I'm Rami Malek, and today I'm going to be reading to you one of my favorite books, This is The Empty Pot, written and illustrated by Demi.
3
A long time ago in China there was a boy named Ping who loved flowers.
4
Anything he planted burst into bloom. Up came flowers, bushes, and even big fruit trees, as if by magic!
5
Everyone in the kingdom loved flowers too. They planted them everywhere, and the air smelled like perfume.
6
The Emperor loved birds and animals, but flowers most of all, and he tended his own garden every day.
7
But the Emperor was very old. He needed to choose a successor to the throne.
8
Who would his successor be? And how would the Emperor choose?
9
Because the Emperor loved flowers so much, he decided to let the flowers choose.
10
The next day a proclamation was issued: All the children in the land were to come to the palace.
11
There they would be given special flower seeds by the Emperor.
12
"Whoever can show me their best in a year's time," he said, "will succeed me to the throne." This news created great excitement throughout the land!
13
Children from all over the country swarmed to the palace to get their flower seeds.
14
All the parents wanted their children to be chosen Emperor, and all the children hoped they would be chosen too!
15
When Ping received his seed from the Emperor, he was the happiest child of all.
16
He was sure he could grow the most beautiful flower.
17
Ping filled a flowerpot with rich soil. He planted the seed in it very carefully.
18
He watered it every day. He couldn't wait to see it sprout, grow, and blossom into a beautiful flower!
19
Day after day passed, but nothing grew in his pot.
20
Ping was very worried. He put new soil into a bigger pot. Then he transferred the seed into the rich black soil.
21
Another two months he waited. Still nothing happened.
22
By and by the whole year passed.
23
Spring came, and all the children put on their best clothes to greet the Emperor.
24
They rushed to the palace with their beautiful flowers, eagerly hoping to be chosen.
25
Ping was ashamed of his empty pot.
26
He thought the other children would laugh at him because for once he couldn't get a flower to grow.
27
His clever friend ran by, holding a great big plant.
28
"Ping!" he said. "You're not really going to the Emperor with an empty pot, are you?
29
Couldn't you grow a great big flower like mine?" "I've grown lots of flowers better than yours," Ping said. "It's just this seed that won't grow." Ping's father overheard this and said, "You did your best, and your best is good enough to present to the Emperor." Holding the empty pot in his hands, Ping went straight away to the palace.
30
The Emperor was looking at the flowers slowly, one by one.
31
How beautiful all the flowers were! But the Emperor was frowning and did not say a word.
32
Finally he came to Ping.
33
Ping hung his head in shame, expecting to be punished.
34
The Emperor asked him, "Why did you bring an empty pot?" Ping started to cry and replied, "I planted the seed you gave me and I watered it every day, but it didn't sprout.
35
I put it in a better pot with better soil, but still it didn't sprout!
36
I tended it all year long, but nothing grew.
37
So today I had to bring an empty pot without a flower. It was the best I could do.
38
When the Emperor heard these words, a smile slowly spread over his face, and he put his arm around Ping.
39
Then he exclaimed to one and all, "I have found him! I have found the one person worthy of being Emperor!
40
"Where you got your seeds from, I do not know. For the seeds I gave you had all been cooked.
41
So it was impossible for any of them to grow.
42
"I admire Ping's great courage to appear before me with the empty truth, and now I reward him with my entire kingdom and make him Emperor of all the land!" What I love about The Empty Pot is it does allow me to look inside and realize just how much truth means.
43
Because ultimately the only consequences are feeling like you're courageous, and honorable, and a bigger person, and I guarantee you, the truth always wins.
44
So thank you to The Empty Pot for such a strong message. Keep telling the truth.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语?
通过观看拉米·马雷克朗读的《空花盆》,学习者可以沉浸在一个充满趣味和教育意义的故事中。这个故事围绕诚实和勇气展开,不仅吸引人,还让我们了解到口语练习的重要性。在练习口语时,参与者可以模仿马雷克的语调和表达方式,有效提高英语发音技巧。这种色彩丰富的故事不仅能够提升学生的理解能力,还能增加谈话时的自信心,特别是在需要展示个人观点时。通过跟读不同角色的对话,学习者能够提升他们的口语能力,成为更流利的英语使用者。
语法与表达在语境中
在视频中,拉米·马雷克使用了多种语法结构,有助于学习者理解英语的表达方式。以下是几个关键的语言结构:
- 直接引语:使用诸如“他说”和“皇帝问他”等句型,可以帮助学习者理解如何在口语中引入对话。
- 条件句:如“如果能展示我最好的……”这样的结构使得学习者能明白条件句在设定情境时的重要性。
- 情态动词:使用像“能”、“应该”等情态动词可以传达能力或义务,帮助学习者在不同场合下表达自己的能力和愿望。
常见的发音陷阱
在这个视频中,学习者可能会遇到几个发音挑战:
- “Emperor”:这个单词的发音可能会给非母语学习者带来难度,尤其是在发音重音时。在这个词中,强调第一个音节是关键。
- “Courage”:此词的发音应注意音节划分,尤其是在快速对话中,容易出现混淆。
- 语音连音:马雷克在朗读时运用了许多连音技巧,使句子听起来更自然。学习者可以通过模仿这些连音来提升他们的口语流利度。
掌握这些发音技巧对提高英语发音、参加雅思口语练习都非常有帮助。当你进行shadowspeak练习时,尽量注意这些细节,以便你能够更自信地呈现自己。
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。
