跟读练习: Fears - 通过视频学习英语口语
正在创建课程...
1
When people ask me what my fears are, and what I'm scared of, I know they're expecting something tangible like clowns, needles, my credit card bill.
2
But I can't really attribute my fears to...single entities.
3
I look through a list of phobias and while some of them do seem scary on paper, I haven't really been directly exposed to them to know if I'd be scared.
4
I'm only scared by proxy because I know other people are like dinosaurs, a T-rex, for example.
5
I can't say exactly if I am scared of them, they are scary, portrayed by media, movies, and whatnot, but I've never been, or probably never will be confronted by an actual T-rex to give it a chance to scare me.
6
So, I don't know if I'm scared of 'em.
7
Does that make sense?
8
I mentioned way back in my bugs video that it was usually my job to cleanse our house of bug invasions because I'd be the only one indifferent enough to confront the bugs.
9
And I live in Canada. We're not exactly known for our killer bugs.
10
Sure, we have black widows but that's like one breed.
11
And you can easily distinguish them because they're fully black; — Du-uh!
12
With red marks on their abdomen and backs.
13
There are so many types of spiders here.
14
I can't just assume every single one is a black widow. That's RACIST!
15
I'd say I just have a general fear of... dying.
16
Well, I guess, more so the pain of the method that leads to death, which most of you can probably say for yourself as well.
17
I'm not scared of clowns, I'm scared of clowns that want to kill me.
18
I'm not scared of spiders, I'm scared of spiders that want to kill me.
19
I'm not scared of heights, I'm scared of the Earth's gravitational pull that's trying to kill me at all times.
20
Growing up, I've had a lot of my peers hospitalized for injuries, and I wonder why, I myself, have never been to the ER. Maybe, it was my lack of participation in a lot of sports but it might also be because I avoided doing dumb and dangerous stunts that most kids think to be impressive by their peers? Hey, you know what's impressive? Being healthy and uninjured. Damn, look at these hospital bills!
21
They say, "No pain —no gain?" I say, "No gain — no pain!" What's that, what's that? No bisc? Uh-uh, no risk! Fear is a survival instinct, which is why I think most of us can say, we'd survive in a horror film.
22
Uh? Ah? What was that?
23
Dom? Dom? Hello?
24
Yo, are you still in the abandoned hospital?
25
Wait, Dom? A-are you ok? Where are you?
26
Yeah, I'm fine. I-I never went in!
27
I saw something weird in the window and you said, "Hu-huh, it's nothing. Don't worry about it, Dom," and I said, "No-ho-ho-ho, thank you." Hu-huh? Th-then wh-who's been with me th-this whole time?
28
You're making it real hard not to say 'I told you so'.
29
I have this technique for watching horror movies to make it seem like I'm "fearless".
30
When I think there's a scary part coming up, I shift my focus to one of the corners of the screen.
31
My peripheral vision can still see the rest of the screen, kinda, but it's out of focus, so I can't really process enough of the image to really be scared.
32
I mean I can tell it's scary because of the audio and the screaming so, I can only imagine.
33
I feel kind of bad for people with good peripheral vision.
34
"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." You right.
35
We generally fear things that are unknown or unfamiliar to us simply because we don't understand them and deem them dangerous. We use our five senses to experience and process the world around us and being unable to do so can lead to fear.
36
People are afraid of the dark because they can't see and process what's around them.
37
They are in the unknown.
38
And if they can't see and confirm that their surroundings are safe, they assume that there is potential danger.
39
If I can't see that there isn't a demon about to eat me, there is probably a demon about to eat me. That's why horror movies usually aren't scary the second time or consecutive time you watch them, assuming they were scary the first time, because you're then familiar with the events, and there is no longer a surprise factor.
40
If you're bored of zombie movies by now, it's because it's gotten stale.
41
Train to Busan doesn't need a remake! Stop remaking Asian horror films! Just read the subtitles.
42
Oh my god, you're illiterate. I have irrational fears as well.
