4
Re-invention is like looking at a ball.
5
And you've been looking at this ball head on for a while now.
6
And you're getting bored.
7
So you simply walk to another side and look at it from there.
8
The ball stays the same, but how you're seeing it changes.
9
Maybe you decide to walk around or get up on your tiptoes, look at it from above, look at it from below.
10
Maybe you pick up the ball.
11
you throw it, set it on fire, anything but destroy it I guess.
12
Reinvention.
13
Well I mean if you're constantly reinventing yourself you have to ask who who's the person conducting all that?
14
Who's behind the scenes?
15
That person is you.
16
That's your true self everything else seems wrong
17
or dishonest manipulative I mean like I want to be an absolute
18
if I have identities it's
19
because I want to learn about me through them you know
20
over my life I want to take my truth from those identities
21
so I guess you have to change right of course you
22
have to change I guess for some time you have to
23
be like false I guess you lie to yourself to
24
find yourself really what I what I think I'm grappling with
25
is even from the beginning how do you not already have all
26
that you are you know like how do you just not
27
already know it's like piecing a puzzle together sure like over your life
28
but what's what's all that empty space in between the pieces
29
that void that what fills that space like a lie error error
30
i don't like the feeling of being passed over
31
you know reinvention keeps you young you never die you're everyone that anyone ever wanted
32
but they can also they can never have you you know as soon as you shift they lose you
33
it's kind of sad because you as the artist you never lose anyone But they lose you.
34
It's kind of sadistic, you know, to abandon people like that.
35
Apathetic.
36
Apathetic.
37
I mean, I guess in my life, I've only ever been passing through.
38
after a
39
while I feel like it's hard to invent to reinvent you
40
know one form one way of being kind of clings to you and it won't let you go either it stays
41
as a welcome or uninvited guest.
42
That's not the personas.
43
That's you.
44
I mean, right?
45
That's the most logical way to think about it.
46
But I don't see it that way.
47
I believe in the truth of abundance.
48
I believe in multiple selves.
49
I don't think that's dishonest at all.
50
I think the dishonesty comes whenever you wear a mask out of laziness not inspiration you take not to learn
51
but to avoid I remember whenever I was younger like in
52
high school I used to pretend to be different characters from films
53
that loved like if I got detention I got detention one time for something really stupid
54
and so the day
55
that I had detention I decided to dress like Ingrid Magnussen from white oleander
56
and and wear this like all like like denim blue outfit like she like what she was wearing in prison
57
and you know that gave me strength it's a costume
58
but there was me in it I was Ingrid I am sometimes I
59
got strength I get strength from those personas from reinvention you know
60
channeling yourself through these different people even if they aren't me
61
even if I was trying to be someone else I chose them it shows those characters for a reason right
62
so I guess that selection that choice you know is indicative of some truth
63
that I possess that's already mine you know why those characters why not someone else why did I pick them
64
and not like mrs. honey Matilda why didn't
65
I pick Cruella de Vil why not them why Ingrid
66
there's truth in that choice there's this really great Frank Ocean song
67
there's this really great line in it it goes
68
I've been living in an idea an idea from another man's mind you know like What about all of the selves?
69
You know, like what about all of the selves that you can't be held accountable for?
70
You know, like all the loss, all the things lost in translation.
71
When someone like incorrectly typifies you and you know that they've misjudged you.
72
What about that?
73
even if think about this even if what they're saying is positive
74
do you take responsibility for it like if it's not if you don't think it's true
75
you know think about all of the good
76
that has happened at least i like to think of it like this think about all of the good
77
that has happened from
78
a mistranslation or misunderstanding and people like to focus on the bad stuff
79
but like good things happen too no I don't know I guess you could argue
80
that the self isn't real that the only thing that can be real to sentient beings is
81
illusion sentience sentience itself is illusion protection the more
82
selves the more fragments the more protected you are I guess in a more light-hearted way
83
more carefree, joyous.
84
There's a really great line, actually, from Anais Nin's House of Incest.
85
She wrote, I can't tell the truth because I would have to write four pages at once,
86
four columns simultaneously.
87
Are you implying that lying is the only way to go about things?
88
I'm implying that things change.
89
And that's a good thing.
90
What you choose is more than empty space.
