1
Please join me in giving a big UCLA extension welcome to our inaugural Icons of LA Award recipient, Mr. Stan Lee.
2
Thank you.
3
First of all, I hate Dean's boots.
4
He said my whole speech.
5
All the things he said, I was going to say.
6
So I sit here before you, hopeless, worried.
7
What can I possibly do to make...
8
I didn't really mean that, Dean.
9
I spent quite a lot of time writing a 25-page speech that I could give you.
10
And as I looked at it, I said, would I want to hear this speech?
11
So I tore it up.
12
So I stand here now defenseless with nothing except to tell you I think you're all great.
13
The fact that you're taking the courses you're taking,
14
you're trying to help, to add to what you already know, to make yourselves better workers,
15
better contributors, and I think that's great.
16
I think also that I'm not going to make a long speech, but I'm going to tell you I was told to say an anecdote.
17
Anecdotes are easy.
18
So I thought to myself, what kind of anecdote can I tell these people who really have more important things to do?
19
And I figured I'm going to tell you how Spider-Man came into being.
20
It's a true story, although sometimes it's hard even for me to believe it.
21
But we had I had already done the Fantastic Four and I think maybe the X-Men, I can't remember the order,
22
but my publisher came to me and he said, Stan, I want you to come up with another superhero.
23
So I said, okay, and I went home, and when my publisher said do something, I'd better do it, because I wanted to keep my job.
24
I thought, what can I come up with now?
25
And the most important thing in a superhero at first is the superpower.
26
Once you get that, everything else comes along.
27
So I thought, what power will I give a new guy?
28
And I saw a fly crawling on the wall.
29
And I said, hey, if I could get a superhero that could stick to walls and crawl on him, man, that would be cool.
30
And that, no, I'm lying to you.
31
I don't think the word cool was in use then.
32
I probably said it'll be groovy.
33
I'll never lie to you.
34
So I thought that was good, now I needed a name.
35
So I said, well, let's see, Fly Man, Mosquito Man.
36
I got down to Spider Man.
37
Spider Man, it just sounded dramatic.
38
So okay, I had my hero, I had his power, his name, and then I figured just for fun, I'm gonna give him personal problems,
39
because except for you people, your lives are perfect, But most other people have personal problems.
40
And then I thought I'd make him a teenager, because there were no teenage superheroes that I knew of at the time.
41
So armed with all that wonderful material, those great ideas, I ran into my publisher's office, and I told him.
42
This was my reaction, the reaction he gave me.
43
Stan, that is the worst idea I have ever heard.
44
First of all, and he started to give me his, because he's a very logical man, very intellectual.
45
First of all, people hate spiders,
46
so you can't call a hero spider-man you want him to be a teenager teenagers can only be sidekicks
47
and you want him to have personal problems stan don't you
48
know what a superhero is they don't have personal problems well i left the office disappointed
49
but obviously a much wiser man and i couldn't get spider-man out of my system
50
so we were about to kill a magazine i think it was called amazing fantasy it wasn't selling well
51
and we were sending the last issue to press
52
when you do the last issue of a magazine nobody cares what you put in it because the book is dying
53
just to get it out of my system I put Spider-Man
54
in Amazing Fantasy feature him on the cover forgot about it
55
a month later all the sales figures came in my publisher came racing into my office Stan Stan you remember
56
that character we both loved
57
so much Spider-Man let's do him as a series now why am I telling you this besides the fact
58
that I have to kill a little time if you have an idea
59
that you genuinely think is good don't let some idiot talk you out of it Now,
60
that doesn't mean that every wild notion you come up with is going to be genius, but if there is something that you feel is good,
61
something you want to do, something that means something to you, try to do it.
62
Because I think you can only do your best work if you're doing what you want to do,
63
and if you're doing it the way you think it should be done.
64
And if you can take pride in it after you've done it, no matter what it is, you can look at it and say, I did that, and I think it's pretty damn good.
65
That's a great feeling.
66
So don't let idiots talk you out of something something that you think is good.
67
By the same token, that doesn't mean every single thing you think is good is going to win a prize.
68
Gotta have a little judgment there.
69
I've had other things that I thought were good that didn't work, but I'll save that for the next award you give me.
70
I'll need something to tell you about.
71
And I want to say, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this award.
72
And this college has meant a lot to me.
73
I have spoken here many times over the years.
74
It's one of the great institutes of learning.
75
And to get this award, the Icon Award, I am truly touched.
76
So I want to thank the staff and whoever it is that gave it to me.
77
And I want to wish all of you the best luck in the world.
78
Just do your thing.
79
Do it as well as you.
80
That's the important thing.
81
Don't shirk.
82
Whatever you do, give it your best shot you'll be glad you did.
83
Exalt!
84
Thank you.
85
Thank you.
86
Together.

练习技巧

为了更有效地练习英语口语,建议学习者执行以下技巧:

  • 影子学习: 在观看演讲时,重复斯坦·李的语句和语调,尝试达到与他的发音和语速一致。这种shadow speech的方法可以帮助你克服说话时的紧张感。
  • 慢速模仿: 初次观看时,可以选择降低视频速度,确保能够清楚听到每个单词和短语的发音方式。在熟悉后,再逐渐提高速度。
  • 重点注意语气: 在模仿过程中,注意演讲者的情感表达和语气变化。在提升英语口语练习时,适当的情感表达可以使交流更加生动。
  • 回放关键片段: 对于认为难度较大的部分,可以多次回放,直至掌握。在处理不同的发音或短语时,可以借助shadowspeak的方式来反馈。
  • 记录进步: 每次练习后,可以录音或者录像自己说的内容,对比斯坦·李的演讲,找到差距,以便不断改进。

通过以上技巧,学习者不仅可以提高自己的口语能力,还能增强自信心,听懂更多的英语表达,尤其是在计划参加雅思考试时,以更好地准备口语部分的挑战。

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。
