1
How do you know you're real?
2
It's an obvious question until you try to answer it, but let's take it seriously.
3
How do you really know you exist?
4
In his "Meditations on First Philosophy," René Descartes tried to answer that very question, demolishing all his preconceived notions and opinions to begin again from the foundations.
5
All his knowledge had come from his sensory perceptions of the world.
6
Same as you, right?
7
You know you're watching this video with your eyes, hearing it with your ears.
8
Your senses show you the world as it is.
9
They aren't deceiving you, but sometimes they do.
10
You might mistake a person far away for someone else, or you're sure you're about to catch a flyball, and it hits the ground in front of you.
11
But come on, right here and now, you know what's right in front of you is real.
12
Your eyes, your hands, your body: that's you.
13
Only crazy people would deny that, and you know you're not crazy.
14
Anyone who'd doubt that must be dreaming.
15
Oh no, what if you're dreaming?
16
Dreams feel real.
17
You can believe you're swimming, flying or fighting off monsters with your bare hands, when your real body is lying in bed.
18
No, no, no.
19
When you're awake, you know you're awake.
20
Ah! But when you aren't, you don't know you aren't, so you can't prove you aren't dreaming.
21
Maybe the body you perceive yourself to have isn't really there.
22
Maybe all of reality, even its abstract concepts, like time, shape, color and number are false, all just deceptions concocted by an evil genius!
23
No, seriously.
24
Descartes asks if you can disprove the idea that an evil genius demon has tricked you into believing reality is real.
25
Perhaps this diabolical deceiver has duped you.
26
The world, your perceptions of it, your very body.
27
You can't disprove that they're all just made up, and how could you exist without them?
28
You couldn't! So, you don't.
29
Life is but a dream, and I bet you aren't row, row, rowing the boat merrily at all, are you?
30
No, you're rowing it wearily like the duped, nonexistent doof you are/aren't.
31
Do you find that convincing?
32
Are you persuaded?
33
If you aren't, good; if you are, even better, because by being persuaded, you would prove that you're a persuaded being.
34
You can't be nothing if you think you're something, even if you think that something is nothing because no matter what you think, you're a thinking thing, or as Descartes put it, "I think, therefore I am," and so are you, really.

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。
