Transcriber: Translate TED Reviewer: Joanna Pietrulewicz It is such a sort of instrumental part of our cooking vocabulary, in terms of the utensils.
2
And it was like, that's interesting, there are people who live without chopsticks.
3
[Small Thing.] [Big Idea.] Chopsticks are a pair of two long sticks used to eat things with one hand.
4
Holding chopsticks is a little bit like holding a pencil, except that you have two of them and you move them together in a pincer movement.
5
Most of them are made out of wood. They're also made out of plastic, bamboo, jade, gold, silver and even ivory, though I think that's not so cool anymore.
6
Chopsticks are really well designed for eating small bits of food.
7
They're good for picking up noodles.
8
If you're skilled, you can eat rice, pick up dumplings, pieces of meat.
9
There are some no-nos with chopsticks.
10
You should not use the chopsticks like drumsticks, which I know is tempting.
11
You don't want to stick chopsticks into a bowl of rice face-up.
12
And the reason for that is it actually looks like a bowl of incense, so it sort of echoes death.
13
Chopsticks are used in a huge portion of the world, across much of Asia, about 1.5 billion people are covered in the chopsticks sphere.
14
Different cultures have slightly different variations of chopsticks.
15
Chinese chopsticks will tend to be long and round, Korean chopsticks are flatter and often made of metal and Japanese chopsticks tend to be round and very, very pointy.
16
While chopsticks are actually really commonplace in American society today, there was definitely a time in the late 1800s where this idea that Asian men, because they ate rice with sticks, were of a different quality than American men, who ate proper meat with a knife and fork.
17
But when China and the United States began their diplomatic engagement in the 1970s, Richard Nixon, Henry Kissinger, had to practice eating with chopsticks.
18
What's been really interesting to see is that as Asian cuisine has moved from the East into the West, chopsticks have become part of the experience.
19
There's evidence of chopsticks as long ago as the Shang dynasty, which is about 3000 years ago, and they loved tripods during the Shang dynasty.
20
So when you cook with these big tripods, chopsticks were actually really useful, because it was a way for you to stir and to reach without getting burned as the water was boiling in these really big pots.
21
Chinese culture has knives and has forks.
22
It uses them in many cases for cooking.
23
But in terms of like what moved into the dining room, it was the chopsticks.
24
One of the things about Asian cooking is that it often comes in very small pieces.
25
And I think part of that has to do with the fact that it's actually a lot more energy-efficient to cook little pieces quickly.
26
But also, then you don't have to cut them.
27
So you have a circular influence, where the type of food that is cooked allows people to use chopsticks, and then the fact that you have chopsticks influences the food that you can cook.
28
But at the same time, chopsticks reflect the communal nature of eating food.
29
You'll have these dishes that you put in the middle, it's very family style.
30
You go in with your chopsticks, and you put it on your rice, and then you eat individually.
31
There's actually a famous sort of legend where everyone has these really, really long chopsticks, like way too long for them to feed themselves.
32
And so in hell, everyone starves, because they can't pick up food and put it in their mouths.
33
But in heaven, people take the same chopsticks and then feed each other.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

Assistir a vídeos como “Por que 1,5 bilhões de pessoas comem com hashis” é uma excelente forma de aprender inglês com youtube. Ao falar sobre um tema cultural tão rico e interessante, o vídeo oferece um contexto autêntico que ajuda na prática de conversação em inglês. Praticar o shadowing em inglês, onde você repete em voz alta o que ouve, é uma técnica eficaz que pode melhorar sua pronúncia, fluência e capacidade de pensar rapidamente no idioma.

Gramática e expressões em contexto

O vídeo apresenta várias estruturas e expressões que podem ser úteis para aprimorar seu vocabulário e sua gramática:

  • “Chopsticks are a pair of…” - Aqui, a estrutura “are” para descrever múltiplas coisas é essencial para formar frases no presente simples.
  • “You should not use…” - Este uso do modal “should” é importante para dar conselhos e expressar proibições.
  • “There are some no-nos…” - A expressão "no-nos" é uma maneira informal de se referir a comportamentos indesejados, ideal para conversações mais descontraídas.
  • “It influences the food that you can cook.” - O uso de “that” para definir uma cláusula relativa é crucial para construir sentenças complexas.

Armadilhas de pronúncia comuns

Ao assistir ao vídeo, você pode notar algumas palavras e frases que podem ser desafiadoras para pronunciar. Fique atento a:

  • “Chopsticks” - A combinação de sons pode ser difícil. Pratique dividir a palavra em sílabas: chop-sticks.
  • “Incense” - Uma palavra que pode ser difícil devido ao som inicial “in-”. Escute atentamente e repita em voz alta para pegar o ritmo.
  • “Cultural” - Preste atenção no som do “t”, que pode ser mais suave em alguns sotaques. Exercícios de shadowing site podem ajudar a capturar nuances no sotaque.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
