1
Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful, there's a natural impulse to want to capture and preserve it.
2
Which means, in this day and age, that we're likely to reach for our phones and take a picture.
3
Though this might seem like an ideal solution, there's a big problem associated with it.
4
We're likely to be so busy taking the pictures, we forget to look at the world, whose beauty and interests prompted us to take a photograph in the first place.
5
These problems seem to be very much of today, a consequence of the tiny phones in our pockets.
6
But they were noticed right at the beginning of the history of photography, when the average camera was the size of a grandfather clock.
7
The first person to notice them was the English art critic John Ruskin.
8
He was very impressed by cameras, at first, but gradually he grew very suspicious of them, believing that they blinded us to our surroundings.
9
To try to correct this blindness, Ruskin recommended that all of us take up drawing.
10
Not with a view to becoming great artists, but simply because through the act of trying to recreate on paper what we see in the world,
11
we study it in a way we never do when we simply take a photograph.
12
Summing up what he had attempted to do in four years of teaching and writing manuals on drawing, Ruskin wrote, Let two persons go out for a walk,
13
the one a good sketcher, the other having no taste of the kind.
14
Let them go down a green lane.
15
There will be a great difference in the scene as perceived by the two individuals.
16
The one will see a lane and trees.
17
He will perceive the trees to be green, though he will think nothing about it.
18
He will see that the sun shines and that it has a cheerful effect.
19
And that's all.
20
But what will the sketcher see?
21
His eye is accustomed to search into the cause of beauty and penetrate the minutest parts of loveliness.
22
He looks up and observes how the showery
23
and subdivided sunshine comes sprinkled down among the gleaming leaves overhead till the air is filled with an emerald light.
24
He will see here and there a bough emerging from the veil of leaves.
25
He will see the jewel brightness of the emerald moss and the variegated and fantastic lichens, white and blue, purple and red,
26
all mellowed and mingled into a single garment of beauty.
27
Then come the cavernous trunks and the twisted roots that grasp with their snake-like coils at the steep bank,
28
whose turfy slope is inlaid with flowers of a thousand dyes.
29
Is this not worth seeing?
30
Yet if you are not a sketcher, you will pass along the green lane, and when you come home again have nothing to say
31
or to think about it but that you went down such and such a lane.
32
Thank you.

關於本課
在本課中，你將通過觀看一段精彩的YouTube影片，學習如何提高英語口語表達能力。影片討論了繪畫與攝影的對比，強調了觀察世界的重要性。通過模仿影片中的語言和語調，你可以在英語影子跟讀（shadow speak）中提升自己的口語流利度與表達能力。
關鍵詞彙與短語
- 捕捉 (capture): 捕捉美好事物的衝動。
- 攝影 (photography): 透過相機記錄世界。
- 盲目 (blind): 對周圍事物的無視。
- 觀察 (observe): 細緻入微地看待事物。
- 草圖 (sketch): 速寫的藝術形式。
- 環境 (surroundings): 我們周圍的自然與人文景觀。
- 美麗 (beauty): Nature's aesthetically pleasing aspects.
- 細節 (detail): 事物的微小組成部分。
練習建議
在觀看影片時，嘗試使用英語影子跟讀（shadowspeak）的方法來模仿影片中的講解者。注意他們的語速與語調，慢慢跟隨他們的語音，確保你不僅僅是在重複單詞，而是要理解其背後的含義。建議你開始時以較慢的速度進行跟讀，逐漸提高到影片的正常速度，從而幫助你更好地掌握髮音技巧與口語表達。
同時，考慮在日常生活中進行更多的觀察練習，而非僅僅依賴攝影。試著在散步時進行小型草圖創作，使用手中的筆或紙，練習描述你所看到的事物，並將其轉化為精準的英語表達。這種練習不僅可以提高你對周圍環境的感知，也能豐富你的英語口語練習內容，使你的詞彙量增加，並提升你在英語會話中的自信心。
最後，使用這樣的時機（如看YouTube學英語）來提升你的英語水平，結合影片內容反覆練習，將會對你的口語能力有極大的幫助。
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。
