1
a dog mom to 10 year old harvey is joining us from texas hi marissa well i'm
2
so glad to be here
3
so yes um i am the lucky mom to harvey he will be 10 later this year harvey
4
and i actually met
5
10 years ago but i'm quite positive we were family in a past life i just know it um we met
6
We met in San Diego,
7
back when I lived in California.
8
I was volunteering for a foster organization.
9
I was his foster mother.
10
And as the story goes,
11
of course, I meet him.
12
And I know instantly that I've known him for many times.
13
You're his person.
14
Oh, yeah.
15
He is my person.
16
So, yes, I was a foster win,
17
as I like to call it.
18
So Harvey and I have now spent the last nine years traveling the United States together.
19
We've lived in California.
20
We lived for a little bit in Minneapolis.
21
We were in Chicago for four years.
22
And now we're down here in Dallas, Texas.
23
So I swear he has more airline miles than most people do.
24
But it's been really fun to just travel this country with him and kind of explore with him.
25
But my question for you.
26
So we've been together a long time.
27
And whenever I get ready to leave or head out the door,
28
Harvey seems to do the same thing.
29
So whether I'm going out to the mailbox for a minute
30
or maybe I'm going for some errands that I'm running for the day,
31
Harvey will get anxious.
32
So my question for you is more of the concept of time.
33
So do dogs understand the concept of time?
34
Does he understand that when I'm gone for five minutes or the full day,
35
does he know how long I've been gone?
36
Because it seems like either way,
37
it has the same emotional impact on him.
38
When he sees me getting ready to leave out the door,
39
he seems to get that same emotional reaction.
40
So I'm curious just what he's thinking about as I'm getting ready to leave out the door.
41
Great observation.
42
You know, the flip side of that attachment we were talking about is that in separation,
43
dogs are stressed.
44
They're anxious.
45
Right.
46
And that's part of the bond.
47
Actually, it's the kind of negative side of the bond,
48
which is that when you're attached to someone,
49
you don't want to see them go.
50
And when you're gone, they're stressed.
51
And when you're gone, there's some stress involved.
52
Probably why Sadie perked up when you returned.
53
Right.
54
There's the relief of that.
55
And it is a really cool question to say,
56
well, does that mean they don't have a sense of how long you're gone?
57
And there actually was research that looked at this question.
58
What they did was they looked at the greeting behavior that you get when you come back in the door, right?
59
That great, enthusiastic reply.
60
And they had people leave their dogs for a few minutes or a half an hour or several hours.
61
And they looked at the intensity of the greeting.
62
And they found that the longer the people were gone,
63
the more tail wagging, licking,
64
shaking, intense a greeting they got.
65
So dogs in their behavior look like they do appreciate the distance,
66
the time you've been gone from them.
67
And in that way, they're kind of marking time.
68
Yeah, it's definitely different, even though they're whatever,
69
excited every time you come back in the door.
70
Yeah, I noticed this with Sadie that,
71
especially when she was really well,
72
that if you're gone for a few minutes,
73
I remember coming and saying,
74
look, I've only been gone for a few minutes and you're this excited.
75
But if you're gone for a long time,
76
she would like go around in circles and bark and do all the things.
77
Pull out all the stuff.
78
Pull out all the stuff.
79
The toys.
80
Yes.
81
Run and get a toy and all that.
82
He wants to run and go grab something and bring it back to me and show me right when I get back.
83
Yeah.
84
Yeah.
85
I also think they mark time through smell, right?
86
Smells change over time.
87
And our spaces smell like us, right?
88
The longer you're gone, everybody has a smell.
89
It's a perfectly normal thing.
90
And our dogs know it.
91
They'll recognize us by our smell alone.
92
The longer you're gone, the less your space smells of you being there.
93
So time is kind of marked in the passage of odor during the day.
94
Everything is, when you read this book,
95
Marissa, everything is through the nose.
96
Everything is about the smell.
97
I mean, because it's how they see the world, right?
98
They see the world through their nose.
99
Yeah.
100
And that's how their brain works, olfactory cognition.
101
Yeah.
102
Thank you, Marissa.
103
Thank you.
104
Best to your pump.
105
You and Harvey, 10 years together.
106
That's beautiful.
107
So you believe that trying to show your dog that you're the boss can be harmful.
108
And we know that there are lots of trainers who do that,
109
you know, like I'm the one in charge.
110
Why do you not condone that?
111
Well, again, I look at the science,
112
you know, people are looking at wolf behavior to try to explain how you should be with your dog.
113
And there's very old science that said,
114
oh, when you look at wolves in a captive environment,
115
they establish a dominance hierarchy and their leaders are alphas who have access to all the resource.
116
But then when people could actually study how wolves behave naturally in the wild,
117
it turned out they live in family packs and there are leaders of the group.
118
It's the parents who live with their offspring and their offspring's offspring.
119
And so they're not maintaining their leadership by force, by being bossy.
120
They're not bullying, right?
121
They just know more.
122
And so they tend to be in charge.
123
And we are also in that kind of situation.
124
Dogs are our family.
125
They view us as parents, essentially, in that pack.
126
And we control all aspects of their life already, right?
127
We don't need to worry that they're going to try to threaten our leadership
128
and boss them or bully them around for it.
129
I notice that sometimes your dog knows
130
that you're coming even before the car pulls up or if the car's in the driveway,
131
or we've seen these stories on social media of the dog waiting in the window for the kids to come home,
132
or the dog knows that the school bus is coming long before the school bus comes.
133
How do they know that?
134
Are they smelling it, or are they just know it's this time of day?
135
I think both things are true, right?
136
Again, they're great.
137
They understand our habits.
138
So if we create a habit,
139
they learn that perfectly right away.
140
That's how you can train a dog, just by creating relationships.
141
That's how Pavlov trained the dogs.
142
That's right, right?
143
Like they learn association.
144
So if you come and go at the same time every day,
145
they know when that time is and they're ready for you.
146
And if you feed them at the same time every day.
147
They know that as well, right?
148
Even if we don't think we're doing it,
149
the dog will show up ready to be fed.
150
Yeah.
151
But also I do think the smells of the room change over the course of the day
152
and they're attuned to that just like it gets dark outside and we notice that the day is ending, right?
153
It's a totally normal thing for us to notice.
154
They're also noticing the day in odors.
155
I think this is so interesting because,
156
you know, for years we were told that your dog doesn't know the difference between five minutes or five hours.
157
So what you were saying to Marissa really changes all that.
158
That your dog isn't saying,
159
oh, well, 7.07, or it's been 25 minutes or it's been an hour.
160
Right.
161
That's a human concept.
162
That's a human concept.
163
Yeah.
164
They do know the difference between it's been five hours or it's been five minutes or it's been five days.
165
That's right.
166
They do.
167
They feel that and they're noting all those changes of the day as we'd expect, right?
168
And when you're not there, they're stressed.
169
Yeah, it's stressful to be apart, right?
170
But they also can calm from that stress.
171
For some dogs, it's more stressful than others.
172
I had a dog, Sophie,
173
who just literally, I couldn't leave her anywhere.
174
She had such anxiety.
175
She's like howling in the hotel rooms.
176
It's like an insecure attachment, right?
177
Yes.
178
But with a dog who has a secure attachment,
179
when you come, they call.
180
I always say that one of the great joys of my life has been my dogs.
181
So I am deeply committed to their well-being,
182
just like our friends at the Farmer's Dog.
183
From my golden retrievers to my cocker spaniels,
184
I've had 21 dogs over the years.
185
They remind me to slow down,
186
to be present, and to appreciate the small comforts in life.
187
The Farmer's Dog makes human-grade food for our dogs with real ingredients and minimal processing.
188
To all my fellow dog lovers,
189
you know our beloved companions give us so much,
190
and that is why The Farmer's Dog helps us do our best for them.

