Part 4.
2
You will hear an interview with a man called Guy Reardon who works as a stuntman performing dangerous scenes in movies.
3
When you see a fight or a car chase in a movie,
4
it's often a stuntman or woman taking the risks, not a real actor.
5
Guy Reardon's a top stuntman.
6
Guy, do you usually work individually or in a team?
7
It depends.
8
In my first job I was part of a team of other stuntmen.
9
Several of us had to jump off a fourth floor rooftop together and get caught by the group on the ground.
10
That involved relying on everyone else to do things properly,
11
which wasn't something I enjoyed.
12
Despite that uncertainty, I hoped my strength and sense of timing would get me through.
13
Audiences rarely appreciate the lengths we go to to provide their entertainment.
14
Obviously it's dangerous, but what's the most challenging thing for you about the work?
15
It's a wonderful job, but like any career,
16
you have to have tools.
17
For a stuntman it's his or her body,
18
and if a stunt goes wrong you can end up badly hurt.
19
If I thought about that though,
20
I'd never do the job.
21
But it's the never-ending process to up your game,
22
to expand and extend what you're good at, that's the toughest bit.
23
Of course there's a lot of competition in the stunt world,
24
that makes it exciting.
25
What was it like working on the movie Raw Stuff?
26
It's based on a true story about soldiers in action,
27
so it was extremely important that the stunts didn't look like standard movie action sequences.
28
The mountains we were filming in were stunning,
29
which made up for having to hike up with 25 kilos of equipment on our backs.
30
You just didn't notice the weight.
31
The view from the top was sensational.
32
The tricky part was tumbling onto rocky mountain ledges so
33
that the camera could be as close as possible and the audiences would see and feel what those soldiers went through.
34
You've often acted as a stunt double for the actor Marty Walker.
35
Yeah, Marty and I get on.
36
He varies his size drastically from one movie to the next.
37
He can go from athletic action hero to skinny professor in some major body transformations.
38
His dedication to doing that's amazing.
39
It affects me as well.
40
I had to put on weight for his last movie.
41
Marty wanted to do the motorbike stunts himself,
42
but we persuaded him not to.
43
It involved jumping off at high speed.
44
Pretty silly for an untrained person to try and do,
45
or even a stuntman.
46
Which movie do you remember filming most?
47
Light at Dawn.
48
They wanted me to say some lines, real acting.
49
After a few attempts, I gave up and asked for someone else to do it.
50
The director, Peter Levine, was very ambitious.
51
Some things he asked for hadn't been tried before.
52
It was truly a pleasure when we got things right.
53
We filmed all over the world.
54
Everyone on what was a huge film crew was completely exhausted flying from one place to the next.
55
How long have you been in the movie industry?
56
Twenty years.
57
I've seen some changes.
58
There's more technology these days,
59
but there's just as great a need for stunt actors.
60
Some things can only be performed by a real human.
61
I've worked with some great people in some great locations and had a lot of laughs,
62
something that's increasingly missing these days because there's so much at stake.
63
But that does mean the financial rewards for those who get into the big movies are generally worth it.
64
I can't say I've been unlucky in that respect.
65
What would you advise someone wanting to do your job?
66
Stunt work's become highly specialised over the years.
67
There's high falls, fight scenes,
68
horse stunts, car chases, the list goes on.
69
There's no easy answer to the question of whether it's better to become skilled at one thing or be diverse.
70
I don't try and discourage people from getting into stunts,
71
but I do try to convince them to have another source of income to fall back on.
72
Most stuntmen I know also do things like construction,
73
security, web design, and though everyone has an agent to find them work,
74
it's so often about your own contact rather than anything else.

语法与表达的语境分析
在此次访谈中，Guy Reardon运用了多种关键语言结构，学习者可以从中受益，以下是几个重点:
- 一般现在时和过去时的运用： Guy在描述自己的工作经历时，频繁使用一般过去时（"我曾经是一个团队的一部分"）和现在时（"这是一份美好的工作"），这有助于学习者理解时间表达的不同用法。

常见发音陷阱
在这一访谈中，英语学习者可能会遇到一些发音挑战，尤其是对特定单词和短语的发音。例如:
- stuntman（特技演员）：音节较长，初学者可能会在发音上出现困难，需注意元音的清晰度。

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。
