This is Daily Reflections on Divine Mercy from My Catholic Life.
2
Today's reflection is entitled, Seeing Without Accomplishing.
3
Does God get angry with you when you do not accomplish a certain task for His glory?
4
It depends.
5
He may issue forth His holy wrath if the failure is unaccounted of your sin.
6
This wrath is an act of His mercy calling you to repentance.
7
But at other times, your work in service of God may be hindered by things beyond your control.
8
The Lord knows this and sees it.
9
You may wonder at times why God does not fix this or that problem.
10
You may wish you had it in your power to move someone to act
11
when they appear to be a hindrance to your work of mercy.
12
But this is not your concern.
13
Your concern must be to do all that is in your power to accomplish the will of God, leaving the rest to Him.
14
God is pleased by your efforts, not by your successes.
15
He does not measure the objective success, rather, He measures the subjective success. In fact,
16
sometimes God allows many obstacles to arise as a way of purifying your work
17
and sanctifying your soul through patience and deepening resolve.
18
Do your duty, and that God will suffice for the work of mercy our Lord has given you.
19
Think about that which you believe God has given you as a duty to perform.
20
It may be some ordinary activity, or it may be something that appears to be grander in nature.
21
Reflect also upon apparent obstacles you encounter in fulfilling your duty.
22
Try not to look at these obstacles as obstacles at all.
23
Rather, see them as opportunities to deepen your resolve to fulfill the mission of divine mercy God has given to you.
24
Let us pray.
25
Lord, help me to be faithful to you in all that I do.
26
Help me to refrain from focusing on the results of my efforts and,
27
instead, to offer my effort to You for Your glory.
28
I know You are pleasing by my total dedication to You, dear Lord.
29
Help me to daily resolve to deepen that dedication so as to become a better instrument of Your mercy.
30
Jesus, I trust in you.

为何用这段视频练习英语口语?

这段视频的内容围绕信仰反思展开,语言风格真诚且富有感染力,非常适合用于英语口语练习。其对话节奏适中,用词贴近日常表达,同时包含不少深度思考的句式,能帮助学习者在练习发音和流畅度的同时,提升语言的思想性。通过模仿视频中的语气和语调,还能培养英语表达中的情感传递能力,这对shadow speak(影子跟读)训练尤为重要。

语境中的语法与表达

  • “It depends.”:这一短句在口语中常用于委婉回应,避免绝对化。学习者可模仿其简洁的结构,在对话中灵活使用。
  • “Your concern must be to do all that is in your power...”:其中“must be to do”结构强调责任,“all that is in your power”表示“力所能及的一切”,是表达决心的实用句式。
  • “God is pleased by your efforts, not by your successes.”:通过“by... not by...”对比结构,清晰传达核心观点,适合用于议论文或观点表达类口语场景。

常见发音陷阱

视频中部分单词的发音需要特别注意,以提升英语发音的准确性。例如“accomplish”中的“com”发音为/kəm/,而非/kɒm/;“repentance”的重音在第二个音节,容易被误读。此外,“divine mercy”中的“divine”发音为/dɪˈvaɪn/,需注意元音的长度。通过shadowspeak训练反复模仿这些发音,能有效纠正口语中的常见错误。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:

结构视频中的用法
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事has given
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的is entitled · is unaccounted · may be hindered

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。
