When I was, maybe about ten years ago, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that affected my nerves,

56
In your mind, you're visualizing what you put on a plate.

Yes, that's correct.

You know, I felt the plate and things like that before, and a lot of it is obvious by memory.

I love the fact that you're tasting everything.
66
I have to.
67
I can't see.
68
One of my teaching methods with young chefs today is that we put a blindfold on them and they understand the texture,
69
the taste, which is accelerated quicker when your eyes are closed and you're concentrating purely on the senses.
70
Yes, correct, chef.
71
I'm gonna do it.
72
My rice did not turn out to par, so I'm not serving it to you.
73
Okay, I guess I'm done.
74
Thank you.
75
The catfish, how did you cook it?
76
With some caramel that I made by just caramelizing sugar on the stove and using coconut soda as well.
77
And with shallots and garlic.
78
And the base of the broth is made up of what?
79
Fish sauce.
80
I love the fact that you kept the fish on the bone.
81
Why?
82
Catfish is just, it's really tender and I didn't want to pick it apart and make it look unappetizing, so I left it as a steak.
83
I think it looks more appealing and that's just the way Vietnamese people eat.
84
You know, you're gonna be judged like everybody else in this competition.
85
Yes, chef.
86
Um, the dish does need the sort of stability.
87
It's a staple done beautifully, but missing the rice.
88
Yes, chef, I understand.
89
I'm sorry.
90
Thank you.
91
Thank you.
92
So, what's the idea behind cooking it in the clay pot?
93
It's supposed to aid with the, uh, quicker caramelization and braising of the, uh, product you put inside, chef.
94
Okay.
95
It's got a beautiful aroma.
96
Thank you, chef.
97
Okay.

推薦影片
為什麼用這個影片練習口語?
這個影片中的對話充滿了真實的情感和日常表達,非常適合用來練習英語影子跟讀。Christine在面試中的回答自然流暢,既有對個人經歷的描述,也有對食物的看法,涵蓋了自我介紹、解釋原因、描述菜品等實用場景。通過模仿她的語氣和節奏,你能快速提升口語的連貫性和自信心,無論是應對雅思口語練習還是日常交流都很有幫助。而且,影片中的對話語速適中,發音清晰,是shadow speech的絕佳素材,能讓你在短時間內感受到進步的喜悅。
語境中的語法與表達
- “I feel like regardless of what your background is…” 這裡的“regardless of”表示“不管……”,後面接從句,是表達讓步關係的常用結構。模仿這個句式,你可以輕鬆說出“不管天氣如何,我都會去跑步”這樣的句子。
- “I'm supposed to be graduating in school, but I've set aside my thesis…” “be supposed to”表示“應該”,“set aside”意為“擱置”。這個結構能幫你清晰表達計劃的改變,比如“我本該完成報告,但我把它擱置了去參加聚會”。
- “It's a catfish braised in a clay pot…” 過去分詞短語“braised in a clay pot”作後置定語,描述食物的製作方式。學會這個結構,你可以準確描述菜品,如“這是一道用烤箱烤制的雞肉”。
常見發音陷阱
影片中有幾個單詞的發音需要注意。比如“competitive”中的“com-”要發成/kəm/,而不是/kɒm/;“Vietnamese”的重音在第二個音節,讀作/ˌvjetnəˈmiːz/;“braised”的發音是/breɪzd/,不要漏掉尾音/d/。這些細節容易被忽略,但通過提高英語發音的練習,你能逐漸掌握。建議用影子跟讀的方式反覆模仿,對比自己的發音和影片中的差異,快速糾正錯誤。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | I've set · we've never had · I've heard |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | was diagnosed · is accelerated · is made |
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。
