1
Today, you will hear part of a lecture about land diving in Vanuatu.
2
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 10.
3
Thank you.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 10.
5
but it is still quite unbelievable to see it in person.
6
For those who are not aware of it, I would like to give you a basic introduction.
7
The practice involves the native people tying vines around their ankles and jumping off platforms in a way similar to bungee jumping.
8
In fact, it is said to have been the original inspiration for bungee jumping.
9
You might first wonder who the participants are in this ceremony.
10
Well, only men can take part, whereas women are not allowed to participate,
11
despite the fact that the legend from which the ceremony originates names a woman as the original diver.
12
Boys can begin to participate around the ages of seven or eight as a rite of passage or initiation.
13
However, other children are not included.
14
The ceremonies are held each year during the dry season between April and June.
15
This is for two reasons.
16
Firstly, lianus, the vines which are used in the ceremony, are at their most elastic during this period.
17
Secondly, the ceremony is said to celebrate and bring blessings on the annual yam harvest, and it is a great attraction for the villagers,
18
with everyone attending to sing, dance, and encourage the bravery of the divers.
19
The ceremony is also said to bring personal benefits to the divers, such as increasing the masculinity and strength of the man.
20
Taking part is considered a kind of cleansing for the man.
21
Now I would like to provide you with some details about land diving.
22
Well, the preparation of the towers is a major event for the village, and many men in the village prepare them for the ceremony in preceding weeks.
23
The tower and platforms are built.
24
Additionally, the soil is worked over to ensure it is moistened and raked to make it softer.
25
If the soil is too dry, the diver will be injured when he touches the ground.
26
You might wonder how the jumpers protect themselves from injury.
27
During a dive, the diver tucks his head in.
28
The optimal outcome is that the shoulders of the diver brush the ground.
29
but this depends on the selection of the individual vine, which is chosen to suit each diver's height and weight, but without any scientific measurements.
30
While it is impossible to eliminate every danger, such as the danger of hitting the ground or the tower itself,
31
it is considered important if the length of the vine is incorrect.
32
Obstacles such as rocks will need to be removed.
33
Usually around 15 to 25 men from each village will participate in the annual diving ceremony.
34
Since their age and experience vary, they will dive from towers of various elevations.
35
The lowest may be around 10 meters, while the highest may be over 30 meters.
36
The boards, set at the various heights, are designed to break as the diver reaches the end of his dive, absorbing some of the impact.
37
The Vanuatu Tourism Council encourages widespread reports about the ceremonies in the international media to boost tourism,
38
which in turn supports the local economy and charity programs.
39
Many of the local villages allow tourists to visit during their ceremonies as it allows them to earn money.
40
However, this practice is controversial as some feel that it may have negative effects on the integrity and authenticity of the ceremony.
41
For the same reason, commercial filming of important ceremonies has been underbanned for more than 10 years.
42
Only films for educational purposes are allowed.
43
Now, let's begin to...
44
That is the end of today's practice.
45
Thank you you
46
Thank you.
47
Thank you.
48
Thank you.
49
Thank you.

练习提示

在练习过程中，您可以使用英语影子跟读的技巧，以帮助提高您的听力和口语能力。以下是一些具体的建议：

  • 选择适合的段落，注意其节奏和语调。尝试与讲者的语音重合，不仅要关注词汇，还要注重情感和语气。
  • 视频的速度适中，您可以根据每句话的结束点进行跟读，确保语速与讲者相匹配。
  • 在反复练习时，尝试不同的声音和语调，帮助您更自然地表达。可以多次回听，尤其关注那些您觉得困难的部分。
  • 利用shadowspeaks和shadow speech的技巧，结合身体语言来增强口语表达。
  • 持续反复地练习，直到能流畅表达，最终实现您的英语口语目标。

通过以上练习，您将能更自信地使用英语，同时丰富您的语言表达方式。

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。
