正在创建课程...
1
All of us were parented.
2
For many of us, it went well.
3
We were loved, our views were respected, our needs were tended to.
4
It helped to make us the more or less sane people we are now.
5
But for others among us, things went really rather badly wrong.
6
Perhaps there was unreliability, anger, humiliation, violence or worse.
7
If there was, we're liable to have been deeply marked.
8
We may, even if it all happened quite a number of years ago now, keep noticing new ways in which the past is getting in the way of a good life in the present.
9
Our inadequate parenting experiences undermine our ability to have sound relationships,
10
the right sort of confidence and to extend adequate nurture to ourselves.
11
We would like, of course, to move on.
12
There is something unbalanced and deeply cruel in the idea of the first 12 years determining the next 50.
13
We cannot change the past, but it does remain open to us to correct at least some of its repercussions.
14
We may learn to do this through a neglected and yet deeply powerful process we call re-parenting.
15
How our parents behaved will have laid down a template in our minds about how we should respond to challenges.
16
But we don't need to remain forever stuck with the kind of care which we imbibed in the early years.
17
We by nature have an ability to parent ourselves.
18
What this means is an ability to comfort ourselves at moments of difficulty, to interpret the troubles that beset us with imagination and kindness,
19
to encourage ourselves in the face of anxiety and loss, and to reassure the more fragile,
20
agitated parts of us by drawing upon our experience and our serene aspects.
21
All this is what good parents naturally do for their children.
22
But if this didn't happen to us, we can still, in adulthood, step in and do it for ourselves.
23
One part of the mind can speak to the other.
24
One part can act as the sane, resilient counterweight to the bruised and more immature side of the self.
25
We can figuratively put an arm around our own shoulder.
26
Our experience of the shortfalls of our own parents offer us an expertise
27
that is wasted if it stays stuck at the level of just criticism.
28
It should become the template for a far more useful project, the creation of an inner ideal parent,
29
who acts in all the ways in which the real thing should have done but didn't quite.
30
Knowing so much about what we did not have enables us to be experts at what we need
31
and should believe we can provide for ourselves.
32
We already have the perfect inner parent.
33
It's simply in many ways the opposite of the one we had.
34
Though childhood is a one-off event in material time, in psychological time it's endlessly recurring.
35
The eight-year-old us is still there, and we can talk to it and respond to it in a way
36
that allows it to mature and strengthen in the way it always should have done.
37
We can dare to make use of a much underestimated capacity – that of re-parenting ourselves.

你能学到什么
这个视频不仅能帮你理解"自我养育"的概念，还能提升英语口语的两大实用技能：一是如何用自然的节奏讲述抽象观点（比如谈论心理成长），二是在长句中准确传递情感色彩（比如描述过去经历时的遗憾与希望）。这些技能对雅思口语练习尤其有帮助，因为考试中常需要有条理地表达复杂想法。
注意这些发音现象
视频里有不少连读和弱读值得关注。比如"parented ourselves"中，"parented"的尾音/d/和"ourselves"的开头音/ɑː/连读，听起来像"parentedourselves"；"it went well"里的"it"弱读成/ɪt/，几乎一带而过。还有"re-parenting"的重音在"re"上，突出"重新"的含义。这些细节能让你的口语更接近母语者。
像母语者一样表达
模仿视频中的节奏和重音是关键。比如说到"we can still, in adulthood, step in and do it for ourselves"时，"still"和"step in"要稍加重音，强调"仍然可以采取行动"的决心；"comfort ourselves at moments of difficulty"中，"comfort"和"difficulty"的长元音要发饱满，传递出"安慰"的温暖感。你可以用shadowing site进行练习，跟着视频逐句跟读，感受"shadow speech"的魅力——通过模仿，逐渐掌握自然的语流。
记住，看视频学英语不仅是学单词，更是学如何用语言传递思想和情感。多练习这些细节，你的口语会越来越地道。
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。
