現在翻到第5頁的第3節。

Section 3.
3
You will hear two law students called Eleanor
4
and Jamie discussing their work on whether the evidence given by people who witness crimes is reliable.
5
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 26 on page 5.
6
Thank you.
7
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 26.
8
Hi Jamie, I've just been reading this book about eyewitness testimonies.
9
It really goes into how much we can actually rely on what the people who witness crimes actually say
10
and what things influence eyewitness reliability.
11
Oh, I've read a couple of case studies on that too.
12
Can we compare notes?
13
Good idea!
14
It's fascinating to learn that eyewitness identification is such compelling evidence in both civil and criminal trials.
15
You mean if a witness says something, generally they're believed?
16
And reading between the lines, I'd say that when a witness gives evidence in a very self-assured way, everyone takes them at their word.
17
Whether they're a doctor who speaks with an assumed authority, or the average person in the street, it doesn't seem to matter as much as their manner.
18
Right.
19
So, is that textbook worth reading?
20
Yes, it's a good book, divided into user-friendly sections.
21
It refers to case studies and the conclusions are clearly underlined.
22
But actually, some of the cases are more than ten years old now.
23
Well, it's the same problem with the survey reports our tutor gave us.
24
But at least they draw on a representative sample.
25
That's good.
26
All the books point out that eyewitness statements are very often unreliable.
27
But there can be good reasons for that.
28
Like an incident may happen at night in the dark.
29
Or it happened some way away.
30
But it's the fact that it can happen in just a split second that makes the witness's account so unreliable.
31
That point's made very strongly in what I've read too.
32
Yeah.
33
Have you read anything about photo identifications?
34
Yes, about the procedure and the reliability of witnesses looking at photos of different people and picking out the suspect.
35
The case studies all clearly show how easy it is to sway a witness's choice of photo, even just by the flicker of an eye.
36
But steps have been taken now to avoid this happening.
37
And are the witnesses told exactly what they have to do?
38
Mostly.
39
But the trouble is, most people focus on the photos
40
and choose the most likely suspect from the bunch and forget about the actual incident and who they saw at the time.
41
And I read something about a naive observer.
42
Do you know what that is?
43
Is it a witness who's never been in a court before?
44
Oh, I understood it to mean someone who's had nothing to do with the event, and they're asked to look at the photos and pick out the potential suspect. That figures.
45
Then they can see if the photos are a good set and make sure one person doesn't stand out.
46
Another thing I read was that witnesses don't like to change their minds once they've made a particular statement.
47
I thought people might worry about the fact
48
that they told a lie in court
49
and think they might be punished in some way but it's simply that they're afraid of seeming unintelligent or lightweight.
50
Yeah, people are reluctant to lose face.
51
Imagine if a case had been going on for weeks and you suddenly realised you'd got something wrong right at the beginning.
52
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 27 to 30 on page 6.
53
Now listen and answer questions 27 to 30.
54
Changing the topic slightly, can I just check with you what you've understood about the problems of interviewing child witnesses
55
when they've witnessed, for example, a robbery?
56
Yes.
57
Did you get the handout about the stages that should be followed when children are interviewed?
58
Yes.
59
The rapport stage, when a relationship between the child and the interviewer is built up, seems to be crucial.
60
But many children fail to say anything that provides any real information.
61
It must be hard for them not to feel a bit scared about being in a formal setting like a court building.
62
Still, it's a good lead-in to open-ended questions, where the interviewer carefully sticks to their prepared questions in order to remain neutral.
63
I can see the point of that.
64
But the handout discusses the issue of children simply not understanding the specialist language used, so the whole interview just gets more puzzling for them.
65
I think the stage called closed questions is easier for children to handle,
66
they just have to answer yes or no. But everything's not so clear-cut in a child's world,
67
and abstract concepts such as honesty haven't been fully grasped by young children.
68
You mean they make things up?
69
Apparently.
70
And in the final stage, closure, where the interviewer has to check anything that hasn't been made clear to them by repeating previous questions,
71
children often become suspicious of the questioner.
72
It must require lots of training to be able to interview children successfully.
73
Yes, I think...
74
That is the end of Section 3.
75
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
76
Thank you.
77
Thank you.

推薦影片

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語?

觀看這個關於證人可靠性的討論影片,不僅能幫助你提高對英語聽力的理解,還有助於你在真實場景中練習口語交流。影片中的對話涉及法律學生的專業討論,這為學習者提供了一個瞭解法律術語與日常交流相結合的機會。在快速變化的對話中,你可以學習如何用英語進行批判性思考,並表達自己的觀點,提升自信心。

通過採用「影子發音」(shadow speech)的方法,你能夠模仿影片中的說話方式,掌握更自然的發音與語調。定期看這樣的看YouTube學英語,將有助於你在短時間內提高英語水平,特別是在口頭表達及聽力理解方面的能力。

語法與表達在語境中的運用

影片中提到的幾種關鍵結構對英語學習者來說十分重要,其中包括:

  • 第一人稱表達: “我一直在閱讀這本書…” 這種表達方式可以用來分享個人經驗和觀點。
  • 疑問句形式: “你認為這本教科書值得閱讀嗎?” 通過這種方式,你可以引導對話並激發對方的思考。
  • 顯示態度的副詞: “顯然”、“非常”,這些詞彙能加重你對某一觀點的強調。

學習和練習這些句型將幫助你在與他人討論複雜話題時,更加得心應手。

常見發音陷阱

在影片中,有些單詞和短語可能對學習者來說比較棘手。例如:

  • “evidence”:注意發音中的重音位置和音節的清晰度。
  • “identify”: 這個詞的發音可能需要額外練習,確保清楚區分“i”和“a”的發音。
  • “procedure”:這個詞可能在不同口音中有所不同,注意模仿影片中的發音。

通過“影子口語” (shadowspeak) 的方法練習這些單詞,能有效提高你的英語發音。此外,定期參與這種強化練習可以防止你在口語中陷入常見發音錯誤。讓我們一起努力,提高英語發音,並在實際對話中更加自信!

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 read · Have you read · have been taken
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的have been taken · might be punished · should be followed
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物people who witness

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。
