1
啊,黎明,我问你一个问题。 嗯?什么问题?你说。
2
你有没有觉得有的时候生活好像有点没意思?
3
没意思?怎么会突然问这个?你最近遇到什么事情了吗?
4
It's not a big deal, just like every day, in the morning to work, in the morning to work,
5
in the morning to work, in the morning to work, in the second day to work, in the morning to work, I feel like a machine.
6
I understand.
7
You think your life is a bit of a bit, a bit of a累, right?
8
Right, this word is a lot,
9
不只是身体累,心里也觉得很累,好像有很多事情要做,但是又不知道为什么要做,感觉压力很大。 我完全理解,很多人都会有这种感觉。
10
不过,我发现你今天好像有点不一样,你的精神看起来很好,眼睛里有光。 真的吗?有那么明显吗?
11
真的,你好像很高兴,和平时不太一样,你是不是发现了什么解决这个问题的好办法?快告诉我。 哈哈,被你发现了。其实啊,我最近开始做一件很简单的事情。
12
嗯?什么事?
13
我开始跑步了。
14
跑步?真的吗?这很棒啊!我记得你以前总是说,你最不喜欢的运动就是跑步。
15
是啊,我以前也觉得跑步又累又无聊,但是我真的没想到,开始跑步以后,我的感觉完全不一样了。 哦,怎么不一样?我很想听听你的故事。 嗯,这个故事有点长,它关于一种感觉,就是生活很闷的时候,你跑起来,好像就会有风吹过来,那种感觉特别好。
16
当生活很闷的时候,跑起来就会有风吹过来,这句话说得真好。 We are today talking about this.
17
You said your feeling every day, every day, every day, every day.
18
Your feeling is where to go? Is it working?
19
I think that working is a big part of a reason.
20
My job is busy.
21
Every day I have a lot of email.
22
I have to tell people.
23
下班的时候 我常常觉得 自己的脑子 已经不是自己的了 里面装满了工作的事情
24
我懂
25
就像一个杯子 里面装满了水 再也放不下别的东西了 对 就是这种感觉
26
回到家 我想躺在沙发上玩手机 什么也不想做 看一些有意思的小视频 好像可以暂时忘记工作的烦恼 然后呢 第二天早上醒来,是不是感觉问题还在那里?
27
是的,第二天还是要面对同样的工作,同样的压力,所以我觉得很闷,好像每天都在一个圈里跑步出去。 你呢?你工作也忙,你会有这种感觉吗?
28
当然会,我觉得每个人都会有。对我来说,压力大的时候,我也会觉得很烦,不想说话。有时候,我会一个人去一个安静的地方坐一会儿,比如公园或者咖啡馆。 一个人待着,有用吗?
29
有一点用,可以让我安静的想一想,但是如果只是坐着,脑子里的问题还是会不停地转,就像你说的,那个圈还在,所以我觉得我们需要做点什么来打破这个圈。 所以你就去跑步了,你是什么时候开始跑步的?
30
I was a few years ago.
31
At that time I got a new job.
32
I was very bad.
33
I was sleeping well.
34
I went to see a doctor.
35
He said I was too nervous and he said I'm too nervous.
36
And my situation is a bit like.
37
I'm also because of the pressure.
38
A friend said to me, you go to the park, you're out of the rain.
39
Look, we're all because of the pressure.
40
I was the first time I was going to go to the park, and I felt very bad.
41
真的吗?
42
我也是 我还以为只有我自己是这样
43
当然不是 我觉得改变总是很难的 特别是让我们这些 已经习惯了坐着的迷现代人 重新跑起来 真的需要很大的勇气 你快说说 你第一次跑步是什么感觉?
44
我记得很清楚 那是一个晚上 I went to eat food, I went to school, and I went to the gym.
45
I told myself, I should go to the gym.
46
20 minutes?
47
That's how many?
48
I thought 20 minutes was probably not difficult.
49
But I went to the gym for about 5 minutes.
50
I thought it was not good.
51
My leg is very heavy.
52
I'm feeling very fast.
53
I'm breathing very hard.
54
I know.
55
我第一次跑的时候只跑了三分钟 真的只有三分钟我就觉得我要死了 当时我想跑步真不是人做的运动 我还是回家躺着吧
56
看来我们都是一样的 我当时也想放弃 路上有很多人走得都比我快 我觉得很不好意思
57
我就停下来开始走路 对 我也是
58
停下来走路的时候 心里在想 明天再也不跑了 太难了 是的 但是 我一边走 一边想
59
医生的话 朋友的建议
60
我觉得我应该再试一次 所以我又慢慢地跑了起来 跑得很慢很慢 比走路快一点点 然后呢 你坚持了二十分钟吗 没有
61
I was walking around 10 minutes, then I walked around 10 minutes.
