跟读练习: The Cure for Unrequited Love - 通过视频学习英语口语
正在创建课程...
1
For intense periods of our lives, we suffer the agony of unrequited love.
2
Our sorrow is accompanied by a certainty that if only the elusive being would return our smiles, come for dinner or marry us, we would know bliss.
3
Epochal happiness seems tantalizingly close, wholly real and yet maddeningly out of reach.
4
At such moments, we are often counseled to try to forget the beloved.
5
We should, given their lack of interest, try to think of someone or something else.
6
Yet this kindness is deeply misguided.
7
The cure for love does not lie in ceasing to think of the fugitive lover,
8
but in learning to think more intensely and constructively about who they might really be.
9
From close up, every human who's ever lived proves deeply challenging.
10
We are all at close quarters trying propositions.
11
short-tempered, vain, deceitful, crass, sentimental, woolly, cold, over-emotional and chaotic.
12
What prevents us from holding all this in mind in relation to certain people is simply a lack of knowledge.
13
We assume, on the basis of a few charming outside details, that the target of our passion may miraculously have escaped the fundamentals of the human condition.
14
They haven't.
15
We We just haven't got to know them properly.
16
This is what makes unrequited love so intense, long-lasting and vicious.
17
By preventing us from properly growing close to them,
18
the beloved also prevents us from tiring of them in the cathartic and liberating manner that is the gift of requited love.
19
It isn't their charms that are keeping us magnetised, it is our lack of knowledge of their flaws.
20
The cure for unrequited love is in structure, therefore very simple.
21
We must get to know them better.
22
The more we discovered of them, the less they would ever look like the solution to all our problems.
23
We would discover the endless small ways in which they were irksome.
24
We'd get to know how stubborn, how critical, how cold, and how hurt by things that strike us as meaningless they could be.
25
That is, if we got to know them better, we'd realise how much they had in common with everyone else.
26
Passion can never withstand too much exposure to the full reality of another person.
27
The unbounded admiration on which it's founded is destroyed by the knowledge which a properly shared life inevitably brings.
28
The cruelty of unrequited love isn't really that we haven't been loved back.
29
Rather, it's that our hopes have been aroused by someone who can never disappoint us, someone who we will have to keep believing in because we lack the knowledge that would set us free.
30
We must, in the absence of a direct cure, undertake an imaginative one.
31
We must accept, without quite knowing the details, that they would, of course, eventually prove decisively irritating.
32
Everyone does.
33
We have to believe this not because we know it exactly of them, but because they are in the end human and we know this dark
34
but deeply cheering fact about everyone who has ever lived.
35
Thank you.

练习建议
在进行英语口语练习时，可以尝试影子练习 (shadowspeak)，跟随视频讲者的语速和语调进行模仿。为了提高英语发音，可以先听一段录音，然后暂停，尝试复述。他们的语气变化和情感表达能为雅思口语练习带来启示。利用shadow speak技巧，跟随讲者的每个句子，反复练习，直到能够自信流利地表达。
视频中的叙述带有一定的情感深度，因此在进行练习时，用心感受每句话的情感。尝试与亲友进行模拟对话，将这些短语和关键词汇运用到实际交流中，帮助你更自然流畅地表达对单恋及其复杂情绪的理解。这将极大提升你的英文口语能力，使你在真实环境中更具自信。
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。
