Chapter 7 The Last Letter Six months later,
2
in April 1890, I found him dead in bed.
3
He was on his back in bed, so at first I thought he was asleep.
4
I talked to him, but he did not move.
5
Then I saw that the skin on his face was blue, so I knew he was dead.
6
He did not usually sleep on his back.
7
His enormous head was very heavy, so he usually sat up in bed, with his arms round his legs, and his head on his knees.
8
He could sleep well like this.
9
But he wanted to sleep on his back like you and me.
10
He tried to sleep on his back that night, but his heavy head came off the bed, and he broke his neck.
11
He died very quickly.
12
Next day, the chairman of the London Hospital, Mr. Carr Gomm, wrote to the editor of the Times again.
13
The Times, April 16, 1890.
14
Dear Sir, Three and a half years ago I wrote to you about a man called Joseph Merrick.
15
This man was called the Elephant Man, because he was born with a very ugly body.
16
Merrick was not ill, but he could not work, and he had no money.
17
The readers of the Times felt sorry for him, and they gave me a lot of money for Merrick.
18
Because of this money, we could give Merrick a home in the London Hospital.
19
It was his first good home, and for three and a half years, he lived here happily.
20
The doctors and nurses of the hospital helped him, and many important people visited him.
21
He read many books, he went to the theatre, and in the summer he stayed in the country for six weeks.
22
Because of your reader's money, we could give him a happy life.
23
Last night, Joseph Merrick died quietly in his bed.
24
He was a man with a very ugly body, but he was a good, kind man, and he had a lot of friends.
25
We like to talk to him, and we are all very sorry because he is dead.
26
A lot of people are going to remember him for a long time.
27
There is some money left, so I am going to give it to the hospital.
28
Thank you, sir, for your help.
29
Yours faithfully, F.C.
30
Cargom, Chairman of the London Hospital.
31
Thank you.
32
Thank you.

本节课学习内容
通过本节课,学习者将围绕视频中的故事片段练习英语口语,重点提升对叙事性文本的理解与表达能力。内容涉及人物经历、事件描述等实用场景,适合通过“看YouTube学英语”来强化听说技巧。学习者可结合shadowing练习法,模仿对话的语速、语调,提升口语流畅度。
核心词汇与短语
- enormous:巨大的,用来描述物体或体型,如视频中“enormous head”(巨大的头)。
- break one's neck:折断脖子,此处指意外导致的伤害,需结合语境理解。
- faithfully:忠诚地,在信件结尾用于表示敬意,如“Yours faithfully”(您忠实的)。
- feel sorry for:为……感到难过,表达同情,如“readers felt sorry for him”(读者们为他感到难过)。
- leave:此处指“剩余”,如“some money left”(剩下一些钱),需注意多义词用法。
练习技巧
shadowing(影子跟读法)是提升口语的有效方法,针对本视频的叙事风格,可采用以下技巧:首先,视频语速适中,叙事清晰,适合初学者模仿。练习时,可先逐句播放,滞后1-2秒跟读,重点关注“he was on his back in bed”等短句的连读与弱读。其次,注意语气变化,如描述死亡场景时的低沉语调,以及信件中表达感激时的诚恳语气,通过模仿增强口语的感染力。此外,可结合“shadow speak”类练习网站,反复对比自身发音与原音的差异,针对性改进。坚持每天练习15分钟,可显著提升口语的流畅度与准确性,让“英语口语练习”更高效。
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。
