1
When I tell you that a relationship and being in a relationship will not make you happy, what happens inside of you?
0:02.46 0:11.10 (8.6s)
2
Because it's a deeply unsettling statement.
0:11.10 0:16.22 (5.1s)
3
Why would we ever be in a relationship if it wasn't going to make us happy?
0:17.50 0:22.30 (4.8s)
4
And yet never before have we put so much pressure on a romantic relationship to not only be a source of happiness, but the ultimate pathway to transcendent joy.
0:24.34 0:41.46 (17.1s)
5
We're told if you meet the right person, if you are with your soulmate, you will watch all your insecurities, your anxieties, your trauma just evaporate.
0:43.68 0:59.20 (15.5s)
6
And that with the right person, you will feel complete.
1:00.44 1:04.76 (4.3s)
7
One are the days where we partner for survival, where we partner for family alliances or duty.
1:07.28 1:15.90 (8.6s)
8
Today what we want in a partner is a best friend, the best sex we've ever had in our life, our spiritual mentor or guru, and maybe even our parent wrapped up into one super hot package.
1:16.44 1:38.86 (22.4s)
9
And even more than that, what people crave is someone who is more evolved than them.
1:42.54 1:49.78 (7.2s)
10
Like we want this super evolved, angelic being who is more mature than us, has more emotional intelligence than us, because then we think when we meet this person, we can finally relax because the little child that lives inside of us can finally feel safe, seen, understood.
1:50.38 2:18.12 (27.7s)
11
I met a girl recently, young woman, 28, 29, somewhere in her 20s.
2:21.44 2:26.16 (4.7s)
12
And she told me that she was trying to manifest her soulmate.
2:26.84 2:32.56 (5.7s)
13
And so I said, okay, how do you plan on doing that?
2:32.86 2:35.68 (2.8s)
14
And she said, well, I have a list of everything that I want in a partner and everything that I want to feel in this relationship.
2:36.52 2:44.64 (8.1s)
15
I said, okay, give me the list.
2:44.34 2:46.60 (2.3s)
16
I need to look at this list.
2:48.12 2:49.36 (1.2s)
17
And there was like 60 to 70 things on this list.
2:50.96 2:55.92 (5.0s)
18
No, this is not an exaggeration, literally.
2:57.70 3:00.78 (3.1s)
19
But what's so interesting is that this list is among thousands, thousands of lists that I have seen throughout the years from clients, from people who've messaged me on social media, from people who've emailed me, from friends.
3:01.94 3:17.80 (15.9s)
20
I've even written lists like this before.
3:17.26 3:20.32 (3.1s)
21
And every single list I have ever looked at has had a few words in common.
3:21.96 3:29.36 (7.4s)
22
Peace.
3:32.20 3:32.80 (0.6s)
23
Safety.
3:32.80 3:35.42 (2.6s)
24
Joy.
3:35.42 3:38.12 (2.7s)
25
Fun.
3:38.12 3:41.16 (3.0s)
26
Adventure.
3:41.16 3:42.52 (1.4s)
27
And when I think about what all those feelings and words represent, What they really represent is a feeling of aliveness.
3:44.24 3:55.22 (11.0s)
28
And in my view, that's what joy is.
3:56.30 3:59.48 (3.2s)
29
It's feeling that thing that we feel way too little when we are completely unburdened by all our stress, all our family drama, all our childhood crap.
3:59.44 4:18.94 (19.5s)
30
We feel more like who we really are.
4:21.14 4:24.32 (3.2s)
31
And we think that when we're with this person, that that's what they're giving us.
4:24.34 4:31.98 (7.6s)
32
And that's what we want from a relationship is to feel that aliveness.
4:33.64 4:40.96 (7.3s)
33
And yet, there are two lessons that I've learned about relationships after working with people in some capacity for two decades.
4:43.04 4:54.72 (11.7s)
34
And these are the two, like, most life-changing lessons I've ever learned.
4:56.02 5:00.30 (4.3s)
35
The first one is, a relationship's job is not to make us happy.
5:01.58 5:09.32 (7.7s)
36
It is our job to make the relationship happy.
5:11.40 5:14.22 (2.8s)
37
In other words, the quality of a relationship is directly proportional to the quality of energy and emotions both people consistently bring to the relationship.
5:18.18 5:31.16 (13.0s)
38
Meaning a relationship, particularly a romantic one, is a mirror.
5:32.54 5:37.40 (4.9s)
39
And it is always reflecting back the internal states of both people.
5:38.28 5:42.92 (4.6s)
40
This can be fairly difficult to digest because we're not always gonna be in a good mood.
5:45.12 5:51.54 (6.4s)
41
And life can be very hard.
5:52.88 5:54.82 (1.9s)
42
And sometimes we're just, like I said, we're going to wake up on the wrong side of the bed and just be negative.
5:56.16 6:01.86 (5.7s)
43
That's a good day sometimes.
6:02.78 6:04.42 (1.6s)
44
On the other end of the spectrum, we are going to go through loss and heartbreak and struggle with our mental health.
6:05.92 6:11.78 (5.9s)
45
And when we are in a relationship with someone over the long term, you're going to go through seasons where you're not going to be as connected.
