1
These are ants.
2
And today, they start here.
3
They have to beat four epic obstacles to reach the promised land.
4
Each obstacle will be harder than the last.
5
Will they make it?
6
Or is it game over?
7
Let the ant games begin!
8
Meet Elizabeth, our queen ant.
9
She has one job.
10
Lay eggs and grow an army.
11
But to do that, she's gonna need some help.
12
Meet Tank, Houdini, Chopper, and Todd.
13
Yo, what's wrong with that guy?
14
He hasn't even left the test tube yet.
15
Hey, don't talk about Todd like that.
16
We love Todd.
17
But they have a big problem.
18
There is no food in this entire nursery.
19
So the ants need to do what ants do best, explore.
20
Welcome to Ant Canyon!
21
They just need to cross, grab a seed, and then take it back home.
22
Easy.
23
But for an ant, crossing this bridge with a seed is the equivalent of a human walking a tightrope over the Grand Canyon.
24
He found it!
25
Oh my goodness.
26
Honestly, this might be too easy.
27
I never doubted him for a second.
28
Wait, where are you going?
29
The food is that way.
30
There is no food in here.
31
That's the whole problem.
32
I think he's giving up.
33
So much for the promised land.
34
Hey, get out of there!
35
I present to you the Grant and you.
36
Uh, they already have a canyon.
37
Oh.
38
And plus, I need you to go to their natural habitat.
39
Seriously, again?
40
Yes, I need you to think like an ant.
41
See ya.
42
And I have a challenge for you.
43
Can you spot these ants sitting somewhere in this video?
44
You're late.
45
That's Sonny, and his job is to keep me alive.
46
Hey, wait up!
47
Jamie sent me to find a real ant nest, but the only way in is miles down this river.
48
Look at that goat!
49
Two rams crash heads at 20 miles an hour.
50
That sound can be heard from a mile away. Where are they?
51
We're hunting ants, right?
52
Ants, right?
53
Not down here.
54
Harvester ants hate water.
55
They can't swim.
56
Their nests are up in dry country.
57
We need to climb.
58
Look at them go!
59
Tank wasn't giving up.
60
He was telling his friends.
61
You see, ants talk by tapping each other with their antenna.
62
It's like sending a text message to the whole colony.
63
One ant alone turned back.
64
But together, Let's go!
65
I can get it!
66
I can get the food!
67
They're unstoppable!
68
But taking all these seeds back is gonna take forever.
69
Say hello to the reinforcements!
70
They might be happy now, but that's 50 more mouths to feed.
71
And each challenge is only gonna get harder.
72
Now we just have to find one tiny nest in all of this.
73
Look at this, it's a new claim.
74
We are definitely in the right place.
75
Ow!
76
I hate the desert.
77
Before we go any further, Sunny wants to check we have everything we need to survive.
78
Out here you get nothing but what you can carry.
79
Water, knife, food, compass, signal mirror, whistle, first aid, sleeping bag, tent.
80
And if you can't see me, blow this three times.
81
Not now!
82
I got a knife, a juice box,
83
a sock, night vision goggles because they look sick, and a harmonica.
84
A harmonica? For what? For morale.
85
I'm really nervous for this challenge.
86
The ants need to dig through this green goo to get one step closer to the promised land.
87
Scientists at NASA use this exact gel to study if ants could build tunnels in space.
88
It turns out, ants will always dig, no matter where they are.
89
But for the last eight hours, they've made little progress.
90
Wait a minute, they're not tunneling, they're eating!
91
All that sugar is pure rocket fuel for the queen.
92
The more they feed her, the more crowded the nursery gets.
93
When a colony runs out of space, they don't just pack up and move.
94
They launch a massive underground expansion.
95
These guys need more room and quick.
96
They're digging!
97
They're actually digging!
98
I would give anything to know what they're thinking right now.
99
Dig, dig, dig!
100
More room!
101
One bite at a time and they're completing this challenge.
102
Together, these guys can do anything.
103
Wait, what is Todd doing over there?
104
No, no, no, no, no, he's trapped.
105
We've got two hours of light.
106
We make camp tonight because tomorrow we hunt for that nest.
107
Shelter, then fire, in that order.
108
Sonny's done this a thousand times, but I am seriously struggling.
109
Tomorrow, we'll find the ants, and then they will lead us to a nest for Jamie.
110
Look out!
111
Oh!
112
What is it?
113
What is it?
114
It's huge!
115
This is the biggest scorpion I've ever seen.
116
Turns out, every scorpion on Earth glows under UV light.
117
You could be sitting in a field of a hundred of them and never know.
118
With these night vision goggles, nothing will sneak up on us again.
119
Whoa!
120
That's a kangaroo rat!
121
A master of desert survival.
122
That's so cool!
123
When the sun goes down, the desert comes alive.
