Hi, honey.
2
How was your day?
3
I worked straight through lunch and I'm starving.
4
What's this?
5
It's a pineapple upside-down cake.
6
Wow.
7
Reminds me of the cake your old friend Bree brought to dinner last month.
8
Huh, I don't remember that.
9
Because obviously, Bree didn't make this one, since I don't see her anymore, because I know how you feel about her.
10
So where'd this come from?
11
I...
12
...made it.
13
Really?
14
The woman who ordered in Chinese food for Christmas dinner made a pineapple upside-down cake.
15
Well, not that hard.
16
It's just some pineapples and upside-down cake.
17
You know what?
18
This looks so good.
19
I would love for you to make me one just like it.
20
Right now?
21
Yeah.
22
And I'm gonna sit here and watch you.
23
Every step of the way.
24
Sure.
25
No problem.
26
Uh...
27
First, I'm gonna get some flour.
28
Cause you can't make a cake without flour, right?
29
Oh no!
30
Got it all over me.
31
Maybe I should take my top off.
32
In fact, why don't you and I go up to the bedroom and...
33
Make the cake.
34
Well, you really are hungry.
35
Well, let me freshen up first.
36
He wants you to make a pineapple upside down cake?
37
The woman who ordered in Chinese for Christmas?
38
Yes, we've already covered that.
39
Now what am I going to do?
40
If I can't make this, he's gonna know I've been seeing you.
41
Just tell him I'll make one and slip it to you.
42
No, he wants to watch me make it.
43
Okay, don't panic.
44
We can do this.
45
How?
46
Okay.
47
One pineapple upside down cake.
48
Coming right up.
49
First, preheat your oven to 300.
50
First, I'm gonna preheat my oven to 300.
51
Then we're gonna start with the caramel topping.
52
And then we're gonna start with the caramel topping.
53
For which I will need...
54
Sugar.
55
Brown sugar. And butter.
56
How much butter?
57
Who are you talking to?
58
Oh, my grandmother.
59
See, this was her recipe, and talking to her makes me feel like we're making it together.
60
How much butter, Grandma?
61
Quarter cup?
62
Got it.
63
I'm not
64
going to be able to do that.
65
I heard an oven timer go off.
66
Let's take a look.
67
No!
68
No, not yet.
69
Secret's all in the cooling, and in fact, it'll probably cool faster on the windowsill.
70
Hi, we're collecting for juvenile.
71
Out of my way.
72
Hot cake!
73
Okay, but while we're waiting, there's just one thing I have to say.
74
Hey, this is not about a cake.
75
This is about trust.
76
It is a sad day when a husband forces a wife to bake for him just to prove she's not a liar.
77
Do you have any idea how offensive that is?
78
Cake's ready.
79
Ah, there.
80
one perfect pineapple upside down cake.
81
If only trust were so easy to make.

关于本课

在这一课中，您将通过观看《绝望主妇》中Gaby烘焙菠萝倒置蛋糕的场景，练习英语口语。您将学会如何描述食物烹饪过程，使用日常对话中的常见短语，并提高您的发音和语调。通过模仿角色的对话，您可以有效提升您的英语口语能力，特别适合进行英语影子跟读（shadowspeak）练习。

关键词汇与短语

  • pineapple upside-down cake - 菠萝倒置蛋糕
  • worked straight through lunch - 午餐时间一直工作
  • starving - 饥饿
  • first, I'm gonna get some flour - 首先，我要拿一些面粉
  • preheat your oven - 预热烤箱
  • maybe I should take my top off - 或许我该脱掉上衣
  • don't panic - 不要惊慌
  • I would love for you to make me one - 我希望你给我做一个

练习技巧

在观看本视频时，您可以尝试进行影子跟读（shadow speak）练习。注意对话中的语速，尤其是那种自然流畅的交谈方式。可以采用以下几个步骤来帮助您提高发音：

  • 慢速重复：首先，慢慢跟读视频中的每一句话，注意语音语调的变化和节奏。
  • 分段练习：将长句子分成短句子，逐句重复，确保每个词都能清晰发音。
  • 情感表达：模仿角色的情感和语气，例如在对话中的激动或紧张的表情，帮助您自然掌握语调。
  • 进行多次练习：为了加深记忆，重复多次练习，直到您能够自信流利地说出这些句子。

这种方法不仅能增强您的语音能力，还能为您提供更生动的对话练习，非常适合进行英语口语练习（英语影子跟读）。

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。
