England, 1995 Hey!
2
Jan!
3
Look at this!
4
Carol said.
5
She had a letter in her hand and took it across to her husband at the breakfast table.
6
It's from the Oxford Orchestra, she said.
7
They're giving concerts in the Czech Republic this Christmas.
8
They're doing three concerts in Prague and they're asking me to go because they need a harpist.
9
Shall we go to Prague for Christmas?
10
I can play with the orchestra and you can come with us.' When are the concerts? asked Jan.
11
I always have a lot of work in the weeks before Christmas.
12
I must finish writing my new book then.
13
Jan taught Czech at Oxford University and wrote books about languages.
14
He was born in Czechoslovakia, but came to England with his father when he was very young.
15
He met Carol when she was one of his students at university.
16
''The first concert is on December 20th,'' Carol answered.
17
''Are you free then?'' No, I'm sorry, Carol, Jan said,
18
but I can't come before December the 24th.
19
Well, it doesn't matter.
20
You can come for the second concert.
21
It's on December the 25th.
22
But what about my father? said Jan.
23
We can't go away and leave him at Christmas time.
24
He loves a family Christmas with us.
25
You know that.
26
Josef Vlach was sixty-eight years old, and his eyes were bad.
27
He couldn't see very well.
28
So he lived with Carol and Jan.
29
Yosef can come with us, Carol said.
30
He often talks about Prague at Christmas.
31
He says it's the most beautiful time of the year there, because of all the snow on the old buildings.
32
I know, said Jan, but he only talks about Prague.
33
He never wants to go there.
34
Every time we ask him to come with us, he says no. I don't know why,
35
but I think it's because of my mother.
36
When he thinks about Prague, he remembers her.
37
You know, sometimes he cries when he looks at his photo of her, after all these years.
38
Just then, the door opened and Jan's father came slowly into the room.
39
Good morning, he said, and sat down at the table. Is there any coffee?
40
It's cold now, said Carol.
41
Shall I make you some more?
42
Thank you, my dear, he answered.
43
You're very good to me.
44
Carol went out for some coffee.
45
Jan looked at his father carefully.
46
I must ask him now, he thought, while Carol is out of the room.
47
You're very quiet, Jan, said the old man. Is something wrong?
48
No, no, said Jan quickly.
49
Nothing's wrong.
50
It's just...
51
I want to ask you a question, but...
52
It's difficult.
53
Jan stopped.
54
His father smiled.
55
Difficult?
56
Why is it difficult?
57
Are you afraid of an old man?
58
Of course not, said Jan.
59
But I am afraid of your answer.
60
You see, Carol wants to go very much.
61
She loves playing her harp, but it's Christmas time and- Stop, said Josef.
62
What are you talking about?
63
Where does Carol want to go at Christmas?" "'To Prague,' said Jan.
64
And I would like to go with her.
65
We want you to come too.' "'Ah,' said the old man, "'to Prague.
66
I understand now.' The room was suddenly very quiet.
67
Jan drank his cold coffee and waited.
68
The old man took something out of his pocket.
69
It was a photograph of his dead wife, Jan's mother.
70
He spoke very quietly, not to Jan, but to the photograph in his hand.
71
Perhaps now, before I die, just once I can go back again.
72
Carol came back with some hot coffee.
73
She looked at Josef, then at Jan.
74
Shh!
75
He's thinking about Prague, Jan said quietly.
76
Carol put the coffee on the table and sat down.
77
The hands on the clock slowly moved through two long minutes.
78
Then the old man put the photograph back in his pocket.
79
All right, he said.
80
Let's all go to Prague for Christmas.
81
It's beautiful there when it snows.
82
I remember it so well, so very well.
83
Thank you.
84
Thank you.

本节课学习内容

通过《布拉格的圣诞节第二章》这段视频对话，你将练习听懂日常口语中的连读、弱读，还能学习如何用英语表达节日计划、家庭顾虑等实用场景。跟着视频进行“shadow speak”训练，既能提升听力，又能锻炼口语流畅度，轻松实现“看YouTube学英语”的高效学习。

核心词汇与短语

  • harpist：竖琴演奏者（视频中Carol的职业，可结合语境记忆）
  • the weeks before Christmas：圣诞节前的几周（常用时间表达，注意介词搭配）
  • family Christmas：家庭圣诞聚会（节日场景高频短语）
  • bad eyes：视力不好（口语中描述身体状况的简洁表达）
  • remember her：想起她（情感表达，注意语调变化）

练习技巧：如何高效Shadowing

这段视频对话语速适中，语气自然，非常适合“shadowing”训练。建议先完整听一遍，抓住故事脉络；再逐句暂停，模仿发音和语调，尤其注意Jan父子对话时的轻声和犹豫感。练习时可使用“shadowing site”辅助，重复播放难点句子。坚持每天10分钟，不仅能提高英语发音，还能培养语感。记住，影子跟读的关键是“同步”——尽量跟上原速，哪怕一开始跟不上也没关系，慢慢就能感受到进步！

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。
