1
A very blue collection of comfy cozy items out now, more info at the end of the video.
2
Excuse me sir, I believe you're lost.
3
Hell is this way!
4
You know, the topic of squishing bugs has actually become a bit of a polarizing subject because of the internet.
5
And it all amounts to good PR.
6
Don't hurt the bees, they pollinate and make honey.
7
Don't hurt the ants, they're nature's broom cleaning up so many messes.
8
Don't hurt the spiders, they kill all the bugs we actually hate, right?
9
Flies and mosquitoes and roaches and termites, bedbugs and silverfish and wasps!
10
Get them all out of here!
11
Erase their existence from the Earth!
12
Ahem.
13
Sounds like certain bugs get a pass if we view them as beneficial to us in certain ways.
14
But you know who else eats other pests?
15
Scorpions.
16
Though I'd wager you're far more willing to smack one of them over a spider, aren't ya?
17
You know who else is nature's broom?
18
Maggots.
19
But they make you want to puke, don't they?
20
Point is, every species of insect and arachnid has a benefit to the delicate ecosystem of the planet we live on, no matter how disgusting or scary or annoying or dangerous they are.
21
Do I think we should go out of our way to exterminate every scorpion on the face of the planet?
22
No, absolutely not.
23
And if you can, should you use the relocation method on the odd intruder into your home?
24
Sure, as best as you're able to.
25
But is occasionally smacking a scorpion that's about to disappear into your bedsheets okay?
26
Who's to say?
27
I guess that's the discussion.
28
I have definitely taken on a more empathetic stance on bugs as I get older, but it wasn't always that way.
29
There was a weird phase I went through starting about the age of 11 where I suddenly
30
and totally inexplicably became scared of most bugs.
31
Funny, that's about the time that my family went to Disney's Animal Kingdom for the first time.
32
But I'm sure that's entirely unrelated.
33
This means the world!
34
Entirely unrelated.
35
That's the 3D show It's Up to Be a Bug over at Disney World, and I was terrified of it.
36
I think I actually ran out of it the first few times I saw it.
37
Which is ironic because Flick's whole motivation in that show is to get humans to empathize with bugs.
38
Before the show, only really had a fear of wasps and bees.
39
After the show, all bugs were made by a dark evil force hell-bent on destroying me!
40
Except the ones with pretty privilege, of course.
41
But do you want to know what snapped me out of it?
42
Extreme desensitization.
43
It's a little difficult to live on a ranch out in the country with a bug phobia.
44
Especially in the Texas country where your neighborhood critters are wolf spiders, black widows, brown recluses, striped bark scorpions, a plethora of different wasps,
45
and my personal favorite, the Texas red-headed centipede.
46
Boy, do I have some stories about these guys.
47
Back when David was in middle school, he had a lot of fake bugs and toy critters that he would use to play pranks on Dad and our Grandpa.
48
He even one time put a toy snake under Dad's pillow.
49
You know, typical childhood mischief.
50
Well, one day David and Dad were in the kitchen.
51
Dad had made himself a plate of food and was walking into the living room to sit down in his favorite chair.
52
But when he got to the sofa, he noticed laying on the armrest was one of David's rubber bugs.
53
He rolled his eyes and said to David in the kitchen, Hey, come get this stupid toy centipede off the couch!
54
David looked up from what he was doing with a wide-eyed expression.
55
And without saying a word, he zipped out of the kitchen as fast as he could.
56
What the...
57
And that's.. when it moved.
58
David waited for five minutes hoping that that would be enough time,
59
but when he went back inside, the couch cushions had been thrown everywhere and a huge ruckus was happening underneath the dining room table.
60
BOOM!
61
BOOM!
62
BOOM!
63
BOOM!
64
BOOM!
65
BOOM!
66
BOOM!
67
BOOM!
68
BOOM!
69
Dad emerged from under the table like a battle-weary soldier.
70
The threat.. has been neutralized.
71
So here's a fun fact about Rachel she probably doesn't want me to tell.
72
She has a major aversion to small crawly things.
73
And there have been numerous times
74
when we both lived at the ranch where she would call
75
me on my phone yelling at me to come get a creepy crawly for her.
76
She even one time accidentally squished a gecko in her bedroom door at like midnight
77
and called me to come pick up the little gecko body for her.
78
with some sort of criminal underground contact who could get rid of the corpse for ya.
79
Well, she's had her own run-in with one of these centipedes that probably still haunts her to this day.
80
One night she and mom were in the living room watching TV and she got up to make a drink.
81
She hadn't taken two steps before seeing movement out of the corner of her eye.
82
She looked down and saw a giant centipede in the middle of the floor crawling directly at her.
83
And I kid you not, she screamed so loud that it made the centipede jump.
84
It may have scared her, but she scared it and it slithered under the couch to get away.
85
Meanwhile, I was hanging out in my room, minding my own business.
