I used to rule the world,
2
sees it rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone,
3
sweep the streets I used to own
4
I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my
5
enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing Now the old king is dead,
6
long live the king One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me
7
And I discovered that my castle stand Upon pillars of sun,
8
pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror,
9
my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you've gone,
10
it was never, never an honest word That was
11
when I ruled the
12
world It was
13
the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows
14
and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become
15
Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a
16
puppet on a lonely string Of who would ever want to
17
be king I hear cherished little bells ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror,
18
my sword
19
and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason
20
I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word
21
But that was when I ruled the world Oh,

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
23
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
24
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh I'll mirror my sword
25
and shield I'm missionaries in a foreign field There's some reason I can't explain I know a saint,

he don't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world
27
Thank you.

  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比,特别注意 mirror, sword, shield 这类单词。

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。
