His curse was to do this really hard thing, and he'd get super close to accomplishing it, but then he'd fall back,

127
It's just an arbitrary number.
128
I don't need to break three hours to know who I am.
129
What matters are the experiences, the journey, even if I failed in the goal.
130
See, life's a battle, and there are times when you need to accept that you've been beat.
131
It's been a long road, and there's a lot to be proud of, but I'm never gonna break three.
132
I'm just not that guy.
133
Oh, fuck that.
134

And literally no one cares but you, but you persevere anyway.
147
You keep running.
148
You keep running, you don't quit, you die trying.

值得反覆跟讀的句子

影片中簡短而完整的句子，可以直接用在日常對話裡：

  • You're finally brave enough to ask her out.
  • I was like, are you okay?
  • Starting now, I'd run every day.
  • I'm not going to make a good time.
  • Moreover, why do I care anymore?

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
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who's been cursed · haven't done · I've ever been
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的was snapped · been cursed

需要注意的發音

說話人用了 43 次縮略和弱讀形式，例如 you're, I'm, I'd。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。

  • “th” 音: marathon /ˈmæɹəθən/, mythology /mɪˈθɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/
  • “sh” 和 “zh” 音: accomplish /əˈkɑm.plɪʃ/, obsession /əbˈsɛʃən/, accomplishment /əˈkɑm.plɪʃ.mənt/, shortcut /ˈʃɔːtkʌt/
  • 長單詞——注意重音位置: motorcycle /ˈmoʊtɚˌsaɪkəl/, arbitrary /ˈɑː.bɪ.tɹə.ɹi/, eternity /əˈtɜɹnəti/, accomplishment /əˈkɑm.plɪʃ.mənt/, mythology /mɪˈθɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/

中文母語者容易讀錯的音：

  • /v/ — 不要讀成 /w/，上齒輕觸下唇: brave /bɹeɪv/, invest /ɪnˈvɛst/, recover /ɹɪˈkʌvɚ/, moreover /mɔːˈɹəʊ.və/, persevere /ˌpɝ.səˈviɹ/
  • 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚，後面不要加母音: pace /peɪs/, curse /kɝs/, knock /nɑk/, meaningless /ˈmiː.nɪŋ.ləs/, fort /fɔɹt/
  • /æ/ — 嘴張大，不要讀成 /e/: marathon /ˈmæɹəθən/, marry /ˈmæɹi/, snap /snæp/, embarrass /ɪmˈbæɹəs/

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 marathon, pace, curse 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。
