1
A big thank you to Squarespace for being today's sponsor and for helping me build my new website.
非常感謝 Squarespace 成為今天的贊助商,還幫我搭建了新網站。
2
But more on that later.
不過這個我們稍後再談。
3
Ladies and gentlemen, we are here to tell you that the world is ending.
女士們、先生們,我們在此告知各位,世界即將終結。
4
We're electing everyone who has been tuning in for the past few years.
我們要把過去幾年一直關注我們的所有人都選上。
5
We'll see on the other side.
我們到那邊再看。
6
Goodbye.
再見。
7
Damn.
該死。
8
I guess that was that.
我想事情就是這樣了。
9
So this is kind of a weird topic for me, because it's almost like being a potato and someone going, "How are you so potatoey?" and you're just like,
這個話題對我來說有點奇怪,就好像你是一個土豆,然後有人走過來問:“你怎麼這麼像個土豆啊?”,而你只能一臉懵地站在那兒,
10
"I don't know." I'm just that potatoey and I don't really know of anything else.
“我不知道。”我就是這麼木訥,真的想不出別的了。
11
Yep, that's sort of what it feels like when people ask me "how are you always so calm?"
是啊,當有人問我“你怎麼總是這麼冷靜”的時候,我差不多就是這種感覺。
12
because it feels like I've always been this way.
13
Although it's been more so that people have pointed it out to me rather than me realizing it myself.
14
But I haven't, in fact, always been this way.
15
Not exactly.
16
It's taken a major shift in mindset and quite a bit of work to get to this stage of chillness.
17
At this very moment, for example, my camera charger is missing, and I've been looking for it since yesterday.
18
The battery is at about 11 % charge, which is enough to film this segment right here, and likely another minute or two.
19
I'm a bit frustrated with myself for not putting it back where it belongs in the first place, because had I done that, I wouldn't have been in this situation right now.
20
As far as I'm aware, screaming and throwing things around doesn't magically summon missing objects.
21
The only way to potentially find it is to keep looking
22
for it one drawer at the time without creating any unnecessary mess, while also keeping my blood pressure steady.
23
If it does remain lost despite my efforts to find it, the only practical solution would be to simply go in and buy a new one.
24
And it's not about keeping emotions inside and torturing myself it's about picking your battles and carefully choosing your words,
25
figuring out what the appropriate response to a given situation is to avoid making a habit out of destructive behaviors
26
and thought patterns.
27
See, even if I am freaking out about something on the inside, whether in a good way or in a bad way,
28
majority of the time, I will look like I'm sitting on a yacht with the wind blowing in my hair.
29
And quite honestly, this has gotten me in, I wouldn't say you question how I really feel sometimes,
30
because my lack of reaction can sometimes be perceived as indifference.
31
And to be completely transparent, you know, sometimes I've had to ask myself if I'm just being empathic.
32
The nihilist in me says yes, but then I remember crying over bruised tomatoes
33
and the excruciating feeling of guilt every time I need to separate fruits and vegetables from their friends and family.
34
at the grocery store. So, yeah.
35
Pretty positive that it has nothing to do with apathy.
36
I think I'm constantly torn between every single little thing matters
37
and will trigger my anxiety and literally nothing matters
38
and we are just a tiny piece of insignificant dust
39
and none of this will ever be important in the grand scheme of things anyway.
40
And that's not meaning it in a nihilistic way.
41
I think, but rather in the way
42
that there is no need to get too worked up when things don't go the way that we want them to.
43
Just ask yourself this: when was the last time you actually listened to a person who was yelling and took them seriously?
44
In my experience, letting anger get the best of you to the point where you express yourself aggressively or disrespectfully, tends to only make you lose your credibility,
45
and it oftentimes makes you look like a fool.
46
Or how about this: Can you remember a time where getting loud
47
and vulgar has benefited you or the situation in any way?
48
Perhaps you can.
49
I for sure cannot.
50
If there's anything I've learned, getting unreasonably worked up just delays everything.
51
A problem that could have been solved in five minutes is likely to remain unresolved for much longer than that.
52
Not only because no one is listening, but also because the focus tends to shift from the issue at hand,
53
to deal with someone who is speaking to you impolitely or even irrationally?
54
What are we even arguing about?
55
Practicing keeping your cool is not only doing your own piece a favor, but it's also doing a favor to the piece of those around you.
56
If I were to get overly worked up every time something stressed me out, like not finding my camera charger,
57
that'll affect those around me as well.
58
And although some of us are more tempered and less patient by nature,
59
or by I do believe that it is our liability to at the very least,
60
do our best to lessen the suffering of both ourselves and of those who have to live with us.
61
And that's not to say that you should keep your emotions to yourself and be afraid to express them.
62
Not at all.
63
I just think that it's important to gain a healthy sense of perspective.
64
It'll make you better equipped for keeping your cool when shit hits the fan or even when it doesn't.
65
And now the obvious way to gain perspective is through life experiences.
66
But let's take a moment to appreciate the mind -transforming powers of certain books.
67
We are currently reading Cosmos by Carl Sagan for our book club.
68
I'll leave a link in the description box on how to join, and it has reinforced something I keep reminding myself of, and that is that we are so small.
69
I'd like to share a quote with you, and Just hearing this quote will make you at least 15 % more unbothered as a person.
70
We inhabit a universe where atoms are made in the centers of stars.
71
where each second a thousand sons are born where life is sparked by sunlight
72
and lightning in the airs and waters of youthful planets.
73
where the raw material for biological evolution is sometimes made by the explosion of a star halfway across the Milky Way,
74
where a thing as beautiful as the galaxy is formed a hundred billion times, a cosmos of quasars and quarks,
75
snowflakes and fireflies, where there might be black holes in other universe
76
and extraterrestrial civilizations whose radio messages are at this moment reaching the Earth,
77
How pallid by comparison are the pretensions of superstition and pseudoscience?
78
How important is it for us to pursue and understand science that characteristically human endeavor.
79
And just like that, you will never again suffer when a dude leaves you on read.
80
And now besides gaining perspective, you could also just do things that are calming, like gardening, taking long walks,
81
or I don't know, building a website with Squarespace, which is also today's sponsor.
82
So, I often get messages from people who are artists, writers, musicians, entrepreneurs, youtubers who share their work with me,
83
or from people who want to start blogging or create their own space and community online, and then when I go to check them out,
84
I'm Oftentimes, they don't have a website, and every single time, I think to myself, Why don't they have a website?
85
Why don't they get their stuff out there?
86
I think having your own website can only benefit you regardless of the current size of your audience or spectators.
87
Creating one is so easy.
88
A few months back, I launched my own site on there and up until that point, I had thought that building a website was going to take a lot of time and work,
89
but with Squarespace, it really didn't.
90
I just picked one of their beautiful and professional templates and started building a site that I felt suited me.
91
And now I've shared all of my favorite books on there, my camera equipment, I've connected my social media accounts, I get close insights to the traffic on the site,
92
and so much more.
93

