跟读练习: Character arc - 通过视频学习英语口语
正在创建课程...
1
As we discussed in the last video, a character may face many obstacles.
2
These obstacles can prevent a character from getting what they want, or achieving what they need.
3
The choices a character makes in response to obstacles and how the character changes as a result.
4
can be referred to as Character arc.
5
Something I like to think of is character, obstacle, goal and the character to get to their goal has to go
6
deal with this obstacle.
7
The obstacles are what make them who they are, what make them change into this new person.
8
And that really constitutes the arc.
9
And if you actually study a lot of the movies and stories that you read,
10
The character starts off actually in their kind of basic form still about to be formed.
11
And the characters that they end up being at the end of the movie actually is their higher version.
12
They're better.
13
they don't get to go there unless they meet the challenges
14
and the kind of pressure Thank you that will make them better versions of yourself.
15
obstacles.
16
The character is just at a, you know, a flat line.
17
And when the obstacles comes, it helps to push the character into the arc until they hit the hardest obstacle
18
that they have to face at the climax.
19
And it's from there that they're able to complete their arc.
20
So without obstacles, I don't think that the arc would even exist.
21
In Incredibles, we have a very clear very external obstacle of the Omnidroid.
22
Syndrome invites Bob over to the island and he says, "Here's this big droid, let's see if you can test it, fight it." And Bob fights it.
23
It's a very close battle with that first Omni droid, but he barely beats it.
24
It takes everything he has, but he does it.
25
He's victorious, he feels good.
26
But we as an audience know, "Okay, these guys are about on par." The next time he's invited back, the Omnidroid wins and Bob gets captured.
27
So now we know, okay, the obstacle is bigger than the hero.
28
And that reflects his learning arc.
29
He needs to learn that the Family is his big journey.
30
The family is what makes him a hero.
31
So at the end of the film we get the Omnidroid again, but this time we have the entire family of supers and our question is, are they as a family enough to stop this thing?
32
Of course the answer is yes, they're fantastic.
33
They're the Incredibles.
34
Nothing can stop the Incredibles.
35
Until Incredibles 2.
36
So all stories have some kind of transformation and It's really compelling to watch a transformation happen, whether it is your character,
37
or if your character-- makes a transformation in the world.
38
Sometimes a character might not have a big change, but they will impact the world around them.
39
And that's also very interesting.
40
So an obstacle that a character faces like joy What the character wants was to make Riley happy all the time.
41
What happens?
42
She falls into the memory though.
43
There's a major obstacle in the movie.
44
The emotion of joy is going to be inaccessible to Riley. for good. and inside.
45
the memory down.
46
She plays a memory of what happens to Riley when she is challenged.
47
And when she replays a memory, she realizes that the only reason that Riley actually is happy
48
is because she actually goes through of faith when she was sad.
49
Now she knows what she needs.
50
Riley needs sadness.
51
And now the action changes.
52
Joy is going to move heaven and earth to make sure that sadness gets back to headquarters, more important than her own goal,
53
she'll realize that Riley is actually much better with sadness and fear,
54
disgust, and all the other emotions in her life in order to make Riley completely happy.
55
So when we actually watch movies when characters achieve something simply by just walking through a door, it doesn't feel authentic.
56
In fact, we don't think the character deserves it.
57
We want the characters to actually work for it.
58
Because we also know that if you get something for practically nothing, you won't value it.
59
A character's arc defines the change or transformation a character undergoes from the beginning of a story to the end.
60
We'll explore structure further in the next lesson, but for now, In this next exercise, you'll have a chance to identify character arcs in the films you love.
61
as well as brainstorm possible arcs for characters you want to create.

关于本课
在本课程中，学习者将会理解角色弧（Character Arc）的概念，了解角色在面对障碍时如何做出选择，以及这些选择如何影响角色的发展与变化。通过分析电影和故事中的角色变化，学习者将获得重要的口语表达技巧，特别是在雅思口语练习和英语口语练习中，帮助提升他们的表达能力。
关键词汇与短语
- 障碍 (obstacle) - 角色在追求目标时遇到的困难。
- 角色弧 (character arc) - 角色发展变化的过程。
- 目标 (goal) - 角色想要实现的愿望或理想。
- 变化 (transformation) - 角色在经历挑战后所产生的变化。
- 克服 (overcome) - 角色战胜障碍的过程。
- 情感 (emotion) - 角色在故事中所经历和表达的内心感受。
- 家庭 (family) - 角色在故事中所重视的价值，可能成为他们的动力来源。
练习建议
在观看相关视频并进行shadow speak练习时，请注意角色弧中的语速与语调。在进行英语口语练习时，模仿视频中角色说话的节奏，尝试使用关键短语和词汇进行重复。为提升表达流利度，可采用以下方法：
- 开始时慢速跟读，确保每个词的发音准确。
- 随着熟悉度加深，逐步加快语速。此外，注意观察说话者的情感表达，这将帮助你更好地理解语气和语调。
- 记录自己的发音并对照视频，确保你能自信地使用这些短语。
- 定期进行雅思口语练习，通过不同的情境应用这些表达，使你的语言更具多样性和自然性。
通过这些练习，你将掌握“shadowspeaks”的技巧，使你的口语能力有显着提高。记得，在角色面对障碍并实现变化的过程中，你的口语表达同样也在不断进步。
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。
