需要注意的發音
說話人用了 10 次縮略和弱讀形式,例如 can't, aren't, don't。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。
- “sh” 和 “zh” 音: friction /ˈfɹɪkʃən/, evolutionary /ˌiː.vəˈluː.ʃən.ɛɹ.i/
- 長單詞——注意重音位置: autopilot /ˈɔtoʊˌpaɪlət/, evolutionary /ˌiː.vəˈluː.ʃən.ɛɹ.i/, genuinely /ˈd͡ʒɛn.ju.ɪn.li/
中文母語者容易讀錯的音:
- /v/ — 不要讀成 /w/,上齒輕觸下唇: conserve /kənˈsɜː(ɹ)v/, motivate /ˈmoʊ.tɪ.veɪt/, evolutionary /ˌiː.vəˈluː.ʃən.ɛɹ.i/, dive /daɪv/

如何用這段影片練習
- 先完整聽一遍影片,不要開口,記下不認識的單詞。

- 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比,特別注意 willpower, pour, ancestor 這類單詞。
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。
