1
If you spell drawer backwards, you get a reward.
2
But if you spell repaid backwards, you get a diaper.
3
If a word doesn't change when its spelling is reversed, we call it a palindrome.
4
But if when reversed it becomes an entirely new word, it's not called a palindrome, it's called an ammordnolap.
5
And this is my ammordnolap palindrome machine.
6
When it comes to wordplay, I am an avid diva.
7
But I've never really been happy with my demonstrations of them.
8
They're always kind of messy.
9
For years, I've dreamt of a way to reverse physical letters with just one clear motion
10
that doesn't also flip the letters upside down.
11
Now my first idea was a kind of Ferris wheel with weighted letters that always hung right side up.
12
But I was not about to ride gravity's coattails on this one, not for something this personal.
13
So instead, I devised a toothed solution.
14
Notice that when connected like this, these larger gears all turn together.
15
Now that means that if I keep any one of them oriented how I want, the others will stay that way too.
16
I was getting close to finally realizing my dream of showing with a single simple flourish that,
17
for example, Margaret would be a beautiful name for a billion kilograms of mass.
18
The next problem was figuring out how to stick these magnetic letters on the plastic gears.
19
Glue, maybe tape?
20
Get real.
21
I want something that makes me say, wow.
22
I don't want the gears to get all sticky and messed up.
23
And I want easily switching letters to be a challenge that can be won now.
24
So I decided to use some magnets I found in a tube that said, don't touch.
25
They were so strong, they could stick on by just tugging each other across a gear.
26
But I needed clearance in the back for that to happen.
27
Luckily, a single double bushing was all it took.
28
Speaking of double, if you're expecting twins, why not give them a pair of names that are Amortenalaps?
29
Like Cassie and Isaac, Noelle and Leon, or Iris and Siri.
30
Oh, and also Harper Lee's first name, Nell, was given to her in backwards honor of her grandmother, whose name was Ellen.
31
When it was all done, I finally had a contraption that could demonstrate Amortenalaps that were as sweet as desserts without getting stressed.
32
I could also remind people that if a leveler does a bad job, they will be asked to re-level.
33
Ultimately I put 11 gears on my machine, which is enough to spell abophobia, the fear of palindromes.

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。
