ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: It's time to terrify my production team.

กำลังสร้างบทเรียน...
1
Six years ago, I got an invitation to go around a bobsleigh track, and I was too scared and I turned it down.
2
But since then, these folks have been helping run this channel, and they got me over my fear of roller coasters.
3
So thank you for that.
4
This is Chris Spring, world-class bobsleigh athlete, and this is the Whistler Sliding Centre in Canada.
5
So for the season finale, for the Christmas special, we brought the entire team out here to Canada, and we're gonna throw ourselves down a bobsleigh track.
6
Wait, what?
7
Oh, don't pretend you don't know!
8
Which includes, by the way, the camera team.
9
Hello. Hello.
10
How's it going?
11
Going well. Tom.
12
Welcome to the Sliding Centre. My name is Philippe.
13
I'm gonna be showing you a few things before we go.
14
So follow me and we can get started.
15
Right. You're gonna go down the fastest, steepest track in the world.
16
So on average, speed for track is 135km an hour.
17
Here, top speed is 155 from the top.
18
So big jump.
19
We need to regroom the track by hand, believe it or not, because of the speed.
20
So that's what the guys are doing.
21
So, a little warning about the ride.
22
You might not like it.
23
And there's nothing we can do about it, okay?
24
Yeah, once you start, that's it.
25
You're in it for the ride.
26
It's nothing like you expect.
27
You're gonna pull three to four G-forces, so you're gonna weigh three to four times your weight.
28
Those are positive Gs, means it's pressure on you.
29
There's no negative Gs. The negative Gs, that's what you experience in a roller coaster.
30
When the stomach goes up, drop, upside down.
31
We don't have that. It's not scary.
32
The athletes, when they start from the top, they go up to 155 km, five to six Gs on their back.
33
That's why they only go for three runs a day or two, never more.
34
After three, they really can't take it anymore.
35
So it's three minutes or two minutes of training per day.
36
Wow. Because after that, you feel really tired, and you can't take it anymore.
37
So if you have any heart condition, any hand, neck, back injury, pregnant, osteoporosis, please don't go.
38
We're really serious about that.
39
Yeah. Okay?
40
We have one crew member who has a...
41
will not be going for medical reasons.
42
So that's... Okay, I didn't know if you wanted to mention that on camera or not!
43
I was just gonna say "medical reasons." That's fine.
44
So when there's a cut, like the one on a competition sled, the nose can move.
45
The nose is articulated.
46
And when the nose can move like that, the sled can go higher in the corner, and the back falls, and they can get more speed.
47
The downside is they can go too high and they crash.
48
So they're easy to crash.
49
The other one is called a plank sled.
50
There's no cut.
51
They're slower, smoother, safer, but because they're slower, we don't use them with the public.
52
We're gonna use a real one.
53
Oh wow, okay.
54
So we're going in the less safe one?
55
Yes. Okay. We're going with the faster one.
56
I wouldn't call it less safe.
57
I call them the more fun one.
58
Alright?
59
We're gonna start you from corner seven, not the top.
60
There's different reasons for that.
61
So the top is... it's hell.
62
The one reason we don't start from the top is because of this corner.
63
You see that fake straight line?
64
This is the hardest corner in the world by far.
65
The athlete during the 2010 Olympics named it 50-50.
66
We thought that was a funny name, so we kept it.
67
50-50 what?
68
50% chance to go through it properly on your runners.
69
Oh, wow. Or 50% chance of...
70
Yeah. Okay, yeah, cool.
71
Let's not go full-speed through that.
72
So this is what could happen.
73
If you're in a crash, the sled's gonna slide on its side or upside down all the way to the bottom.
74
We have staff waiting with some hooks at the bottom in case of a crash.
75
And then the staff's gonna stop you.
76
It's gonna help you to exit the sled and the track, and you're gonna have a good story for tonight.
77
Okay. Does it happen often?
