1
A large part of our confusion and pain
2
and struggles in our 20s come from the gap between agricultural society and modern society.
3
Because we entered the modern society just a few decades ago, which is not long ago.
4
Before we entered the modern society, our society repeats itself.
5
Every season you would grow the same crops, same foods.
6
Your parents' experiences could be copied to you.
7
And your grandparents had a life basically similar to yours.
8
And that society is full of certainty but definitely lack social mobility.
9
It's pretty hard for a peasant to accumulate wealth and become a small landlord and then become a huge landlord.
10
But a major feature of modern society is fluidity.
11
It's a concept put forward by some sociologists.
12
Basically it means that we have many more options.
13
Our identity is changeable.
14
We can change our life trajectory several times.
15
We can accumulate wealth instantly.
16
We can also lose our wealth rapidly.
17
We can find different jobs, different professions, and different life paths.
18
But at the same time, it creates confusion.
19
When people say I don't have options, it actually means you have too many options.
20
Some psychologists found that when you have too many options in front of you, your brain stops working because it's hard for you to select the best one.
21
Your brain struggles with analyzing, comparing this to that, and your brain doesn't work.
22
The optimal number of choices is actually between three to five.
23
One major reason behind your inaction might be having too many options.
24
You could be doctor, you could be a lawyer, you could be a police officer, you could be president, so you can be anything you want.
25
So who I am?
26
What do I want to do?
27
Which one is the best for me?
28
The harsh truth is that the more options you have, the more uncertainty you will face.
29
This is a dilemma faced by a lot of young people in modern society, especially in post-capitalist society.
30
The market offers you tremendous amount of opportunities at the same time.
31
You don't know who you are.
32
So I think a great way to make better decisions is to look at your life from a long-term perspective.
33
Just imagine you are 80 years old and you are lying on your deathbed and think about
34
what you have been through in your life.
35
So ask yourself, what kind of regrets do I have?
36
If I'm gonna live again, which regret I'm going to get rid of?
37
There's a palliative nurse living in Australia.
38
She basically takes care of people who are dying and then she asks those patients, What is your biggest regret in your life?
39
So here is the most common regret.
40
I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself.
41
So for a lot of people, they live their whole life by molding and changing your expectations
42
and fitting into the models set by society or people around them.
43
So for those of you who are watching this video, I really want you to know that the biggest treasure we have as young people is time.
44
You still have time to figure your life out, you still have time to find your life direction, find your passions and pursue your dreams.
45
For all of us, the end point of our life or destination is the same.
46
We will die someday, we'll disappear from this world, but the journey matters.
47
So don't be afraid of stepping up and taking actions because you only live once.
48
Create a life you want.
为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
在现代社会中，我们面临着众多选择，这种流动性虽带来机会，但同时也可能导致焦虑感。在这个视频中，讲者深入探讨了年轻人在面对选择时所经历的困惑与挣扎。通过模仿这个演讲，你不仅能够提高英语口语能力，还能学会如何从长远角度看待人生和做出明智的决策。
在练习口语时，您可以利用视频中的各种表达方式，来反思并回应自己生活中的选择和挑战。这样的过程不仅帮助您提高英语水平，增强自信，还激励您勇敢地追求自我。借助“雅思口语练习”，练习使用这些表达促进您在实际对话中的流利度和自信心，进而完成您的发音提升目标，形成自己的“shadow speak”。
语法与表达在语境中的运用
视频中的讲者使用了一些关键结构，帮助我们理解现代社会如何影响我们的选择。以下是一些值得关注的表达：
- “我可以变成任何我想成为的人” — 这个句子强调了个人身份的流动性。
- “面对众多选择时，脑海中会出现困惑” — 这里运用了因果关系的表达结构，反映选择过多带来的心理负担。
- “想象自己80岁躺在病床上” — 这个假设句运用了“虚拟语气”，帮助听众更深入地思考人生选择。
- “我希望我能够忠于自我” — 这一句使用了“愿望句”，反映出许多人面临的遗憾。
通过练习这些表达，不仅帮助您更好地理解和使用英语，还能在实际交流中灵活应用，为您的学习之路增添动力。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，一些词汇和表达可能对非母语者来说有发音难度。请注意以下几点：
- 单词“anxiety”的发音容易出错，注意“x”的发音。
- 短语“the more options you have”的连读需要练习，确保每个词都清晰可辨。
- 注意“uncertainty”的音节划分和重音位置，有助于提高英语发音的流利度。
通过不懈的练习和“shadowspeaks”技巧，您将能够解决这些发音难点，逐步提高您的口语表达和发音水平。利用这些专业知识，来为您的“提高英语发音”之路加速！
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。
