One of the most remote of all lies 2,500 kilometres west of Cape Town in the centre of the South Atlantic.

The only way to get there is by boat,

across some of the roughest waters on the planet.
5
We're now about five miles from Tristandakuna.

Any minute now, hopefully, it's going to appear through that mist.
7

It definitely feels like I'm a long way from anywhere.

Tristan is the tip of a volcano thrust up from the ocean floor over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle.

It might look inhospitable, but far from it.
15
There is a village here,
16
Edinburgh of the Seven Seas,
17
with all the comforts of life.
18
Just 270 people live here.
19
But what is life really like here,
20
in the world's most remote village?
21
The best way to find out is to ask someone who has lived here his whole life.
22
Harold Green.
23
Good morning.
24
Good morning.
25
Nice to see you.
26
Thank you.
27
Is it very good to see you?
28
Yeah, sure.
29
You're welcome.
30
Thank you very much.
31
Thanks.
32
And what's it like living in such a small community?

Well, it's a nice life, we are.
34
Everyone on the Harlem, we call them brothers and sisters.
35
We hack as a big family.
36
We share and share alike.
37
If they kill a hoxon,
38
they always realize that they give everybody some piece of beef or mutton or fish, fish, anything.
39
And if anyone get in trouble say a roof,
40
go for a house or they are there to help you.
41
The minister is there for the help.
42
And you can let the children go anywhere around us.
43
Anywhere, I mean anywhere.

Well we don't bolt a door or lock a door.
45

46
We leave our windows open on Friday's,
47
we leave our doors open.
48
There's no locks at all.
49
Harold mentioned potato patches.
50
That's about a mile down the road.
51
The only road.
52
And of course, there's a bus.
53
The potato patches are the island's farm.
54
Every family owns several fields to grow potatoes and other vegetables.
55
But, as Harold pointed out,
56
this is really one big family,
57
and everyone helps out when there's work to be done.
58
The islanders also keep cows,
59
sheep, ducks and chickens, but numbers of livestock have are strictly controlled to prevent overgrazing of the island's limited pasture.
60
It really feels like a beautiful old fishing and farming village.
61
Obviously a working village.
62
And really it seems to me
63
that it could just be a piece of England cut out and thrown down in the middle of the South Atlantic.
64
Except, of course, for the volcano.
65
And that volcano is still active.
66
It erupted in 1961 and came close to destroying the village.
67
Lava flowed out onto the coastal plain and climbing above it shows how close it came to Edinburgh before it stopped.
68
Just a few tens of metres.
69
It was a terrifying experience for the islanders.
70
Do you also remember the volcano erupting?
71
Yes, it erupts in October.
72
And what was it like during the eruption,
73
when the volcano was erupting just down the road?
74
And you saw like a 20-day beat shake like that, at any rate.
75
And it shake so much,
76
it start the volcano start to open.
77
There was nowhere to retreat to on the island.
78
The only solution was to evacuate the islanders to safety.
79
We went to Cape Town first and then on the Starring Castle,
80
we went back to England and they took us to the coaches.
81
First time we ride in a coach or a car,
82
no matter what, we only ride in donkeys or trust in them.
83
So what was your time like while you were in England,
84
while the volcano erupted?

The British people, I will say once and I'll say again,
86
you wouldn't wish for better people to live with.

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。
