Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
3
I'm Neil.
4
And I'm Pippa.
5
In this episode we're discussing poetry.
6
For some, poetry is what you study at school,
7
then forget, while for others it becomes an important part of their life.
8
Have you ever read or written any poetry, Neil?
9
Well, I haven't written any poetry since I was at school.
10
I would love to read more poetry,
11
but I just don't get it really.
12
I find it difficult to understand.
13
A good place to hear poetry is an open mic night,
14
a live event where anyone is allowed to stand up on stage to sing or recite poems.
15
Here, BBC reporter Maria recites her open mic poem about a
16
friend who suffered a stroke for BBC World Service programme People Fixing the World.
17
This first poem, I wrote it about a friend who I love dearly.
18
It's called Stroke.
19
You're awake and trying to grasp who it is.
20
I pull my mask past my lips and you study my face.
21
Eyes wide.
22
I've enough stuff to tell you,
23
I say, sinking into a chair.
24
I stare.
25
Sometimes if you go to an open mic night,
26
people can really touch your soul with what they're saying.
27
And even if you're having a bad day,
28
life can feel so much better after going to an open mic night.
29
For Maria, poetry has the power to heal emotions and touch your soul,
30
meaning to affect you deeply on an emotional or spiritual level.
31
In this episode, we'll hear more about the positive power of poetry and,
32
as usual, we'll learn some useful new words and phrases.
33
And remember, you'll find all the vocabulary,
34
plus a quiz and worksheet, on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
35
But first, I have a question for you, Pippa.
36
Just now, you used the phrase,
37
positive power of poetry, repeating the same initial p sound across a string of words.
38
Doing this is a common feature of poetry, but what's it called?
39
Is it a assonance, b alliteration, or c simile?
40
Hmm, finally my English degree might come in handy,
41
and I'm going to say b alliteration.
42
Well, we'll find out at the end,
43
and I hope you don't get embarrassed, Pippa.
44
Now, poetry helped Maria overcome sadness,
45
but could its power to heal work in other areas too?
46
Hot Poets is a group helping people understand the science behind global issues like climate change.
47
They go to meetings, like the UN Climate Conference,
48
and listen to scientific papers being presented.
49
Then they write a poem about it all,
50
and perform that back to the audience.
51
Here's hot poet Liv Talk reciting her poem to BBC World Service's People Fixing the World.
52
It starts with an adventure at sea.
53
A big blue murder mystery where the killer is not the whale,
54
but an epic humanity fail of overfishing and polluting at unimaginable scale.
55
Liv's poem is based on a study into biodiversity.
56
It's a complex research project that many find hard to understand.
57
Here, Liv discusses this with Myra Anubi for BBC World Service programme People Fixing the World.
58
And Liv, I mean, so what you've identified is that there is an issue around the communication of science.
59
Yes, a lot of this jargon is really hard to understand
60
or a lot of the science is quite impenetrable to normal people,
61
so it's instantly a turn off.
62
Science uses lots of jargon,
63
specialist or technical vocabulary, which is quite different from everyday language.
64
For example, a scientist might use the word precipitation,
65
while in everyday English we would say rain.
66
Jargon can make scientific papers impenetrable,
67
an adjective meaning impossible to understand and worse,
68
it makes science a turn-off,
69
something that people dislike or find uninteresting.
70
Hot poets try to change all of that by making complex environmental ideas easy to understand through poetry.
71
And it works, says Cat Bruce,
72
the environmental scientist whose study Liv based her poem on,
73
talking here with Myra Anubi for BBC World Service's People Fixing the World.
74
What did it mean for you,
75
Cat, hearing the poem, having actually experienced everything It still gives me goosebumps when I hear it now.
76
I think it's everything that I wish I could say and put into words myself.
77
I feel like Liv just has done that.
78
Liv's poem gave Kat goosebumps,
79
meaning she was so emotionally affected that the hairs on her skin stood up, making tiny bumps.
80
Maybe poetry can't fix everything,
81
but for Kat it's making an impact for good.
82
Now, what was the answer to your question, Neil?
83
Well, you seemed very clear,
84
Pippa, that when you use a string of words beginning with the same sound, it's called alliteration.
85
And you're absolutely right.
86
Phew.
87
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we've learnt,
88
starting with open mic night,
89
a live event where anyone is allowed to perform poems or music on stage.
90
If something touches your soul,
91
it affects you deeply on an emotional or spiritual level.
92
Jargon means special words and phrases that are used in a particular profession or subject.
93
The adjective impenetrable means impossible to understand.
94
A turn-off is something that people dislike or find uninteresting.
95
And finally, if you get goosebumps,
96
the hairs on your skin stand up because you're cold,
97
emotionally affected or afraid.
98
Once again, our six minutes are up,
99
but remember you'll find lots more episodes as well as a quiz and worksheet for this one on our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
100
See you again soon, but for now it's goodbye!
101
Goodbye!

背景与上下文
在本期《6分钟英语》中，主持人Neil和Pippa深入探讨了诗歌的力量。对一些人来说，诗歌可能只是学校学习的内容，随后便被遗忘；而对另一些人来说，诗歌则是一种生活的重要组成部分。节目中提到，诗歌不仅可以表达情感，还能在各种情境中带来治疗的效果，甚至在开放麦克风之夜上，人们通过朗诵或演唱诗歌，能够触动听众的灵魂。这样的场合为想要提高英语口语能力的学习者提供了良好的实践机会，鼓励他们勇敢表达自我。
日常交流的五个短语
- 触动灵魂 (touch your soul) - 诗歌能够深刻影响人的情感。
- 积极的力量 (positive power) - 诗歌在情感和精神层面上的积极作用。
- 开放麦克风之夜 (open mic night) - 允许任何人展示自己作品的现场活动。
- 记录感受 (grasp who it is) - 表达对他人情感的理解。
- 情感愈合 (heal emotions) - 通过艺术形式传递和治愈心理伤痛。
逐步模仿指南
为了有效练习英语口语，尤其是在诗歌和情感表达方面，您可以参考以下步骤进行 shadow speak 练习：
- 选择合适的诗歌：从相关视频中选一首容易理解的诗歌或朗读片段。可以选用视频中的内容，通过重复训练提高口语技巧，特别是《积极的力量》部分。
- 倾听与模仿：仔细倾听原声，注意语调、重音和节奏。确保您理解每个短语的含义，这对于雅思口语练习非常有帮助。
- 逐句跟读：根据视频进行逐句模仿，提高您的发音和流畅度。使用 Google Translate 等工具来帮助您理解其中的难点。
- 录音与自我反馈：将自己的朗读录音，之后与原音对比，识别自己的不足之处。这样的 shadowspeaks 练习可以提升您的语感与发音。
- 参与现场活动：如果可能，参与开放麦克风之夜等活动，勇敢表达自己的诗歌或故事。这不仅能提高自信心，还能增加您的表达能力。
通过这些方法，不仅能提高您的英语口语能力，也能让您更好地理解诗歌的力量和情感表达的深度。在实践中，您会感受到英语的魅力与乐趣。
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。