124
First, the good news.
125
Remember Todd stuck in the tunnel?
126
They dug him out!
127
Of course they did!
128
Ants are the ultimate team players.
129
They will literally take for hours to rescue a friend.
130
The bad news?
131
Everything else.
132
Over the last few days, the eggs hatched.
133
All of them!
134
The ants have been ripping through this gel, which is supercharging their army.
135
This nursery was made for like 50 ants.
136
And now there's way more than that.
137
So I'm calling in backup.
138
What now?
139
Oh.
140
Joel, head count, how many ants do we have?
141
673, 674, 674.
142
Jamie, this is impossible, they keep moving.
143
Then estimate.
144
I don't know, a lot.
145
My estimate is a lot of ants.
146
We might not know the exact head count, but all those mouths meant one thing.
147
They absolutely smashed challenge two.
148
Jamie, there's an ant on the ceiling.
149
Jamie?
150
Bay 2 and still no nest.
151
But we are not leaving without one.
152
A harvester nest is actually difficult to find.
153
Almost all of it is underground.
154
So from up top, all we'll see is a tiny mound.
155
This is a long-nosed leopard lizard.
156
Fastest guy out here.
157
I'm gonna call him Spotty.
158
Ah, he doesn't want to leave.
159
I realize I didn't pack any food, and I am starving.
160
So Sonny's cooking me lunch.
161
It's that cactus that stung me yesterday.
162
Good morning!
163
Today is maze day!
164
This is bad.
165
This is really bad.
166
The ants are climbing up the walls.
167
This is a red alert.
168
The ants are getting out of that tiny hole.
169
Hey Jamie, there's an ant in the kitchen.
170
That's not mine.
171
Well, there's like eight of them.
172
Stay calm.
173
Everyone stay calm.
174
They are everywhere.
175
And while I catch them, I want to tell you about Odoo.
176
Odoo is an all-in-one software for running a business.
177
Your website, your store, your invoices, everything.
178
All in one place.
179
Instead of using a dozen apps, you just need Odoo.
180
Behold, the bug bee gun.
181
Odoo runs your whole online store.
182
so you can focus on what's important to you, like catching these ants.
183
Odoo tracks your inventory in real time, scans stock with your phone, and even writes your delivery and purchase orders for you.
184
Okay, catching them was step one.
185
Step two is making sure this can never happen again.
186
Odoo's first app is free, for life, so check it out by scanning the QR code on the screen.
187
There, nothing gets in or out ever again.
188
And every ant is accounted for.
189
I'm hot, I'm tired, and I'm done.
190
But then Sunny spotted something.
191
Look, there's your ants.
192
We found a line of Harvester ants.
193
So now we can track them back to their nest.
194
This was supposed to be quick, but it has been hours.
195
What?
196
What's wrong?
197
I think we've been following ants the wrong way.
198
I think we're lost.
199
Lost?
200
You can't read this map?
201
I mean, the sun's really bright and it's hot out.
202
Okay, don't panic.
203
I can read a map.
204
We got this.
205
One of us can read and one of us can carry.
206
Together, we're like one big weird ant.
207
Sunny stashed a car out here.
208
Find the car and we're saved.
209
There it is!
210
There's the car!
211
This thing is so cool.
212
It even has a tent on the roof.
213
I love the nest.
214
And now we can definitely find a real ant nest.
215
On foot, it would have taken forever.
216
But with this, we can cover way more ground.
217
Come on, Houdini!
218
He keeps going the wrong way.
219
But he's the only one brave enough to try level three.
220
An ant's brain is smaller than a grain of salt, with about 250,000 brain cells.
221
Humans have 86 billion.
222
Houdini is up against the labyrinth.
223
This thing is an airtight construction and completely cheat proof.
224
I would know because I spent a week designing it.
225
I don't even think I could solve this.
226
But to get to the promised land, every single ant has to make it through here.
227
All 1,000 of them.
228
And right now, the entire colony is relying on Houdini.
229
If he gets stuck in here, nobody is coming to save him.
230
He's picking up speed!
231
He's not guessing anymore.
232
He's a maze master.
233
He's almost out.
234
Let's go!
235
He did it!
236
He beat the maze!
237
But Houdini is just one ant.
238
And we need 1,000 to get through it.
239
Thankfully, when an ant walks, it leaves behind an invisible scent trail.
240
Nestmates follow the smell, and the best route gets stronger with every ant.
241
The ants are running Houdini's exact line.
242
One brave ant went in alone, so now the colony can follow.
243
Challenge three is complete.
244
And if you want your own pet at home, Pet at Home, I'm giving away another ecosystem kit.
245
Last week, Maddie and Merritt from Oklahoma won.
246
So comment for your chance to win.
247
Good morning.
248
Three days on port and now this.