6:13.12 6:23.08 (10.0s)
46
You might have money problems.
6:24.70 6:25.64 (0.9s)
47
You might lose your home.
6:24.66 6:26.68 (2.0s)
48
You might deal with illness.
6:26.08 6:29.64 (3.6s)
49
Someone you love, like your parents, they're going to die.
6:30.26 6:32.64 (2.4s)
50
And so I'm not saying that you have to be, like, happy and free and alive and joyful and, like, that's your responsibility all the time.
6:33.66 6:43.64 (10.0s)
51
And what I am saying is the quality of a relationship is the quality of the two people inside of it.
6:45.68 6:52.30 (6.6s)
52
In the beginning of a relationship, we are exciting, we are fun, we are loving, we are joyful, we are free.
6:53.70 7:04.46 (10.8s)
53
Because falling in love is really easy.
7:08.00 7:10.50 (2.5s)
54
It demands nothing of us.
7:10.50 7:12.02 (1.5s)
55
All the hormones will do that for us.
7:12.02 7:14.10 (2.1s)
56
And then we meet this person and there's so much hope.
7:14.62 7:17.90 (3.3s)
57
and then as the months go by and certainly as the years go by we become comfortable and when we become comfortable we fall back into familiar emotional patterns that if we were really honest with ourselves we had long before we ever met the person we were with And so, you know, we bring some exhaustion, negativity.
7:20.58 7:50.40 (29.8s)
58
We start to complain.
7:49.90 7:52.12 (2.2s)
59
We're like, not just once in a while in a bad mood, we're kind of always in a bad mood or we're just bringing all that home.
7:53.86 8:00.72 (6.9s)
60
And then we wake up one day and we think, huh, I wonder where the spark went.
8:00.24 8:04.34 (4.1s)
61
And then we start to think, you're not as amazing as I had thought.
8:06.38 8:12.12 (5.7s)
62
And, you know, we get a little resentful, and that resentment turns into resistance.
8:12.76 8:19.56 (6.8s)
63
And the next thing you know, we don't even want this person near us, let alone to touch us.
8:20.30 8:25.26 (5.0s)
64
And that's because we forgot that we have to bring joy to the relationship.
8:27.70 8:34.26 (6.6s)
65
That a relationship, we can't just expect to extract happiness from a relationship.
8:33.78 8:39.60 (5.8s)
66
we actually have to be a source of happiness for the relationship.
8:39.56 8:43.42 (3.9s)
67
The second lesson, which is similar to the first, is a relationship will also always reflect your relationship with yourself.
8:44.90 8:54.40 (9.5s)
68
I have a friend.
8:54.40 8:55.14 (0.7s)
69
I've been friends with her for many, many years, and she's been married for like, I don't know, 15, 16, 17 years, something like that.
8:55.14 9:01.92 (6.8s)
70
And for the first several years of their relationship, she would call me up very agitated and worried because she was questioning her marriage and questioning whether or not she was with the right person.
9:03.22 9:20.48 (17.3s)
71
And she was questioning him even before she got married.
9:20.46 9:22.78 (2.3s)
72
She had a year of just dealing with that.
9:22.76 9:25.36 (2.6s)
73
And this was happening like twice a year.
9:26.08 9:27.86 (1.8s)
74
and every time I would either sit with her or talk on the phone with her to help her process and I really wanted to help her process because I knew without a shadow of a doubt that they were right for each other so I wanted to help her understand where all this ambivalence was coming from.
9:29.68 9:53.94 (24.3s)
75
And what we discovered after many times going through this process together of talking about it was that there was a pattern.
9:53.94 10:07.16 (13.2s)
76
Every single time this suffering came up in her where she felt where she was struggling with whether or not she should be with this person with this man there was something going on with her she felt i don't know untethered to herself she was unfulfilled at work or she was burning the candle from both ends and just absolutely exhausted.
10:07.16 10:41.32 (34.2s)
77
Or she was like having some fight with her mom or her dad or her sister.
10:41.32 10:46.26 (4.9s)
78
She was just like, there was just these layers of suffering, discontent, these things.
10:46.26 10:51.30 (5.0s)
79
It's part of the human experience.
10:51.30 10:52.82 (1.5s)
80
Sometimes we have these sort of existential crises where we're just not happy and we're questioning everything.
10:52.82 10:58.64 (5.8s)
81
And then she projected that onto her relationship when it had absolutely nothing to do with her husband or her marriage.
10:58.64 11:11.10 (12.5s)
82
She thought that the reason why she was feeling this, that it must have been her relationship, when the truth was it was something going on between her and her.
11:13.38 11:23.90 (10.5s)
83
It was needs that she had to learn how to meet for herself.
11:23.46 11:27.78 (4.3s)
84
It was not her man's responsibility.
