I mean you guys most of you come from companies where
2
you've had work experience right how many of you from manufacturing companies?
3
Oh excellent.
4
Where are the rest of you from?
5
How many from consulting?
6
Oh, that's bad
7
You should do something
8
No, seriously, I don't think there's anything inherently evil in consulting.
9
I think that I think that without owning something over an extended period of time,
10
like a few years, where one has a chance to take responsibility for one's recommendations,
11
where one has to see one's recommendations through all action stages
12
and accumulate scar tissue for the mistakes and pick oneself up off the ground and dust oneself off,
13
one learns a fraction of what one can.
14
Coming in and making recommendations and not owning the results, not owning the implementation,
15
I think is a fraction of the value and a fraction of the opportunity to learn and get better.
16
And so you do get a broad cut at companies, but it's very thin.
17
It's like a picture of a, I'm a vegetarian, so I won't use steak, but it's like a picture of a banana.
18
You might get a very accurate picture, but it's only two dimensional.

But you never really taste it.

And I think that that's what I think.
27
You're also a variable expense.
28
And in hard times, you find yourself.

- Where are the rest of you from?
- You can say, look, I've worked in bananas.
- You're also a variable expense.
需要注意的發音
說話人用了 8 次縮略和弱讀形式,例如 I've, don't, I'm。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。
- “sh” 和 “zh” 音: recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/, fraction /ˈfɹæk.ʃən/, dimensional /daɪˈmɛn.ʃə.nəl/, tissue /ˈtɪʃ.(j)u/, implementation /ˌɪmplɪmənˈteɪʃən/
- 長單詞——注意重音位置: recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/, dimensional /daɪˈmɛn.ʃə.nəl/, implementation /ˌɪmplɪmənˈteɪʃən/, vegetarian /vɛ.d͡ʒɪˈtɛ.ɹi.ən/, inherently /ɪnˈhɛɹəntli/
中文母語者容易讀錯的音:
- /v/ — 不要讀成 /w/,上齒輕觸下唇: variable [ˈvæɹ.i.ə.bl̩], vegetarian /vɛ.d͡ʒɪˈtɛ.ɹi.ən/
- 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚,後面不要加母音: consult /ˈkɑnsʌlt/, dust /dʌst/, extend /ɛkˈstɛnd/, expense /ɪkˈspɛns/, steak /steɪk/
- /r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: variable [ˈvæɹ.i.ə.bl̩], inherently /ɪnˈhɛɹəntli/
如何用這段影片練習
- 先完整聽一遍影片,不要開口,記下不認識的單詞。
- 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。
- 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比,特別注意 recommendation, fraction, dimensional 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。
