跟读练习: PCB Assembly: Low Volume vs. High Volume - 通过视频学习英语口语

正在创建课程...
1
One of the first questions to ask when evaluating a PCB assembly contract manufacturer is can they handle the expected production volume?
2
To answer that, we first have to understand what we mean by low, mid, and high volumes.
3
For this video, we'll leave aside very high -volume consumer electronics,
4
and consider more typical volumes done by US -based contract manufacturers like Z -Axis.
5
Buyers of SMT printed circuit boards often consider volume in terms of boards per year, but that doesn't tell us what we need to know.
6
A contract manufacturer thinks in terms of numbers of parts to be placed.
7
This is
8
because the speed of the SMT pick -and -place machines is
9
generally the limiting factor in how fast a job can be completed.
10
Consider this example.
11
For this job, we need to produce 50 boards.
12
For this job, we need to produce 1 ,000.
13
Which is higher volume?
14
This board has 1 ,800 parts, so that's a total of 90 ,000 parts in the job.
15
This one has 40 parts per board for a total of 40 ,000 parts.
16
We'd consider it to be a lower volume job even though it's 20 times more boards.
17
One reason the number of boards doesn't give you the true picture of volume is panelization.
18
For most PCB assemblies, the layout designer fits multiple boards in an array on a single substrate or panel.
19
The entire panel is populated at once, and then depaneled into individual boards.
20
So to produce 10 ,000 small boards, which sounds like a lot, we may need just 100 panels.
21
But again, what really matters is the total number of parts in the job job.
22
Now that we have a better understanding of volume, let's look at what a contract manufacturer needs in order to do low, mid, and high volumes in one factory.
23
First, you need SMT lines designed for both speed and flexibility.
24
These machines pick and place up to 45 ,000 parts per hour to complete high volume jobs fast, and are designed for fast changeover between jobs,
25
so you can do many different lower volume jobs in a week.
26
A contract manufacturer may also have a semi -automated line for lower -volume jobs, as well as new products.
27
For work other than SMT assembly, we may use manual processes for low volumes and switch to robotic systems for higher volumes.
28
For example, this robotic dispensing system for box builds.
29
For IC programming, we can process a low volume by hand or use a robotic system for higher volumes.
30
For through -hole PCB assembly and some mixed technology boards, the wave solder can handle any volume.
31
For mixed technology boards that can't be wave soldered, we can do hand soldering for low volumes or robotic soldering for higher volumes.

本课的词汇与口语要点

这节口语课以视频“PCB Assembly: Low Volume vs. High Volume”为素材。 视频中反复出现的词有:volume, board, parts, contract, manufacturer。 这段视频共有 32 个句子、471 个单词可供跟读。 讲话部分时长为 3:00。 说话人语速自然,每分钟约 157 个词,接近日常对话。 82% 的单词属于英语最常用的 3,000 词,其余的词建议在练习前先学一下。

视频中的重点词汇

视频中 10 个值得学习的单词,附发音和释义:

单词发音释义
manufacturer 名词/ˌmænjʊˈfæktʃəɹə/製作者 /制作者, 製造者 /制造者
designer 名词/dɪˈzaɪnɚ/設計師 /设计师, 設計家 /设计家
manual 名词/ˈmæn.j(u)əl/手冊 /手册
electronics 名词/ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɑ.nɪks/電子學 /电子学
layout 名词/ˈleɪ.aʊt/設計 /设计, 佈局 /布局
buyer 名词/ˈbaɪ.əɹ/買主 /买主, 購買人 /购买人
evaluate 动词/ɪˈvaljʊeɪt/評價 /评价
substrate 名词/ˈsʌbˌstɹeɪt/底層語言 /底层语言
solder 名词/ˈsɒl.də(ɹ)/焊料
automate 动词/ˈɔ.təˌmeɪt/自動化 /自动化

需要注意的发音

说话人用了 5 次缩略和弱读形式,例如 doesn't, can't, we'd。请按听到的简短形式来说。

  • 长单词——注意重音位置: manufacturer /ˌmænjʊˈfæktʃəɹə/, electronics /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɑ.nɪks/, flexibility /ˌflɛksɪˈbɪlɪti/

中文母语者容易读错的音:

  • 词尾辅音 — 要读清楚,后面不要加元音: robotic /ɹoʊˈbɑtɪk/, circuit /ˈsɝ.kɪt/, electronics /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɑ.nɪks/, layout /ˈleɪ.aʊt/, evaluate /ɪˈvaljʊeɪt/
  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: electronics /ɪˌlɛkˈtɹɑ.nɪks/, solder /ˈsɒl.də(ɹ)/
  • /æ/ — 嘴张大,不要读成 /e/: manufacturer /ˌmænjʊˈfæktʃəɹə/, manual /ˈmæn.j(u)əl/

如何用这段视频练习

  1. 先完整听一遍视频,不要开口,记下不认识的单词。
  2. 先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟读,熟练之后再回到正常速度。
  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比,特别注意 manufacturer, designer, manual 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。
