Hey, Afton!
2
Hey, Louise!
3
Whatcha doing?
4
I'm working on this character lesson, and honestly I'm struggling a bit.
5
How do you make an audience care about a character?
6
That's a really hard one.
7
You ever heard of the elevator test?
8
No, what's that?
9
So, when you're struggling with your character and you're trying to figure out who they really are, it helps a lot to put them in an elevator.
10
What was that?
11
Okay, it's okay.
12
Okay, Louise, how about you tell me about the elevator thing?
13
Oh, okay, yeah, um, so when you're trying to figure out your characters,
14
it helps to trap them in an elevator and see how they'd react in a crisis.
15
Get me out of the air!
16
Hey, are you out there?
17
The elevator's stuck!
18
Really, really stuck!
19
Let's try this one.
20
Okay, lights!
21
Okay, what's next?
22
Okay, we're late for meetings.
23
Um, someone will notice that we're gone.
24
Breathe in.
25
Must be a trapdoor somewhere.
26
Breathe out!
27
It's not working!
28
Okay.
29
Louise, are you okay?
30
I'm fine!
31
Hello?
32
Have you completed the exercise?
33
Uh, yeah!
34
Get us out of this elevator!
35
This is elevator.
36
Did my exercise help you think about your characters and how they might behave when they are in difficult situations?
37
You've got to be kidding me!
38
Let us out of here!
39
Well, hang on, Elise.
40
I think it actually worked.
41
I got good insight into what people actually do in a crisis.
42
How about you?
43
Oh, well, I, um...
44
Clearly, the exercise worked, and you discovered something different about each character.
45
And as a bonus, you've discovered that entertaining characters are often deeply flawed.
46
Don't worry, those flaws can also be the key to why audiences care about them.
47
Your characters will be the people, rats, fish, cars, or robots, that we follow through the whole story,
48
the lessons they learn, the challenges they face, and the feelings they feel will be shared by the audience.
49
And when you are struggling to create a character that the audience cares about, there are many other exercises you can try.
50
Right on, elevator!
51
That's what this lesson is all about, playing with character.
52
And remember, I'm always here to help you take your storytelling to the next level.
53
Bye elevator!
54
Bye elevator!
55
I sure hope my next passenger is a tidier character.

练习技巧

为了有效地进行英语影子跟读，特别是在此视频的语速和语调下，您可以采取以下步骤：

  • 模仿练习: 观看视频时，跟随说话者的语速，尽量模仿他们的发音和语调。这种shadow speak的方法能够帮助您更好地内化语言的节奏和情感。
  • 逐段跟读: 将视频分成若干段落，每次集中精力练习一小段，以确保您能够理解并正确发音每一句话。
  • 情绪投入: 尝试在练习时表演出视频中的情感，例如紧张或焦虑。这将有助于提高您在雅思口语练习中的表现。
  • 记录并回放: 自己阅读时录音，然后与视频中的原声进行对比。看看在表达技巧和情感上，您可以在哪些地方进一步改进。

通过结合这些练习技巧，您将能够提升自己的英语口语练习水平，让自己在沟通中更加自信和流利。

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。
