1
Now that we've thought about what motivates a character to act in the world,
2
Let's flip things around and think about things that can stand in their way.
3
These can be referred to as obstacles.
4
Obstacles can be anything.
5
A person a great distance, or something internal like fear.
6
Whatever it is, An obstacle is something
7
which stands in the way of a character and prevents them from getting what they want or need.
8
Let's hear again from our story artists.
9
How do they think about this?
10
So the core of storytelling is not only what's your character want and need, but then what is standing in their way.
11
What's the conflict?
12
We have this expression that we create these characters, we put them in a tree and we throw rocks at them.
13
we make their life a little harder.
14
Marlin's obstacle would be his fear of the ocean.
15
tells Nemo all the time you stay in the reef, it's safe here.
16
And so in order to get back to Nemo, he has to break everything that he's comfortable with.
17
The obstacles that were in Marlin's way from
18
that point on were engineered to force Marlin out of his comfort zone in order to get to his son
19
and reach a place where he could trust his son.
20
In E .T., Elliot the boy meets E .T the alien, and he wants E .T to stay with him on Earth, but the obstacle is that E .T is an alien.
21
He can't stay on Earth.
22
He can't survive.
23
He's dying.
24
I think about what's the best way to make this character realize what they need to accomplish.
25
- Here at Pixar, when we're creating these stories and making these films
26
we go through iteration after iteration of what this journey could be for this character.
27
Fear plays a part as an obstacle, depending on the character.
28
A lot of times we try to skirt around our fears and not deal with them.
29
So if you present a character with a fear that they have to confront, it's a very immediate-- fight or flight.
30
um, scenario that you've created, and so it forces your character to react.
31
When you're developing your stories, you want to think, "Okay, what's the fun external?
32
You know, what's the car chase?
33
What's the villain?
34
But More importantly, how does that car chase and how does that villain reflect
35
the obstacle inside the character and reflect all of their flaws and their shortcomings.
36
So those kinds of obstacles you put in front of your characters because it makes them think about their wants and needs.
37
One of my favorite examples is from Cars.
38
McQueen's primary want is to get to California and win the big race.
39
But when confronted by the obstacle of being stuck in Radiator Springs having to fix a road, What he needs.. is to slow down.
40
Enjoy the journey.
41
and make friends.
42
In the next exercise, you'll have a chance to think about the obstacles characters can face.
43
and the choices they make in response.

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？
在這個影片中，我們討論了角色的障礙以及這些障礙如何影響故事的發展。這不僅讓我們瞭解角色內心的鬥爭，還幫助我們在練習英語口語的過程中思考角色的需求與慾望。通過分析這些情節，學習者能夠更深入地理解情境中的溝通方式，從而提高他們的英語表達能力。無論是在雅思口語考試中，還是日常對話，能夠準確表達自己的需求和恐懼都是非常重要的。
語法與表達在語境中的分析
- 動詞短語：影片中提到的“stand in the way”是一個常用的動詞短語，表達障礙的存在。學習如何運用這樣的短語可以讓你在雅思口語練習中更加自然。
- 對比句式：講述角色面臨的對比，比如“safety vs. danger”，可以幫助你在做出比較時更清晰地表達自己的觀點。
- 情態動詞：如“can”和“have to”，用於表達角色的能力和必要性。這類表達在討論個人挑戰或障礙時尤為重要，是提高英語發音的關鍵要素。
常見發音陷阱
影片中的一些詞彙可能對學習者構成發音的挑戰。比如，“obstacle”和“accomplish”這兩個詞的發音需要特別注意，因為它們的音節較多，並且容易在快節奏的講話中混淆。另外，角色名字如“Marlin”和“Elliot”也需要重點練習，以確保說出來流暢自然。通過這些發音練習，您可以提高自己的英語發音，使之更加標準。
整體來說，結合這些策略和技巧，你可以通過shadow speak進行有效的英語口語練習。在這個過程中，時常考慮從影片中得到的靈感，幫助您在雅思口語練習中更好地表達自己的思想和感受，從而提高英語發音。專注於這些障礙和角色的發展，會使您的學習旅程更加豐富和有趣。
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 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | can be referred · were engineered · being stuck |
| 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 | we've thought · you've created |
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。
