1
Coffee is available everywhere in Japan, but the most unique place is the Kisaten or coffee shop.
2
Entering the world of the Japanese Kisaten is to take a step back in time, to an era when coffee was a simpler, more personal business.
3
The old-fashioned Tokyo coffee shop is still somewhere to read newspapers, chat to the proprietor and see regular faces.
4
Kimorya Parlor in Shinbashi, unchanged for years, still serves the classic Kisaten food menu,
5
a cuisine of its own that features such nostalgic delights as Neapolitan tomato spaghetti and melon soda.
6
Kisaten have been around since the end of the 19th century, and today there are still 70,000 across Japan.
7
Originally, the coffee shop was a centre of innovation, a place for people to meet and talk about new ideas.
8
Ladrio, which opened in Jimbocho in 1949, takes credit for bringing the Vienna coffee to Japan.
9
Today, Kisaten often provide a comforting haven from a changing world.
10
Some Kisaten have their particular selling point, books or classical music or jazz, and always a good cup of coffee.
11
For many coffee lovers, Café de L'Homme in Ginza is a place of pilgrimage.
12
The coffee is made as it has been for decades, not with fancy machines, but with hot water poured through a cloth filter.
13
The owner, Ichiro Sekiguchi, is 100 now, but he still comes to work and roasts the beans at the front of the cafe he has been running since 1948.
14
The Café Blanc et Noir, a sweet chilled confection, is made from fresh coffee rolled over a block of ice in a cocktail shaker.
15
Lawn, close to Yotsuya Station, is the classic city coffee shop, serving well-made coffee and a superior egg sandwich.
16
The interior hasn't changed since the 1960s, 1960s when the owner Hiroaki Ogura's father was still in charge.
17
The pink telephone, once a standard feature of Tokyo cafes, still works.
18
In a crowded city, Kisaten provides somewhere to drink a coffee and read in peace or meet friends, frequently in a fog of smoke.
19
Stone, in the heart of busy Yurakacho, has been serving coffee to office workers for nearly 50 years.
20
Masayo Okamura's grandmother started the cafe.
21
Her family ran a stone business which explains the cafe's name and interior.
22
In spite of the long hours, Okamura takes pride in giving her customers a warm welcome.
23
At Kisa U, next to the Kabuki Theatre in Ginza, theatre-goers and Kabuki actors come in for the famous om-rice,
24
an omelette filled with rice and topped with tomato ketchup.
25
Kisa 10 can be different things to different people.
26
They offer somewhere to go whether you're seeking solitude, company or somewhere to talk.
27
And they give a personal touch that no modern chain can rival.
28
For Monocle in Tokyo, I'm Fiona Wilson.
✨ 推荐视频
為什麼用這支影片練習口說?
這支介紹東京「喫茶店」的影片是看YouTube學英語的絕佳素材!內容圍繞日常場景,對話自然親切,涵蓋「獨處」「社交」「傳統文化」等實用話題,非常適合英語影子跟读(shadow speak)練習。透過模仿主持人的語調和節奏,不僅能積累生活用語,還能掌握描述場景、講述故事的表達技巧,提升口語流暢度。
語法與表達精析
影片中的表達貼近真實口語,以下3個重點值得學習:
- Entering... is to take a step back:動名詞作主語的句式,用於強調「做某事意味著什麼」,如描述場景時可說「Walking into a traditional café is to feel the past.」
- take credit for bringing:表示「因某事獲得認可」,適用於介紹事物來歷,例如「This chef takes credit for creating the dish.」
- provide somewhere to drink and read:「提供某地做某事」的結構,簡潔實用,可替換為「offer a space to work or chat」等。
發音易錯點提醒
練習shadowing時,注意以下詞彙的發音:
- Kisaten:日式英語發音,重音在第一音節,類似「ki-sa-ten」,避免讀成「ki-sa-tən」。
- om-rice:正確發音為「ˈɒm raɪs」,注意「om」的短元音,不要拖長。
- Yurakacho:東京地名,讀作「yu-ra-ka-cho」,尾音輕微帶「o」,避免省略。
透過反覆模仿,能有效糾正口音,讓口語更地道。這類生活化影片是英语口语练习的寶貴資源,趕快打開影片開始shadow speak吧!
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 | has been running · has been serving |
| 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 | have been · has been · hasn't changed |
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的 | is made |
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。
