenment.

To find it, they'd need a spiritual role model,

an icon, an almost Christ-like figure.

And as luck would have it,

someone fitting that bell was about to arrive.

None other than Mr Jesus Christ.

An icon who was almost as revered back then as Beyoncé is today.

Jesus' mum was this woman,

the Virgin Mary, who one night got visited by an angel and told she'd been gotten pregnant by a Holy Ghost.

Of course, actual ghost is ectoplasm,

which only contains ghost sperm.

But Jesus wasn't born a phantom,

leading experts to believe Mary wasn't impregnated by a real ghost,

but by a man in a sheet, like in Scooby-Doo.

Jesus was born Jewish, but soon converted to carpentry as he followed his dad into the primitive chair and table industry.

What's ironic about Jesus Christ becoming a carpenter was he was

actually named after the two words you're most likely to shout after hitting your thumb with a hammer.

Scholars believe he was a real historical figure,

like Justin Timberlake or Garfield.

Whether or not they think he was the actual son of God who performed miracles,

like walking on wine or helping a deaf man seek,

they all agree he preached tolerance and forgiveness.

A message so important his most ardent followers would eventually start killing anyone who didn't want to hear it.

I don't want to hear it.

Murray had to give birth here on the floor,

like a crack addict, and then lay him in a manger.

Manger is another word for trough,

and it's where we get the name for modern sandwich chain ready to trough.

He was born in a humble stable,

which, ironically, isn't a stable environment for a baby,

unless it's a baby donkey,

which, if records are to be believed, Jesus wasn't.

In fact, as this actual painting makes clear,

when Christ was born, he had a magic flaming circle on his head,

which would have set fire to all the hay and pubes as he came out.

The baby Jesus wasn't an ordinary baby.

He was born with a big yellow circle round his head,

which must have been hell for Mary to push out,

especially when you think nothing had ever been in or out of her down below before.

If only he had been born a ghost after all.

Then he could have just floated out,

clanking chains and going woo.

Where did Father Christmas come from?

Father Christmas comes from St Nicholas,

and he is a fourth-century Greek saint and bishop,

and he was very renowned for giving presents to the poor,

and particularly he gave presents to these three girls.

If he hadn't given them the money,

they would have had to go off and be prostitutes.

So why was he knocking about with these prostitutes?

I don't think he knew them very well.

It's just that they...

Well, well enough to give them gifts.

...give them money.

I don't...

I think he just wanted to save them from the horrors of...

I think because basically...

Well, they all say that, don't they?

They do.

How come shops have Father Christmases,

but they don't have Jesuses?

Is Jesuses the right term?

Is it G's I?

Is it Jezi or...?

I think we'd say Figures of Jesus.

Figures of Jesus?

I think that Father Christmas himself would probably have preferred there to be Figures of Jesus,

because, in fact, there is a medieval story.

St Nicholas got in a punch-up about whether or not God or Jesus was greater and was thrown into prison.

So he was obviously very exercised about the purity of religion.

It's all coming out, isn't it?

You know, cos, like, I didn't know that I used to hang about with prostitutes or get into fights.

Now I'm feeling less happy with him coming down my chimney.

Jesus was killed because people didn't like what he was saying,

So could you call him the first celebrity victim of cancel culture?

I think cancel culture would sort of require the idea

that people really saw Jesus as standing for something and they were sure they knew what it was.

Oh, no. Sorry.

That wasn't the question.

I'm literally asking if you could call him the first celebrity victim of cancel culture for our show.

Down that lens there.

You know, it's a sort of,

it's for a credit sequence with punchy sound bites in it.

Off you go.

Down that, down that lens.

Okay, down this lens.

Yeah.

You might even say Jesus was the first celebrity victim of cancel culture.

Brilliant, thank you.

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।
