1
Mr. Harris liked trains.
2
He was afraid of airplanes and didn't like buses.
3
But trains, they were big and noisy and exciting.
4
When he was a boy of 10, he liked trains.
5
Now he was a man of 50, and he still liked trains.
6
So he was a happy man on the night of the 14th of September.
7
He was on the night train from Helsinki to Ulu in Finland, and he had 10 hours in front of him.
8
I've got a book and my newspaper, he thought.
9
And there's a good restaurant on the train.
10
And then I've got two weeks holiday with my Finnish friends in Ulu.
11
There weren't many people on the train, and nobody came into Mr. Harris's carriage.
12
He was happy about that.
13
Most people on the train slept through the night, but Mr. Harris liked to look out of the window and to read and think.
14
After dinner in the restaurant Mr. Harris came back to his carriage and sat in his seat next to the window.
15
For an hour or two he watched the trees and lakes of Finland out of the window.
16
Then it began to get dark, so he opened his book and began to read.
17
At midnight the train stopped at the small station of Otava.
18
Mr. Harris looked out of the window, but he saw nobody.
19
The train moved away from the station into the black night again.
20
Then the door of Mr. Harris' carriage opened and two people came in.
21
A young man and a young woman The young woman was angry She closed the door and shouted at the man,
22
Carl You can't do this to me The young man laughed loudly and sat down Mr. Harris was a small,
23
quiet man He wore quiet clothes and he had a quiet voice He did not like noisy people and loud voices.
24
So he was not pleased.
25
Young people are always noisy, he thought.
26
Why can't they talk quietly?
27
He put his book down and closed his eyes.
28
But he could not sleep because the two young people didn't stop talking.
29
The young woman sat down and said in a quieter voice, Carl, you're my brother and I love you, but please listen to me.
30
You can't take my diamond necklace.
31
Give it back to me now.
32
Please.
33
Carl smiled.
34
No, Elena, he said.
35
I'm going back to Russia soon and I'm taking your diamonds with me.
36
He took off his hat and put it on the seat.
37
Elena, listen.
38
You have a rich husband, but I have no money.
39
I have nothing.
40
How can I live without money?
41
You can't give me money, so I need your diamonds, little sister.
42
Mr. Harris looked at the young woman.
43
She was small with black hair and dark eyes.
44
Her face was white and afraid.
45
Mr. Harris began to feel sorry for Elena.
46
She and her brother didn't look at him once.
47
Can't they see me?
48
He thought.
49
Carl, Elena said.
50
Her voice was very quiet now, and Mr. Harris listened carefully.
51
You came to dinner at our house tonight, and you went to my room and took my diamond necklace.
52
How could you do that to me?
53
My husband gave the diamonds to me.
54
They were his mother's diamonds before that.
55
He's going to be very, very angry, and I'm afraid of him.
56
Her brother laughed.
57
He put his hand in his pocket, then took it out again and opened it slowly.
58
The diamond necklace in his hand was very beautiful.
59
Mr. Harris stared at it.
60
For a minute or two nobody moved and it was quiet in the carriage.
61
There was only the noise of the train and it went quickly on through the dark cold night.
62
Mr. Harris opened his book again, but he didn't read it.
63
He watched Carl's face with its hungry eyes and its cold smile.
64
What beautiful, beautiful diamonds.
65
Carl said, I can get a lot of money for these.
66
Give them back to me, Carl, Elena whispered whispered, my husband's going to kill me.
67
You're my brother.
68
Please help me.
69
Please.
70
Carl laughed again and Mr. Harris wanted to hit him.
71
Go home, little sister Carl said.
72
I'm not going to give the diamonds back to you.
73
Go home to your angry husband.
74
Suddenly there was a knife in the young woman's hand.
75
A long, bright knife.
76
Mr. Harris watched with his mouth open.
77
He couldn't speak or move.
78
Give the diamonds back to me.
79
Elena cried.
80
Or I'm going to kill you.
81
Her hand on the knife was white.
82
Carl laughed and laughed.
83
What a sister, he said.
84
What a kind, sweet sister.
85
No, they're my diamonds now.
86
Put your knife away, little sister.
87
But the knife in the white hand moved quickly, up, then down.
88
There was a long, terrible cry, and Carl's body fell slowly onto the seat.
89
The color of the seat began to change to red and the diamond necklace fell from Carl's hand onto the floor.
90
Elena's face was white.
91
Oh no, she whispered.
92
Carl!
93
Come back, come back!
94
I didn't want to kill you.
95
But Carl didn't answer and the red blood ran slowly over the floor.
96
Elena put her head in her hands and again in the carriage there was a long, terrible cry.
97
Mr. Harris's face was white too.
98
He opened his mouth but he couldn't speak.
99
He stood up and carefully moved to the door.
100
The young woman was quiet now.
101
She didn't move or look up at Mr. Harris.
102
In the corridor, Mr. Harris ran.
103
The guard was at the hack of the train and Mr. Harris got there in half a minute.
104
Quickly, Mr. Harris said.
105
Come quickly.
106
An accident, a young woman, oh dear.
107
Her brother is, is dead.
108
The guard ran with Mr. Harris back to the carriage
109
Mr. Harris opened the door
110
and they went inside There was no dead body of a young man There was no young woman,
111
no blood, no knife, no diamond necklace
112
Only Mr. Harris's bags and his hat and coat The guard looked at Mr. Harris and Mr. Harris looked at him But?
