15

23
emotionally resonant narrative.

24
We are bombarded with spectacle,

25
yet often starved of genuine character development.

26
The business model seems to be predicated on a formulaic approach,

27

28
rather than to genuinely captivate and challenge an audience.

29
It is a cyclical phenomenon.

只要觀眾仍被熟悉的事物所束縛，
31
studios will be disinclined to deviate from the established path.

32
The onus, it seems, is on us,

33
the viewers, to demand more.
讓觀眾們要求更多。
34
Very well, that was phase one of our lesson today, the passive listen.
很好，剛才是我們今天課程的第一階段，也就是被動聽力環節。
35
The purpose here is for you to get my tone of voice,
這裡的目的是讓你掌握我的語氣。
36

37
how I pronounce the words,

38
and become a little bit more familiar with the text you will be practicing now.

39
Now we're going to enter into phase two of our Shadowing practice today,
現在我們要進入今天影子跟讀法練習的第二階段。
40
which is called the Guided Breakdown.

41
Now we're going to break it down piece by piece.
現在我們將一步步拆解分析。
42
I will read a sentence or phrase at a time,
我會一次讀一個句子或一個短語。
43
and then I'll pause.
然後我會暫停一下。
44
Then it's your turn to repeat it,

46
I'll also highlight and define some key phrases for you to add to your vocabulary.
我還會重點講解一些關鍵短語並給出釋義，幫助你擴充詞彙量。
47
So, let's get started.
那麼，我們開始吧。
48
The first phrase, listen.
第一句話，聽著。
49
It is a widely held belief, perhaps even a truism.
這是一個被廣泛認同的信念，甚至可以說是一條不言而喻的真理。
50
Very well.
很好。
51
The word truism means a statement that is obviously true and says nothing new or interesting.
truism這個詞指的是明顯正確、沒有新意或無趣的陳述。
52
Now on to phrase two.
現在進入第二階段。
53
A compelling argument can be made that the industry has,
有一個極具說服力的觀點認為，該行業已經
54
in many respects, lost its creative footing.
在很多方面都失去了創作的立足點。
55
Now, it's your turn.
現在輪到你了。
56
Repeat.
重複。
57
Good job.
幹得好。
58
A compelling argument is an argument that is forceful and convincing.
一個有說服力的論證是有力且令人信服的論證。
59
It's compelling.
這很有說服力。
60
You can't ignore it.
你不能忽視它。
61
Phrase 3.
短語 3。
62
Listen.
聽著。
63
The proliferation of endless franchise sequels has,
層出不窮的系列續集氾濫成災的現象已經
64
to a significant degree, stifled originality.
在很大程度上扼殺了原創性。
65
Your turn.
66
Very well.
67
The word proliferation means a rapid increase in the number or amount of something.
68
Think about a virus or disease that proliferates.
69
Now, the word to stifle,
70
that's a verb, and if you stifle something,
71
you prevent or stop it from happening or developing.
72
So when I say that the way movies are made nowadays stifle originality,
73
we can understand suppress originality or prevents people from being truly original nowadays.
74
Phrase four.
75
Listen.
76
Prioritizing risk-averse commercial viability over artistic innovation.
77
Your turn.
78
Good job.
79
Risk-averse means unwilling to take risks or to take on new and challenging tasks.
80
So if a person is risk-averse,
81
that person does not like to take any risks.
82
But here's the thing, when it comes to creativity,
83
creating something original like a good movie,
84
you need to take risks if you are to be original,
85
innovative, or even creative.
86
Let's move on now to phrase four.
87
Listen closely.
88
Furthermore, the ubiquitous reliance on computer-generated imagery often comes at the expense of...
89
Your turn.
90
Good job.
91
The word ubiquitous is a great word.
92
It's a highly advanced word.
93
And if something is ubiquitous, it's everywhere.
94
It can be seen, it can be found everywhere to the point that it has become trivial.
95
Now, what's interesting also in this phrase is the connected speech here,
96
because I say reliance on computer generated imagery.
97
Listen, computer generated imagery, computer generated imagery.
98
Between generated and imagery, there is a sound going on there.
99
When I connect the sounds, look, computer generated imagery.
100
Generated, generated, generated imagery, generated imagery.
101
Like that.
102
Computer generated imagery.
103
Let's move on now to phrase six.
104
Listen closely.
105
We are bombarded with spectacle,
106
yet often starved of genuine character development.
107
Your turn.
108
So if you are bombarded with something,
109
there's a lot of that coming your way, coming your direction.
110
So it's like you're receiving a constant stream of something.
111
When I say we are bombarded with spectacle,
112
it feels like movies nowadays,
113
they are a spectacle of visual special effects.
114
We are bombarded with visual effects but the story,
115
the character development, they're really poor.
116
They're not really well developed.
117
Another great C1 advanced word here is starved of.
118
Starved of, you see?
119
Starved of genuine character development.
120
If you starve of something,
121
it means that you lack something,
122
even though you need it.
123
Think about starving for food.
124
When you are starving, you are very hungry,
125
so you need to eat.
126
But here, we are starved of genuine character development in movies.
127
we need to see great well-written characters on screen,
128
but those are becoming more and more rare.
129
Moving on to phrase seven now,
130
the business model seems to be predicated on a formulaic approach.
131
Your turn.
132
Great job.
133
If I say that something is predicated on something else,
134
it means that it's based on that something else.
135
It's based on a particular idea or belief.
