Chapter 1 The Creature in the Shop My name is Dr. Frederick Treves.
2
I am a doctor at the London Hospital.
3
One day, in 1884, I saw a picture in the window of a shop near the hospital.
4
I stopped in front of the shop and looked at the picture.
5
At first, I felt interested.
6
Then I felt angry.
7
Then afraid.
8
It was a horrible, ugly picture.
9
There was a man in the picture, but he did not look like you and me.
10
He did not look like a man.
11
He looked like an elephant.
12
I read the writing under the picture.
13
It said, Come in and see the elephant man, two pence.
14
I opened the door and went in.
15
There was a man in the shop.
16
He was a dirty man, in an old coat, with a cigarette in his mouth.
17
What do you want? he asked.
18
I'd like to see the elephant man, please, I said.
19
The man looked at me angrily.
20
Well, you can't, he said.
21
The shop's closing now.
22
You can come back tomorrow.
23
I'm sorry, I said, but I would like to see him now.
24
I have no time tomorrow.
25
I have a lot of work to do.
26
But I can give you more than two pence.
27
The man looked at me carefully.
28
Then he took the cigarette out of his mouth and smiled with his yellow teeth.
29
All right, sir, he said.
30
Give me twelve pence, then.
31
I gave him the money, and he opened a door at the back of the shop.
32
We went into a little room.
33
The room was cold and dark, and there was a horrible smell in it.
34
A creature sat on a chair behind a table.
35
I say a creature, because it was not a man or a woman, like you or me.
36
The creature did not move or look at us.
37
It sat very quietly on the chair, in the cold, dark, dirty room, and looked at the table.
38
The creature had a cloth over its head, because of the cold.
39
On the table in front of it, there was a dead flower.
40
Stand up, said the shopkeeper loudly.
41
The creature stood up slowly.
42
It took the old cloth off its head, and put it on the chair.
43
I looked at the creature and felt sad.
44
I am a doctor, so I know a lot about accidents and ill people.
45
I see horrible, ugly things every day.
46
But this creature, this thing, was the worst of all.
47
There were no men or women in the hospital like him.
48
He wore some old trousers, but no shirt, coat or shoes, so I could see his body very well.
49
His head was the most interesting thing.
50
It was very, very big, like an enormous bag with a lot of books in it.
51
The head did not have much hair, and there was another bag of brown,
52
dirty skin at the back of it.
53
This skin came down below his neck.
54
I could not see one of his eyes very well, because a lot of skin came down in front of his face, too.
55
An enormous red tooth came out of his mouth, under his nose.
56
It looked like an elephant's tooth.
57
The mouth and nose were like holes in the face.
58
The face could not smile or laugh or look angry or sad, because the skin could not move.
59
It was dead, like an elephant's face.
60
There were more bags of dirty skin on the front and back of the creature's body.
61
These bags came down to his legs.
62
The right arm was enormous, and there were bags of skin on it, too.
63
The right hand was like a man's foot.
64
But the left hand, the left arm and the left hand, were beautiful.
65
The left arm had wonderful skin, and the fingers of the left hand were long and beautiful.
66
It was like a young woman's hand.
67
Walk, Merrick, said the shopkeeper angrily.
68
Come on, quickly, move.
69
He hit the creature with his hand.
70
Slowly, the creature walked across the room.
71
But he could not walk well.
72
His legs were very big and fat, and he had a bad back.
73
He could not walk far without a stick.
74
All right, thank you, I said.
75
Let him sit down.
76
I don't want to see any more.
77
I felt ill, and the smell in the room was very bad.
78
Yes, sir, said the shopkeeper.
79
Sit down, Merrick.
80
We went out of the room and closed the door.
81
The shopkeeper smiled at me with his yellow teeth.
82
Wonderful, sir, isn't it? he said.
83
The best elephant man in England.
84
Hundreds of people come to see him, you know.
85
Hundreds.
86
I take him all over the country, I do.
87
Yes, very interesting, I said.
88
Can I sit down?
89
Yes, sir, of course.
