1
So I came home one day from working at a job called Ecolab where I sprayed for cockroaches.
2
I made a thousand dollars a month weighing 300 pounds.
3
And I got home and I watched a show on Discovery Channel of guys carrying boats and logs, Navy SEAL training.
4
And I decided to make a change in my life.
5
And I called the recruiter up and he asked me these questions.
6
He had to meet a certain height and weight limit.
7
I was 6'1 and 300 pounds.
8
He laughed at me.
9
Seven other recruiters laughed at me.
10
One recruiter finally said, come on in, I'm too busy to talk to you on the phone.
11
He didn't know how much I weighed.
12
I walked in the recruiter's office and he looked at me and he said, you're fat and you're black.
13
Got someone to be a Navy SEAL.
14
I didn't know there'd only been 35 African American Navy SEALs at that time, in over 70 years.
15
He said, I basically had to lose 106 pounds in less than three months because of my age.
16
I was getting too old.
17
I came back three months later, 106 pounds lighter.
18
I, uh, thank you.
19
And literally, I spent 18 months going through BUDS, which is a six-month program.
20
Went through three Hell Weeks.
21
That is where I met Marcus Attrell, Danny Dietz, Michael Murphy, another Medal of Honor winner.
22
I went through Hell Week with all these guys, real heroes.
23
I am not a hero.
24
I served with real heroes.
25
And from there, I went on to raise over two million dollars for Special Operations Warrior Foundation. But...
26
I'm gonna end you with this right here.
27
I have the most respect I can possibly muster up for all of you in this room.
28
I know what it takes to be a combat soldier, and I used to look for courage.
29
I thought courage was a man who won the Medal of Honor.
30
It is.
31
But courage is a man who's willing to put those boots
32
on every single day of his life to go out there and fight for this country
33
where nobody even knows what the hell they're doing or where the hell they're at.
34
You do it for the man beside you.
35
Thank you.

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。