96
Thank you again, Squarespace, for being today's sponsor.
97
And that was it for today's video.
98
Please share any thoughts you might have on this topic.
99
Are you more of a… calm person or are you more upbeat?
100
And if you are someone who tends to be very cool, calm, What is one situation that really triggers you?
101
I would love to know that, because I know that I have some of those situations.

背景與語境

在這段影片中,演講者分享了他平靜的心態以及如何在生活的壓力中保持冷靜。他提到,即使在遇到挑戰和失誤時,他也努力不讓情緒失控。這段對話不僅讓我們意識到心態的重要性,也為我們提供了應對困難情況的思考方式。演講者通過個人經歷來說明,雖然內心可能會有波動,但在外表上保持冷靜往往能幫助我們更有效地解決問題。

日常交流的五個常用短語

  • 如何如此冷靜? - 用於詢問他人如何保持冷靜或面對壓力。

  • 保持血壓穩定。 - 提醒自己控制情緒和生理反應。
  • 讓我們冷靜下來。 - 用於鼓勵自己或他人在緊張時刻保持冷靜。
  • 過度激動只會耽誤事。 - 提醒自己,保持理智往往能帶來更好的結果。

逐步模仿指引

若想通過這段影片來提高口語能力,可以採取"shadow speak"的練習方法。以下是具體步驟:

  1. 首先,找到影片的英文字幕或轉錄文本,並確保能夠理解內容的基本意思。
  2. 然後,選擇一小段影片(比如演講者提到丟失充電器的部分),反覆觀看,專注於其表達和情感。
  3. 接下來,暫停影片,嘗試複述演講者說的話。可以先不考慮發音,重點在於模仿語調和情感。
  4. 再次播放影片,對照自己的複述,注意是否能忠實再現演講者的表達方式。如果有困難,可以拆分句子,一句一句練習。
  5. 最後,嘗試用相同的短語進行自我表達,融入你自己的情境,反覆練習,以提高流利度。

通過這種方法,不僅能提高英語口語練習能力,還能幫助你在實際交流中學會如何冷靜處理各種情況,通過模仿和練習逐步增強自信與流利度。記得在學習過程中,不妨嘗試看YouTube學英語的方法,利用優秀的資源與示範,不斷進步。

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。
