1
Hey guys, I'm Professor Dave, and I want to tell you about chemistry.
2
What is chemistry?
3
Why should we know about it?
4
Chemistry is the study of what matter is made of and how it changes.
5
It's important to know because it describes everything around us, every material, almost every process.
6
If we truly want to understand how our bodies work, how diseases operate and how to cure them, which foods are nutritious and which are not, we must learn chemistry.
7
Unless you fundamentally understand molecules, all you can do is repeat things you've heard.
8
But how do you know if what you've heard is right?
9
If you know chemistry, you can compare what someone says to how you know that molecules behave.
10
If there is a glaring contradiction, you can easily reject false information, and you won't be taken advantage of for someone else's personal gain.
11
We should be able to think critically like this in every avenue of life, be it health, politics, or otherwise.
12
With this general chemistry series, I have two goals.
13
One is to help high school and undergraduate students taking their first chemistry course.
14
Please use these tutorials to supplement your lectures in any way that is helpful to you.
15
But because this is introductory material, and given that chemistry is the central science,
16
this general chemistry series is also meant for anyone who wants to learn science with no prior knowledge and for any reason.
17
I will break down concepts as simply as possible so that anyone can learn them.
18
There will be moments where we go over practice problems that are more geared towards students in a class.
19
But feel free to learn these too, because the predictive power of mathematics is what proves the legitimacy of our science.
20
If you are watching this clip and intend to view the entire series, please click on the general chemistry playlist on the Professor Dave homepage to view in the suggested order.
21
When we check our comprehension after a lesson, feel free to pause the clip so you have plenty of time to think before I tell you the answer.
22
If you need to watch a clip more than once to fully understand it, that's okay.
23
And if you have any questions about what you've learned, feel free to email me at ProfessorDaveExplains at gmail .com.
24
Enjoy your newfound knowledge.

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:

结构视频中的用法
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事you've heard · you've learned
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的is made · won't be taken · is also meant
定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物and which are · anyone who wants

需要注意的发音

说话人用了 5 次缩略和弱读形式,例如 you've, I'm, won't。请按听到的简短形式来说。

  • “sh” 和 “zh” 音: contradiction /ˌkɑːntɹəˈdɪkʃən/, nutritious /nuːˈtɹɪʃəs/, comprehension /ˌkɑmpɹɪˈhɛnʃn̩/
  • 长单词——注意重音位置: contradiction /ˌkɑːntɹəˈdɪkʃən/, introductory /ˌɪntɹəˈdʌktəɹi/, legitimacy /ləˈd͡ʒɪtɪməsi/, critically /ˈkɹɪt.ɪ.kə.li/

中文母语者容易读错的音:

  • /v/ — 不要读成 /w/,上齿轻触下唇: predictive /pɹɪˈdɪk.tɪv/, behave /bɪˈheɪv/
  • 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚,后面不要加元音: newfound /ˈnjuː.faʊnd/, nutritious /nuːˈtɹɪʃəs/, predictive /pɹɪˈdɪk.tɪv/, playlist /ˈpleɪˌlɪst/, pause /pɔːz/
  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: tutorial /ˌtjuːˈtɔːɹɪəl/, critically /ˈkɹɪt.ɪ.kə.li/

如何用这段视频练习

  1. 先完整听一遍视频,不要开口,记下不认识的单词。
  2. 先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟读,熟练之后再回到正常速度。
  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比,特别注意 molecule, contradiction, nutritious 这类单词。

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。
