1
Hey, Alex.
2
My friend Anna just opened a cafe and is having a little get-together there.
3
How about joining me?
4
Huh?
5
Oh, I'm not really in the mood to go out tonight.
6
I think I'll just stay in and read or something.
7
Are you sure?
8
I just don't get why you'd want to stay home all alone.
9
Come on.
10
You know me.
11
I'm kind of a homebody.
12
Give me a break, Alex.
13
You're no homebody.
14
It's Anna, isn't it?
15
You don't really like her, right?
16
Oh, well, she's smart and creative and everything,
17
but she just seems kind of, I don't know, mean.
18
Oh.
19
Yeah, I used to think that too.
20
But then I realized that she's just really sarcastic.
21
And you know, sometimes she can actually be kind of sweet.
22
Maybe I should get to know her better.
23
But not tonight.
24
I'm pretty beat.
25
Okay.
26
Well, swing by if you change your mind.
27
Excuse me, but you look really familiar.
28
Have we met before?
29
Uh, I'm not sure.
30
Well, how do you know Anna?
31
Oh, we're old friends.
32
We grew up together.
33
How about you?
34
Anna's my exercise buddy.
35
We run together, and sometimes we play tennis, so...
36
Well, maybe I know you from work.
37
What do you do?
38
I work for an advertising firm.
39
Oh really?
40
That's so cool.
41
How did you get interested in that?
42
Well I'd always loved watching commercials and looking at ads.
43
Really?
44
Me too.
45
I used to record all my favorite commercials.
46
No way!
47
You know, I'm starving.
48
Are you up for getting a bite to eat?
49
Sure.
50
Sure, great idea.
51
What kind of food are you in the mood for?
52
Uh, well, we could go out for shabu-shabu.
53
Oh, well, actually I'm not really crazy about cooking my own food at a restaurant.
54
Oh, that's no problem.
55
I'm up for anything.
56
What kind of food do you like?
57
Well, this might seem kind of boring, but what I really love most is pasta.
58
You're kidding!
59
Pasta is just about all I eat.
60
Wait a minute.
61
Now I know why you look familiar.
62
Aren't you Eric Martino's old roommate?
63
The one who eats nothing but pasta?
64
Yeah, I am, but how did you know that? Have we...
65
He's my brother's best friend.
66
He's posted lots of pictures of you on Facebook.
67
And he always used to complain that all you ever cooked was pasta.
68
Wow.
69
Small world.
70
Hey, let's text him a picture of the two of us.
71
That'll surprise him.

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。
