1
This feels like an obvious thing to say, but tanks are expensive, both to buy and to fuel.
2
If you want to train someone to drive one, it'd be great if they could learn the basics on a simulator first.
3
So in the 1970s, the Swiss Army had the idea to design and build tank simulators.
4
But this was well before computer-generated images, they couldn't create a virtual world.
5
So instead, they built a wonderful example of 70s analog technology.
6
The view screen in that box is connected to a real camera and a real miniature landscape through there.
7
In the past, thousands and thousands of tank drivers trained on machines like that.
8
There's now only one simulator left in the world, and it's in the Swiss Military Museum about an hour north of Zurich.
9
And tourists can try it.
10
There existed in the past 12 simulators for different type of tanks.
11
It's very accurate for teaching the basics and teaching where to go with the hand and with the feet.
12
Put that over your head, and then, because in a normal tank it's too loud with the motor noises, we have a special microphone that goes around exactly the throat mic.
13
So this goes on like...
14
Yes.
15
Oh, that is...
16
Okay, that's interesting.
17
Yep, okay.
18
That's it.
19
Okay.
20
Looks good.
21
Let's let's drive a tank.
22
Yeah, I wish you a good drive.
23
Thank you.
24
Wow, okay.
25
All right, so...
26
So I'm gonna start the hydraulics.
27
Yep.
28
Oh boy, okay.
29
Okay.
30
Haha.
31
Sounds good.
32
Now you can start the main motor.
33
Starting the main motor.
34
Very well, sounds good.
35
Fucking brake is off.
36
Okay.
37
Should probably be on the right hand side of the road I guess.
38
Umm, you can drive in the middle.
39
I'm in a tank.
40
It's a tank.
41
What am I gonna do?
42
Alright.
43
Yeah, sure.
44
You can go into fourth gear.
45
Fourth gear.
46
Oh!
47
Okay, I'm gonna sit a little bit more forward so I don't hit the back of my head when that happens.
48
That's the only one of the Type 68 tank that's remaining and we managed to get it running here.
49
It took roughly about one and a half, two years.
50
We had to really go into it from ground up.
51
It was very difficult, not for everything, but mostly for the electrical and electronic parts,
52
because it's all tech, it's not like you can go to any supermarket and buy it.
53
Fifth gear?
54
Fifth gear.
55
I need to sit forward.
56
This feels very fast now, all of a sudden.
57
There is something about the analog miniature model.
58
Like not only close up to make sure, but when the trees are in the distance, this is really convincing.
59
There is a memory function on the computer module which on base of this X and Y axis says you're here,
60
you're on gravel, you're on snow, you're on normal earth, you're on road and something like that.
61
If you're driving 2, 3, the feet where the camera sits on just moves up
62
and it's like you're having a panoramic ride right above our model with a helicopter.
63
Okay, we can go ahead.
64
Oh, I am good.
65
Yeah, I've definitely...
66
No worries, left gear.
67
Right, right, right, right.
68
Fifth gear, fifth gear.
69
Fifth gear, fifth gear.
70
Was that being right from the camera?
71
The foot where you're driving on, like it's kind of a metal slide.
72
If that moves a tiny bit, for instance, if there's some contact with it and it moves, for instance, I need to go up to go over that.
73
It will notice that and signalize the cabin that you're moving over something.
74
The camera is original, the foot is original, the whole model is original, everything except for the computer part is original.
75
But it was too old and you don't find parts easily for that, so we have to rebuild it on Raspberry Pi.
76
You can go into fourth gear again if you're comfortable.
77
Yeah.
78
Every time!
79
We should say, of course, this is a bit of fun for tourists now, but this was a serious training game.
80
Like, if you actually have to drive around a tank in wartime, it's a very, very different experience to this.
81
It is really dangerous what you do.
82
Here is a game.
83
It's like a game.
84
This job is not a game.
85
Thank you very much.
86
You're welcome.
87
How do I get out of here?

這個影片適合誰？

無論是剛開始學英語的新手，還是準備雅思口語練習的考生，這個影片都很合適。它的對話自然且貼近生活，語速適中，內容圍繞有趣的坦克模擬器展開，能讓你在瞭解新奇事物的同時，輕鬆提升聽力和口語。尤其是想通過看影片學英語的同學，跟著影片裡的對話進行英語影子跟讀，能有效鍛鍊語感和反應能力。

值得學習的單詞和習語

  • simulator：模擬器。影片中提到的“tank simulator”就是坦克模擬器。
  • hydraulics：液壓系統。“start the hydraulics”即啟動液壓系統。
  • throat mic：喉麥。一種戴在喉部的麥克風，適合嘈雜環境使用。
  • from ground-up：從頭開始。比如“rebuild it from ground-up”就是徹底重建。

如何練好發音？

影片中說話者的發音清晰，帶有輕微的英式口音。練習時可以重點關注以下幾點：一是“tank”“simulator”等單詞的重音位置，避免讀錯；二是“throat mic”中“th”的發音，要咬舌清晰；三是對話中的連讀，比如“kind of”“a lot of”，可以通過shadow speak（影子跟讀）模仿其流暢感。每天跟著影片重複練習10分鐘，堅持一週就能明顯感受到進步。

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
義務：must / have to / need to 表示某事是必要的had to really go · need to sit · need to go
現在進行時 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在發生的事you're driving · you're having · you're moving
“going to” 表將來 be going to + 動詞 — 計劃或明顯即將發生的事gonna start · gonna do · gonna sit

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。