91
It's more than error.
92
What I guess I'm trying to say is that the error doesn't define you.
93
What is not you in those characters doesn't define you.
94
The lie of it doesn't define you, that you are not them.
95
The choice defines you.
96
What about the wrong choices?
97
Choices that negatively affect other people?
98
Well, I think we know numerous examples of people who had good intentions, and a lot of people got hurt.
99
You know, think about all the people who just never realized, like, in their lifetime that their idol,
100
whether it was an artist or not, politician, scientist, you know, their whole lifetime,
101
they didn't know that they were a bad person, they didn't know that they were a piece of shit, that they beat their wife for, like, more murderer and criminal,
102
or, you know going to the wrong conclusions after reading a
103
bit of text I mean like that's what happened with Walter Pater's conclusion it like set off an entire
104
new like culture of hedonism one could say it was a
105
bad thing it was a great thing for art good things happened from
106
that a new way of life was born like People thought that beauty could be like a religion because of that.
107
But it's because they misread it.
108
You know, somebody else's truth can be brought out by someone's lie.
109
It's still, it's still still a truth it's a reaction there are no false reactions
110
I never I never get lost I have never been lost
111
I know it's cliche to say no matter how things change
112
I always feel like I stay the same I'm still me
113
I don't like find myself emerging from a blackout being like why did I do
114
that not like blackout like drunk blackout I mean that like in a metaphorical way
115
But no matter how uncharacteristic my action is, I conducted it.
116
The act was siphoned through me.
117
If people think that's a problem, it's not really my concern.
118
I mean, in the long run, everyone always ends up the same way.
119
I get scared, yeah?
120
Yeah, of course I do.
121
I get worried.
122
Yeah, I worry that I won't be taken right.
123
Of course I don't want to hurt anybody.
124
Of course I'm not trying to do anything to anyone.
125
I just try to be me and hope that people respect that.
126
They know that I'm like, that I'm trying for them.
127
I'm trying to be honest.
128
But you know, in the long run, we all end up the same way.
129
It's a funny world we live in.
130
You know, I think it just depends on who's telling the story.
131
Who has the mic at a particular point in time.
132
I don't think there's any such privilege of like being fully understood. By everyone.
133
You can't ask people to keep up with you.
134
you just gotta hold on to the people that will.
135
I mean, in the long run, we all end up the same way.
136
I'm sorry.
137
Thank you.

推荐视频
谁适合看这个视频?
这个探讨“重塑自我”的视频超适合有一定英语基础、想提升口语表达和思维深度的学习者。不管你是想练习英语口语练习,还是想通过看YouTube学英语来拓展表达维度,它都能帮你。视频里的对话充满哲思,用词灵活,既能学地道表达,又能激发思考,特别适合用来做英语影子跟读(shadowspeak)练习,提升语感和反应速度。
值得“偷学”的词汇和习语
- Reinvention:重塑,指对自我或事物的重新定义。视频里把它比作换个角度看球,超生动。
- Passed over:被忽视、被略过。比如“我讨厌被忽视的感觉”就可以说“I don't like the feeling of being passed over”。
- Clings to:紧紧依附。“一种存在方式会粘着你”就是“One way of being clings to you”。
- Wear a mask:戴面具,这里指伪装。视频里说“出于懒惰而伪装”是“wear a mask out of laziness”。
如何练好发音?
视频 speaker 的发音自然流畅,略带沉思感,很适合用来提高英语发音。练习时要注意这几点:一是弱读,比如“it's because”里的“it's”要轻读,不要重读;二是连读,像“walk around”要读成“walk-around”,“set it on fire”则是“set-it-on-fire”;三是语调,演讲式的表达会有明显的升调和降调,比如提问时“Who's behind the scenes?”语调要上扬,陈述时则下降。建议用英语影子跟读法,跟着视频逐句模仿,重点抓节奏和语气,慢慢就能找到感觉。
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 |
|---|---|
| 现在完成进行时 have/has been + -ing — 以前开始、现在仍在继续的动作 | you've been looking · I've only ever been passing · I've been living |
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的 | being passed · can't be held · was born |
| 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 | they've misjudged · has happened · have never been lost |
| 定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物 | people who had · people who just |
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。
