1
I know you love Zen, the concept of Zen.
2
When did you start learning it?
3
I started learning about Zen philosophy when I was in college. In college?
4
Yeah.
5
Zen's not really a religion, but I've studied it in a religion class.
6
It comes from Buddhism originally.
7
Was it a Japanese teacher?
8
No, but it was an Asian studies teacher, so he was an expert in Asian religions.
9
And what was the concept of Zen by that teacher?
10
Well, it's difficult to explain,
11
but Zen is basically about appreciating the little moments in life and being in the present moment.
12
You know, a lot of times we think about the future or we spend a lot of time thinking about the past.
13
Zen is mostly about trying to be in the right now.
14
Sounds like mindfulness.
15
It's very close to that.
16
Mindfulness is discussed a lot in Zen philosophy.
17
so is there a way to be good at zen or what's the what i can do to
18
i think i understand your question um you know there is no good
19
or bad about it it's really like uh do you like
20
taking a walk in nature sometime i love it yeah me too
21
and i think that in essence is zen is just appreciating the beauty in nature
22
or the wind on your face or you know the sound of the birds
23
and the trees it sounds a little corny but appreciating
24
that moment in time that's basically zen so
25
if i'm enjoying this conversation right now
26
that means i am in zen sure uh in essence
27
if you're in this moment uh as we speak uh that's a form of uh zen appreciation is it possible
28
that i would be in zen all the time
29
if i'm able to enjoy every moment of my life that's
30
a great question i uh i think it's sort of impossible to constantly be present uh You know,
31
it's a good goal to aim for, but it's sort of like an unattainable goal, like a goal that you can't ever get to
32
because your mind is at some point going to think about tomorrow or remember something from the past.
33
How much of a day do you think you are in the same moment?
34
I've never calculated it like that.
35
But I don't know, because I catch myself all the time thinking too much about the future
36
or reliving a memory for too long.
37
And then when I catch myself, I bring my focus back to what I'm doing at the present moment.
38
Sometimes I focus so much and I feel like I'm in the zone, but it's different from Zen?
39
well i you know i don't really want to define it
40
because the that's the the paradox
41
or the uh the kind of confusing thing about zen the the more
42
and more you try to define it really the further away you get from it it's not something
43
that there are like rules that are written down
44
and you follow these rules it's really more about just being just being alive
45
and acknowledging that appreciating that maybe we can both go to the Zen garden and see how it works
46
that's good I would love to talk to like a Zen monk or something

推薦影片
對話場景:關於禪意生活的日常討論
這段影片呈現了兩人圍繞“禪”展開的自然對話,話題從禪的起源、核心概念談到實踐方法,貼近生活且邏輯清晰。這樣的場景常見於朋友間的深度交流,非常適合用來練習聽力理解和口語表達,尤其是如何用英語闡述抽象概念。通過觀看影片學英語,你能直觀感受母語者的語速、語調以及自然的對話銜接方式。
實用表達與搭配
- appreciating the little moments:欣賞微小的瞬間。在描述對生活的感悟時,這個短語能讓表達更生動,比如“Zen is about appreciating the little moments in daily life”。
- being in the present moment:活在當下。這是對話中的核心表達,可用於討論正念、禪修等話題,如“Mindfulness means being in the present moment”。
- catch myself thinking:意識到自己在思考。當描述自我反思的過程時,這個搭配很實用,例如“I often catch myself thinking about the future too much”。
- bring my focus back:把注意力拉回來。用於表達如何調整注意力,如“When I get distracted, I try to bring my focus back to the task”。
- in essence:本質上。在總結觀點時使用,能讓表達更簡潔,比如“In essence, Zen is about being alive and appreciating it”。
影子跟讀挑戰:提升英語發音與流暢度
影子跟讀(shadow speak)是提高英語發音和口語流暢度的有效方法。現在就來嘗試:選擇影片中30秒的對話片段,播放一句後立即跟讀,模仿說話人的語調、重音和語速。重點關注“appreciating the little moments”“being in the present moment”等短語的連讀和弱讀。重複練習5次,直到能自然跟上節奏。通過這樣的英語影子跟讀訓練,你會逐漸掌握母語者的表達習慣,讓口語更地道。
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 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | I've studied · I've never calculated |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | is discussed · are written |
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。
