146
Get out!

So, we end up with people who are masters of competition, but strangers to unconditional love.
148
Competition leads to comparison, and comparison makes our choices purely rational and calculating.
149
But, love is not a performance metric.

167

I think a lot of people do, but somewhere along the way, those things stopped feeling like a dream and started feeling like a burden.
169

  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比，特别注意 collapse, disappear, collectivism 这类单词。

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。
