Coffee Break English, Season 4, Episode 10.
2
Hi everyone, and welcome to Coffee Break English.
3
My name's Josie.
4
And my name is Mark.
5
This is the final episode in Season 4 of our show,
6
and we hope that you have been enjoying each of these episodes and learning lots about the English language.
7
Yes, and in today's episode, we're talking about Niagara Falls.
8
That's right.
9
Josie, have you ever been to Niagara Falls?
10
I have.
11
Niagara Falls is technically in the US and in Canada, and I've been to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls.
12
What about you?
13
Interesting.
14
I've been to the American side of Niagara Falls.
15
Ah, so we've seen it from different perspectives.
16
We have indeed.
17
Let's listen to our text, and should we be listening out for anything in particular?
18
Yes, today's language point is phrasal verbs and expressions, including the word go.
19
Excellent.
20
Let's listen to Ryan as he reads the text about Niagara Falls.
21
Hi everyone, this is Ryan
22
and I'm delighted to be back on Coffee Break English with
23
another article about a landmark we share with our friends in the USA.
24
Let's have a listen.
25
The Niagara Falls are some of the most incredible natural landmarks in the world.
26
The three huge waterfalls are known all over the world for their size and beauty.
27
The largest and most famous of the three is Horseshoe Falls,
28
the 820-meter-wide giant which sits on the border between Canada and the USA.
29
Some of the most famous stories about the falls' history are the attempts to cross them.
30
The very first person to try it actually succeeded.
31
63-year-old schoolteacher Annie Edson Taylor went across the falls in a barrel in 1901
32
and reached the other side without any serious injuries.
33
After her achievement, Taylor became famous, and many other people wanted to have a go at the dangerous adventure.
34
But it was illegal on both sides of the falls.
35
This is for good reason.
36
More than a dozen people have gone for it
37
and tried to cross the falls since 1901 and not all of them have survived.
38
Another well-known story about the Niagara Falls is that of the Niagara Scow.
39
On 6th August 1918, Gustav Lofberg
40
and Frank Harris went out to clear the banks of the Niagara River on board the scow, which was an old flat-bottomed boat.
41
When it was time for the scow to go back to shore, the line attaching it to its tugboat broke and the scow began floating towards the falls.
42
Lofberg and Harris managed to stop the boat on some rocks.
43
which they held onto to avoid falling over the waterfall.
44
Eventually, the fire department and coast guard arrived to rescue the men from the boat.
45
The wreck of the scow is still in the river today, reminding people of the experience the two men went through.
46
While many stories you hear about the Niagara Falls and their history are about danger and excitement,
47
Don't underestimate the beauty of the falls themselves.
48
The magnificent white cascades of water have an amazing roar.
49
So a visit to Niagara Falls is a truly unforgettable experience.
50
You won't go away disappointed.
51
Thank you, Ryan.
52
I think Ryan is exactly right when he says you won't go away disappointed.
53
Definitely.
54
When I visited Niagara Falls, I was amazed.
55
Let's go back through the text now, and we'll talk about the interesting language in it.
56
The Niagara Falls are some of the most incredible natural landmarks in the world.
57
Yes, we're describing the Niagara Falls as plural, so we're using a plural verb.
58
The Niagara Falls are some of the most incredible natural landmarks.
59
Yeah, and what does incredible mean, Josie?
60
Incredible means very good, amazing.
61
And this is an example of an extreme adjective, which we focused on in the previous episode.
62
And a landmark?
63
A landmark is a noticeable natural thing or a building in a place.
64
Okay, the three huge waterfalls are known all over the world for their size and beauty.
65
Yes, so the three huge waterfalls, the three very big waterfalls.
66
The largest and most famous of the three is Horseshoe Falls, the 820 metre wide giant, which sits on the border between Canada and the USA.
67
Yes, so the Horseshoe Falls, this is an 820 metre wide giant.
68
What's a giant, Mark?
69
Giant means very big.
70
So a giant is something or someone who is very big.
71
Like in the children's story, Jack and the Beanstalk, the giant, lived at the top of the beanstalk.
72
That's right.
73
I'm not sure how famous that story is outside the UK and the US, but anyway.
74
Hopefully it makes sense.
75
The giant, the waterfall, sits on the border between Canada and the USA.
76
Yes, so the border, the dividing line between Canada and the USA.
77
Some of the most famous stories about the falls history are the attempts to cross them.
78
The attempts to cross them.
79
So, an attempt is a try, or to attempt something is to try something.
80
And in this case, people are trying to cross the falls.
81
What's cross, Mark?
82
Cross is going from one side of a road or a river to the other side.
83
That's right.
84
The very first person to try it actually succeeded.
85
Yes, so the first person to try to cross the falls succeeded.
86
They managed to do this difficult thing.
87
63-year-old school teacher Annie Edson Taylor went across the falls in a barrel in 1901
88
and reached the other side without any serious injuries.
89
So, this school teacher, she went across the falls.
90
This is our first example of a phrasal verb with the word go.
91
And to go across something just means to cross, as we spoke about before.
92
Okay.
93
And she went across the falls in a barrel.
94
What's a barrel, Josie?
95
Yes, a barrel is a big round container for liquid or food.
96
It's made of wood.
97
Okay.
98
Now, when Annie did this, she did it without any serious injuries.
99
An injury is damage done to a person's or an animal's body.
100
Yes, so well done her.
101
That's impressive.
102
After her achievement, Taylor became famous and many other people wanted to have a go at the dangerous adventure,
103
but it was illegal on both sides of the falls.
104
Yes, so many people, they wanted to do what Annie had done
105
and they wanted to have a go at crossing the falls.
106
What does have a go mean, Mark?
107
It's another of our expressions involving go and have a go simply means to try.
108
That's right, to try. To try.
109
To attempt to have a go.
110
Yes, they all have the same meaning.
111
Now, crossing the falls was illegal on both the American and the Canadian sides.
112
And this is for good reason.
113
More than a dozen people have gone for it and tried to cross the falls since 1901.
114
And not all of them have survived.
115
Yes, so more than a dozen people have tried this.
116
A dozen means 12.
117
And so more than 12 people have gone for it.
118
They've tried to cross the falls.
119
They've gone for it.
120
Go for it.
121
What does that mean, Mark?
122
Go for it means to make a big effort, to do something.
123
If you encourage someone, you can say, go for it.
124
Yes, but unfortunately, some of these people who went for it, not all of them survived.
125
Not all of them lived.
126
OK, there are more well-known stories about the falls, but we'll find out about them after the break.

