- So ladies and gentlemen, at TED we talk a lot about leadership.
2
and how to make a movement.
3
So let's watch a movement happen start to finish in under three minutes and dissect some lessons from it.
4
First, of course you know, a leader needs the guts to stand out and be ridiculed.
5
But what he's doing is so easy to follow.
6
So here's his first follower with a crucial role.
7
He's going to show everyone else how to follow.
8
Now notice that the leader embraces him as an equal.
9
So now it's not about the leader anymore, it's about them, plural.
10
Now there he is calling to his friends.
11
Now if you notice that the first follower is actually an underestimated form of leadership in itself.
12
It takes guts to stand out like that.
13
The first follower is what transforms a lone nut into a leader.
14
And here comes a second follower.
15
Now it's not a lone nut, it's not two nuts, Three is a crowd and the crowd is news.
16
So a movement must be public.
17
it's important to show not just the leader, but the followers.
18
because you find that new followers emulate the followers, not the leader.
19
Now here come two more people, and immediately after-- Three more people.
20
Now we've got momentum.
21
This is the tipping point.
22
Now we've got a movement.
23
So, Notice that as more people join in, it's less risky.
24
So those that were sitting on the fence before now have no reason not to.
25
They won't stand out.
26
They won't be ridiculed.
27
but they will be part of the in -crowd if they hurry.
28
So, over the next minute, you'll see all of those that prefer to stick with the crowd, because eventually they would be ridiculed for not joining in.
29
And that's how you make a movement.
30
But let's recap some lessons from this.
31
First, if you are the type, like the shirtless dancing guy, that is standing alone, remember the importance of nurturing your first few followers as equals.
32
So it's clearly about the movement, not you.
33
We might have missed the real lesson here, the biggest lesson.
34
If you noticed, did you catch it?
35
is that leadership is over -glorified.
36
that yes, the shirtless guy was first, and he'll get all the credit, but it was really the first follower that transformed the lone nut into a leader.
37
So as we're told that we should all be leaders, that would be really ineffective.
38
If you really care about starting a movement, have the courage to follow and show others how to follow.
39
And when you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to be the first one to stand up and join in.
40
And what a perfect place to do that, at TED.
41
Thanks.
42
you

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？
在這個 TED 演講中，Derek Sivers 探討了如何啟動一個運動。在學習英語口語時，觀看這樣的演講能夠幫助你理解領導與追隨之間的動態關係。通過模仿演講者的語調、節奏和表達方式，你能夠在實踐中提升你的英語口語練習能力。影片中展現了人們如何從不同行為中得到啟發，意味著你也可以通過模仿這些語言特徵，來增強自己的口頭表達能力。參與這一活動能讓你的發音更加自然流暢，從而提高你的整體英語水平。
語法與表達的應用
- 第一人稱複數的用法：影片中提到“it's about them, plural”，這突出了複數形式的用法。在口語交流中，善於使用複數能增強你與他人的聯絡。
- 隱喻與類比：演講中提到“lone nut”和“leader”對比，展示了比喻的力量。這種表達方式能夠使資訊更加生動，有助於記憶。
- 召集示例：“calling to his friends”部分傳達瞭如何發起集體行動。在日常交流中，這種召集他人的表達方式也是非常實用的。
常見發音陷阱
在影片中，Derek Sivers 的發音清晰，但對於英語學習者來說，某些詞的發音依然具有挑戰性。例如，“movement”中的“v”的音可能需要注意，容易被髮成“b”的音，導致發音錯誤。此外，“crowd”中的短音“o”可能會被誤讀為長音。在練習過程中，可以嘗試使用提高英語發音的技巧，如重複練習（shadowing）以及shadow speech，幫助自己掌握正確的發音。
整體而言，通過模仿演講者的方式，你不僅能夠更好地理解情境，還能在語音語調方面獲得巨大的提升。通過在這樣的shadowing site上進行練習，營造出真實的語言環境，有助於實現語言能力的快速提升。
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。