78
Uhh... no. I do not believe you, okay?
79
Alright. That's it, ready to go?
80
Ready. Alright. Ready.
81
Let's drive to the top.
82
Ready for some bobsledding?
83
Yeah. We are sled number one.
84
Sled number two is behind the various cameras here at the minute, so, yeah.
85
My nerves haven't kicked in yet.
86
Have they for you?
87
Long ago. Okay. Yeah, they did.
88
They've dissipated a bit, but they'll come back.
89
I'm waiting.
90
Honestly didn't realise it didn't have a back for realsies.
91
Yeah, no back door.
92
Until this morning.
93
There's a little bit of a lip.
94
You'll be fine.
95
Just hold on.
96
Yeah, you'll be surprised how much the pressure will squish you into place.
97
Okay. And not allow you to fall out the back.
98
So how long have you been doing this?
99
This is my 16th year as a bobsledder.
100
Wow. We did the research.
101
You're most decorated Olympian bobsledder, most decorated Canadian Olympian in the house?
102
Well, I don't know about that, but I've definitely been to four Olympic games, which is...
103
one less than one other Olympic bobsledder.
104
Yeah. But we couldn't get him to come here today.
105
So you have me. We're both— I'm trying to be not too awkward, and you're trying to be nice and Canadian.
106
You're self-deprecating here and, alright.
107
We're in good hands then.
108
You are in good hands, yeah.
109
This is... a heck of a run.
110
I'm just looking at that and going, that doesn't look that steep.
111
It's a long way down, but...
112
Am I sorta doing pride before a fall here?
113
'Cause I did— You're nodding.
114
I've seen the track, mate.
115
Okay, this is the thing.
116
They've seen it, they've recce'd and I haven't.
117
This is all I've seen.
118
Right here it doesn't look too steep, but once we get going...
119
By corner 11, 12, 13, it really starts picking up, and you'll start to feel that pressure that I was talking about.
120
How long's the run gonna be?
121
Around 40 seconds.
122
Sounds quick, but... It does!
123
I'll let you know when we get down.
124
How are you feeling about it?
125
Yeah, I feel like the first few corners are gonna be okay, and we'll probably get cocky, and then...
126
our heads will start doing this.
127
Yeah, especially if you don't know which way the corners go.
128
I'm not sure how much you studied the track or not.
129
We did not. In hindsight, that would've been a really good idea.
130
Your instinct will kick in when things do start, you know, rattling around quite a bit and you'll end up...
131
Yeah. kinda resorting to that turtle type shape that you'll make.
132
How much steering is involved in it?
133
'Cause we got told basically: Skeleton, goes down on its own more or less.
134
Luge, really, really difficult.
135
Bobsleigh, you have to know your line.
136
You have to come through. It's not like...
137
It's not like if you didn't steer, it would just go slower.
138
If you didn't steer, it would...
139
Exactly yeah. We would be on our heads.
140
Right. And how much of "on our heads" is there actually when we...?
141
'Cause I saw these little guardy things up here.
142
Yeah, they put these in for the public ride here.
143
Yeah. We have these extra little humps.
144
It's mainly just the visual to make you feel that you are more safe.
145
Right, yeah.
146
That's really what I wanted to know.
147
Yeah, you'll be on— That's great. Thanks mate.
148
You'll be on your head for sure, if we are on our heads.
149
How are the folks behind the cameras feeling?
150
Are y'all okay?
151
Great, just... Great.
152
I didn't have to go, so I'm fine.
153
So Kirsten just enjoying the show, right?
154
Jamie, how are you feeling?
155
Fine. That was a lie.
156
Maybe? Maybe I'm exuding this confidence.
157
Yeah. So we're gonna walk down into corner seven.
158
This is the first curve that we're gonna be entering today, and we'll talk a little bit about the science and the physics behind what we're trying to do, how we're manipulating the sled in curve seven.
159
Yeah. Alright, let's go.
