Reza Zaini Reviewer Thank you.

Two years ago, I launched a campaign called HeForShe at the UN in New York.
3
I was very nervous before that speech.
4
The nerves were followed by a tremendous high immediately afterwards and a crashing low a few days after that.
5
My best hopes and my worst fears were confirmed all at once.
6
I had opened Pandora's box to a standing ovation
7
and almost simultaneously a level of critique I had never experienced in my life
8
and the beginning of what would become a series of threats.
9
The last two years have been a baptism of fire,
10
to say the least, where I learnt just how little I know and also how much.
11
It was my scary first step as an activist, a word I never imagined that I would use to describe myself.
12
So, reading the applications of activists who applied here for One Young World Scholarships was surprising to me.
13
Here I was reading the stories of people from nearly 200 different countries from around the world with experiences
14
that I couldn't even imagine.
15
I mean, I really just, they were so out of this world to me.
16
And yet, their notes looked like my notes.
17
The same themes emerged over and over and over again.
18
There was so much overlap with the things that I had been thinking about and that I had been struggling with.
19
Because the truth is, it had never been about being an activist.
20
It was about the choice to make myself visible.
21
and the choices that you made to do that too.
22
Apart from the significant progress the world has made in the cause for equality, the best thing about the last two years has been this.
23
Finding people from such disparate experiences and communities that I found that I have something in common with.
24
This is a community of artists, spiritual teachers, dreamers, thinkers, doers,
25
who work together and support each other.
26
For the first time in my life, I found my sisterhood, a brotherhood, however you want to describe it.
27
I found my tribe.
28
My hope for you while you're here is that you will find some of your tribe too.
29
I really needed mine.
30
Bobby Kennedy, when he was senator for New York,
31
said, Each time a man or woman stands up for an ideal Or acts to improve the lots of others
32
Or strikes out against injustice
33
He sends forth a tiny ripple of hope
34
And crossing each other from a million different centres of energy
35
Those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest wall of oppression and resistance.
36
That's what we are doing.
37
We, the entire spectrum of the feminist movement,
38
are building an unstoppable current for which we need ripples of hope from every age,
39
race, ability, walk of life from every human experience.
40
I feel gender equality is as important as any of the other goals that we are here to discuss.
41
And actually, if anything, it is even more important because it intersects with every single other issue that we face.
42
We all have feminine and masculine energies within us.
43
And both forces need to be lifted up, respected.
44
They need to work together in order to make the world go round.
45
Each of you are here at One Young World because you do something important.
46
And it is so exciting to see you all come together in one room, because One Young World isn't about saying what I,
47
each of us individually, can do, but what we can do.
48
Working together, supporting, and listening to each other.
49
It's in that spirit
50
that I am delighted to introduce nine activists who were the first recipients of a One Young World scholarship
51
that I am very honoured to have in my name.
52
They are working to secure real progress towards a gender equal world
53
and I hope that their stories will inspire you as much as they have inspired me.
54
In a moment, I'm going to ask them to come onto the stage, but before I do, I want to offer a few statements of my own
55
that I have struggled with and continue to struggle with on a daily basis, but that I have found inspiring.
56
I want to ask you to take a moment, you can keep your eyes closed or keep them open,
57
and ask yourself if these have any truth for you in them.
58
I am willing to be seen.
59
I am willing to speak up.
60
I am I am willing to keep going.
61
I am willing to listen to what others have to say.
62
I am willing to go forward even when I feel alone.
63
I am willing to go to bed each night at peace with myself.
64
I am willing to be my biggest, bestest, most powerful self.
65
These seven statements scare the absolute shit out of me.
66
But I know that they are at the crux of it all.
67
At the end of the day, and when all is said and done,
68
I know that these are the ways that I want to have lived my life.
69
I know each one of you probably will have encountered one of these statements in the last 48 hours, and if you have, thank you for being here.
70
I appreciate it.
71
It's truly an honor to be here with you all.
72
Thank you.
73
Thank you.

你能学到什么

这段视频能帮你提升两项关键口语技能:一是在公众演讲中自然表达情感,比如艾玛·沃特森在分享经历时,将紧张、坚定等情绪融入话语的技巧;二是清晰传递复杂观点,她通过“涟漪效应”等比喻,让抽象概念更易懂。此外,还能学习如何用简洁语言与听众建立连接,比如用“我的部落”这样的表达引发共鸣。

留意这些发音现象

视频中存在不少连读和弱读现象,比如:“a level of critique”中“of”弱读为/əv/;“work together”中“work”和“together”连读为/wɜːk təˈɡeðə(r)/;“it is even more important”中“it is”连读为/ɪt s/。这些连读让话语更流畅,是 native speaker 常用的表达习惯,适合作为shadowing 练习的重点。

像母语者一样表达

模仿艾玛的节奏和重音能让你的口语更地道。她的演讲节奏快慢有致,在强调关键观点时会放慢速度,比如“我愿意被看见”“我们正在创造不可阻挡的洪流”。重音通常落在实词上,如“平等”“希望”“行动”。练习时可借助shadowing site,逐句跟读并录音对比,重点关注她如何通过语调变化传递力量。此外,她的口语中带有自然的停顿,比如在列举“艺术家、精神导师、梦想家”时的短暂停顿,这能让你的表达更有层次感,适合雅思口语练习。

通过这段视频进行shadowspeak训练,不仅能提高英语发音,还能掌握演讲中的情感表达和逻辑结构。每天坚持 15 分钟,你会发现自己的口语流畅度和感染力显著提升。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:

结构视频中的用法
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事have been · has made · have inspired
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的were followed · were confirmed · be lifted

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。
