1
Just recently there was a story, and I know one of your attorneys held a news conference.
2
There was a story about you wanting to have a little white boy play you in a Pepsi commercial.
3
That is so stupid.
4
That's the most ridiculous, horrifying story I've ever heard.
5
It's crazy.
6
I mean, why?
7
Number one, it's my face as a child in the commercial, me when I was little.
8
Why would I want a white child to play me?
9
I'm a black American.
10
I'm proud to be a black American.
11
I am proud of my race.
12
I am proud of who I am.
13
I have a lot of pride in who I am and dignity.
14
That's like you wanted an oriental person to play you as a child.
15
Does that make sense?
16
No. So please, people, stop believing these horrifying stories.
17
Then let's go to the thing that is most discussed about you, I think, is the fact that the color of your skin is obviously different than it was when you were younger.
18
And so I think it has caused a great deal of speculation.
19
and controversy as to what you have done or are doing.
20
Are you bleaching your skin?
21
And is your skin lighter because you don't like being black?
22
Okay, number one, there, as I know of, there is no such thing as skin bleaching.
23
I have never seen it.
24
I don't know what it is.
25
Well, they used to have those products growing up.
26
I used to hear, always use bleach and glow, but you'd have to have about 300 ,000 gallons.
27
Okay, number one, this is the situation.
28
I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of the skin is something
29
that i cannot help okay but when people make up stories
30
that i don't want to be who i am it hurts me

你能学到什么

这段视频对话能帮助你提升两项关键口语技能:一是在情绪表达中保持语言逻辑的能力,迈克尔·杰克逊在澄清谣言时,既情绪激动又条理清晰,值得模仿;二是如何用简洁的问句和排比增强说服力,比如他用“为什么要找白人孩子扮演我?就像找东方人扮演你小时候一样,这合理吗?”这样的句式。这些技巧对雅思口语练习尤其有帮助,能让你在回答观点类问题时更有感染力。

注意这些发音现象

对话中存在不少连读和弱读现象,比如“stop believing”连读为“stop believin'”,“it is”弱读为“it's”。此外,“skin disorder”中的“skin”和“disorder”之间有明显的辅音连缀,需要注意发音的流畅性。这些连读和弱读技巧是英语影子跟读的重要练习点,掌握后能让你的发音更接近母语者。

像母语者一样表达

模仿迈克尔·杰克逊的节奏和重音关键在于抓住他的情绪起伏。比如在强调“我是美国黑人,我为自己的种族感到骄傲”时,“black American”和“proud”被重读,节奏也明显放缓,以突出坚定的态度。练习时可以使用“shadowspeak”方法,即边听边跟读,注意他的语气变化。另外,他在解释皮肤问题时,用“Okay, number one”“Well”等词来调整节奏,这也是雅思口语中常用的表达技巧,能让你的发言更自然。记住,用 makeup 来均匀肤色的表达“using makeup evens it out”中,“evens out”的重音在“evens”,要注意发音准确。通过这些细节的练习,你的英语发音和口语流畅度会显著提高。

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
“used to” used to + 动词 — 过去的习惯或状态,现在已不再如此used to have · used to hear
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事I've ever heard · has caused · have done

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。