90
Here's a chair.
91
He looked at me, smiling.
92
Would you like a glass of water, sir?
93
Yes, please, I said.
94
Then I looked at the things in the dirty shop.
95
There were two or three bad apples, and some old black bananas.
96
That was all.
97
Uh, no. No, thank you.
98
I'm all right, I said.
99
Did you.. did you call the creature Merrick?
100
That's right, sir.
101
Joseph Merrick.
102
The best elephant man in England.
103
I take him all over the country, you know.
104
Lots of people want to see him.
105
Yes, I see.
106
Do you get a lot of money?
107
Well, sometimes we do, sir, yes.
108
But it's difficult, you see, sir, because of the police.
109
The police don't like us, you see, sir.
110
So we can't stay in a town very long.
111
We usually move every week.
112
Yes, I see.
113
Well, anyway, Mr...
114
Uh...
115
Silcock, sir.
116
Simon Silcock.
117
Yes, well, Mr. Silcock, I'm a doctor at the London Hospital.
118
My name is Dr. Treves.
119
I think this, uh, this man, Joseph Merrick, is very interesting, and I would like to see him at the hospital.
120
I want to look at him more carefully, you see.
121
Yes, sir.
122
I see.
123
But how can he get to the hospital?
124
It's going to be difficult.
125
Why, man?
126
The hospital's not far from here.
127
Well, yes, sir.
128
I know.
129
But you see, Merrick can't walk very well.
130
He needs help.
131
You can come with him.
132
Do you want more money?
133
Is that it?
134
Well, yes, sir, I do.
135
But you see, people are afraid of him, too.
136
In the road, little boys always run after him and hit him.
137
Then the police get angry, because people are afraid.
138
Sometimes they take us to prison.
139
"'I see,' I said.
140
"'Well, how can he come to the hospital, then?' "'Bring a cab, sir,' said Silcock.
141
"'You can take him to the hospital in a cab.'
142
Thank you.
143
Thank you.

✨ 推荐视频
为什么这个视频是绝佳的英语口语练习素材?
这段视频的对话充满生活气息,既有医生的细腻观察,也有店主的市井语气,非常适合练习英语口语。它的语速适中,用词简单却生动,比如描述“象人”外貌时用了“enormous bag”这样形象的表达,能帮助学习者在模仿中掌握自然的英语表达。对于刚开始尝试“shadow speak”(影子跟读法)的同学来说,这样的素材能快速建立信心,因为你能清晰听到每个单词的发音和句子的节奏。
拆解地道表达,学会像母语者一样说话
我们来看看几个自然又实用的句子:
- “At first, I felt interested. Then I felt angry. Then afraid.” 用简单的“then”连接情绪变化,比生硬的“and then”更口语化,体现了说话时的流畅感。
- “The man looked at me carefully. Then he took the cigarette out of his mouth and smiled with his yellow teeth.” 一连串的动作描写用“then”衔接,符合日常说话的逻辑,避免了复杂的从句,却能精准传达场景。
- “I am a doctor, so I know a lot about accidents and ill people.” 用“so”直接表达因果关系,简洁明了,是口语中最常用的结构之一。
这些句子没有华丽的辞藻,却因符合英语思维习惯而显得格外自然,正是我们练习“shadowspeak”时需要重点模仿的。
简单有效的“看YouTube学英语”练习步骤
试试这个“重复-录音”循环法,轻松掌握影子跟读法:
- 先完整看一遍视频,理解大致内容,注意说话人的语气和停顿。
- 逐句播放,每句暂停后立刻跟读,模仿发音、语调甚至语速,这就是“shadow speak”的核心。
- 用手机录下自己的跟读,对比原音,找出发音或节奏的差异,比如“horrible”的重音是否正确,“enormous”的元音是否饱满。
- 每天花10分钟重复练习3-5句,坚持一周就能明显感受到口语的进步。
记住,英语口语练习贵在坚持,利用好YouTube上的优质素材,结合“shadowspeaks”技巧,你也能说出流利又自然的英语!
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。
