This is Daily Reflections on Divine Mercy from My Catholic Life.
2
Today's Reflection is entitled, Jesus Hidden in Others.
3
Imagine if Jesus came to you in poverty, hunger, and cold, and asked you to care for him.
4
This experience might startle you and cause you to question question if this person really was Jesus.
5
But it is Jesus.
6
Jesus comes to us every day in the person who is in need.
7
It may be that we encounter someone who is homeless, hungry, and in need of clothing.
8
If this is the case, then this is Jesus.
9
But there are many whom we encounter every day who have a different form of hunger and thirst.
10
Many are starving for love, understanding, compassion and attention.
11
They may present an exterior that is unwelcoming, but inside they are our Lord,
12
seeking to receive mercy from your heart.
13
Do not hesitate to see our Lord present in every person you encounter.
14
the mercy of your heart on them, especially the most pitiable soul,
15
and you will have lavished your love on Jesus himself.
16
How do you treat the poor and the beggar?
17
Start by thinking about those with physical needs, but move deeper to consider all those who carry other needs.
18
Think about the hard of heart, the sinner, the proud, the arrogant, the person filled with anger,
19
etc. Every person you call to mind is our Lord, coming to you for a taste of the mercy of your heart.
20
Whatever you do to the least of these, you do to Christ. Do you believe this?
21
If you do, then this belief must have the practical consequences of you showing mercy to everyone,
22
especially those whom you find most difficult to love.
23
Ponder this practical question today and make a commitment to seek out our Lord in the next beggar that you meet.
24
no matter how undesirable they appear.
25
Let us pray.
26
Lord, I love you and I realize that I must seek you out in each person I encounter.
27
Give me the eyes to see you and a heart to love you.
28
As I love you and others, dear Lord, allow the mercy in my heart to give you a sweet delight.
29
Jesus, I trust in you.
为什么这个视频是绝佳的口语练习素材？
这个视频的内容充满了温暖的哲思，语速适中且发音清晰，非常适合用来练习口语。它的主题贴近生活，涉及关爱他人、同理心等普世情感，能让学习者在练习时自然代入情感，避免机械跟读。对于准备雅思口语练习的同学来说，这样的素材还能帮助提升表达深度，积累关于“人际关系”“社会责任”等话题的语料。
拆解自然表达，学习地道英语
我们来看看视频里几个自然又实用的表达：
- Imagine if Jesus came to you in poverty, hunger, and cold... 这里用“Imagine if...”开头，引导对方进入假设场景，是口语中常用的引起共鸣的方式，比直接说“Suppose”更亲切。
- They may present an exterior that is unwelcoming, but inside they are our Lord... “present an exterior”表示“表现出外在形象”，用简单的词汇精准表达复杂含义，非常值得模仿。在英语影子跟读时，注意“exterior”的重音位置。
- Whatever you do to the least of these, you do to Christ. “the least of these”指代“最微小的人/事”，这种委婉的表达在口语中能体现语言的层次感，适合用于雅思口语的论述部分。
简单有效的“影子跟读”练习步骤
利用这个视频练习shadow speech，可以试试以下步骤：
- 先完整听一遍视频，熟悉内容和语调。
- 逐句跟读，每句重复3-5次，注意模仿发音、语调和停顿。比如读到“Jesus, I trust in you”时，要带出虔诚的语气。
- 用手机录制自己的跟读音频，对比原音，重点关注“hunger and thirst”“pitiable soul”等短语的连读是否自然。
- 尝试脱稿复述，用自己的话概括视频核心观点，检验是否真正掌握内容。
坚持每天15分钟的shadowspeak练习，不仅能提升口语流畅度，还能培养英语思维。这个视频的情感表达丰富，长期练习还能让你的口语更有感染力，在雅思口语考试中脱颖而出。
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。
