正在创建课程...
1
In my work, I specialize in strivers, really hardworking people, ambitious people.
2
These are the people who want to do a lot with their lives.
3
They want to take a bite out of life.
4
I mean, I've worked with musicians that are barely getting by, but they really have this sense of calling.
5
I've worked with business people who are doing really well, even though they're not really satisfied with what they're doing.
6
What all strivers I've ever met have in common is that the higher they climb and the more success that they have,
7
the more insecure they feel in their own success because they're not quite sure that they've earned it or deserve it.
8
That's called imposter syndrome, of course.
9
It's completely natural.
10
It only really doesn't happen to one group that I've found, the people who really are impostors.
11
One of the great ironies I've found is
12
that people who deserve success through hard work and merit and personal responsibility are not quite sure they deserve it,
13
and the people who don't deserve it are often the people who actually are most sure that they do.
14
In my work, if I find somebody who's extremely successful and who doesn't feel like an imposter, that makes my antenna kind of tingle.
15
My spider sense is on edge, because I think I might have something that in my profession we call a dark triad.
16
Dark triads in business or in personal life are people who are above average in three characteristics.
17
Narcissism, it's all about me.
18
Machiavellianism, I'm willing to do what it takes including hurting you to get my way.
19
And psychopathy, to be psychopathic, which is to say I'm going to hurt you and feel no remorse.
20
You might think that's super rare.
21
It's not.
22
One in 14 people in the population is above average on those three characteristics.
23
Dark triads are 7% of the population.
24
You know them.
25
They've broken your heart, they've been disloyal to you, they've taken credit for your work, they've made life miserable, and you try to avoid them.
26
Here's the truth.
27
If you're doing really well in your career and you're being rewarded for it, and you're a good, normal,
28
healthy person, you're gonna sorta wonder, is this earned?
29
Do I really deserve it?
30
Am I up to this task?
31
What you're doing here as a healthy person is
32
that you know what you're good at and you know what you're not good at.
33
Well guess what the world sees.
34
What you're good at, that's why you're getting ahead.
35
What do they not see?
36
The things that only you see, which is what you're trying to get better at.
37
You have full visibility.
38
You're looking at the entire landscape.
39
The rest of the world is not.
40
They're looking at the ways that you're creating value.
41
You're looking at the ways that you can't create value yet, and you tend to focus because of what psychologists call negativity bias and what you don't have, as opposed to what you have.
42
When you focus as a striving, hardworking, ambitious, and upwardly immobile person on what you don't have, you're gonna feel like an imposter.
43
That's just the way it is, unless you're a dark triad.
44
So what do you do if you have imposter syndrome?
45
The answer is to understand it, keep up to date with it, and keep trying to get better at the things that you're not good at yet.
46
This is an opportunity, it's for growth, for becoming the person that you truly wanna be.
47
Even if other people overestimate how awesome you are, which of course they do, right?
48
You don't have to, and you can focus on the ways that you can actually become better.
49
If you feel imposter syndrome, that's great.
50
That means all kinds of good things about you, but don't miss the opportunity.
51
Don't miss the opportunity to focus on the ways that you actually can get better and keep striving more for it.
52
Lean into the imposter syndrome without giving into it.
53
Lean in without giving in.
54
When you're an accomplished professional and you're upwardly mobile and you're being successful, what that means is that people are focusing more on your strengths than your weaknesses
55
and it also says you have more manifest strengths than you do weaknesses.
56
Now, if things are going in the wrong direction, you're getting a whole lot of bad press and you're on your way down, it means people are paying more attention to your weaknesses than your strengths.
57
And it might be that your weaknesses are a bigger deal than your strengths.
58
The truth is, if things are really, really rough for you, you're not all weaknesses.
59
And if things are going really well for you, you're not all strengths.
60
Here's the problem if you're a well-adjusted person with a modicum of humility.
61
You're going to feel like a loser when everybody else sees you as a winner.
62
But rest assured that when things are going well for you, that means that people are more focused on your strengths than they are on your weaknesses.
63
Don't focus more on your weaknesses than your strengths, but recognize them because that's your opportunity for growth and change and improvement.
真实场景：职场中的" impostor syndrome "困境
视频中，专家分享了一个普遍现象：那些努力上进、取得成就的人，越成功越容易怀疑自己"是否配得上"，这就是" impostor syndrome "（ impostor 意为"冒名顶替者"）。相反，真正的"伪君子"却往往自信满满。这种矛盾场景在职场、学业中随处可见，比如你升职后担心自己能力不足，或完成项目后觉得"只是运气好"。理解这个场景，能帮你更好应对成长中的心态挑战。
实用表达与搭配
- take a bite out of life：尽情享受生活（原句指"想要精彩地生活"）
- lean into：直面、接纳（如" lean into the imposter syndrome "即"接纳 impostor 心态"）
- dark triad：黑暗三联征（指自恋、马基雅维利主义、精神病态三种特质）
- negativity bias：消极偏见（心理学概念，指更关注不足而非优势）
- striving, hard-working, ambitious：努力、勤奋、有野心（三个形容词精准描述"上进者"）
这些表达不仅适用于雅思口语练习，还能丰富日常对话的深度。
影子跟读挑战：现在就行动！
影子跟读（ shadow speech ）是提升口语的高效方法。打开视频，找到" What you're doing here... creating value "这段（约30秒），跟着做以下步骤：
1. 先听3遍，注意语调起伏和重音（如" full visibility "要重读）；
2. 逐句跟读，尽量同步，模仿语速和节奏；
3. 录音对比，检查是否跟上" the entire landscape "等长词组。
坚持5分钟，你会发现口语流畅度明显提升！若想系统练习，可搜索" shadowing site "找到合适资源。记住，英语影子跟读的关键是"边听边说"，别怕出错，这是进步的开始。
接纳 impostor 心态，用影子跟读突破口语瓶颈，你会离更优秀的自己更近一步！
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。
