正在创建课程...
1
Your thoughts and your ideas are not your own.
2
You have inherited them from your parents, from your culture, from centuries of history.
3
You want to ground yourself in that reality, in that past, because if you ignore history, if you ignore books and all the lessons that they have,
4
then your world is just going to get narrower and narrower and narrower and narrower.
5
You're not going to be creative.
6
You're going to be frustrated and bad things will happen to you.
7
Books are the greatest adventure in the world.
8
Can I make the case for why we should read books?
9
It's a strange question for me because for my whole life, books have been the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
10
If I didn't have books, I would be so miserable.
11
It's such an enjoyable experience.
12
But think about it this way.
13
You live in your head with your own thoughts, right?
14
And if you had printed out one day, if somebody printed out on paper what your thoughts were for a week,
15
you'd be astonished at how boring and how trivial and how meaningless they are.
16
The same thoughts recurring over and over and over and over again.
17
The same stupid resentments and things that bother you, etc. Your mind is going in these circles round and round and round and round and round.
18
Your world is very limited.
19
I'm sorry it's not a mystery.
20
I know it for a fact because we're all like that.
21
Okay.
22
You're living in a city with a particular culture.
23
You see the same people every day.
24
You see the same TV shows every day or the same podcasts every day.
25
It's a very narrow, limited world and you are suffering from it.
26
I'm sorry to say it's making you suffer.
27
A book takes you out of your world.
28
It is an adventure.
29
You get to travel to ancient Rome and be there with Marcus Aurelius,
30
the emperor, as he's trying to figure out how to manage his own life and his own problems.
31
You get to go to ancient Greece and be there during the Peloponnesian War.
32
You get to see ancient Egypt and all the strange things going on.
33
You get to go to Renaissance Italy and hang out Leonardo da Vinci.
34
You get to follow Napoleon Bonaparte in his battlefields.
35
You get exposed to these ideas of people that are not your ideas, that are interesting, that are weird, that are strange.
36
You get to expose yourself to theories and to things from other cultures that are almost like from another planet.
37
They're going to open your mind.
38
It's like taking a trip.
39
It's like being able to travel.
40
It's like getting out of your own little world, your own little apartment, and seeing the world, seeing history, seeing who you are, okay?
41
You are not a creature of today.
42
You are not a creature that was born for like the year 2000.
43
I don't know when you were born, right?
44
That's not the world.
45
The world existed 10,000 years before you.
46
Your thoughts and your ideas are not your own.
47
You have inherited them from your parents, from your culture, from centuries of history.
48
You want to ground yourself in that reality, in that past, because if you ignore history, if you ignore books and all the lessons that they have,
49
then your world is just going to get narrower and narrower and narrower and narrower.
50
You're not going to be creative.
51
You're going to be frustrated and bad things will happen to you.
52
Books are the greatest adventure in the world.
53
And I can't personally understand how if I can't read a book, if I had to go a month without reading a book, I would literally lose my mind.
54
Right.
55
Of course, it's an addiction, which isn't so great.
56
You want to build that addiction.
57
That's probably the best addiction that you can have.
58
OK, so if you want, you know, someday I will post as I will, as we have on my newsletter, lists of books that you can read that are truly exciting,
59
that will lift you, that will give you these experiences that I'm talking about.
60
But please, I beg you, I implore you, we need more people who are reading books today in the world right now.
背景与背景信息
在这个视频中，讲者强调了阅读书籍的重要性和好处。他指出，阅读能够帮助我们理解自身的思想和文化背景，让我们打破固有思维的限制。通过书籍，我们可以体验不同的历史和文化，从而开阔我们的视野。这一思想不仅适用于个人哲学的探索，还对提高英语能力，如通过英语影子跟读，拥有特别的意义。

- 阅读可以让你走出自己的小世界。 - 用于强调书籍带来的新视角。
- 历史教会我们很多东西。 - 适合用于讨论学习的必要性。
- 你要扎根于现实与过去。 - 提醒我们重视历史的重要性。
逐步影子跟读指南
为了提高英语发音和表达能力，我们可以通过影子跟读的方式来练习。以下是一个逐步的指南，帮助你有效地掌握这一技巧：
- 选择一段你感兴趣且较短的书籍或视频片段，最好是与文化和历史相关的内容，以增加趣味性。
- 首次聆听时，专注于理解内容。注意讲者的语调和节奏。
- 接着，进行两到三次的回放听读，同时尝试模仿讲者的发音和语调。可以使用shadowspeak技巧将自身声音与原声重叠。
- 在练习过程中，反复录下自己的声音，与原声进行比较，找出差距并且着重改进。
- 最后，结合你刚学习的短语，将其用于你的日常口语交流中，来增强实际运用能力，配合你的雅思口语练习。
通过以上步骤，不仅能够提高你的英语发音，还可以帮助你获得更深层次的文化理解。这种方法结合了传统阅读与现代演练，让学习变得更为有效和有趣。
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。
