99
i could count on one hand the number of complaints

107
You will be invited back.
108

We will do everything we can to help you.

115
So anything we can do to help, we will.
116
And what have we learned from this hiatus from each other?
117
I think we learned that the Stryber Center is home, Quinlan is home, and Loyola is home.

And let me tell you one of my favorite Loyola stories.

122
13 of us went to Loyola together.
123
13 of us crossed the stage fortunately for us literally
124
and not figuratively and we're still together because we we share our common ethos.

I'm going to steal something from our president
126
and at the risk of messing up my increasingly long hair

需要注意的发音

说话人用了 26 次缩略和弱读形式,例如 I'm, we're, you're。请按听到的简短形式来说。

  • “th” 音: ethical /ˈɛθɪkəl/, ethos /ˈiθɑs/, empathetic /ˌɛmpəˈθɛtɪk/, pathos /ˈpeɪˌθɑs/
  • “sh” 和 “zh” 音: congratulations /kənˌɡɹæt͡ʃəˈleɪʃ(ə)nz/, contribution /ˌkɑntɹɪˈbjuʃən/, celebration /ˌsɛl.ɪˈbɹeɪ.ʃən/, accomplishment /əˈkɑm.plɪʃ.mənt/, unusual /ʌnˈjuːʒ(u)əl/

中文母语者容易读错的音:

  • /v/ — 不要读成 /w/,上齿轻触下唇: invite /ɪnˈvaɪt/, wherever /(h)wɛɹˈɛvɚ/, achievement /əˈt͡ʃiːv.mənt/, overcome /ˌəʊ.vəˈkʌm/, virtually /ˈvɚ.t͡ʃə.wə.li/

  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: congratulations /kənˌɡɹæt͡ʃəˈleɪʃ(ə)nz/, celebration /ˌsɛl.ɪˈbɹeɪ.ʃən/, moral /ˈmoɹəl/, incredibly /ɪŋˈkɹɛdɪbli/, remarkable /ɹɪˈmɑɹ.kə.bl̩/

如何用这段视频练习

  1. 先完整听一遍视频,不要开口,记下不认识的单词。
  2. 用正常速度逐句跟读,每句重复到你的节奏与说话人一致为止。
  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比,特别注意 congratulations, extraordinary, dean 这类单词。

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。
