Welcome back.
2
This is part two of the TED Talk that we're going to examine together for the connected reading.
3
Well, bad news.
4
You should have kept your mouth shut.
5
Kept your mouth shut. Because. Because.
6
Now, of course, everybody knows when you say because quickly, we just say because.
7
Because that good feeling now will make you.
8
Now will.
9
Now will make you.
10
Don't say now will, the two W sounds now will make you less likely to do it.
11
To, very short, to do it.
12
Repeated psychology tests have proven, have tests of proven, not have, but very short tests of proven,
13
that telling someone your goal makes it less likely to happen.
14
Anytime you have a goal, there are some steps that need to be done.
15
Y. Anytime you have a goal, there are some steps that need, that need.
16
The two sounds connect together, that need to be done.
17
Some work that needs to be done.
18
To be, very quickly.
19
To be, not to be, but to be done in order to achieve it.
20
Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you'd actually done the work.
21
But when you tell someone your goal and they acknowledge it, you'd actually, until you'd actually,
22
very quickly, you'd actually, you'd actually done the work.
23
But when you tell someone, when you, not you, when you tell someone your goal and they acknowledge it,
24
again we add a y sound, they acknowledge it.
25
Psychologists have found, just so found.
26
The have turns almost entirely into just the.
27
Psychologists have found that it's called a social reality.
28
The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it's already done.
29
Kind of tricked, kind of, kind of tricked.
30
The vowel sound is very short.
31
Into.
32
Tricked into.
33
Tricked into feeling that it's already done.
34
And then because you felt that satisfaction, you're less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary.
35
So this goes against the conventional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?
36
That, not that, but that we should tell our friends our goals, right?
37
So they hold us to it.

背景与语境

在这段TED演讲的第二部分，演讲者深入探讨了语言使用对心理影响的微妙关系。特别是，他提到在表达目标时，过多的交流可能会反而影响实现目标的动力。他指出，心理学研究表明，口头分享目标可能导致人们感受到一种虚假的成就感，从而降低了追求目标的动力。通过精确的音节连接和自然重音，演讲者展示了美国英语的独特韵律和节奏，帮助学习者掌握更地道的表达方式。

日常沟通的五个短语

  • 保持沉默 (keep your mouth shut)：用于提醒自己在某些情况下不必过多表达。
  • 说因为快点 (because quickly)：强调口语中常用的缩略表达。
  • 实际上 (actually)：用于强调某种事实或反驳。
  • 需要做的工作 (work that needs to be done)：强调为实现目标所需的努力。
  • 社会现实 (social reality)：描述心思如何被社交互动影响。

逐步影子跟读指南

为了有效地练习 英语影子跟读，请遵循以下步骤：

  1. 选择短句：从视频中挑选这些日常短语，反复听至熟悉为止。
  2. 模仿声调：注意演讲者的语调和停顿，尽量准确模仿发音。
  3. 暂停与重播：在听到重要表达时，暂停视频并重复该句，确保你能流利地说出。
  4. 结合情境使用：尝试在日常对话中使用你学到的短语，提升语言自信。
  5. 定期复习：利用 shadow speak 的方法，定期回顾这些短语，巩固发音和表达。

通过这样的shadowing site练习，学习者可以有效提高自己在语言交流中的发音和流利度，克服心理障碍，真正实现目标。

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。
