46
I mean here's four smartphones right Motorola Q the Blackberry Palm Treo, Nokia E62, the usual suspects.

They all have these keyboards that are there whether you need them or not to be there.

51
And they all have these control buttons that are fixed in plastic and are the same for every application.

52
Well, every application wants a slightly different user interface, a slightly optimized set of buttons just for it.
嗯，每個應用都想要一套稍有不同的使用者介面，一套專為它最佳化過的按鈕組合。

98
And today, we're going to show you a software breakthrough.
99
Software that's at least five years ahead of what's on any other phone.
100
Now, how do we do this?
101
Well, we start with a strong foundation.
102
iPhone runs OS X.
103
Now, why would we want to run such a sophisticated operating system on a mobile device?
104
Well, because it's got everything we need.
105
It's got multitasking.
106
It's got the best networking.
107
It already knows how to power manage.
108
We've been doing this on mobile computers for years.
109
It's got awesome security.
110
And to write apps, it's got everything from Coco and the graphics, and it's got core animation built in,
111
and it's got the audio and video that OS X is famous for.
112
It's got all the stuff we want, and it's built right in to iPhone.
113
And that has let us create desktop class applications and networking.
114
Right?
115
Not the crippled stuff that you find on most phones.
116
This is real desktop class applications.
117
Now, you know, one of the pioneers of our industry, Alan Kay, has had a lot of great quotes throughout the years.
118
And I ran across one of them recently that explains how we look at this, explains why we go about doing things the way we do,
119
because we love software. And here's the quote.
120
people who are really serious about software should make their own hardware.
121
Alan said this 30 years ago, and this is how we feel about it.
122
And so we're bringing breakthrough software to a mobile device for the first time.
123
It's five years ahead of anything on any other phone.

背景與脈絡
在2007年，史蒂夫·喬布斯攜手蘋果公司，首次向世人介紹了iPhone，這款產品不僅徹底改變了手機的格局，也改變了我們的溝通方式。演講中，喬布斯提到了過去幾年中蘋果如何不斷推陳出新，推出了許多劃時代的產品。 iPhone被描繪為一個集音樂播放器、手機和網路通訊工具於一身的革命性裝置，從而體現了科技如何提升我們的生活質量。學習這段演講不僅能提高聽力和口語能力，還能瞭解產品介紹的語言結構，對提升雅思口語練習非常有幫助。
日常交流的五大短語
- 變革性產品 (revolutionary product)
- 改變一切 (changes everything)
- 超越典型智慧手機 (way smarter than any mobile device)
- 使用者介面 (user interface)
- 容易使用 (easy to use)
逐步跟讀指南
為了有效提高你的口說能力，尤其是在準備雅思口語練習時，可以通過以下步驟進行shadow speak練習：
- 聆聽與理解：首先，仔細聆聽喬布斯的演講，注意他在強調產品的哪些特點。在此過程中，試著理解每一個關鍵短語和句子的意思。
- 分段跟讀：將演講內容分成小段落，逐段播放，暫停後重複其內容，這會幫助你掌握語調和節奏。
- 注重語音語調：模仿演講者的發音和語調，這對提高口說流暢性有很大幫助。學習不僅是文字，更重要的是語音和情感的表達。
- 練習重複：選擇幾個關鍵短語進行shadowspeaks，重複幾次，並試著在日常交流中應用。
- 錄音自我反饋：錄下自己跟讀的聲音，並與原片段進行比較，這樣可以找出需要改進的地方。
通過上述方法，你不僅能提高口語能力，還能逐漸適應用英語進行更流利交流的挑戰。將這些技巧融入到你的shadow speech練習中，讓學習變得更加高效有趣。
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 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成進行時 have/has been + -ing — 以前開始、現在仍在繼續的動作 | I've been looking · We've been doing |
| 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 | has been · Apple's been · It's been |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | are called · are fixed · been shipped |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | Touch, which is · people who are |
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。