11:28.02 11:30.44 (2.4s)
85
It was not the relationship's responsibility.
11:31.30 11:34.90 (3.6s)
86
And then when she started to address that and just realized when she was getting that restlessness, instead of immediately turning to, I don't know if I'm in the right relationship, she immediately then started to turn to, oh, what's going on with me?
11:37.18 11:50.62 (13.4s)
87
Because when we are going through a hard time, when we are feeling disconnected, if work's not going well, if we're feeling sort of unfulfilled, feeling sort of negative, down about life, down about our future, the lens through which we see the world and everyone in it will be distorted and so the ultimate form of self-awareness is to understand and to identify when you are in that state and to realize you cannot trust what's going on up here it's really too messy and that your relationship with yourself always needs your attention.
11:51.08 12:28.73 (37.6s)
88
And that fulfillment is an inside job.
12:29.77 12:31.95 (2.2s)
89
Your partner's job is not to fulfill you.
12:31.95 12:34.59 (2.6s)
90
Should they add value to your life?
12:34.59 12:36.57 (2.0s)
91
Absolutely.
12:36.57 12:37.17 (0.6s)
92
But it's not their job to fulfill you.
12:37.17 12:40.57 (3.4s)
93
Not the job.
12:40.57 12:42.01 (1.4s)
94
It's not their job to make you feel joy or alive.
12:42.01 12:44.47 (2.5s)
95
But there was something else about their marriage that was very interesting that taught me a lot and that is we actually have to create the conditions for joy in order to experience joy the falling in love stage we don't have to do anything again we're flooded with all these hormones there's novelty there's newness there's all this physical attraction and like all this stuff is happening but individually and also in a relationship if if we're feeling kind of down, we have to do the things that actually bring us joy to remind us of who we are, whatever that is.
12:44.47 13:22.03 (37.6s)
96
Sometimes it's just listening to music and dancing.
13:21.51 13:24.39 (2.9s)
97
So they started to recognize that whenever they were like starting to feel like, you know, stuck in routine, like we all do.
13:26.89 13:34.53 (7.6s)
98
We get stuck in routine, especially marriages, marriages with children, everything gets focused on, you know, getting things done.
13:33.99 13:40.93 (6.9s)
99
The focus is the partnership of the relationship rather than the passion of the relationship.
13:40.69 13:47.07 (6.4s)
100
And so they started to notice that when they were starting to get restless and then they would start to bicker, that they actually had to create the conditions for joy.
13:49.27 13:57.49 (8.2s)
101
These two people become electric and so bonded when they travel.
13:57.45 14:06.27 (8.8s)
102
That's like, that's their glue.
14:05.99 14:08.63 (2.6s)
103
And so now they realize that when they're kind of like getting that icky feeling and they're taking it out on each other and they're bickering, whatever, they're feeling disconnected.
14:08.71 14:18.53 (9.8s)
104
That's when they take a trip, even if it's just like a two day adventure somewhere, it doesn't have to be, it's not extravagant.
14:18.49 14:24.35 (5.9s)
105
And that's when they just rediscover not only their own joy, but their joy as a couple.
14:24.63 14:32.33 (7.7s)
106
So we have to create the conditions for joy.
14:32.91 14:35.53 (2.6s)
107
The relationship is not just going to sustain itself, we have to sustain it.
14:35.65 14:41.21 (5.6s)
108
And look, relationships, they end for lots of different reasons.
14:43.03 14:48.01 (5.0s)
109
Sometimes there's a betrayal.
14:49.23 14:50.51 (1.3s)
110
Sometimes we're just with the wrong person, always have been, and we finally are just realizing it and taking the courageous step to leave the relationship.
14:52.31 15:03.33 (11.0s)
111
Sometimes we grow apart.
15:04.25 15:05.71 (1.5s)
112
but a lot of times what happens is that both people are not taking responsibility for being a source of happiness for the relationship and so they get so incredibly comfortable until one day they feel like roommates and they've gotten to the point of no return there are a lot of things that we need to work on in order to make a relationship healthy and thriving communication how to repair after conflict that's huge working on whatever childhood stuff is making its way creeping its way into the relationship We got to work on ourselves.
15:11.83 15:59.37 (47.5s)
113
We have to work on ourselves.
15:58.77 16:01.53 (2.8s)
114
But I promise you, I really truly promise you that no amount of communication and no amount of understanding your attachment style can ever make up for a lack of responsibility when it comes to bringing aliveness to your relationship.
16:03.93 16:25.53 (21.6s)
115
Thank you.