Welcome back to Coffee Break English.
131
We're talking about stories of people who have tried to cross the Niagara Falls.
132
Another well-known story about the Niagara Falls is that of the Niagara Scow.
133
Yes, another well-known story, another famous story, is the story of the Niagara Scow.
134
So a scow is just a type of boat.
135
We'll find out more about that now.
136
On the 6th of August 1918,
137
Gustav Lofberg and Frank Harris went out to clear the banks of the Niagara River on board the scow,
138
which was an old flat-bottomed boat.
139
Yes.
140
So these men, Gustav Lofberg and Frank Harris, they went out.
141
To go out is just to leave your house to do something.
142
And the something they were going to do is to clear the banks of the Niagara River.
143
What are the banks of a river, Mark?
144
The banks of the river is the land on either side of of the river, like the shore.
145
That's right, exactly.
146
And they went on board, they went on the scow, which was an old flat-bottomed boat, a boat with a flat bottom.
147
When it was time for the scow to go back to shore, the line attaching it to its tugboat broke,
148
and the scow began floating towards the falls.
149
Yes, when it was time for the scour to go back to the shore, to return to the land next to the falls,
150
the line attaching it, the line joining it to its tugboat broke.
151
What's a tugboat, Mark?
152
A tugboat is a boat which helps to move other boats by pulling them.
153
That's right, yeah.
154
Tug means pull.
155
And it started to float towards the falls.
156
What's float?
157
Yes, so to float is to be on the surface of a liquid like water, without sinking, without going under.
158
That sounds quite scary.
159
Lofberg and Harris managed to stop the boat on some rocks, which they held on to, to avoid falling over the waterfall.
160
Yes, this does sound scary.
161
So they stopped the boat on some rocks and they held onto the rocks to avoid falling over the waterfall,
162
to stop them from falling over the waterfall.
163
And then what happened next?
164
Eventually the fire department and coast guard arrived to rescue the men from the boat.
165
Yes, so eventually, after some time, The fire department and the coast guard, they arrived.
166
What are or what is the coast guard, Mark?
167
The coast guard is the organisation which watches the sea near the coast, or indeed on rivers, and helps people in trouble.
168
That's right.
169
Like these two men, they were definitely in trouble.
170
But the coast guard, they managed to rescue the men.
171
They saved them.
172
Okay.
173
The wreck of the scow is still in the river today, reminding people of the experience the two men went through.
174
Yes, the wreck of the scow.
175
So, the scow, the boat, but now obviously it is broken and it's still in the river today.
176
And the experience the men went through, that's to go through something.
177
Yes, to go through is a phrasal verb and it means to experience something difficult.
178
Okay, let's continue.
179
While many stories you hear about the Niagara Falls and their history are about danger and excitement,
180
don't underestimate the beauty of the falls themselves.
181
Yes, don't underestimate the beauty of the falls.
182
What does underestimate mean, Mark?
183
If you underestimate something, you don't realise how big or how powerful something may be.
184
That's right, yes.
185
So all of these people who tried to cross the falls, they underestimated how powerful the falls could be.
186
Exactly.
187
But the falls are also incredibly beautiful.
188
The magnificent white cascades of water have an amazing roar.
189
So a visit to Niagara Falls is a truly unforgettable experience.
190
Yes, some difficult vocabulary in this sentence.
191
The magnificent white cascades of water.
192
Magnificent means very good or very beautiful.
193
And we have magnificent cascades of water.
194
A cascade is just a waterfall.
195
And these cascades of water, they have an amazing roar.
196
What's a roar, Mark?
197
It's a very loud noise.
198
For example, a lion roars or a tiger roars.
199
It's the word that's used to talk about the sound that these loud animals will make.
200
That's right.
201
And the beauty of the falls and their amazing roar make a visit to Niagara Falls,
202
an unforgettable experience, an experience that is impossible to forget.
203
You won't go away disappointed.
204
Yes, and here's our final phrasal verb with go.
205
Go away just means leave.
206
Exactly.
207
Okay, before we leave you with this podcast, we will listen one more time to the whole text.
208
The Niagara Falls are some of the most incredible natural landmarks in the world.
209
The three huge waterfalls are known all over the world for their size and beauty.
210
The largest and most famous of the three is Horseshoe Falls,
211
the 820-meter-wide giant which sits on the border between Canada and the USA.
212

216

217

230

232
You won't go away disappointed.

需要注意的发音

说话人用了 27 次缩略和弱读形式，例如 don't, we'll, we're。请按听到的简短形式来说。

  • /r/ 和 /l/ 的区别: barrel /ˈbæɹəl/, phrasal /ˈfɹeɪzəl/, unforgettable /ˌʌnfə(ɹ)ˈɡɛtəbəl/, plural /ˈplʊəɹəl/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/

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. 用正常速度逐句跟读，每句重复到你的节奏与说话人一致为止。
  3. 录下自己的声音并与原声对比，特别注意 waterfall, roar, cascade 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。
