跟读练习: Kiva Systems Warehouse Automation at Quiet Logistics - 通过视频学习英语口语
正在创建课程...
1
This is video shot in our Northeast Quiet Center in Andover, Massachusetts, where we work six days a week across two shifts,
2
often flexing to accommodate fluctuations in volume across any given week.
3
This is our Kiva operation.
4
You'll notice against the back wall are the dock doors and then proximate to the dock doors are the Kiva workstations.
5
For any given Kiva workstation we can perform both outbound pick-pack functions as well as inbound replenishment functions
6
and it's terribly important to have that kind of flexibility.
7
People often ask how the robots know where to go.
8
You'll notice on the floor there are two by two stickers that actually act as a guide for the robots, creating a map of the warehouse.
9
One of the things
10
that we really appreciate about Kiva is the ability to handle all different types of product across common infrastructure.
11
We handle everything from guitar picks and jewelry to garment on hanger, different types of home goods,
12
shoes, and again it's all done across a common infrastructure which is incredibly important for us from a capital perspective.
13
Okay, for order picking.
14
The orders drop into the station when the worker signs on to pick.
15
And at that point the system sends bots out to find all of the pods
16
that contain all of the items he needs to fill the orders he's working on.
17
The pods come by in a continuous so the worker is never starved.
18
Here you can see a laser points at the bin of items to pick.
19
He picks it, scans it, and a light lights up on the station indicating where to place the item.
20
He's picking multiple items for multiple orders at the same time.
21
Each of those cubbies is for an order.
22
In many Keeve installations, pickers pick directly into the shipping carton, so this setup is not exactly typical, but it works for Quiet's order profiles.
23
Here he's picking a Garmin on hanger for an order.
24
The process is the same whether he's picking t-shirts from cut cases, guitar picks from drawers or in this case a designer garment on hanger.
25
This is a multi-use station that she's using for picking.
26
There's a good view of the station's screen which is giving her pick instructions along with a description and quantity.
27
Behind the stations is where the pack process takes place.
28
For many Kiva customers the pick and pack process are one step
29
but at quiet the high-end packing required us to split the process.
30
As we've mentioned, many of our customers have high-end packaging requirements.
31
We work a lot with branded boxes like these cake boxes.
32
We'll also do things like add tissue paper or stickers, as you can see in this outbound Bonobos order.
33
We deal a lot with fragile items and take steps to ensure proper
34
and safe delivery through any of the parcel carrier services.
35
Once an order is packed, we'll add a logoed packing list and put a logoed ship label on the box.
36
It will then be taken over to be taped
37
and organized to be loaded onto a parcel carrier truck for delivery to the customer.
为什么要和这个视频练习口语？
本视频展示了Kiva系统在仓库自动化中的应用，提供了一个极佳的口语练习背景。通过观看和模拟这些场景，学习者可以在真实的工作环境中提高英语口语表达能力。参与者在视频中不仅可以听到标准的英语发音，还能感受到在高压环境下如何清晰地表达想法。英语影子跟读（shadowspeak）能够帮助您在个别场合中练习，同时提高您的听力和口语流利度。
语法和表达在情境中的应用
- 复杂句结构：视频中常用复杂句来说明流程，比如“对于任何给定的Kiva工作站，我们可以同时执行出库和补货功能。”这种句型有助于提升您的语言表达能力。
- 动词时态：使用现在进行时和将来时，表达机器人如何工作的实时及预测。例如“机器人会寻找包含所需物品的货架。”这样能够帮助学习者理解如何使用时态来描绘动态场景。
- 功能性表达：短语如“添加商标运单”和“放置物品”的使用，展示了具体操作。这种表达在工作环境中尤为重要，使学习者掌握相关术语。
常见发音陷阱
视频中一些词汇的发音可能对学习者构成挑战。例如，“replenishment”这个词的正确发音和重音位置可能会被忽视。还有“logistics”和“packing list”这样的词，快速而清晰地发音对交流至关重要。通过影子跟读（shadow speech）练习，您可以掌握这些词汇的发音以及语调，提高您在真实对话中的自信心。特别是在处理客户订单时，简洁而准确的表达会使交流更为顺畅。
在学习的过程中，不妨在观看视频的同时模仿发音，进行有声的口语练习，以此深入理解语境的运用与表达，促进您的语言能力提升。不论是在工作场合还是日常生活中，精准的沟通都将大大受益。记得使用shadowspeaks技巧，帮助您在不同语境中自如应对。
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。