136
And something formulaic is something that follows a built formula,
137
a previously created patterned formula.
138
All right.
139
So if you think about it,
140
movies nowadays, that's what they are.
141
They follow a predictable, often boring and unoriginal formula.
142
So, the storylines are formulaic.
143
Nothing is original anymore.
144
Phrase 8.
145
Listen.
146
It is a cyclical phenomenon.
147
As long as audiences remain captive to the familiar,
148
studios will be disinclined to deviate from the established path.
149
Your turn.
150
Repeat.
151
Good job.
152
So if something is cyclical, it moves in cycles.
153
It is happening or occurring repeatedly in a fixed pattern or cycle,
154
like I just said.
155
And if you are disinclined to do something,
156
you are reluctant to do it.
157
You are unwilling to do it.
158
I mean, as formulaic as these movies nowadays are, they are cash grabs.
159
They are quick cash grabs.
160
They bring tons of money to the studios.
161
So apparently that's what people want nowadays.
162
So why would the studios worry about originality?
163
So they are disinclined to allow space for original storylines, original movies.
164
just let's keep doing the same thing because you know it's bringing us money
165
the word deviate is also a great advanced word
166
if you deviate from a plan you move away from it you depart from an established course
167
or normal way of doing things
168
and now finally phrase nine listen the onus it seems is
169
on us the viewers to demand more your
170
turn repeat very nice owners means responsibility the responsibility
171
or duty even to do something
172
so the owners is on us the responsibility is on us the viewers to demand more better quality movies movies
173
that are actually interesting to watch with interesting storylines and great character development and performances.
174
All right.
175
Very well.
176
So we have just finished phase two of our shadowing practice.
177
Remember, phase one, you just listen to me reading the entire paragraph to get an idea of the words in the message.
178
Phase two, we did a little shadowing here,
179
but you were listening to me phrase by phrase and repeating right after.
180
And I also defined some vocabulary here for you.
181
Now let's go to phase three,
182
which is the full shadowing experience or the full shadowing practice.
183
Now it's time to put it all together.
184
I'm gonna read the full script again,
185
and I want you to speak along with me now, simultaneously.
186
Alright?
187
Try to match my tone, speed, and rhythm.
188
Don't worry about being perfect.
189
Just feel the flow of the language,
190
and, well, let's have some fun and begin.
191
It is a widely held belief,
192
perhaps even a truism, that the golden age of cinema is a relic of the past.
193
While some might dismiss this as mere nostalgia,
194
a compelling argument can be made that the industry has,
195
in many respects, lost its creative footing.
196
The proliferation of endless franchise sequels in cinematic universes has,
197
to a significant degree, stifled originality,
198
prioritizing risk-averse commercial viability over artistic innovation.
199
Furthermore, the ubiquitous reliance on computer-generated imagery often comes at the expense of a tangible,
200
emotionally resonant narrative.
201
We are bombarded with spectacle,
202
yet often starved of genuine character development.
203
The business model seems to be predicated on a formulaic approach,
204
designed to maximize box office returns,
205
rather than to genuinely captivate and challenge an audience.
206
It is a cyclical phenomenon.
207
As long as audiences remain captive to the familiar,
208
studios will be disinclined to deviate from the established path.
209
The onus, it seems, is on us,
210
the viewers, to demand more.
211
And there you have it.
212
How did you do?
213
Hope you did well, and hope you found it useful.
214
Now, let's just quickly, briefly recap here the vocabulary and some phrases we covered today.
215
All of these words that we learned today are more advanced,
216
are more targeted at C1 and even C2 levels.
217
So remember, it is a wildly held belief.
218
Truism.
219
That's a great word.
220
A compelling argument.
221
Proliferation.
222
Stifle.
223
Risk averse.
224
Ubiquitous.
225
Bombarded with.
226
Starved of.
227
predicated on, formulaic, cyclical or cyclical phenomenon, disinclined, deviate, onus.
228
All right?
229
So make sure you add those words to your vocabulary.
230
I really encourage you to re-watch this video multiple times and practice these lines again,
231
focusing on the sections you found most challenging.
232
And I also suggest try practicing without looking at the words and the phrases sometimes.
233
Focus on the listening as well.
234
Just listening to what I'm saying and trying to shadow by listening.
235
So try both approaches.
236
All right.
237
But now I have a question for you.
238
Do you agree that movies are getting worse?
239
What is the last film you saw that genuinely captivated you?
240
Let me know in the comment section below.
241
I am curious to know.
242
I hope you found this lesson useful and if you want to keep practicing your English speaking through shadowing,
243
you might want to check out this next video.

