1
Now that we've thought about what motivates a character to act in the world,
2
Let's flip things around and think about things that can stand in their way.
3
These can be referred to as obstacles.
4
Obstacles can be anything.
5
A person a great distance, or something internal like fear.
6
Whatever it is, An obstacle is something
7
which stands in the way of a character and prevents them from getting what they want or need.
8
Let's hear again from our story artists.
9
How do they think about this?
10
So the core of storytelling is not only what's your character want and need, but then what is standing in their way.
11
What's the conflict?
12
We have this expression that we create these characters, we put them in a tree and we throw rocks at them.
13
we make their life a little harder.
14
Marlin's obstacle would be his fear of the ocean.
15
tells Nemo all the time you stay in the reef, it's safe here.
16
And so in order to get back to Nemo, he has to break everything that he's comfortable with.
17
The obstacles that were in Marlin's way from
18
that point on were engineered to force Marlin out of his comfort zone in order to get to his son
19
and reach a place where he could trust his son.
20
In E .T., Elliot the boy meets E .T the alien, and he wants E .T to stay with him on Earth, but the obstacle is that E .T is an alien.
21
He can't stay on Earth.
22
He can't survive.
23
He's dying.
24
I think about what's the best way to make this character realize what they need to accomplish.
25
- Here at Pixar, when we're creating these stories and making these films
26
we go through iteration after iteration of what this journey could be for this character.
27
Fear plays a part as an obstacle, depending on the character.
28
A lot of times we try to skirt around our fears and not deal with them.
29
So if you present a character with a fear that they have to confront, it's a very immediate-- fight or flight.
30
um, scenario that you've created, and so it forces your character to react.
31
When you're developing your stories, you want to think, "Okay, what's the fun external?
32
You know, what's the car chase?
33
What's the villain?
34
But More importantly, how does that car chase and how does that villain reflect
35
the obstacle inside the character and reflect all of their flaws and their shortcomings.
36
So those kinds of obstacles you put in front of your characters because it makes them think about their wants and needs.
37
One of my favorite examples is from Cars.
38
McQueen's primary want is to get to California and win the big race.
39
But when confronted by the obstacle of being stuck in Radiator Springs having to fix a road, What he needs.. is to slow down.
40
Enjoy the journey.
41
and make friends.
42
In the next exercise, you'll have a chance to think about the obstacles characters can face.
43
and the choices they make in response.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语?

在这个视频中,我们讨论了角色的障碍以及这些障碍如何影响故事的发展。这不仅让我们了解角色内心的斗争,还帮助我们在练习英语口语的过程中思考角色的需求与欲望。通过分析这些情节,学习者能够更深入地理解情境中的沟通方式,从而提高他们的英语表达能力。无论是在雅思口语考试中,还是日常对话,能够准确表达自己的需求和恐惧都是非常重要的。

语法与表达在语境中的分析

  • 动词短语:视频中提到的“stand in the way”是一个常用的动词短语,表达障碍的存在。学习如何运用这样的短语可以让你在雅思口语练习中更加自然。
  • 对比句式:讲述角色面临的对比,比如“safety vs. danger”,可以帮助你在做出比较时更清晰地表达自己的观点。
  • 情态动词:如“can”和“have to”,用于表达角色的能力和必要性。这类表达在讨论个人挑战或障碍时尤为重要,是提高英语发音的关键要素。

常见发音陷阱

视频中的一些词汇可能对学习者构成发音的挑战。比如,“obstacle”和“accomplish”这两个词的发音需要特别注意,因为它们的音节较多,并且容易在快节奏的讲话中混淆。另外,角色名字如“Marlin”和“Elliot”也需要重点练习,以确保说出来流畅自然。通过这些发音练习,您可以提高自己的英语发音,使之更加标准。

整体来说,结合这些策略和技巧,你可以通过shadow speak进行有效的英语口语练习。在这个过程中,时常考虑从视频中得到的灵感,帮助您在雅思口语练习中更好地表达自己的思想和感受,从而提高英语发音。专注于这些障碍和角色的发展,会使您的学习旅程更加丰富和有趣。

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。