本課簡介

在本節課中,學習者將通過觀看一段關於狗狗與主人分離時情感反應的對話來提升英語聆聽和口語表達能力。影片內容探討了狗狗在與人分離時的情感和緊張體驗。這將幫助學習者更好地理解如何通過影子跟讀的方式,提高英語口語流利度和語音語調把握。

關鍵詞彙與短語

  • 情感反應 (Emotional reaction) - 狗在看見主人準備離開時的情感表現。
  • 重新連線 (Reconnect) - 與寵物重新建立聯絡的過程。
  • 焦慮 (Anxiety) - 分離時狗狗所感受到的不安情緒。
  • 旅行 (Travel) - 狗狗與主人在不同地點的共同經歷。
  • 時間概念 (Concept of time) - 寵物對主人的離開時間的理解。
  • 依戀 (Attachment) - 狗狗與主人之間的情感紐帶。
  • 分離 (Separation) - 主人與狗狗之間的分開狀態。
  • 經歷 (Experience) - 主人與狗狗一起生活和探險的點滴。

練習技巧

在進行英語影子跟讀的練習時,建議學習者選擇適宜的段落,反覆聆聽並模仿影片中的對話速度和語調。注意狗狗母親在敘述中表達情感時的語氣變化,尤其是當提到狗狗的焦慮和依戀時,這種情感可以通過聲調的高低、速度的快慢等方式表達出來。

為提高口語練習的效果,學習者可以考慮以下幾點:

  • 選擇短小段落進行反覆跟讀,逐步提高練習長度。
  • 在練習時,不妨放慢速度,確保每個單詞的發音清晰可辨。
  • 使用shadow speech方法,嘗試在說話的同時思考影片中的情境,增強與內容的連結。
  • 與他人一起練習,互相糾正發音和語調,使學習過程更加生動有趣。

通過不斷的英語口語練習和shadowspeak技巧,學習者將能逐漸提高自己的口語能力,流利地表達自己的觀點和情感。

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 known · have now spent · We've lived
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的be fed · were told

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。