249
Okay, I take back every bad thing I said about the desert.
250
This is epic.
251
Ant colonies love the open gravel flats.
252
We're almost there.
253
Yeah!
254
What's wrong?
255
It's a hundred and ten degrees outside and we are miles from the nearest town.
256
This old can of gas is our last shot.
257
Let's hope this works.
258
Yes!
259
It did not take long to reach the flats.
260
That's a pronghorn.
261
It's the fastest land animal in North America.
262
It runs 60 miles an hour, as fast as a car on the highway.
263
No predator alive can outrun it.
264
And then we found it.
265
That's it.
266
That's a real one.
267
Hi guys.
268
We found you.
269
They cover their nest in gravel, keeps the heat in, and the rain runs right off.
270
Jamie said survive like an ant, and I think I finally get it.
271
Out here alone, you don't make it.
272
But each one of these guys has a tiny job, and together they can beat the desert.
273
I'm bringing home a little piece of the desert for Jamie's ants.
274
Now let's get back to the studio.
275
This is it.
276
The final challenge.
277
The Hydro Pit.
278
They have to cross the water to get to the promised land.
279
But if they fall in, they'll get eaten by vicious predators.
280
But they've stopped right at the water.
281
Come on, guys.
282
You're so close.
283
Wait, wait, wait.
284
Stop the challenge.
285
What?
286
Why?
287
Harvestrants can't swim.
288
They need a bridge.
289
But we were too late.
290
Todd!
291
Todd's in the water!
292
No, no, no, no, no, hang on!
293
Jamie, they're going in!
294
They're going in after him!
295
That's a raft!
296
They're making a raft!
297
Ants are covered in tiny, waterproof hairs.
298
So instead of sinking, they hold on to each other to float.
299
A boat made out of ants!
300
They're not just saving Todd.
301
They're floating across!
302
They made it!
303
These ants have done enough to prove themselves.
304
I don't think the rest of the colony has to.
305
Come on, guys!
306
The bridge is down, but they're not home yet.
307
Now it's the home stretch, the longest climb of their lives.
308
Wait, why are they going backwards?
309
It's right here.
310
Ants vote on a new home.
311
Only when enough Scouts have agreed does the whole colony commit.
312
It's a literal ant election.
313
Finally, here comes a scout!
314
Here they come!
315
Here they all come!
316
Everything they fought for.
317
Food, sugar, and endless room to explore.
318
Oh, nice!
319
You kept my mountain!
320
Yeah, you were right.
321
Todd loves that thing.
322
Big rock!
323
We started with just five tiny ants, but they grew into an elite army.
324
Alone, none of them make it.
325
But together, they built an empire.

为什么这个视频是练习口语的好材料？
想通过看YouTube学英语？这个《1000只蚂蚁vs障碍》的视频再合适不过了！它的对话生动有趣，充满了日常口语表达，比如“Yo, what's wrong with that guy?”这种随意的打招呼方式，和“Honestly, this might be too easy.”这样的感叹句，都很贴近真实交流场景。而且语速适中，发音清晰，非常适合用来提高英语发音和练习shadowing（影子跟读法）。
拆解自然表达，学习地道口语
我们来看看视频里的几个句子，为什么它们听起来很自然：
- “She has one job. Lay eggs and grow an army.” 这里用简单的短句组合，符合口语中简洁明快的特点，避免了复杂的从句，让表达更直接。
- “Hey, don't talk about Todd like that. We love Todd.” 两个短句之间的衔接很流畅，“like that”和“We love Todd”的情感表达真实，就像朋友之间的对话。
- “I never doubted him for a second.” 其中“for a second”是很地道的口语短语，意思是“一秒钟都没”，比“never doubted him at all”更生动。
简单实用的练习步骤，轻松掌握shadow speak
利用这个视频做shadowing练习，可以试试这样的流程：
- 先完整看一遍视频，熟悉内容和语气。
- 逐句播放，每句暂停后立刻跟读，尽量模仿发音、语调和节奏，这就是shadow speak的核心。
- 用手机录音，对比自己的发音和视频中的差异，重点纠正重读和弱读的部分，比如“the promised land”中的“the”要弱读。
- 重复练习3-5遍，直到能流畅跟下来，然后尝试不看字幕跟读，检验自己的掌握程度。
坚持这样的练习，再配合合适的shadowing site，你的口语会越来越地道。记住，看YouTube学英语的关键是多听多说，让嘴巴和耳朵一起“动”起来！
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 现在完成进行时 have/has been + -ing — 以前开始、现在仍在继续的动作 | have been ripping · we've been following |
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | hasn't even left · they've made · I've ever seen |
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的 | can be heard · was made · is accounted |
| 最高级 the -est / the most … — 一组中最高或最低的 | the biggest · the best · the nearest |
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
