跟读练习: The 1% Rule - 通过视频学习英语口语

加载中...
1
Here's another very important tactic, okay?
2
Even if you're extremely busy at work, which you are going to be, I find that closing yourself entirely to 0% is a mistake that many leaders make,
3
including myself, in a busy job.
4
What I recommend to people is just as a mental hack, always be looking for your next job at least at 1% of your energy and time.
5
1%.
6
You can give me 1%.
7
You can give yourself 1%.
8
You're not doing it for me.
9
You're doing this for yourself.
10
Because if you just mentally don't shut down altogether and you keep that 1%,
11
this means you are going to keep yourself open to hearing about really interesting opportunities.
12
Again, we're talking about inbound.
13
Remember, this is the inbound section of how to get hired.
14
So that's why it's open, important.
15
There's a big psychological difference between being at 0% and 1%, okay?
16
And this is the script I use, by the way.
17
So if you're wondering, but what if I get bombarded with these job offers, right?
18
Or whatever, some like pings.
19
This is what I tell executive recruiters, right?
20
These, it's just the words.
21
Remember, all your problems are messaging problems.
22
So if you find the right words for a tricky situation, the problem goes away.
23
Okay, this is another life tip, career tip as well.
24
All right.
25
So this is what I told them when I was at 1%, which is, I'm not looking right now because some reason.
26
I'm waiting for that launch.
27
I'm waiting for the next calibration, promotion, waiting for my stock to vest, whatever the heck that might be.
28
Okay, but that said, if you come across a once in a lifetime PM leadership opportunity, just email text, call me anytime.
29
I would love to hear about it from you.
30
This is what I tell people who I, PM executive recruiters and VC talent partners.
31
What do you think the next question is gonna be when I say this?
32
You know the question.
33
There's only one question possible in response to this.
34
Very next question is gonna be, what is a once in a lifetime PM leadership opportunity for you?
35
Yes, they will ask me of who else.
36
But see, these are people also who build relationships.
37
So they don't go transactional right away.
38
They first focus on me.
39
So they're going to ask me, okay, Shreyas, what is a once in a lifetime opportunity for you?
40
So I will tell them what that is.
41
And can you guess how you might have clarity on how to describe your once in a lifetime opportunity?
42
Yeah, you don't tell them the lighthouse goal, but you use the lighthouse goal as that lighthouse.
43
and in my case i would say like at the right
44
time in my career i said it would be like the first pm role at facebook in 2007
45
or at uber in 2011 that kind of role
46
that would be a once in a lifetime role at the right time
47
so it could be whatever for you but be clear on what
48
that is based on your three-year lighthouse goal okay
49
so yeah there's just a bunch of examples here's another thing
50
the more senior you are the longer you should be prepared
51
to be in the market for your next role okay
52
because most people they look job search is very unpleasant
53
so most people what they do is i'm going to find
54
a job as quickly as possible just going to find a
55
job in like the next two weeks three weeks four weeks
56
five weeks the sooner the better i understand i understand why you have
57
that tendency i understand it's tough it's very difficult i understand
58
but this is my general guideline the more senior you are
59
the longer you want to wait okay the longer you want to be in the market.
60
That means you have to be passive for a longer duration of time.
61
Okay?
62
Here's another thing.
63
Most people think these are the only two binary states possible with looking for jobs.
64
In fact, some of you are tuning out right now because you're like, I'm not looking right now.
65
So I don't need to listen to what he says.
66
This is like nonsense.
67
This is not how it works.
68
There's actually, this is how it works.
69
There are multiple stages of being in the market.
70
So you have to understand not interested at all, not looking, but open to great connections, open for the right opportunities, very open to exploring, actively interviewing.
71
I generally try to stay in this area all the time.
72
I'm never in this area.
73
Again, because of my 1% rule.
74
Because of my 1% rule, I'm usually in the open for right opportunities or not looking but open to great connections.

你能学到什么

这段视频能帮你提升两项实用口语技能:一是用自然的语气表达“暂时不考虑但保持开放”的态度,比如视频中提到的应对招聘人员的话术;二是在对话中引导对方提问,通过清晰描述核心需求(如“一生一次的机会”)来推动交流。这些技能在职场英语沟通中非常实用,尤其适合需要应对商务对话的学习者。

注意这些发音现象

视频中存在不少连读和弱读现象,比如“1% of your energy”中“of your”连读为/əv jər/;“what if I get bombarded”中“what if”弱读为/wɒt ɪf/(英式)或/wɑːt ɪf/(美式)。此外,“once in a lifetime”中的“in a”会连读成/ɪn ə/,需要仔细听辨。这些发音细节能让你的口语更接近母语者,适合用来练习“英语影子跟读”。

像母语者一样表达

模仿视频中的节奏和重音是关键。比如“1%”在句中多次被强调,发音时要稍重且清晰;“but that said”中的“but”和“that”需要轻读,突出后面的“said”。此外, speaker 在描述“一生一次的机会”时,语速会略微放缓,加重“once in a lifetime”的语气。你可以用“shadow speech”的方法,跟着视频逐句模仿,感受这种节奏变化。通过“看视频学英语”并结合影子跟读练习,能有效提升口语的流畅度和自然度。

想要练好这些技巧,不妨试试“shadowing site”提供的工具,或者用“shadowspeak”的方式反复练习。记住,重点是观察并模仿母语者的发音、节奏和重音,让自己的口语更地道。

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。