86
Yeah.
87
A centipede almost killed me and it ran under the couch!
88
Get your sorry height down here right now and do something about it!
89
Huh?
90
And I never found it.
91
Looked for a solid half hour, even moved the couch.
92
But that thing had disappeared into the shadows.
93
Welp, done all I could do.
94
Best of luck to you sis, be sure to check your bedsheets tonight.
95
Some people's naivete about bugs is funny to me and can make for great stories.
96
We have these insects in Texas called katydids, sometimes called bush crickets.
97
They're completely harmless, they're actually kind of stupid, they act like humans don't exist half the time, and they're mostly just annoying because they make a lot of noise, particularly at night.
98
But every now and then our area gets overrun with them during the summer, like you have to watch where you step, kind of overrun.
99
And one of their traits is they're very sticky.
100
You get one of these on the hood of your car and it doesn't matter how fast you're going down the highway, these bugs are like, DO YOUR WORST, POSEIDON!
101
Well one day, Mom and I were out and about and we decided to stop for lunch at a sandwich shop.
102
One of those that had big windows out front.
103
But when we walked in, a young woman whose table was right by the front door stopped us.
104
She had a fearful look on her face and she said, oh my gosh, maybe you didn't see it, but there's a huge bug on the front of your car.
105
Confused, we looked over at our car and seated right there on the hood was a Katie did just doing his thing.
106
We turned back to the woman and I said, oh yeah, that's a Katie did.
107
She said, I was just so scared that it was going to jump on you as you walked by.
108
You from out of town, honey.
109
We explained to her that they're super chill little doofuses and probably couldn't harm anyone even if they tried.
110
It was a fun opportunity to help educate a city kid.
111
You know, now that Charlie's here, I think it's appropriate to throw in a bonus story about him.
112
As I mentioned before, we had a lot of different species of wasps that made their home around our ranch.
113
Well, one day I was outside with Charlie in our breezeway just hanging out.
114
Suddenly, we both noticed a big red wasp sitting on the floor.
115
Still alive, but for some reason it had been grounded.
116
Charlie fearlessly went up to it and before I could stop him he slammed his nose right onto it.
117
He sniffed it, jerked his head back up with his ears perked, touched his nose to it again, pulled back again, and...
118
MOOOO!
119
I don't think the wasp flung his nose, I genuinely think he was just sounding the alert.
120
Wanted to make sure that everyone knew that the anger bee was right there.
121
You're a real funny one, my man.
122
That's cold.
123
And I don't like the cold, but the basic white girl thing that I do love is getting cozy.
124
And what a coincidence!
125
We're in cozy season finally and I've got a new collection of cozy items!
126
We have a hooded blanket that you can wrap yourself up in
127
that has a very clear message to everyone around the house.
128
Eh, maybe later.
129
Some extra warm socks that grip the floor and they're covered in potion bottles, mushrooms, and witch hats.
130
The velveteest lounge pants I have ever put on, I swear to God, with a beautiful potions brewing design.
131
A very stylish and warm sweater featuring Rubber Hose Toonbeka.
132
And speak of the devil herself, Rubber Hose Toonbeka has her very own plushie for you to cuddle with.
133
Not to mention these go perfectly with my new sketchbook.
134
I did a lot of work on this new video in that sketchbook.
135
I love it so much.
136
Get them while they're hot.

關於這堂課
在本堂課中，學習者將通過具有趣味性的蟲子故事，練習英語口語。從對蟲子的看法出發，發現每一種昆蟲和蜘蛛在生態系統中都有其獨特的價值。同時，學習者將提高他們對語音的敏感度，探索幽默與恐懼如何交織在一起。這堂課將幫助你更加自信地使用英語進行表達，特別是在討論這些令人不安但又有趣的話題時。
關鍵詞彙與短語
- bugs（蟲子）
- beneficial（有益的）
- empathize（同情）
- scorpion（蠍子）
- maggots（蛆）
- insect（昆蟲）
- ecosystem（生態系統）

練習技巧
在練習時，使用慢速的shadow speech可以幫助你抓住發音和語調。這個影片的語速適中，非常適合雅思口語練習或進行英語口語練習。建議學習者採用以下步驟來進行有效的shadow speak：
- 首先，播放影片的一小段，仔細聆聽講者的語調和情感表達。
- 然後，暫停影片，嘗試複述所聽到的內容，模仿講者的語調和節奏。
- 多次重複這一過程，直至你能夠自信地流利地說出相同的句子。
- 最後，在練習過程中，可以記錄自己的聲音，回聽以找出改進的地方。
通過這種方式，你能夠逐步適應不同的語速和口音，提高自己的英語口語能力，尤其是在討論有趣或有點恐怖的主題時，能夠更加自如地表達自己的觀點。
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 | has actually become · have definitely taken · has been neutralized |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | were made · had been thrown · has been neutralized |
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。
