1
If you spell drawer backwards, you get a reward.
2
But if you spell repaid backwards, you get a diaper.
3
If a word doesn't change when its spelling is reversed, we call it a palindrome.
4
But if when reversed it becomes an entirely new word, it's not called a palindrome, it's called an ammordnolap.
5
And this is my ammordnolap palindrome machine.
6
When it comes to wordplay, I am an avid diva.
7
But I've never really been happy with my demonstrations of them.
8
They're always kind of messy.
9
For years, I've dreamt of a way to reverse physical letters with just one clear motion
10
that doesn't also flip the letters upside down.
11
Now my first idea was a kind of Ferris wheel with weighted letters that always hung right side up.
12
But I was not about to ride gravity's coattails on this one, not for something this personal.
13
So instead, I devised a toothed solution.
14
Notice that when connected like this, these larger gears all turn together.
15
Now that means that if I keep any one of them oriented how I want, the others will stay that way too.
16
I was getting close to finally realizing my dream of showing with a single simple flourish that,
17
for example, Margaret would be a beautiful name for a billion kilograms of mass.
18
The next problem was figuring out how to stick these magnetic letters on the plastic gears.
19
Glue, maybe tape?
20
Get real.
21
I want something that makes me say, wow.
22
I don't want the gears to get all sticky and messed up.
23
And I want easily switching letters to be a challenge that can be won now.
24
So I decided to use some magnets I found in a tube that said, don't touch.
25
They were so strong, they could stick on by just tugging each other across a gear.
26
But I needed clearance in the back for that to happen.
27
Luckily, a single double bushing was all it took.
28
Speaking of double, if you're expecting twins, why not give them a pair of names that are Amortenalaps?
29
Like Cassie and Isaac, Noelle and Leon, or Iris and Siri.
30
Oh, and also Harper Lee's first name, Nell, was given to her in backwards honor of her grandmother, whose name was Ellen.
31
When it was all done, I finally had a contraption that could demonstrate Amortenalaps that were as sweet as desserts without getting stressed.
32
I could also remind people that if a leveler does a bad job, they will be asked to re-level.
33
Ultimately I put 11 gears on my machine, which is enough to spell abophobia, the fear of palindromes.

關於本課
在這一課中，您將通過觀看影片《我建立了一個反向詞機器》來練習您的英語口語。該影片展示瞭如何通過有趣的語言遊戲和示例，介紹了反向拼寫詞的趣味性。您將學習關於“反向詞”（emordnilap）和其他與拼寫相關的概念，提升您的語言理解能力並增強您的口語表達。這對於英語口語練習非常重要，能夠幫助提高英語發音和流利度。
關鍵詞彙與短語
- 反向詞（emordnilap） - 當一個詞反向拼寫時變成另一個新詞。
- 迴文（palindrome） - 反向拼寫不以任何方式改變的詞，例如“level”。
- 重力（gravity） - 自然力量，使物體向地面墜落。
- 磁性字母（magnetic letters） - 用於構建和展示文字的字母，可以吸附在表面上。
- 拼寫（spelling） - 表達一個詞的正確字元組合。
- 詞語遊戲（wordplay） - 利用語言的雙關和巧妙表達進行的幽默或娛樂。
- 示例（example） - 用於說明或支撐觀點的例項。
練習技巧
在觀看這個影片時，請注意影片中的語速和語調。確保您採用英語影子跟讀的方法進行練習，嘗試模仿影片中講述者的語音特徵和節奏。此時，您可以使用shadowspeak技巧來逐漸提高語音的流利度。開始時，可以放慢影片播放速度，以便能跟上講解內容。
在重複過程中，試著留意那些 >“反向詞”相關的例子，這將幫助您加深對新詞彙的理解。此外，在每次跟讀時要專注於提高英語發音，保證您的發聲清晰和準確。
總之，通過“看YouTube學英語”的方法，不僅可以提升您的語言能力，還能發掘學習英語的樂趣。盡情享受這一奇妙的學習旅程吧！
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 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | is reversed · can be won · was given |
| 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 never really been · I've dreamt |
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。
