Chapter 4 The Music How can I play music without leader?
2
Music was my life.
3
Now it is my death.
4
The sound of one note on the piano goes through me like a knife.
5
Oh, why did I swim to land?
6
Why didn't the sea take me down, down, down, to sleep the long sleep?
7
The next morning, Avril took her patient into the sitting room.
8
He sat at the piano, but he did not touch the keys.
9
His face was closed.
10
His eyes saw nothing.
11
You're a long way away, Mr. Piano Man, Avril said to him smiling.
12
Where are you now?
13
Are you thinking about your home, about your family?
14
No answer.
15
Avril took some photographs out of her bag.
16
Would you like to see some photos of my family, Mr. Piano Man?
17
She said.
18
Look, here's my husband, Jerry.
19
I told you about him yesterday.
20
And this is my son, Ryan.
21
He's 16 now.
22
He's a big boy, taller than me.
23
He loves playing football.
24
And this is my daughter, Mary.
25
She's 14.
26
She loves music.
27
She listens to it all the time.
28
One by one, she gave the photos to the piano man.
29
He looked at them, and then gave them back to her.
30
Oh, here is one to show you.
31
This is Mary when she was little.
32
About eight, I think.
33
She's having a piano lesson.
34
But she stopped lessons after two years. So sad.
35
I love listening to piano music.
36
The piano man held the photo of Mary and looked at it for a long minute.
37
His face did not change, but suddenly he put the photo down,
38
turned round to the piano, and began to play.
39
It was a happy piece of music, light and easy.
40
Avril laughed.
41
Oh, how wonderful.
42
I know that.
43
My Mary played that piece.
44
Well, she didn't really play it, but she tried to learn it.
45
You play it so well.
46
The piano man stopped playing.
47
Avril watched him.
48
Can you play some more music for us? she asked.
49
She looked round the sitting room.
50
There was another patient, sitting at the back of the room.
51
This was Doris, a very old lady.
52
Sometimes Doris remembered things, sometimes she didn't.
53
I think Doris is enjoying your music, Avril said.
54
The piano man looked round.
55
Doris nodded and smiled at him.
56
The piano man turned back to the piano and began to play.
57
This was a very different piece of music, fast and exciting, full of color and life.
58
The piano man's eyes were closed.
59
His body moved to the music, and his fingers danced over the keys.
60
Avril watched his hands.
61
You're a musician, aren't you?
62
She said.
63
A pianist.
64
All that day, the piano man was in and out of the sitting room.
65
Sometimes he just sat at the piano.
66
Sometimes he played fast, exciting music, slow, sad music.
67
Then he went back to his room and lay on his bed, with his hands over his head.
68
Then back to the piano again.
69
dr. Sansom came to listen to him you're right Avril he
70
said he's a wonderful musician the music is talking through him there's a change coming leave him alone and wait
71
late in the afternoon the piano man went to the piano again and began to play a new piece of music
72
It was slow, very beautiful music, like a song.
73
Avril sat with him for a time, then stood up.
74
Don't stop, she whispered.
75
I must see another patient for a few minutes, back soon.
76
She went quietly out of the room.
77
Doris was still in her usual chair at the back of the room, smiling and nodding to the music.
78
Avril was with the other patient for ten minutes, then went back to the sitting room.
79
She heard Doris's voice.
80
Nurse?
81
Nurse?
82
Come quick!
83
What is it, Doris?
84
What's the matter?
85
Look, said Doris.
86
He's crying, poor boy.
87
The piano man sat at the piano, with his face in his hands.
88
Tears ran between his fingers and down the backs of his hands.
89
Poor boy, said Doris.
90
Poor boy.
91
Poor boy.
92
Yes, all right, Doris, Avril said.
93
I'm here now.
94
She put her hand very gently on the piano man's arm.
95
He wants a cup of tea, said Doris loudly.
96
Poor boy.
97
Yes, you're right, Avril said.
98
She went quickly to the nurse's kitchen and came back with a large, hot mug of tea.
99
Gently, she took the piano man's hands away from his face and gave him the mug of tea.
100
There, she said, drink some tea.
101
Tea always helps.
102
The piano man's hands closed around the hot mug.
103
He looked up into Avril's face.
104
Spasiba, he whispered.
105
Before she went home, Avril went to the computer in the nurse's room.
106
Now, what was that word?
107
She thought.
108
Spas something.
109
Spasi.
110
She tried the spelling, spas-see-ba, and Google found the word for her at once.
111
Spas-eba was thank you in Russian.
112
Thank you.
113
Thank you.

为什么用这个视频练习口语?
想通过看YouTube学英语提升口语?《钢琴师第四章》的这段对话太适合了!它不仅有细腻的情感表达,还有日常交流的真实场景——艾薇尔与沉默患者的互动,充满了询问、描述和情感共鸣。这样的内容能帮你掌握“如何用语言打破沉默”的技巧,同时积累生活化的表达。更重要的是,对话中的慢节奏和清晰发音,非常适合英语影子跟读(shadow speak)练习,让你在模仿中自然提升语感。
语境中的语法与表达
这段视频藏着不少实用语法点,快跟着一起发现吧:
- 过去完成时的隐含表达:“Why didn't the sea take me down” 用过去时表达对过去的遗憾,类似用法在口语中很常见,比生硬的“had done”更自然。
- 描述人物的连贯表达:“He's 16 now. He's a big boy, taller than me. He loves playing football.” 用简单句串联信息,符合口语交流的“流水账”逻辑,适合练习叙事流畅度。
- 情感色彩的副词:“suddenly he put the photo down” 中的“suddenly”精准传递情绪转折,让表达更生动。
发音难点陷阱
练习shadowspeaks时,这些发音细节要注意:
- “piano”的重音在第二个音节,不要读成“pi-AN-o”,正确发音是“pi-A-no”。
- “patient”中的“t”发浊化音,类似“d”,这是美式发音的常见特点。
- “light and easy”中的“light”尾音“t”要轻读,与“and”连读时几乎听不见,否则会显得生硬。
抓住这些细节,提高英语发音就不再是难事。快打开视频,跟着影子跟读,感受语言的温度吧!
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 |
|---|---|
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的 | was closed · were closed |
| 动词 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 后接 -ing 形式的动词 | loves playing · love listening · stopped playing |
| 现在进行时 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在发生的事 | is enjoying · is talking |
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。