160
What's unique about this curve is that it is laid back quite a lot more than most corners in the world.
161
So when you say laid back, like the angle...
162
Yeah. that the wall's at?
163
Let's come up a little bit closer here, and see if we can see.
164
The track is kind of...
165
We call it an open curve.
166
So there isn't much of an overhang of the roof.
167
It's not cupped like this.
168
And when it's open like this, the pressure is...
169
a lot more difficult to feel in your hands.
170
Because the sled— We always talk about if we did nothing, what would happen to the sled?
171
And then we're trying to manipulate the sled to be on the perfect line from there.
172
How do you learn that feeling?
173
Like how— 'Cause you can't go down at half speed.
174
That doesn't make sense.
175
True. So how do you...
176
The first time you take the controls...
177
how do you know what to do?
178
Yeah, it's very difficult to teach.
179
And we give new drivers, we give them all this information and we hope that...
180
Okay! They understand what we're talking about.
181
Alright. So it's instinctive, is it, a lot of it is?
182
It is, yeah.
183
And a lot of it is that feeling that I talk about.
184
We feel about the pressure, I feel it in in my stomach, I feel it in my butt in the amount of pressure that's in my body.
185
And so I kind of steer using that feeling as well.
186
Alright, should we do it?
187
Yeah, let's do it.
188
So I'm in first.
189
You're going to stand here for a sec.
190
Yep. Go on the other side.
191
I need to check what you're going to be doing.
192
Okay. Go inside.
193
Yep. Come on in. Come in closer.
194
Have a seat.
195
Have a seat? Yeah.
196
Okay. Now you're nervous?
197
Here? I should have done this six years ago.
198
And then you... Okay.
199
Cool. How are you feeling back there?
200
Do you wanna go?
201
So we are ready?
202
Feels very exposed, doesn't it?
203
Tom, when I get in, my bum is really close to your face.
204
My apologies. Alright.
205
There's nothing we can do about that.
206
Just keep these to the outside. There we go.
207
Alright! Cosy?
208
Yeah. It's comfortable, isn't it?
209
Yeah, I'm happy with this.
210
I'm worried about like keeping my back straight.
211
I'm not sure what counts as leaning back.
212
Okay, that's leaning back, 'cause I just hit Guy in the head.
213
Hey buddy. Sorry about that.
214
It's quite comfortable, isn't it?
215
I don't have anything to lean against.
216
The track is in use by Chris, Tom, Cambria, and Guy.
217
You guys ready?
218
Let's do it. Let's do it, here we go!
219
Good luck. See you at the bottom.
220
Three, two, one.
221
Come on, let's have it!
222
Let's go, boys!
223
Come on! Right. Make yourself big.
224
Here we go.
225
Corner seven.
226
Let's go! Woo-hoo!
227
Woo! Woo-ho-ho-hoo! How're you doing back there?
228
Way to go, gang!
229
Welcome back to Earth everyone.
230
Woo! Little bit of grayout on that last corner.
231
How are you doing back there?
232
Yeah, fine. Survived it.
233
I loved it. We made it!
234
I can't feel my fingers.
235
That's interesting.
236
Woo! Oh my god... That was brilliant.
237
I loved it.
238
Come on! Ohh!
239
Alright. How are you feeling Cambria?
240
Oh my god, that was incredible.
241
That was so good.
242
Oh my god. How we doing gang?
243
Thank you Chris.
244
Guy, we survived!
245
Thank you so much.
246
Didn't fall out the back.
247
Nothing happened.
248
Right? You happy?
249
Yeah. Very happy.
250
Thank you so much.
251
Thank you. Yeah, my pleasure.
252
This is what I love, right here.
253
Seeing the smiles.
254
This is great.
255
Alright, camera crew. It's your turn.
256
Yeah. Up you go, guys. How you doing?
257
How you feeling?
258
Good to go.
259
A man of few words. A man of few words.