关于本课

在本课中,您将通过分析Jillian Turecki的演讲来提高您的英语听力和口语表达能力。通过学习如何在关系中寻找快乐和满足,我们将了解如何将这些概念融入您的日常生活中。您将练习 shadow speaking,即通过模仿和跟读来提高英语发音,并在此过程中更深入地理解演讲内容。

重要词汇与短语

  • 幸福 (happiness) - 在关系中所期望的情感状态。
  • 安全 (safety) - 关系中给予彼此的基本需求。
  • 乐趣 (fun) - 在关系中获得的轻松和愉快的体验。
  • 冒险 (adventure) - 对新体验的渴望,增强关系的动力。
  • 成长 (growth) - 在关系中相互促进,追求更好的自己。
  • 内在状态 (internal states) - 两人在关系中反映出的情感和心理状态。
  • 镜子 (mirror) - 比喻,表示关系反映出个人的内在情感。
  • 童年创伤 (childhood trauma) - 可能影响我们在关系中的表现和期望。

练习技巧

在观看这个视频时,您可以利用 shadowing 的方法来改善您的英语口语能力。首先,观察演讲者的语速与语调。Jillian的风格以平静和富有感染力为特点,您可以尝试模仿她的语音节奏。选择短句进行重复,尽量跟随她的语调和停顿,这样可以有效帮助您提高英语发音。

此外,在您熟悉了台词后,可以开始自我录音。比较您的录音与原视频,关注发音的差异。反复练习,您会察觉到自己的改进。抽出时间专注于 shadow speech,尤其是在紧凑的语句中,您可以提高口语流利度并增强自信心。记得在练习时保留积极的心态,给自己一些空间去犯错和学习。

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。

如何在ShadowingEnglish上有效练习

  1. 选择您的视频: 挑选一段语音清晰、自然的YouTube视频。TED演讲,BBC新闻,电影片段,播客或雅思口语范例都很好。将URL粘贴到搜索栏中。从较短的视频(短于5分钟)以及您真正感兴趣的内容开始——兴趣是最重要的导师。
  2. 先听,理解上下文: 第一次听的时候,将速度保持在1倍速并仅仅倾听。还不要尝试重复。专注于理解其含义,收集新词汇,并注意讲话人如何强调单词,连读声音及使用停顿。
  3. 设置跟读模式:
    • 等待模式:选择 +3s+5s ——在每句话播放完毕后,视频会自动暂停以便您有时间大声重复它。如果您想完全控制并在每次重复后由您自己点击下一步,请选择 手动
    • 字幕同步:YouTube字幕有时会在音频前或后略微出现。使用 ±100ms 使它们完美对齐以助您准确跟读。
  4. 大声跟读(核心练习): 这是真正发生改变的一步。当一个句子播放出来立刻——或在暂停期间——大声、清晰且自信地重复出来。千万不要只是张张嘴:要模仿说话者的准确节奏、重音、音高和连读。力求听上去就像说话者的影子,而不仅是逐字背诵。使用重复功能多次练习同一个句子,直到感觉自然为止。
  5. 提高难度: 当练习段落变得相对舒适后,就去挑战自我。将速度增加至 <code>1.25x</code> 或甚至 <code>1.5x</code> 以训练高速语言反射。或者将等待模式调整为 <code>关闭</code> 以进行连续跟读——这是最进阶同样收益最大的模式。持续的每日15–30分钟的练习将可以在几周内产生可见的效果。
