1
Over the last century, the way zoos have created their environments for the animals has changed dramatically.
2
As we developed and our knowledge of animal care developed,
3
making much more stimulating habitats for the animals,
4
enriching the environments became very, very important.
5
Now we are moving very much into creating habitats that still have that enriched environment for the animal,
6
but also the enriched environment for the visitor,
7
so that we have moved from commercial to medical and care to actually now it's very much about connection.
8
We are connecting people through our animals and through our animal's environments.
9
Animals bring the best out of people.
10
Zoos have a great way to bridge that.
11
Immersive exhibits have been done for some time in zoos
12
but what's different about Land of Lions is the link that we provide from the zoos to the wild.
13
It's been very very important to us to make that fundamental link
14
that ZSL is working with animals and caring for animals in the zoo
15
but also caring for animals in Gujarat and the stories that we put around
16
here in the zoo about lions are from India
17
and how close they live to people is vitally important in terms of the messaging
18
and indeed the conservation work that we are doing.
19
We understand our world for our five senses so from what we see,
20
what we touch, what we smell, what we taste.
21
And so the no-barrier design process is very much about cutting out all barriers.
22
So, for example here, we've got vertical cables.
23
So once you're standing face to face with the animal,
24
you don't see the barrier at all.
25
But also, you smell the animal,
26
you can feel that low bass rumble,
27
which is truly transformational as a human to another animal.
28
Traditionally, spaces have been given over to visitors and operations more so than animals,
29
but that's moving dramatically over towards the animals.
30
And by creating immersive environments that we have here,
31
by the nature of visitors being inside the spaces,
32
but in the very nature then the animals have more space and all those benefits that come from there.
33
But when you get that virtual circle of the humans,
34
the visitors and the animals absolutely enjoying the environments together and
35
that enjoyment may also be a little bit of terror as well because we are hardwired to fear and vice versa,
36
which is interesting.
37
It's not meant to be a sort of a walk in the park as it were.
38
If you come face to face with a lion,
39
something should happen to you and something should happen to the animal.
40
So again, those things are very much considered with the balance of space
41
but particularly in urban zoos where you have this almost limited defined space
42
that becomes really a you know a primary consideration at the
43
very start of any project the other thing of course is
44
that you see animals from different vantage points
45
and that's a different experience altogether I mean we love being
46
even two meters higher as humans you know we ground well so being just high
47
that spectacular which is why we always want to stand on our toes and look.
48
But the other important thing we've tried to do here is actually get visitors in actually shot.
49
So it's not just an animal theatre as it were,
50
you've got actually people you know behind the animal and in
51
that way it sets off a very very different experience
52
and then again it comes back to that you know we're in the animals world as opposed to vice versa.
53
We do spend a lot of time
54
designing an environment that is flexible because animal personalities they do certainly have personalities
55
but they change so the important thing in every environment
56
that we design is flexibility
57
so the animals can choose where they go they can choose
58
the different substrates they want to be on they can choose
59
which area they want to be on they can also choose whether they want to be on show
60
or not if they want to get away from the visitors they can do one of our main
61
learning outcomes was that the UK audience understand how closely people in Gujarat,
62
in the Giyah forest, live alongside lions.
63
You can wake up in the morning with a lion in your backyard.
64
You really can.
65
But people live alongside them.
66
That is huge lessons for us in the UK.
67
If people in India can live alongside lions,
68
surely we can live alongside badgers.
69
Surely we can live alongside hedgehogs and not destroy their habitats but promote it.
70
So working to live alongside animals in a cooperative way,
71
we've got lessons to learn from elsewhere.
72
The vital role that zoos play in conservation is now recognised by conservation bodies across the globe,
73
and it is essential.
74
We are organisations that care not just for lions and tigers,
75
but for the freshwater fish,
76
for the snails, for the species that sometimes get ignored.
77
But zoos have an immense role to play in just connecting people with nature.
78
that ability to evoke emotions that people who might come to the zoo for a day out,
79
they leave just loving animals a little bit more.
80
And that is a huge,
81
huge role, especially when most of our zoos are in urban environments.

为什么通过这个视频练习口语？
观看并模仿这段视频可以帮助你在真实语境中提高英语口语能力。视频展示了人与动物之间的深厚联系，让你在交流中引入生动的例子和情感。当你练习英语影子跟读时，不仅仅是重复单词，而是感受说话的节奏和语调，这样能帮助你更好地掌握英语口语练习。透过模仿视频中的对话，你能够在实际交流中更加自信。
语法和表达在语境中的应用
视频中使用了多种重要的语法结构和表达方式，以下是其中几个关键内容：
- 现在进行时：如“动物们正在享受环境”，帮助营造现场感，表达目前正在进行的动作。
- 被动语态：使用“动物被照顾”这样的句子，强调动作的接受者，表现出关怀的语气。
- 情态动词：在描述可能性时使用，如“应该发生”，既表达了期待又传达了紧迫感。
- 描述性语言：例如“低频的轰鸣声”，通过生动的描述增强情感共鸣和场景代入感。
通过理解和运用这些结构，你可以在自己的英语口语练习中提升表达的清晰度和自然流畅性。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，有一些单词的发音可能对学习者构成挑战：
- “environment”：这个词的重音在第二个音节，很多学习者可能会忽略。
- “connection”：需要注意两个音节的连接，避免发成“con-nect-tion”。
- “immersive” ：此词的发音需要强调首音节，这对于提高英语发音非常重要。
通过频繁地进行英语影子跟读，尤其是模仿视频中的发音，你将能够克服这些发音障碍，逐渐提高自己的发音水平。多加练习，结合你自己的英语口语练习，这将使你的交流更加自然流畅。
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。
