影片中簡短而完整的句子，可以直接用在日常對話裡：

  • When did you last laugh out loud?
  • I bet it wasn't because of a joke.
  • When we're alone, we hardly laugh at all.

需要注意的發音

說話人用了 9 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 we're, isn't, wasn't。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。

中文母語者容易讀錯的音：

  • 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: scientist /ˈsaɪəntəst/, sandwich /ˈsæn(d).wɪd͡ʒ/, collect /ˈkɑlɪkt/, laugh /læf/, joke /ˈd͡ʒoʊ̯k/
  • /æ/ — 嘴張大，不要讀成 /e/: laughter /ˈlæftɚ/, sandwich /ˈsæn(d).wɪd͡ʒ/, laugh /læf/

如何用這段影片練習

  1. 先完整聽一遍影片，不要開口，記下不認識的單詞。
  2. 用正常速度逐句跟讀，每句重複到你的節奏與說話人一致為止。
  3. 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比，特別注意 laughter, scientist, everyday 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。
