是全部真相,且僅為真相嗎?
3
I do.
我願意。
4

5
Mr. President, I want to thank you for appearing,
主席先生,感謝您出席本次會議。
6
and I hope we get to clear some things up for the American people.
7
Mr. President, the floor is yours.
8
You can take as long or as short as you like.
9
If you have any written statement,
10
we will include it after,
11
and it will be part of the record.
12
Mr. President, you are recognized.
13
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
14
and to the other members of this committee.
15
I have agreed to appear before this committee today because I'm guilty.
16
Guilty of having spent the last 30 years of my life here,
17
in this Congress, in this House,
18
then as vice president and now as president,
19
trying to do the people's work.
20
Now, this committee has accused me of a great number of things.
21
You accuse me of pay to play,
22
and so I accuse you of exactly the same.
23
I also accuse you of playing politics only when it suits you.
24
You're all being paid.
25
You're all serving some master,
26
each and every one of you,
27
and you know I know that for a fact.
28
You, for example, Congressman Romero,
29
and your crusade to take me down, is it for justice?
30
For the good of the nation?
31
Is the truth what you're really after?
32
Or is it for some personal gain,
33
Perhaps to try to fill the small hole in your soul that you sold off a long time ago.
34
Mr. President!
35
No, no, no. This is my opening statement,
36
and I will give it in full.
37
I am not done, ladies and gentlemen.
38
Now, you accuse me of breaking the rules,
39
and I tell you I am playing by the rules,
40
the very rules that you and I all agreed upon,
41
upon the very rules that you and I all wrote together.
42
So, yes, I'm guilty as hell,
43
but then so are all of you.
44
Yes, the system is corrupt,
45
but you wanted a guardian at the gate like me, and why?
46
Because you know I will do whatever it takes.
47
And you have all enjoyed it,
48
been party to it, and benefited by it.
49
Oh, don't deny it.
50
You've loved it.
51
You don't actually need me to stand for anything.
52
You just need me to stand.
53
To be the strong man, the man of action.
54
My God, you're addicted to action and slogans.
55
It doesn't matter what I say.
56
It doesn't matter what I do,
57
just as long as I'm doing something.
58
You're happy to be along for the ride.
59
And frankly, I don't blame you.
60
With all the foolishness and indecision in your lives,
61
why not a man like me?
62
I don't apologize.
63
In the end, I don't care whether you love me or you hate me,
64
just as long as I win.
65
The deck is stacked.
66
The rules are rigged.
67
Welcome to the death of the Age of Reason.
68
There is no right or wrong.
69
Not anymore.
70
There's only being in, and then being out.
FOR YOU

逐步影子跟讀指南
想要有效提升英語口語能力,英語影子跟讀是一種很好的練習方法。以下是針對此段講話的跟讀步驟:
- 聆聽原聲:首先,觀看影片,專注於發言者的語音、語調和情感。注意不同短語的發音。
- 分段分析:將講話分成小段落,逐句反覆播放,讓每個句子變得更加清晰和容易理解。
- 模仿與重複:在每句後面暫停,儘量模仿發音和語調,甚至可以邊說邊錄下來進行對比。
- 情感投入:不僅要在口音上模仿,還要在情感上加入自己的理解和表現,這樣可以讓自己的發言更富有表現力。
- 複習與擴充套件:完成影子跟讀後,嘗試將所學的話語運用到其他場合進行實戰演練,如模擬雅思口語練習或日常會話。
通過以上步驟,你將能更好地掌握英語表達,使日常溝通更加流利自然。同時,也可以通過看YouTube學英語,獲得豐富的學習資源,提升口語能力。

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
