1
As they led a Roman emperor or general through a triumphal arch, the greatest accomplishment and honor that you could receive in the ancient world, to march in triumph.
2
Supposedly on the chariot of the great general or the emperor was a person whose job was to whisper in their ear, memento mori, memento mori, remember you are mortal.
3
It wasn't a threat so much as a reminder that ego is the enemy, that you are not a god, that you are not invincible,
4
that you may have achieved this great incredible thing.
5
You are not that special and the rules still apply.
6
And it's a great little whisper, a great little reminder
7
that we can practice in our own lives in our great moments of accomplishment to remember not just
8
that we are mortal and that life is short, but that the rules still apply, that ego is the enemy, that gravity is still there, that we are not exempt.

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。