本節課程簡介
在本節課程中，您將使用“影子模仿”（shadow speech）技巧進行英語口語練習。我們為您準備了一段關於電影產業衰退的C1級獨白。您的任務是傾聽並模仿我的發音、節奏和語調，以提高您的口語流利度和聽力理解能力。本節課將經歷三個階段的口語練習。如果您準備好挑戰自己，我們就開始吧。
重點詞彙與短語
- golden age -黃金時代
- relic of the past -過去的遺物
- commercial viability -商業可行性
- artistic innovation -藝術創新
- character development -角色發展
- cyclical phenomenon -迴圈現象
- demand more -要求更多
- mimic my voice -模仿我的聲音
練習技巧
在進行“影子模仿”（shadowspeaks）時，尤其是在影片的語速與語調中，以下幾點建議將幫助您更有效地練習：
- 專注於聽：在第一階段的被動聆聽中，仔細聆聽每一個單詞的發音及其語氣，這是理解和記憶的關鍵。
- 分段練習：在指導性分解中，逐句模仿是最有效的方式。確保在重複後，暫停一下，以便讓自己記憶和理解這些句子。
- 捕捉語調：不僅要關注單詞，還要注意語調的起伏，因為這將大大提升您的表達能力與自然對話的流暢性。
- 多次重複：不要害怕多練幾遍，重複是掌握髮音和語調的有效途徑。您可以在家中也進行“雅思口語練習”，繼續深化記憶。
- 錄音對比：可以嘗試錄下自己的聲音，和原音進行對比，這樣有助於發現自己的不足之處，進而進行更有針對性的練習。
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 | can be made · are bombarded · be predicated |
| 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 prepared · has become · have just finished |
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。
