So Dax did something really sweet.
2
He certainly did.
3
Well, one of the many sweet things he's done.
4
So I turned 31 this past summer.
5
And he said, I'm going to get you a present that no one else will ever get in their lifetime.
6
And I was confused and thought, OK.
7
So the day of my birthday, we're sitting in the living room.
8
And I hear a knock at the door.
9
And he says, your present's here.
10
Why don't you go grab the dogs and go in the back room?
11
And I had no context for knowing what it was.
12
But I grabbed the dogs, walk into the back room of the house, and I immediately was overcome, and I thought, there's a sloth near.
13
There's a sloth here, it's close, it's gonna happen.
14
And I didn't know how to process that
15
because my entire life had been waiting for this moment where I would get to interact,
16
I'm serious, with the sloth. And I...
17
First thing you should know about me, If I'm not between a 3 and a 7 on the emotional scale, I'm crying.
18
You're crying if it's...
19
Too sad.
20
I'm crying if I'm too excited.
21
Too happy.
22
Always.
23
So between 3 and 7 is you're fine.
24
It's a good zone.
25
And right now, I'm at, like, a 6, 9, 7, so we're lucky that I'm not crying right now because I'm excited to be here.
26
So I am sitting on my bed, knowing that a sloth is here.
27
Where are you now on the scale?
28
11. What?
29
I start to have a full -fledged panic attack.
30
I don't know how to compete with all this emotion, so I just kind of crawl up on the bed, and I'm crying so hard.
31
And Dax knocks on the door, and he has a video camera, and he's like, surprise, I want you to come on to the, are you all right?
32
And sees me basically fetal on the bed, and I am.
33
I think you brought a little footage of that.
34
It's embarrassing.
35
I cannot wait to see it.
36
It's worth watching.
37
Yes.
38
It's embarrassing.
39
So we can take a look.
40
Oh, there's a little slaw.
41
There one is.
42
All right, let's watch the, oh, no. I wasn't joking.
43
I was absolutely.
44
How did you guess that?
45
How did you guess that?
46
I don't know.
47
I don't know.
48
You're so sad that one's coming to your party.
49
I'm sorry.
50
Do you want to come be a part of setting up his little habitat?
51
He's coming for the party?
52
Oh, my God.
53
I was having a birthday party later that evening, and they had set up a little habitat of, like, it's essentially a jungle gym,
54
and he or she just hung out on the jungle gym for, like, three hours.
55
There she is.
56
Her name was Melon.
57
I mean, I needed to be sedated, clearly.
58
Let's bring out the cutest sloth.
59
No, you didn't.
60
No. I just wanted to see...
61
Oh, my God.
62
What?
63
My heart is beating so bad.
64
I know.
65
I'm so sorry.
66
I'm so sorry.
67
All right.
68
All right.
69
Oh, my gosh.
70
OK.
71
We're going to take a break.
72
Oh, why would you do that?
73
I know.

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。
