It's a question that many are curious, if not a little scared about, but scientists are now closer than ever to understanding what actually happens while you're dying.
這是一個許多人即便心懷些許恐懼也依然好奇的問題,而如今科學家們比以往任何時候都更接近了解人在死亡時究竟會發生什麼。
3
Recently, researchers studied the brains and bodies of dying people to gain new insight into what it feels like as you die.

10
you will likely only be capable of handling small spoonfuls of food and water.
你可能只能一次吃下或喝下幾小勺的食物和水。
11
Step 2 of death: extreme fatigue and unconsciousness.
死亡的第二階段:極度疲憊與失去意識。
12
One study found that 72 % of patients in this phase pre -death dreams involving reuniting with people who had already died,
一項研究發現,處於這一階段的患者中有72%會做與已故親人團聚的臨終夢境。
13
59 % said that they dreamed about getting ready to travel somewhere, and 28 % dreamed of meaningful experiences from their past.
59%的人表示他們夢到自己正準備去某個地方旅行,28%的人夢到了過去的一些有意義的經歷。
14
These pre -death dreams are happening because at this time you are mostly asleep and even dipping into unconsciousness.
這些臨終前的夢境之所以會出現,是因為此時你大多處於睡眠狀態,甚至逐漸陷入無意識狀態。
15
This means that if someone tries to physically wake you up, nothing will happen.
這意味著如果有人試圖通過肢體接觸叫醒你,是不會有任何效果的。
16
The thing is, studies of unconscious patients show that when they did eventually wake up from being unconscious, they thought they were only just asleep.
事實上,對無意識患者的研究表明,當他們最終從無意識狀態中醒來時,會覺得自己只是睡著了而已。
17
Essentially, you are not going to be aware of going in and out of consciousness.
基本上,你不會察覺到自己意識的進出變化。
18
Some reports say that this stage of dying feels a bit like
有報道稱,這個死亡階段的感覺有點像
19
when you can't get out of bed from an intense cold or flu, but when you are dying, the sleep is no longer rejuvenating and the fatigue is consistent.
當你因重感冒或流感臥床不起時,那種睡眠已經無法讓你恢復精力,疲憊感也始終揮之不去。
20
Because at times you are now unconscious, it's harder to plan for oral medications.
21
So at this point, you might be hooked up to syringe pumps
22
or suppositories in order to get oral medications or dying aids before death.
23
light.
24
At this point, studies show that your heart will beat less forcefully, your blood pressure will fall, and your organs, including your brain, will function less.
25
Essentially, your brain is trying to conserve energy as it slowly dies, and this causes your brain to lose the power of inhibition.
26
You may have heard people talking about seeing the light or moving towards the light during near -death experiences.
27
Brain studies on rats show that a dying brain's lack of inhibition causes the visual as well,
28
which may explain why many people report this phenomenon of seeing light as their brain begins to die.
29
Step four of death: Scary Breathing.
30
Known as the death rattle, an unconscious person's breathing still follows the automatic patterns generated by the respiratory system of their brain.
31
But they don't have proper awareness of their mouth and throat, so saliva builds up.
32
The saliva in the back of the throat, mixed with the automatic quick breaths, creates loud breathing noises that many people will observe as disturbing,
33
but it's important to note that the person dying is actually feeling no distress.
34
In fact, the reason that this is happening to the dying person is because physiologically they are so relaxed.
35
Step five of death: brain surging.
36
A 2013 study on rat brains dying from cardiac arrest found
37
that specific brain regions surged with synchronized low gamma waves more coherent than when the rats were alive
38
brain waves were similar to when rats were engaged in high -level cognitive activity.
39
This, of course, got researchers interested in what's happening to our brains as we die as well.
40
In humans, a study on 567 dying men and women had their brains scanned as they were being resuscitated with CPR.
41
It turns out that like the rats, the brains fired in intense ways,
42
and those who survived the CPR reported events with no pain or distress,
43
a meaningful evaluation of their life, and assessing their own actions towards others throughout their life.
44
This is again all likely linked to the disinhibition of our brain as we die.
45
It was also found that this disinhibition caused the part of the brain involved in memory to light up, allowing some people to access stored memories,
46
while other patients, when resuscitated, couldn't remember anything that had just happened to them, even though brain scans in uninhibited, active ways.
47
Some of these patients reported knowing that they were dying, but also that they were going towards a place that felt like home.
48
One other study of a man's brain while dying found
49
that his brain activation was similar to people who were on the psychedelic drug DMT.
50
But more recent studies found resuscitated dying people reported that what they had experienced right before death felt different than hallucinations, illusions, or even dreams.
51
emotions.
52
We actually did a whole podcast on the cognitive side of dying and people's experiences and advice for death.
53
Link here on screen and in the description over on our podcast channel side though.
54
I think about dying all the time.
55
That's why I made this video.
56
Thank you so much for watching and I said peace.

背景與語境
在這段影片中,講述者探索死亡的過程及其伴隨的生理和心理變化,這是一個許多人都好奇卻又感到害怕的話題。科學家們通過對臨終患者大腦和身體的研究,逐步揭示人們在死亡時的真實感受。瞭解這些內容不僅增進了我們對生命的認識,也對面對生死問題時的心理準備有一定幫助。這段對話對學習英語的同學們來說,提供了豐富的詞彙和句法結構,適合進行 英語影子跟讀及其他語言練習。
日常交流中的五個短語
- What does it feel like to die? - “死去的感覺是什麼?”
- First sign of death - “死亡的第一個跡象”
- Extreme fatigue and unconsciousness - “極度疲憊和失去意識”
- Scary Breathing - “可怕的呼吸”
- Going towards a place that felt like home - “走向一個像家的地方”
這些短語在日常對話中可能並不常見,但它們為我們提供了進行深度對話的機會,同時也是提高 shadow speech技巧的理想材料。
逐步影子跟讀指南
為了有效地進行此段影片的 shadow speak練習,您可以採用以下步驟:
- 選擇合適的段落:從影片中挑選短小的段落,使練習不至於感到困難。例如,開始時選擇“第一步——放鬆”部分。
- 聽與跟讀:反覆聽這段影片,將你的注意力集中在講述者的發音和語調上。使用 shadowing site提供的功能,可以方便的暫停和回放。
- 模仿與重複:在聽的同時,嘗試模仿講述者的發音和節奏。可以逐字跟讀,確保你的發音儘量接近原聲。
- 錄音對比:將自己的朗讀錄音與影片進行對比,注意語調、節奏和語速的不同地方,進行調整和改進。
- 鞏固與擴充套件:瞭解並應用文中提到的新詞彙和短語,逐漸增加練習的長度與難度,這樣能夠有效提升英語口語能力。
通過這些步驟,學習者可以逐步掌握並提升 英語影子跟讀的技巧,幫助他們在語言學習的旅程中走得更遠。
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 caused · might be hooked · being resuscitated |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | people who had · those who survived · people who were |
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。
