跟读练习: The Aroace Experience - 通过视频学习英语口语

you Oh, who's this?

Your better half?

Uh, no. Just friends.

Oh, I see.

So, best friends.

Ah.

I'm Arrow Ace.

Ta -da!

Let me just start by saying that I know every airways person has different experiences.

This is just my own.

If I had to explain my own flavor of arrow ace, it's not that I think everyone around me is ugly or anything.

I very much pass by people I think are attractive.

But rather than romantic interest, it's the same feeling as when I pass by a particularly cute dog.

Like, oh my gosh, God was having a very good day when he made you.

Same with people.

I see someone attractive and go, "Oh wow, he's so handsome, can I pet him?" And this isn't to compare people to dogs, it's just, you know, the feeling.

An uncomplicated feeling of affection for something I think is cute.

The same affection I feel for my fictional crushes.

To be honest, being Arrow Ace has not been difficult, not for me anyway.

There are moments that are annoying certainly, but it very rarely comes up in conversation.

I think it's mostly because it's just more accepted now for people to want to stay single, so I'm rarely in a situation where it gets questioned.

Explaining to my parents has been...

Well, I've never explained it to my parents.

I mean, these things with gender and sexuality are like, They're Asian parents, you know?

You know.

Even if I try to explain, they just...

Wouldn't believe me?

Arrow Ace, you young people come up with the strangest things.

You just haven't met the right person yet, blah blah blah.

So it was simpler to tell them that I just don't want to get married or have kids because I...

I just don't want to.

And that was kind of the end of it.

Yahoo!

Yippee!

That's that conversation over with!

I could never envision myself liking anyone when I was younger

and I quite literally just went through my entire life not ever thinking about it.

I know that some people will go through school seeing

that their peers have started dating and feel pressure to start dating as well, but look, I didn't even have friends, let alone something like a boyfriend.

I just wanted someone to talk to.

Romance

and dating were far -fetched ideas for someone who had to skip lunch every day to read in the library

because I was too embarrassed to sit by myself at a cafeteria table.

So it was only in high school that I actually discovered a label for my condition,

but it was never a moment of realization or anything.

Just, oh, that's what it's called.

Cool.

That being said, I have had people ask me out, mostly in college and not many, mind you, but it happened, I guess.

But the thing is, once I realize that someone sees me that way, and okay, I feel really bad saying this because it's not their fault,

but I start to feel genuine disgust, and it, uh, I don't know, this is why I don't go outside.

And, okay, if someone's upfront about it, I can just tell them no and go about my day.

No reason to stew over it if we'll never see each other again.

But there is one time someone who, and they never explicately said it, but I have a hunch, that they were interested in me.

Like, they just asked me out to play pool and I, who generally assumes that I'm a loser who no one likes,

thought that they just wanted to be friends.

But while we were walking, it was raining and he would constantly try and hold his umbrella over my head even though I already had a hood.

And I didn't want to walk shoulder to shoulder with him

so I'd skip forward a little bit to walk in front of him

and he'd immediately follow and stand next to me again, uncomfortably close.

Hmm, okay.

Weird vibes.

And it only got worse when he kept texting me afterwards asking if I'd eaten dinner, and I didn't understand, like, why is this guy so obsessed with whether I ate dinner or not?

So I asked my mom, and she was like, oh, he's probably trying to ask you out for a meal.

You know, like a date. And.

In this moment, I can't quite describe it, but there is this wave of sudden, visceral, unfiltered revulsion.

And because I have no emotional maturity to speak of, the only way I knew how to cope was to pretend

that this guy did not exist until he eventually stopped contacting me.

I must have been like this since I was little.

I remember in elementary school I found out a kid liked me so Um, I started harassing him.

And I don't know if he took this as a sign

that I was doing it for attention because

when our class was playing tag

and I was in the middle of trying to pull him off the jungle gym by a shirt, he turns his head, looks me in the eyes and asks,

"Does this mean you like me back?" Nope, I just genuinely fucking hated him.

For no other reason than him liking me.

It's been nearly 20 years and I still feel guilt over this.

Sorry, kid.

Shockingly, I do have guy friends, or rather, one guy friend.

I don't have many friends in general, but I have one guy friend who is fully aware that I'm AeroAce and I can feel comfortable talking to.

But even though we know that our relationship is just friends, we cannot escape other people's perceptions.

I get in a Discord call with his friends, this your girlfriend?

We bump into someone he knows.

Girlfriend?

In our year, 2026, we still cannot be normal about male -female friendships.

Just let me exist in peace.

Also, being Arrow Ace doesn't mean I'm disinterested in romance.

I mean, look at my past videos.

I love consuming and writing romance.

I just need it to not involve me in any way.

Which I think is why I enjoy fucked up romances so much.

Because I'm so detached from it in reality that I can only judge it purely based off entertainment value.

And I've read so much romance at this point that these green flag relationships are getting boring.

Where is my gore and murder and unhealthy obsession?

I am but a simple creature who needs shock value to continue reading.

Speaking of my past videos, there are so many fellow romance -loving Aero Aces in my comments, it makes me so happy.

Look at us, just existing.

100

We're doing so well.

101

So for any fellow Arrow Aces, I'd love to hear about your experiences as well.

102

That's it.

103

Yep.

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。