113
Mr. Harris began But they were here I saw them She,
114
the young woman She had a knife and she,
115
she killed her brother A knife, you say? the guard asked Yes,
116
Mr. Harris said quickly A long knife, and her brother took her diamonds so she.
117
Ah.
118
Diamonds, the guard said.
119
Was the young woman's name Elena?
120
He asked.
121
Yes, it was.
122
Mr. Harris said.
123
How do you know that? Do you?
124
Do you know her?
125
Yes and no, the guard said slowly.
126
He thought for a minute, then looked at Mr. Harris.
127
Elena D.
128
Serinelli, he said.
129
She had dark eyes and black hair.
130
Very beautiful.
131
She was half Italian, half Finnish.
132
Her brother was a half-brother.
133
They had the same father, but his mother was Russian, I think. Was? Had?
134
Mr. Harris stared at the guard. But she.
135
Elena.
136
She's alive. And where is she?
137
Oh no, said the guard.
138
Elena D.
139
Serenelli died about 80 years ago.
140
After she killed her brother with a knife, she jumped off the train and died at once.
141
It was near here, I think.
142
He looked out of the window into the night.
143
Mr. Harris's face was very white again.
144
Eighty years ago, he whispered.
145
What are you saying?
146
Where's she and her brother? But I saw them.
147
Yes, that's right, the guard said.
148
You saw them, but they're not alive.
149
They're ghosts.
150
They often come on the night train at this time in September.
151
I never see them, but somebody saw them last year.
152
A man and his wife.
153
They were very unhappy about it.
154
But what can I do?
155
I can't stop Elena and Carl coming on the train.
156
The guard looked at Mr. Harris's white face.
157
You need a drink, he said.
158
Come and have a vodka with me.
159
Mr. Harris didn't usually drink vodka, but he felt afraid.
160
When he closed his eyes, he could see again Elena's long knife and could hear her terrible cry.
161
So he went with the guard to the back of the train.
162
After the vodka, Mr. Harris felt better.
163
He didn't want to sleep, and the guard was happy to talk walk.
164
So Mr. Harris stayed with the guard and didn't go back to his carriage.
165
Yes, the guard said, it's a famous story.
166
I don't remember it all.
167
It happened a long time ago, of course.
168
Elena's father was a famous man here in Finland.
169
He was very rich once, but he had three or four wives and about eight children.
170
And he liked the good things of life.
171
So there wasn't much money for the children.
172
Carl, the oldest son, was a bad man, people say.
173
He wanted an easy life and money in his hand all the time.
174
The train hurried on to Ulu through the black night and the guard drank some more vodka.
175
Now, Elena, he said.
176
She didn't have an easy life with those three difficult men, her father, her brother, her husband.
177
One year she visited her mother's family in Italy, and there she met her husband, Di Serenelli.
178
He was rich, but he wasn't a kind man.
179
They came back to Finland, and Carl often visited their house.
180
He wanted money from his sister's rich husband.
181
Elena loved her brother and gave him some money.
182
UTD Serenelli didn't like Carl and was angry with Elena.
183
He stopped giving her money and after that.
184
Well, you know the story now.
185
Yes, Mr. Harris said.
186
Poor, unhappy Elena.
187
Mr. Harris stayed with his friends in Ulu for two weeks.
188
They were quiet weeks and Mr. Harris had a good holiday.
189
But he took the bus back to Helsinki.
190
The bus was slow and there were a lot of people on it but Mr. Harris was very happy.
191
He didn't want to take the night train across Finland again.

为何用这个视频练习口语？
该视频通过故事形式呈现日常对话，非常适合shadow speech（影子跟读）练习。故事中的场景的（如火车旅行、兄妹对话）贴近生活，能帮助学习者熟悉真实口语情境，提升雅思口语练习或日常英语口语练习的实用性。对话节奏适中，语言简单易懂，既适合基础学习者积累表达，也能让进阶者磨练语调与流畅度。
语境中的语法与表达
视频对话包含多个实用语法点，值得重点学习：
- 过去进行时：如“He was on the night train from Helsinki to Ulu”，用于描述过去某一时刻正在进行的动作，增强叙事的画面感。
- 直接引语：“Carl, you're my brother and I love you”，通过人物对话展现情感与冲突，是口语中表达观点的常用方式。
- 情态动词表请求：“Can't you give me money?” 用“can't”表达委婉请求，比直接提问更自然，适合雅思口语练习中的交流场景。
常见发音陷阱
视频中的部分单词发音需特别注意：
- Finland：注意“F”的清辅音发音，避免与“V”混淆；“land”的尾音轻读，不要发成“烂的”。
- diamond：重音在第一个音节“di”，第二个音节“a”发短音，避免读成“戴蒙德”。
- necklace：“ck”发清辅音，“lace”的“ce”发“s”音，整体读作“neck-lis”，而非“neck-蕾丝”。
练习时可采用shadow speak方法，逐句跟读模仿语调与节奏，尤其注意人物对话中的情绪变化（如Elena的害怕与Carl的强硬），提升口语的感染力。
视频中的语法
说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：
| 结构 | 视频中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 动词 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 后接 -ing 形式的动词 | stop talking · stopped giving |
| “going to” 表将来 be going to + 动词 — 计划或明显即将发生的事 | He's going to be · husband's going to kill · I'm not going to give |
| 现在进行时 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在发生的事 | I'm going · are you saying |
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。
