Welcome back.
2
This is part three of the TED Talk that we're going to examine together for connected reading.
3
So let's look at the proof.
4
Look at the, not look at the.
5
The consonants connect together and the vowels become very short.
6
Let's look at the proof.
7
1926. 20.
8
Not 20, but 26.
9
Kurt Lewin, founder of social psychology, called this substitution.
10
1933, Vera Mahler found when it was acknowledged by others, it felt real in the mind.
11
Felt real.
12
It felt real.
13
No T.
14
Felt real in the.
15
Real in the.
16
All connected together.
17
Real in the mind.
18
1982, Peter Galwitzer wrote a whole book.
19
Wrote a.
20
Wrote a whole book.
21
Very quickly, wrote a whole book about this.
22
and in 2009 he did some new tests that were published. Did some.
23
Did some new tests that were published.
24
The T isn't pronounced. That were.
25
Goes like this.
26
A hundred and...
27
A hundred n...
28
And turns totally to n...
29
A hundred and sixty-three people across four separate tests.
30
Everyone wrote down their personal goal.
31
Then half of them...
32
Half of them...
33
Not half of them...
34
half of them announced their commitment to this goal to the room.
35
Commitment to, commitment to, the two Ts connect, and here, to, to the room,
36
just becomes to the room, and half didn't.
37
And then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop,
38
that they, not that they, but that they, could stop.
39
The D and the S connect a little bit.
40
Could stop at any time.
41
Now those who kept their mouths shut, kept their, the T and the TH connect, kept their mouths shut.
42
The end of mouths and the beginning of shut connect together.
43
Mouths shut.
44
Worked the entire 45 minutes on average. On average.
45
These two words connect. On average.
46
And when asked, the same thing, when asked afterwards, said that they felt that they,
47
felt that they, that is totally reduced to that,
48
felt that they, said that they felt that they had a long way to go, long way to, long way to go,
49
still to achieve their goal.
50
But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average,
51
and when asked afterwards, said that the D and the TH blend together, said that they felt much,
52
the T and the M connect, felt much closer to, again,
53
T becomes very short, closer to achieving their goal.
54
So if this is true, what can we do?
55
Well, you could resist.
56
Kudr, the D and the R connect together.
57
Resist the temptation to announce your goal.
58
You can, can becomes very short, you can delay the gratification.
59
Delay the, very short, not the in a long vowel, but delay the gratification that the social acknowledgement brings.
60
And you can understand that your mind mistakes the talking for the doing.
61
for the, the talking for the doing.
62
But if you do need to, need to, the D and the T connect together, if you do need to talk about something,
63
you can state it, state it.
64
The T in state and the it connect together to just become state it in a way that gives you no satisfaction,
65
such as, I really want to run this marathon, so I need to train five times a week and kick my ass if I don't, okay?
66
So audience, and again we add a W in the middle of these two vowels.
67
So audience, next time you're tempted to tell someone your goal, what will you say?
68
Exactly.
69
Well done.
背景与上下文
在这一部分的TED演讲中，演讲者讨论了如何通过连贯的阅读来提升英语听说能力。演讲者引用了历史学者如Kurt Lewin和Peter Galwitzer的研究，探讨了人们在承诺目标时的心理反应。这对我们学习英语的重要性在于，理解音节之间的连贯性和语速如何影响我们对语言的掌握。通过这些例子，演讲者让我们意识到，连贯的发音与流利的交流是息息相关的。
日常交流的五个常用短语
- Let’s look at the proof.（让我们看看证据。）
- It felt real.（感觉很真实。）
- Half of them announced their commitment.（他们之中一半宣布了他们的承诺。）
- Could stop at any time.（随时可以停下。）
- On average.（平均而言。）
这些短语是英语口语练习中的重要组成部分，适合在不同的场合中使用。学习者可以通过重复这些短语，来提高英语发音和流利度。
逐步跟读指南
为了有效地克服这一视频的难度，学习者可以按照以下步骤进行shadowing练习：
- 选择合适的材料：选择这个TED演讲作为你的shadowing材料，确保你在一个安静的环境下进行练习。
- 初步聆听：先完整听一遍演讲，理解其大意和主要观点。
- 分段跟读：将演讲分成小段落，每次只专注于一小段。听完后，重复演讲者的发音，注意连贯性和语调。
- 关注连读和省略音：演讲中提到的“T”和“TH”连接、音节的省略是关键，学习者应特别注意这些发音特点，模仿演讲者的发音方式。
- 定期复习：每天抽出时间复习之前的内容，以帮助记忆和口语流利度的提高。
通过这样的shadowing练习，学习者不仅能提高英语口语能力，更能加深对英语音韵的理解，这将大大促进其在真实场合下的交流能力。
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。
