Hsu killed the Iceman?
4
In 1991, high in the mountains of Europe, hikers made a shocking discovery.
5
A dead man partly frozen in the ice.
6
The police investigation soon became a scientific one.
7
Carbon dating one indicated that the man died over 5,300 years ago.
8
Today, he is known as the Iceman and nicknamed Ötzi for the Öztal Alps where he was found.
9
Kept in perfect condition by the ice, he is the oldest complete human body found on Earth.
10
Who was the Iceman?
11
B scientists believe Ötzi was an important person in his village.
12
Examinations of his teeth and skull tell us he was in his mid-forties when he died.
13
The things he carried also tell us about who he was.
14
His knife was made of stone, but he carried a copper axe.
15
This was a valuable tool in Ötzi's time and suggests that he may have been a local leader.
16
A fire-starting kit was discovered with him, so we know he could make fire.
17
And the food he ate and carried enabled scientists to know exactly where in Italy he lived, a village down in the valley.
18
Clues to an ancient murder see, but why did Ötzi die in such a high and icy place?
19
Some said he was a lost farmer or shepherd.
20
Three, others thought he was killed in a religious ceremony.
21
No one knows for sure.
22
D, over the years, tiny scientific discoveries have led to great changes in our understanding of Ötzi's story.
23
Once, the story was that he fled up there and walked around in the snow and probably died of exposure, said scientist Klaus Ergel.
24
Now it's all changed.
25
It's more like a crime scene.
26
A bloody discovery.
27
In fact, the newest scientific information indicates Otzi was cruelly murdered.
28
In June 2001, an X-ray of the body showed a small, dark shape beneath Otzi's left shoulder.
29
It was the stone head of an arrow that had hit him from behind.
30
CT scans showed that this caused an injury that killed him very quickly.
31
F then, in 2003, an Australian scientist discovered the blood of four other people on Otzi's clothes.
32
Was Otzi killed in a fight?
33
It isn't likely as Otzi's other injuries on his hand and head had already started to close.
34
This means there probably was a fight, but it happened much earlier.
35
Gee, perhaps Otzi was being chased when he died.
36
In 2010, scientists took the mummy out of the cold and examined him again.
37
They discovered that just before his death he had a big meal of bread and goat meat.
38
In 2018, further analysis of his stomach showed Ötzi had also eaten deer meat.
39
Would someone being chased stop to eat a large meal?
40
The scientists don't think so.
41
More likely, he was attacked while resting.
42
He may have thought he had escaped and was safe.
43
Today, the research continues, proving some of these ideas as false while opening the door to others.
44
Otzi, it seems, has more to tell us about his life and the time in which he lived.

推薦影片
為何這個影片是絕佳的口語練習素材?
這個關於“冰人奧茨”的影片不僅故事性強,還包含大量實用表達,非常適合英語影子跟讀。影片中的句子長短適中,語速自然,涵蓋了過去時態、因果邏輯等口語高頻考點,能幫助學習者在練習發音的同時,提升敘事和推理能力。比如描述考古發現的段落,用詞精準又生動,對雅思口語練習中的“歷史事件”話題也很有幫助。
拆解地道表達,學習自然口語
我們來看看影片裡的幾個經典句子:
- “Kept in perfect condition by the ice, he is the oldest complete human body found on Earth.” 這句話用過去分詞作狀語,簡潔地表達了“被冰儲存”的狀態,口語中這樣的結構能讓表達更流暢,避免重複。
- “This was a valuable tool in Ötzi's time and suggests that he may have been a local leader.” 這裡的“suggests that”和“may have been”是推測類表達的典型用法,在口語中講述觀點時非常實用,能讓語氣更委婉。
- “Would someone being chased stop to eat a large meal? The scientists don't think so.” 反問句加簡短回答的結構,符合日常對話邏輯,能讓交流更有互動感,適合shadow speech練習時模仿語氣。
簡單有效的影子跟讀練習步驟
利用這個影片做影子跟讀,可以試試“重複-記錄-對比”的迴圈:
- 先完整聽一遍影片,熟悉故事脈絡和語速。
- 逐句播放,每句暫停後立即跟讀,儘量模仿發音、語調和停頓。用手機記錄自己的跟讀音訊。
- 對比原影片和自己的錄音,重點關注“was found”“caused an injury”等連讀和弱讀部分,以及“Now it's all changed”這樣的短句的語氣。
- 每天練習10分鐘,堅持一週,你會發現自己的口語流暢度和語感明顯提升。
這個方法不僅適合新手,對有一定基礎的學習者也能幫助突破“中式口音”瓶頸。想要找到更多類似素材,不妨搜尋shadowing site,結合不同主題練習,效果更佳。
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 known · was made · was discovered |
| 用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 動詞 — 有可能但不確定的事 | may have |
| 最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的 | the oldest · the newest |
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。
