1
When I was 29, I told myself the next acting job I get, no matter what it pays, I will from now on,
2
for better or worse, be a working actor.
3
So I quit my position at the professional examination services,
4
and now I didn't have either the internet or a cell phone or a job. But something good happened.
5
I got a low-paying theater job in a play called Imperfect Love, which led to a film called 13 Moons with the same writer,
6
which led to other roles, which led to other roles.
7
And I've worked as an actor ever since.
8
I didn't know that would happen.
9
At 29, walking away from data processing, I was terrified.
10
Ten years in a place without heat, six years at a job I felt stuck in, maybe I was afraid of change. Are you?
11
My parents didn't have much money, but they struggled to send me to the best schools.
12
And one of the most important things they did for me is that once I graduated, I was on my own.
13
financially it was my turn.
14
But this made me very hungry.
15
Literally.
16
I couldn't be lazy.
17
Now I'm totally lazy, but back then, I couldn't be.
18
And so at 29, in a very long last, I was in the company of the actors and writers and directors I'd sought out that first year,
19
that first day after school.
20
I was, I am, by their size.
21
Raise the rest of your life to meet you.
22
Don't search for defining moments because they will never come.
23
The moments that define you have already happened.
24
And they will already happen again.
25
Sorry, it sucks after graduation.
26
It really does.
27
I mean, I don't know, at least it did for me.
28
But that's the only thing I know.
29
You.. you just get a bit derailed.
30
But soon something starts to happen.
31
trust me a rhythm sets in just try not to wait until like me you're 29 before you find it
32
and if you are that's fine too some of us you never find it but you will I promise you
33
what did Beckett say Ever tried.
34
Ever failed.
35
No matter.
36
Try again.
37
Fail again.
38
Fail better.

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。