62
But when I was walking around very late and very long, I was going to stop.
63
There was a wind that came across.
64
Ah, wind?
65
Yes, wind.
66
That morning a little hot, I got a lot of rain.
67
That wind that came across the face and face, it felt very cold, very comfortable.
68
Just in that moment, I felt like it was late.
69
我知道,我完全知道那种感觉
70
我第一次跑的时候也是 我跑到我们家旁边的小公园里 公园里有很多树 我跑不动了,就停下来扶着一棵树 那时候我也感觉到了风 是什么样的感觉?
71
风吹过树叶,有沙沙的声音,很好听
72
风吹在我的脸上
73
因为我脸上都是汗,所以感觉冰冰的,很舒服。 那一刻,我脑子里所有关于工作的烦恼,好像和汗一起被风吹走了。 说得太好了,烦恼和汗一起被风吹走了。
74
这就像一个比喻,我们的烦恼和压力,就像身体里的脏东西。 我们跑步出汗 就像在给我们的心里洗个澡 给心里洗个澡
75
这个比喻真有意思 我以前从来没这么想过 我只是觉得那一刻 世界很安静 只有风的声音和我的心跳声 我第一次发现 原来我的城市晚上这么漂亮
76
公园里的灯光很温柔 还有一些人在散步 看起来都很放松 对
77
这就是跑步带来的第一个礼物
78
它让我们从自己的小世界里走出来 去看看外面的世界 我们平时开车或者坐地铁
79
速度太快了 我们用自己的脚去跑步 用自己的眼睛去看 才能发现身边那些被我们忘记了的美好 Yes,
80
I'm going to be a little bit late, but it's because of the weather and the quiet night,
81
I decided to continue tomorrow.
82
That you have been staying?
83
I have been staying.
84
I have been staying.
85
I have been staying a week, so I can only stay 3 minutes.
86
I can only stay 3 minutes until now.
87
I can only stay 2 minutes.
88
每天都跑,我一个星期大概跑三次,从一开始只能跑三分钟,到现在我已经可以很轻松地跑二十多分钟了。 哇,进步很大,那你觉得跑步给你带来了哪些变化,除了让你发现夜晚的美丽?
89
变化太多了,首先我睡得更好了,以前我晚上虽然觉得累,但是躺在床上总是睡不着,脑子里会想很多事情。 现在跑不回来的晚上,我洗完澡躺在床上很快就睡着了,而且睡得很香。
90
这是肯定的,运动是最好的安眠药,身体累了,大脑才能真正地休息。 然后我的精神也变好了,你刚才也说我看起来精神很好,我以前下午在公司总是觉得很困,想喝咖啡,现在我感觉自己一天都很有能量。
91
我也有通便
92
很多人觉得运动会让你更累 其实正好相反
93
有规律的运动会让你的身体更有磨力 最重要的一个变化是我的心情 我现在很少会觉得生活很闷了 当我遇到不开心的事情
94
或者工作压力很大的时候 我就会去跑步 跑步成了一个让你放松的方式 对, in the park, I can't do anything.
95
I can't do anything.
96
I'm just interested in my breathing, my body.
97
I'm going to go on the floor, I feel all the bad emotions are lost.
98
I feel I can't face those difficulties.
99
This is what we say, the exercise can make people more積極 and more fun.
100
其实这个过程很有意思,跑步的时候我们的身体会告诉我们,我累了,停下来吧。 但是我们的大脑会说,再坚持一下,你可以的。
101
每一次我们战胜了身体的累,我们的内心就会变得更强大一点。
102
嗯,我最近也发现了 以前我觉得很多工作上的困难 是不可能完成的 现在我会想 跑步那么累我都能坚持下来 工作上的这点问题肯定也能解决
103
非常好 你看,跑步不仅仅是锻炼身体 它还在锻炼我们的意志 对了,你跑步的时候 Oh,
104
there have been some interesting people or something?
105
There, I often see a bunch of people in the pool.
106
They every day in the pool, they all live in the same place.
107
They're loud, they're very happy.
108
They're all happy.
109
They're laughing.
110
You're saying that is a lot of people?
111
Yes, it is.
112
What is a lot of people?
113
A lot of people in China are very often known.
