1
[Voiceover] I would like to welcome you to Biology at Khan Academy.
2
And biology, as you might know, is the study of life.
3
And I can't really imagine anything more interesting than the study of life.
4
And when I say "life," I'm not just talking about us, human beings.
5
I'm talking about all animals.
6
I'm talking about plants.
7
I'm talking about bacteria.
8
And it really is fascinating.
9
How do we start off with inanimate molecules and atoms?
10
You know, this right here is a molecule of DNA.
11
How do we start with things like that, and we get the complexity of living things?
12
And you might be saying, well, what makes something living?
13
Well, living things convert energy from one form to another.
14
They use that energy to grow.
15
They use that energy to change.
16
And I guess growth is a form of change.
17
They use that energy to reproduce.
18
And these are all, in and of themselves, fascinating questions.
19
How do they do this?
20
You know, we look around us.
21
How do we, you know, eat a muffin?
22
And how does that allow us to move around and think, and do all the things we do?
23
Where did the energy from that muffin come from?
24
How are we similar to a plant or an insect?
25
And we are eerily or strangely similar to these things.
26
We actually have a lot more in common with, you know, that tree outside your window, or that insect, that bee, that might be buzzing around, than you realize.
27
Even with the bacteria that you can only even see at a microscopic level.
28
In fact, we have so much bacteria as part of what makes us, us.
29
So these are fascinating questions.
30
How did life even emerge?
31
And so over the course of what you see in Biology on Khan Academy, we're going to answer these fundamental, fascinating questions.
32
We're going to think about things like energy and the role of energy in life.
33
We're going to think about important molecules in biology.
34
And perhaps most importantly, DNA and its role in reproduction and containing information.
35
And we're going to study cells, which are the basic building block of life.
36
And as we'll see, even though we view cells as these super, super small, small things, cells in and of themselves are incredibly complex.
37
And if you compare them to an atomic scale, they're quite large.
38
In fact, this entire blue background that I have there, that's the surface of an immune cell.
39
And what you see here emerging from it, these little yellow things.
40
These are HIV viruses, emerging from an immune cell.
41
So even though you imagine cells as these very, very small microscopic things, this incredible complexity.
42
Even viruses.
43
Viruses are one of these fascinating things that kind of are right on the edge between life and nonlife.
44
They definitely reproduce, and they definitely evolve.
45
But they don't necessarily have a metabolism.
46
We'll learn a lot more about that.
47
They don't necessarily use energy and growth in the same way that we would associate with life.
48
And then perhaps one of the biggest questions of all is how did life come about?
49
And we will study that as we look at evolution and natural selection.
50
So welcome to Khan Academy's Biology section.
51
I think you're going to find it fascinating.
52
You're going to realize that biology, in some way, is the most complex of the sciences.
53
And in a lot of ways, the one that we understand the least.
54
It's going to be built on top of chemistry, which in turn is built on top of physics, which in turn is built on top of mathematics.
55
And biology is one of our Frankly, even in the last hundred years, we're just starting to scratch the surface of understanding it.
56
But what's really exciting is where the field of biology is going.
57
As we understand things at a deeper level, at a molecular level, we're going to start thinking about how can we even do things like engineer biology, or affect the world around us?
58
It's going to raise all sorts of fascinating and deep and ethical questions.
59
So, hopefully you enjoy this.
60
Biology is one of the most, arguably, maybe the most fascinating subject of all.
61
I don't want to offend the chemists and the physicists out there.
62
I actually find those quite fascinating as well.
63
But we're going to answer, or attempt to start to answer, some of the most fundamental questions of our existence.

本課程概述

在這一節課中,學習者將深入了解生物學的基本概念,包括生命的定義和生物的複雜性。我們將探討生命是如何從無生命分子和原子中產生的,生物如何以能量為基礎進行生長和繁殖,以及細胞在生命中的重要性。此外,將提及 DNA 在遺傳信息中的作用以及病毒的特性。這一課程不僅將提高您對生物學的理解,還將幫助您透過生物學的語言訓練提高您的英语口语能力。此課程非常適合希望提升英语口语练习和雅思口语练习的學習者。

關鍵詞彙與短語

  • 生命 (life)
  • 能量 (energy)
  • 生長 (growth)
  • 繁殖 (reproduce)
  • 細胞 (cell)
  • DNA (DNA)
  • 病毒 (virus)
  • 演化 (evolution)

練習技巧

在觀看這段生物學的視頻時,建議學習者使用 shadowing 技巧進行跟讀。首先,將視頻的語速調整為適合自己理解的節奏,能夠讓您更好地跟隨。當講者談到生物學的概念時,試著模仿他的語調和發音。這個練習不僅能提高您的英语发音,還有助於您理解更複雜的生物學術語。

學習者可以重複聆聽每一個段落,根據自己的理解進行學習和模仿,這樣可以加快您在生物領域的學習以及提高您的口語能力。試著用所學的生物名詞進行自我介紹,並且在社交場合中與他人討論生物學的話題,這將進一步幫助您在现实生活中運用英语。

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。
