跟读练习: How To Keep a Skyscraper From Falling Over - 通过视频学习英语口语
正在创建课程...
1
Why is the 600 -ton steel ball hanging from the ceiling in Taipei 101, Taiwan's tallest building?
2
It's because Taiwan sits right on the ring of fire, home of 90 % of the world's earthquakes.
3
So when you build one of the tallest buildings on Earth here, shaking isn't a rare emergency, it's a weekly occurrence.
4
Which is why the solution wasn't to fight the movement, it was to work with it.
5
Because normally if you were to add a fixed weight to the top of something, you would just increase its instability, making it way more top -heavy.
6
It's suspended, allowing essentially 100 elephants to swing freely,
7
perfectly counteracting the natural sway of the building to keep it in place in hurricanes and earthquakes.
背景与上下文
在台北101这座台湾最高的建筑中,悬挂着一个600吨的钢球。这种设计并非偶然,台湾地处环太平洋火环,90%的世界地震在此发生。当在这样一个频繁发生摇晃的区域建设高楼大厦时,如何让建筑稳固不倒成了一项重要挑战。因此,工程师们选择与这种自然运动合作,而不是硬性抵抗,这种方法的背后是丰富的科学知识和创新的设计理念。
日常交流的五个短语

逐步影随指南
要让你在收看这些内容时提高英语发音,我们可以采用“影随”方法,尤其适用于这种以科学为背景的对话。以下是逐步指导,帮助你更有效地运用这种技巧:
- 选择视频:观看与建筑、科学相关的视频,例如本视频,适合你的兴趣。
- 听并理解:初次观看时,专注于理解大意,不必立刻联系具体用词。
- 逐句影随:利用“shadowspeak”技巧,跟随视频中的每一句对话,模仿发音和语调。
- 强调关键短语:尤其注意以上列出的短语,理解其用法,并在口中反复练习。
- 重复练习:每日抽出时间进行影随练习,逐渐提高你的英语听说能力。
通过这种方式,你不仅能够提高英语发音,还能更好地理解日常对话。继续看YouTube学英语,用“shadowspeaks”的技巧让你说得更加流利!
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。
