1
Less than 347, Carnival.
2
Clayann talks about the big tradition of Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago.
3
Listen to the end for bonus study materials.
4
Now, let's begin.
5
So, Clay -Ann, can you talk a little bit about Carnival in your country?
6
Actually, Carnival in my country started a very long time ago, after the end of slavery.
7
And now it has kind of changed a lot into a big festival.
8
where everybody basically dances in the street wearing very little clothes, very colorful costumes listening to music.
9
It lasts for two days.
10
It's called Carnival Monday and Tuesday.
11
And for those two days, that's when we have the big parades in the street, with big costumes, small costumes, and a lot of music.
12
The days leading up to Carnival may actually be more important.
13
than the two days of Carnival themselves,
14
because that's when we have a lot of concerts and competitions for calypsonians and Calypstonians.
15
Uh...
16
people who sing Calypso, which is music that's native to Trinidad and Tobago.
17
and We have a lot of steel band festivals and steel bands are like big musical bands who play the steel drums.
18
which were invented in Trinidad and Tobago.
19
So this is a national holiday everything is closed down for at least a week.
20
A week?
21
Yeah, even before before Carnival Monday and Tuesday.
22
It's closed from the Wednesday of the week before.
23
So Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
24
And then everybody goes right back to work?
25
On the following Wednesday is Ash Wednesday.
26
It started I think as a kind of a religious festival.
27
I've seen examples of it all over the world including Europe.
28
And actually it started from the Catholic Church.
29
So on Ash Wednesday, people are supposed to go to church and confess their sins and get ashes.
30
And I can assume that we probably have a lot to confess after Carnival Monday and Tuesday.
31
So is it usually pretty much the same thing every year or does it change a little bit?
32
It always changes because it's not government run.
33
The carnival bands, that means the bands of people who parade the streets in different costumes, they're actually competing with each other to get a lot of people.
34
to win the band of the year and their judge on their costumes.
35
So we have private owners of bands who design different costumes every year with different themes.
36
And they have to portray these themes on the street.
37
And the aim is to win.
38
the competition for band of the year and every year the costumes are different - Actually,
39
Carnival is launched from the year before.
40
So I think this year Carnival will be launched somewhere in...
41
Actually, I think they already launched it last month, July.
42
and so from july you're going to see all the bands um coming out with their
43
costumes on display for people to decide which band they want to play in, which costumes they would like to use.
44
artists start to release their sing their Calypso singles because there's all there's also competition for best calypso and Um...
45
and other different types of music.
46
which are not as big as calypso music in Trinidad and Tobago.
47
Welcome back.

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 |
|---|---|
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的 | were invented · is closed · is launched |
| 定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物 | people who sing · people who parade |
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。
