  • I suspect you've already got a guess.
  • You'd expect mixed evidence to soften their views, wouldn't you?
  • Why do we cling so tightly?
  • What would change my mind?

需要注意的發音

說話人用了 7 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 don't, I'm, 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: psychologist /ˌsaɪˈkɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/, colleague /ˈkɒliːɡ/, analyst /ˈænəlɪst/, forecast /ˈfɔːkɑːst/
  • /æ/ — 嘴張大，不要讀成 /e/: scanner /ˈskænə/, analyst /ˈænəlɪst/

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 psychologist, puzzle, soften 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。
