1
Our bodily feelings have important functions.
2
They propel us to take action.
3
For example, when we feel cold, we seek warmth.
4
We assume that these bodily feelings are an accurate indicator of what's actually happening in our body.
5
But this might not be the case.
6
For example, if we show you a red light and then touch your skin with a freezing cold probe, you perceive the probe as being painfully hot.
7
You get it wrong.
8
So what we feel doesn't always reflect what is actually happening.
9
My research evaluated a feeling that most people have experienced, the feeling of stiffness in a joint.
10
And we wondered, is a joint that feels stiff actually biomechanically stiff?
11
Or, could feelings of stiffness serve another purpose, such as protecting us from further movement and injury?
12
So to test this, we recruited people who had back pain and feelings of back stiffness, and we used a specialized machine that applies pressure to their back to measure how stiff their back actually was.
13
And what we found was intriguing.
14
How stiff their back felt did not relate at all to how stiff their backs actually were.
15
But it did relate to how protective they were of their backs.
16
We had participants estimate how much pressure they thought that they received, and people whose backs felt stiffer were more protective.
17
They thought that they were getting much more force than they truly were.
18
So if feelings of stiffness reflect protection rather than actual back stiffness, then adding extra information that would increase or decrease the need to protect their back should then alter perception.
19
And given that sound is often paired with feelings of stiffness, think of a creaking, grinding, cracking when you hear, you hear when a stiff joint moves, we decided to pair the sound of a very creaky door to the pressure applied to participants' backs.
20
We discovered that this sound changed perception.
21
People became more protective.
22
They thought they were getting much more pressure than they truly were.
23
And this is a marker of increased feelings of stiffness.
24
And the type of sound mattered.
25
When we used a nicer sound, a gentle whoosh, people had the opposite response.
26
They began to underestimate pressure, which is a marker of decreased feelings of stiffness.
27
But most importantly, we found that the meaning behind sound matters.
28
We tested what happens when the creaky door sound gets less and less creaky over time, kind of like oiling a creaky gate.
29
We found that people began to underestimate pressure.
30
So despite an identical sound, merely changing its volume and thus its meaning, evoked opposite responses.
31
Together, this suggests that feelings of back stiffness don't only relate to what's going on in the joints and the muscles of the back.
32
Rather, they are a protective perceptual construct.
33
And information from numerous sources, including sound, is used to create this perceptual feeling of stiffness.
34
And this has important implications for treatment because it suggests that we may be able to target feelings of stiffness without targeting the stiff joint itself, but instead by targeting how the perception is created.
35
So in the future, when you have a stiff back or a stiff knee, the treatment you get might include listening to different sounds while you move so that we can break the association between feelings of stiffness and movement.
36
Thank you.

為什麼要通過這個影片練習口語？
觀看並練習這個影片不僅可以提升您的英語口語能力，還能幫助您在實際情境中理解身體的感覺如何影響我們的動作。例如，影片中提到的“背部僵硬”的感覺，以及如何通過聲音影響這種感覺，可以引導您在與他人交流時運用這些知識。通過英語影子跟讀，您可以模仿說話者的語氣、語速和表達，進而提升在雅思口語練習中的自信心和流利度。
語法與上下文中的表達
本影片中使用了幾種關鍵的句子結構和動詞形式，幫助學習者理解如何使用語言表達複雜的想法：
- When we feel cold, we seek warmth. – 這是一個典型的條件句結構，用於描述自然反應。
- How stiff their back felt did not relate at all to how stiff their backs actually were. – 這裡使用了過去時和被動語態，強調感覺與事實之間的差異。
- It suggests that we may be able to target feelings of stiffness without targeting the stiff joint itself. – 使用了情態動詞“may”來表示可能性，適合在討論建議時使用。
通過練習這些結構，您能夠在與他人對話中有效表達複雜的思考，尤其是在shadow speech和shadowing site中加強語法使用的能力。
常見的發音陷阱
在影片中，有些詞彙和發音可能對學習者造成困難，尤其是在快速對話中：
- Stiffness – 注意結尾的“ness”發音，容易與其他字混淆。
- Biomechanically – 這個詞較長，記得將重音放在第二個音節上。
- Perception – 結尾的“tion”需要清楚發音，以免讓聽者產生誤解。
通過不斷練習上述發音，您可以有效提高自己的口音與流利度，使自己的雅思口語練習更加自信，表達更加清晰。
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 often paired · is created |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | people who had · pressure, which is |
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。
