1
Hi, my name's Kerry, and the topic of my presentation this evening is a bird called the Swift.
2
For people living in most of Europe, the Swift's a familiar bird, but it only stays in the Northern Hemisphere for a few weeks each summer,
3
the rest of the year it spends in Sub-Saharan Africa.
4
Indeed, one of the best-known facts about this incredible bird is
5
that it has one of the longest migrations of any living creature.
6
The other incredible fact is that a Swift spends most of its life in the air, where it eats, drinks and sleeps, only landing to build a nest and raise its young.
7
Indeed, the name of the bird in German translates to wall glider in English, whereas its Latin name means without feet,
8
both reflecting the fact that the bird never seems to touch the ground.
9
In Europe, swifts are a familiar sight, wheeling around high up on summer evenings, making a lot of noise.
10
But swifts don't produce a song like some birds, nor do they go tweet-tweet.
11
Instead, they produce what can only be called a scream.
12
You must have heard it.
13
Swifts are not large birds, but they have a very characteristic shape in flight.
14
Some people say this reminds them of a new moon, and the birds certainly crescent-shaped with a very noticeable forked tail.
15
But for me, the thing that comes to mind when I see a swift is a boomerang, you know, the thing made and thrown by traditional peoples in Australia.
16
So swifts come to Europe to breed, and they often make their nests in buildings, especially chimneys and for some reason ancient monuments.
17
Because they can't land, the swifts' nests need to be in places from which they can launch themselves into the air.
18
Probably cliffs were their original preference, but even out of town, these days they'd tend to go for man-made places like quarries.
19
As you'd expect, leaves and grasses are used to build the nests, but even here the link with humans is evident, as amazingly paper is often used,
20
together with less surprising things like the feathers of other birds.
21
materials the swift probably catches in flight.
22
Because they never land, swifts are very vulnerable to bad weather
23
and in Europe retreat to their nest sites during periods of rain or high wind.
24
I was once lucky enough to observe a large group of
25
swifts travelling at great speed to get out of the way of a thunderstorm.
26
It was an awesome sight that I'll never forget.
27
As I said, swifts only spend a short time in Europe each year,
28
generally June and July, with even the newborn birds making the incredibly long journey to Africa in about 48 hours.
29
One strange fact I discovered in my research is that once it gets back to Africa, the bird is silent, people there being unaware of that characteristic call.
30
Swifts have always fascinated people, especially because the birds have always been attracted to towns and buildings.
31
traditionally in Europe the bird was used as a symbol by
32
the younger sons of wealthy families who without land to inherit were destined to wander the globe I like
33
that so before I go on to where now play the recording again
34
that is the end of part two now turn to part three

需要注意的发音
说话人用了 5 次缩略和弱读形式，例如 can't, don't, I'll。请按听到的简短形式来说。
- “th” 音: thunderstorm /ˈθʌn.dɚˌstɔɹm/, feather /ˈfɛðə/
- 长单词——注意重音位置: characteristic /ˌkæɹ(ə)ktəˈɹɪstɪk/, amazingly /əˈmeɪzɪŋli/, traditionally /tɹəˈdɪʃ.ə.nə.li/
中文母语者容易读错的音：
- /v/ — 不要读成 /w/，上齿轻触下唇: evident /ˈɛv.ə.dənt/, observe /əbˈzɜːv/
- 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚，后面不要加元音: nest /nɛst/, characteristic /ˌkæɹ(ə)ktəˈɹɪstɪk/, fascinate /ˈfæsɪneɪt/, inherit /ɪnˈhɛɹɪt/, crescent /ˈkɹɛs.ənt/
- /r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: translate /tɹænzˈleɪt/, traditionally /tɹəˈdɪʃ.ə.nə.li/
如何用这段视频练习
- 先完整听一遍视频，不要开口，记下不认识的单词。
- 先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟读，熟练之后再回到正常速度。
- 录下自己的声音并与原声对比，特别注意 nest, characteristic, boomerang 这类单词。
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。