43
Like, not closing my eyes for too long while in the shower because that gives the monster time to appear with their ugly face staring at me the moment I open my eyes, or when the lights go out while I'm in the bathroom because I remember saying "Bloody Mary" twice as a kid, and I'm worried that it carries over and that even thinking of saying it the third time will fulfill the ritual, or when I'm washing my face in front of a mirror in the bathroom and, you know, maybe I'm just scared of bathrooms.
44
Yeah, that's it.
45
Real talk though, I have a fear of being forgotten.
46
If you haven't watched Disney's Coco yet, SPOILER ALERT!
47
there's a scene with one of the characters, Chicharrón, who experiences final death in the land of the dead because there is no longer anyone in the world of the living who remembers him.
48
The fact that your existence is "deleted" because you no longer exist even in memory really hit me in the ko'koro, .
49
Like, if you're not part of anyone's recorded or remembered history, did you really even exist?
50
Or if you don't take an Instagram photo of your food, did you even really eat it?
51
Nah, I'm just kidding, yeah. Yo-you ate it stop. Stop taking photos. Eat your food.
52
But what gives me peace of mind is the latin phrase by Roman poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus a.k.a. Horace, "Non omnis moriar" which directly translates to "not everything dies", but is interpreted as "my work will live" or "I shall not wholly die." And as of now believing in this seems like our only way to immortality.
53
Do enough during the time you are here to make an impact that goes beyond your mortal lifespan.
54
I have my beliefs and ideologies, I don't really see myself as a world changer or a strong activist for anything specific, I just enjoy putting out content for people to view.
55
People ask what my end goal is with YouTube or my career in entertainment.
56
Honestly, with humble intent, I just want to be remembered.
57
Not for greatness or anything prestigious, I just don't want to be forgotten.
58
And it's kind of ironic to fear being forgotten because you wouldn't really know or have a way to prove if you were forgotten once your time has passed.
59
Or do we? Hmm, that seems like a hypothetical for another day.
60
This video has been brought to you by.....
61
Uh.. Wait, what just happened?
62
What's with the nothingness?
63
Is there going to be a jumpscare?
64
Ack. I hope not!
65
Seriously, Domics, what's with the blank outro? Please explain.
66
Why are you here? Still expecting the outro?
67
If there really isn't, I'll add it in.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语?
在这个视频中,讲述者分享了自己的恐惧和心理感受,这为英语学习者提供了一个真实的对话环境。通过观看和模仿他的讲话方式,你可以了解如何在日常对话中表达复杂的情感和思想。这种方式不仅有助于提高你的英语口语能力,还有助于你更好地理解与他人交流时可能出现的情感细节。
练习口语时,你可以通过跟随视频进行shadow speech(影子模仿),从而提升你的发音和语调。这种方法会让你在无形中吸收语言的自然节奏,使得英语口语练习变得更加有效。
语法与表达环境中的分析
- Fear of the Unknown: 讲述者提到“我们一般害怕未知或不熟悉的事物”。这一结构可以帮助你理解怎样用英语表达对不确定事物的恐惧感。
- Survival Instinct: “恐惧是生存本能”,这句话强调了恐惧在我们生活中的重要性,可以用于讨论心理状态和情感。
- Peripheral Vision: 使用“我的外围视角仍然可以看到屏幕的其他部分”,这个表达适合描述感知和注意力的变化,帮助你在日常交流中更加灵活地使用相关词汇。
- Emotional Connection: 讲述者谈到“你是否真的存在?”。这种深刻的情感表达方式适用于多种社交场合,是提升英语口语练习的绝佳例子。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中,有些词汇可能会给非母语者带来困难,例如 “demon”(恶魔)和 “hospital”(医院)。这些词在快速对话中常常会被模糊发音,需要特别注意。
此外,语调和节奏也是需要练习的重点。讲述者在恐怖片讨论部分的语速有所变化,这种技巧可以帮助你在进行shadow speak时,学习如何通过改变语速来增强表情。
通过不断的练习和模仿,你不仅可以提高英语发音,还能够更加自信地与他人交流。因此,找一个舒适的环境,随时利用视频进行英语口语练习,培养良好的语言习惯!
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。
