1
Our bodily feelings have important functions.
0:12.14 – 0:14.60 (2.5s)
2
They propel us to take action.
0:14.60 – 0:16.76 (2.2s)
3
For example, when we feel cold, we seek warmth.
0:16.76 – 0:20.80 (4.0s)
4
We assume that these bodily feelings are an accurate indicator of what's actually happening in our body.
0:20.80 – 0:26.38 (5.6s)
5
But this might not be the case.
0:26.38 – 0:28.54 (2.2s)
6
For example, if we show you a red light and then touch your skin with a freezing cold probe, you perceive the probe as being painfully hot.
0:29.42 – 0:38.12 (8.7s)
7
You get it wrong.
0:38.48 – 0:39.92 (1.4s)
8
So what we feel doesn't always reflect what is actually happening.
0:40.48 – 0:44.50 (4.0s)
9
My research evaluated a feeling that most people have experienced, the feeling of stiffness in a joint.
0:44.94 – 0:50.66 (5.7s)
10
And we wondered, is a joint that feels stiff actually biomechanically stiff?
0:51.28 – 0:56.34 (5.1s)
11
Or, could feelings of stiffness serve another purpose, such as protecting us from further movement and injury?
0:56.96 – 1:03.08 (6.1s)
12
So to test this, we recruited people who had back pain and feelings of back stiffness, and we used a specialized machine that applies pressure to their back to measure how stiff their back actually was.
1:02.64 – 1:15.00 (12.4s)
13
And what we found was intriguing.
1:15.20 – 1:17.18 (2.0s)
14
How stiff their back felt did not relate at all to how stiff their backs actually were.
1:17.22 – 1:23.38 (6.2s)
15
But it did relate to how protective they were of their backs.
1:24.34 – 1:27.56 (3.2s)
16
We had participants estimate how much pressure they thought that they received, and people whose backs felt stiffer were more protective.
1:27.96 – 1:35.16 (7.2s)
17
They thought that they were getting much more force than they truly were.
1:35.48 – 1:38.90 (3.4s)
18
So if feelings of stiffness reflect protection rather than actual back stiffness, then adding extra information that would increase or decrease the need to protect their back should then alter perception.
1:39.04 – 1:52.98 (13.9s)
19
And given that sound is often paired with feelings of stiffness, think of a creaking, grinding, cracking when you hear, you hear when a stiff joint moves, we decided to pair the sound of a very creaky door to the pressure applied to participants' backs.
1:53.48 – 2:07.88 (14.4s)
20
We discovered that this sound changed perception.
2:08.08 – 2:10.76 (2.7s)
21
People became more protective.
2:11.32 – 2:12.82 (1.5s)
22
They thought they were getting much more pressure than they truly were.
2:13.60 – 2:16.80 (3.2s)
23
And this is a marker of increased feelings of stiffness.
2:17.18 – 2:20.20 (3.0s)
24
And the type of sound mattered.
2:20.38 – 2:22.40 (2.0s)
25
When we used a nicer sound, a gentle whoosh, people had the opposite response.
2:22.82 – 2:27.84 (5.0s)
26
They began to underestimate pressure, which is a marker of decreased feelings of stiffness.
2:27.76 – 2:32.72 (5.0s)
27
But most importantly, we found that the meaning behind sound matters.
2:32.72 – 2:36.54 (3.8s)
28
We tested what happens when the creaky door sound gets less and less creaky over time, kind of like oiling a creaky gate.
2:36.44 – 2:43.82 (7.4s)
29
We found that people began to underestimate pressure.
2:44.52 – 2:47.16 (2.6s)
30
So despite an identical sound, merely changing its volume and thus its meaning, evoked opposite responses.
2:47.10 – 2:54.96 (7.9s)
31
Together, this suggests that feelings of back stiffness don't only relate to what's going on in the joints and the muscles of the back.
2:55.38 – 3:01.78 (6.4s)
32
Rather, they are a protective perceptual construct.