114
就是很多退休的叔叔阿姨 他们喜欢在晚上 去公园或者广场这样的地方 一起放着音乐跳舞
115
这是一种锻炼身体 也是一种社交方式 他们看起来都非常健康和快乐 是的 我每次跑过他们身边 看到他们的笑容 我自己的心情也会变好
116
I think their lives are good.
117
They also let me know that happiness is very simple.
118
With friends and friends, they're very happy.
119
Yes.
120
We need to have so many things that we need.
121
Maybe not.
122
There are times, the most simple things, like swimming or swimming, can give us the joy.
123
I hear you.
124
I'm very happy.
125
I believe that many people hear our podcast, may be with you as you were, who feel like living has a pressure, and who feel like changing,
126
but who don't know how to start.
127
Do you have any advice for them?
128
I think the most important thing is to not be asked for yourself.
129
How do you say?
130
Like I first went to the gym, I only went to 3 minutes.
131
If I thought 3 minutes too much, I really didn't use it.
132
Maybe I would leave it.
133
But I told myself, no matter what 3 minutes is, I can do it for 3 minutes, I can do go four minutes later.
134
This feeling is great.
135
We call it a small-boots rule.
136
Don't always think of a breath.
137
Don't go 10 kilometers.
138
First, you can go out the door.
139
Today, you can go out the gym.
140
You can go out the gym.
141
You can go out the gym.
142
It's the勝利.
143
Yes.
144
And, you can get a comfortable shoe.
145
It's important to get a comfortable shoe.
146
如果鞋子不舒服,跑步会变成一件很难受的事情。 这是非常实际的建议,装备可以很简单,但一双好鞋是必须的。
147
另外,听音乐也是一个好方法。 你跑步的时候听音乐吗?
148
听,我会听一些节奏比较快的歌,感觉跟着音乐跑就不会那么累了。
149
好像有人在陪着你,鼓励你 是的,音乐可以分散我们的注意力 让我们忘记疲劳 那我再补充一点 我觉得可以找一个朋友一起 或者加入一个跑步的社群
150
找朋友一起?为什么?
151
一个人跑步,有时候会觉得孤单 特别是天气不好 或者自己很累的时候就很容易放弃
152
如果和朋友约好了,你可能就会想,他还在等我,我必须去,这样互相监督,互相鼓励,更容易坚持下去。 这个主意不错,下次我应该问问我的朋友,要不要和我一起跑?
153
对,你看,我们今天聊的跑步其实不一定真的是指跑步这个运动,它可以是任何一件你为了改变而开始做的小事。 比如说?
154
比如,你觉得生活没意思,你可以开始每天读十分钟的书,或者每天学五个新的中文词,或者开始学做一道新菜,这些事情都很小,但是当你开始行动并且坚持下去,你就会感觉到那种风吹过来的舒服的感觉 I
155
understand.
156
The important thing is not to do what is to do.
157
It's to do this動作.
158
This動作 will break the one that makes us feel very bored.
159
Exactly.
160
The action is to solve the most bad way.
161
Don't worry about it.
162
Just go ahead and say it.
163
I'm not happy.
164
I'm not happy.
165
I'm so happy.
166
I think we'll talk about a simple thing.
167
I'm so happy.
168
Your story gave me a lot of new ideas.
169
I'm a little bit late, but the way to solve the problem is possible to be hidden in a door or a door.
170
That's why we'll talk about some interesting things.
171
Okay, you're here.
172
我觉得今天最重要的词是压力
173
当我们感到有压力的时候 可以试试去跑步
174
嗯 跑步虽然很累 但是跑完步感觉会很舒服 对 坚持下去 生活就会有很好的变化 最重要的是坚持
175
总结得很好 压力 跑步 累 舒服 变化 坚持 这几个词 我觉得对学习中文的朋友们 也很有用
176
学习中文的过程 也像跑步一样 哦 怎么说
177
开始的时候很难 会觉得很累 想放弃 但是只要你坚持 每天学一点
178
每天说一点 慢慢的你就会发现 自己的进步 那种感觉也会像 风吹过来一样舒服 我笑了
179
你说得太对了 那么听我们播客的朋友们 你们呢?
180
当你们觉得生活有点累 压力有点大的时候 你们会做什么?
181
是去跑步?
182
去听音乐?
183

184
欢迎大家告诉我们 好了 今天我们的每天中文就到这里了 希望我们的聊天 能给你带来一点轻松和快乐 We'll see you next time!
185

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
