1
For far too long, people have sorted themselves into two camps-- those who are creative and those who aren't.
長久以來，人們一直將自己劃分為兩個陣營——有創造力的人和沒有創造力的人。
2
Like any trait, self-selected, non-creatives have believed they were simply born without the creative gene.
就像任何特質一樣，那些自認不具備創造力的人一直認為，自己天生就缺少創造力基因。
3
But according to bestselling author Joseph Grenny, creativity is actually learnable.
但暢銷書作家約瑟夫·格雷尼表示，創造力實際上是可以後天學習的。
4
Grenny arrived at this revelation when he found himself in way over his head on a project in Kenya.
格雷尼是在肯亞的一個專案中深陷困境時，才領悟到這一點的。
5
He'd been tasked with generating self-help strategies to propel Kenya's poorest citizens up the economic ladder.
他當時的任務是制定自助策略，幫助肯亞最貧困的民眾提升經濟地位。
6
The problem was Grenny had zero experience doing this.
問題在於，Grenny完全沒有做這件事的經驗。
7
So like all of us, he hoped and prayed that ideas would come, and they did.
所以和我們所有人一樣，他滿懷希望並祈禱靈感能夠降臨，而靈感也確實來了。
8
The project was a success.
這個專案取得了成功。
9
But in hindsight, Grenny realized he'd actually been doing much more than merely invoking help from the heavens for solutions.
但事後回想起來，格雷尼意識到自己當時所做的遠不止是向蒼天祈求解決問題的辦法。
10
Grenny's great takeaway was that, while no one can isolate all of the variables that summon imagination, he had reliably created the conditions that invited it.
格雷尼最有價值的心得是，雖然沒有人能分離出所有催生想像力的變數，但他已經可靠地營造出了能夠吸引想像力的條件。
11
Perhaps more importantly, Grenny saw that anyone can make themselves more predictably creative by following the same principles.
12
One of Grenny's ideas for inviting innovation is to frame the problem at hand.
13
Once the problem is clearly articulated, step back and allow the problem to turn in your mind.
14
Like a grain of sand in an oyster, the cognitive irritation stimulates creativity, and the unconscious gets to work.
15
Another creativity conjuring tip is to obey your curiosity.
16
This means following paths that have no obvious purpose other than to satisfy a whim.
17
Maybe it's reading an article that catches your eye or attending a conference session that intrigues you.
18
It's tempting to let these opportunities pass.
19
But if you do, it could be at your own creative peril.
20
If creativity is just connecting things, as some have said, you'll be more creative if you have more things to connect.
21
But Grenny says you should also do things that don't interest you.
22
This can be difficult advice to follow.
23
No one wants to watch that boring looking video someone sent.
24
But lots of tasks that begin as a chore often end with an insight.
25
Sometimes we call things boring simply because they lie outside the box we're currently in.
26
As for boxes, Grenny recommends that you keep a shoebox or something similar to store your experiences and that you revisit it often.
27
If you are obeying your curiosity and doing things that don't interest you, that shoe box will be chock full of new ideas before you know it.
28
Grenny also advises that we invite uncomfortable conversations.
29
You'd be surprised by what you can learn from discussions with people you might not normally engage with.
30
Debating politics with someone from an opposing party, questioning a con artist, or exploring the idea of home with a child refugee forces us to grapple with another's perspective and expands our powers of empathy.
31
And Grenny's final idea for summoning creativity, when you feel creativity hit, stop whatever else you're doing and focus on it.
32
We know when inspiration is brewing inside of us.
33
The trick is to respect these moments by jotting down our thoughts as they come.
34
Ignore these moments or try to kick them down the road, and they'll be nearly impossible to re-summit.
35
Sure, creativity may always be part mystery.
36
But by following Grenny's advice, we can all invite it's arrival.

本課概述
在本課中，您將學習如何在需要時激發創意。許多學習者自認為缺乏創造力，但其實創造力是可以培養的。通過研究最佳暢銷書作者約瑟夫·格倫尼的觀點，您將瞭解到如何構建條件以激發您的創造思維。您將練習描述問題，跟隨好奇心的指引，並接受那些可能不感興趣的事物，從而拓寬自己的思維邊界。這些技巧不僅適用於創意的產生，也能幫助您提高英語發音能力，增強表達能力。
關鍵詞彙與短語
- 創造力 (Creativity)
- 經濟階梯 (Economic ladder)
- 好奇心 (Curiosity)
- 不舒服的對話 (Uncomfortable conversations)
- 思維框架 (Framing the problem)
- 超越舒適區 (Stepping out of the comfort zone)
- 靈感 (Inspiration)
- 洞察力 (Insight)
練習技巧
在跟讀的過程中，您可以利用一些技巧來提高您的 英語發音 和表達能力。首先，建議您多次反覆收聽影片，準確模仿格倫尼的語調和速度。在進行 影子跟讀 時，保持放鬆，並注重發音的準確性。在各個短語中，嘗試強調不同的單詞，以感受語音的節奏與情感。此外，與同伴進行 shadow speech 練習也是一種極好的方法，您可以錄下自己的聲音並與影片進行比較，找到發音上的差距，在此基礎上反覆練習。能夠流暢地進行 英語影子跟讀，將使您在溝通時更加自信。
記住，培養創造力需要時間和耐心，多嘗試不同的技巧，您會發現新的思維方式將不斷激發您的靈感。在 shadowing site 上尋找相關資源，可以幫助您進一步提升自己的語言能力！
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 | have sorted · have believed · have said |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | were simply born · been tasked |
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。