3:02.18 – 3:05.96 (3.8s)
33
And information from numerous sources, including sound, is used to create this perceptual feeling of stiffness.
3:05.84 – 3:13.16 (7.3s)
34
And this has important implications for treatment because it suggests that we may be able to target feelings of stiffness without targeting the stiff joint itself, but instead by targeting how the perception is created.
3:13.02 – 3:24.82 (11.8s)
35
So in the future, when you have a stiff back or a stiff knee, the treatment you get might include listening to different sounds while you move so that we can break the association between feelings of stiffness and movement.
3:24.60 – 3:36.52 (11.9s)
36
Thank you.
3:39.56 – 3:39.98 (0.4s)
为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
观看并练习这个视频不仅可以提升您的英语口语能力，还能帮助您在实际情境中理解身体的感觉如何影响我们的动作。例如，视频中提到的“背部僵硬”的感觉，以及如何通过声音影响这种感觉，可以引导您在与他人交流时运用这些知识。通过英语影子跟读，您可以模仿说话者的语气、语速和表达，进而提升在雅思口语练习中的自信心和流利度。
语法与上下文中的表达
本视频中使用了几种关键的句子结构和动词形式，帮助学习者理解如何使用语言表达复杂的想法：
- When we feel cold, we seek warmth. – 这是一个典型的条件句结构，用于描述自然反应。
- How stiff their back felt did not relate at all to how stiff their backs actually were. – 这里使用了过去时和被动语态，强调感觉与事实之间的差异。
- It suggests that we may be able to target feelings of stiffness without targeting the stiff joint itself. – 使用了情态动词“may”来表示可能性，适合在讨论建议时使用。
通过练习这些结构，您能够在与他人对话中有效表达复杂的思考，尤其是在shadow speech和shadowing site中加强语法使用的能力。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中，有些词汇和发音可能对学习者造成困难，尤其是在快速对话中：
- Stiffness – 注意结尾的“ness”发音，容易与其他字混淆。
- Biomechanically – 这个词较长，记得将重音放在第二个音节上。
- Perception – 结尾的“tion”需要清楚发音，以免让听者产生误解。
通过不断练习上述发音，您可以有效提高自己的口音与流利度，使自己的雅思口语练习更加自信，表达更加清晰。
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。
如何在ShadowingEnglish上有效练习
- 选择您的视频： 挑选一段语音清晰、自然的YouTube视频。TED演讲，BBC新闻，电影片段，播客或雅思口语范例都很好。将URL粘贴到搜索栏中。从较短的视频（短于5分钟）以及您真正感兴趣的内容开始——兴趣是最重要的导师。
- 先听，理解上下文： 第一次听的时候，将速度保持在1倍速并仅仅倾听。还不要尝试重复。专注于理解其含义，收集新词汇，并注意讲话人如何强调单词，连读声音及使用停顿。
- 设置跟读模式：
- 等待模式：选择
+3s或+5s——在每句话播放完毕后，视频会自动暂停以便您有时间大声重复它。如果您想完全控制并在每次重复后由您自己点击下一步，请选择手动。 - 字幕同步：YouTube字幕有时会在音频前或后略微出现。使用
±100ms使它们完美对齐以助您准确跟读。
- 等待模式：选择
- 大声跟读（核心练习）： 这是真正发生改变的一步。当一个句子播放出来立刻——或在暂停期间——大声、清晰且自信地重复出来。千万不要只是张张嘴：要模仿说话者的准确节奏、重音、音高和连读。力求听上去就像说话者的影子，而不仅是逐字背诵。使用重复功能多次练习同一个句子，直到感觉自然为止。
- 提高难度： 当练习段落变得相对舒适后，就去挑战自我。将速度增加至 <code>1.25x</code> 或甚至 <code>1.5x</code> 以训练高速语言反射。或者将等待模式调整为 <code>关闭</code> 以进行连续跟读——这是最进阶同样收益最大的模式。持续的每日15–30分钟的练习将可以在几周内产生可见的效果。
