跟读练习: This 1970s tank simulator drives through a tiny world - 通过视频学习英语口语

1
This feels like an obvious thing to say, but tanks are expensive, both to buy and to fuel.
2
If you want to train someone to drive one, it'd be great if they could learn the basics on a simulator first.
3
So in the 1970s, the Swiss Army had the idea to design and build tank simulators.
4
But this was well before computer-generated images, they couldn't create a virtual world.
5
So instead, they built a wonderful example of 70s analog technology.
6
The view screen in that box is connected to a real camera and a real miniature landscape through there.
7
In the past, thousands and thousands of tank drivers trained on machines like that.
8
There's now only one simulator left in the world, and it's in the Swiss Military Museum about an hour north of Zurich.
9
And tourists can try it.
10
There existed in the past 12 simulators for different type of tanks.
11
It's very accurate for teaching the basics and teaching where to go with the hand and with the feet.
12
Put that over your head, and then, because in a normal tank it's too loud with the motor noises, we have a special microphone that goes around exactly the throat mic.
13
So this goes on like...
14
Yes.
15
Oh, that is...
16
Okay, that's interesting.
17
Yep, okay.
18
That's it.
19
Okay.
20
Looks good.
21
Let's let's drive a tank.
22
Yeah, I wish you a good drive.
23
Thank you.
24
Wow, okay.
25
All right, so...
26
So I'm gonna start the hydraulics.
27
Yep.
28
Oh boy, okay.
29
Okay.
30
Haha.
31
Sounds good.
32
Now you can start the main motor.
33
Starting the main motor.
34
Very well, sounds good.
35
Fucking brake is off.
36
Okay.
37
Should probably be on the right hand side of the road I guess.
38
Umm, you can drive in the middle.
39
I'm in a tank.
40
It's a tank.
41
What am I gonna do?
42
Alright.
43
Yeah, sure.
44
You can go into fourth gear.
45
Fourth gear.
46
Oh!
47
Okay, I'm gonna sit a little bit more forward so I don't hit the back of my head when that happens.
48
That's the only one of the Type 68 tank that's remaining and we managed to get it running here.
49
It took roughly about one and a half, two years.
50
We had to really go into it from ground up.
51
It was very difficult, not for everything, but mostly for the electrical and electronic parts,
52
because it's all tech, it's not like you can go to any supermarket and buy it.
53
Fifth gear?
54
Fifth gear.
55
I need to sit forward.
56
This feels very fast now, all of a sudden.
57
There is something about the analog miniature model.
58
Like not only close up to make sure, but when the trees are in the distance, this is really convincing.
59
There is a memory function on the computer module which on base of this X and Y axis says you're here,
60
you're on gravel, you're on snow, you're on normal earth, you're on road and something like that.
61
If you're driving 2, 3, the feet where the camera sits on just moves up
62
and it's like you're having a panoramic ride right above our model with a helicopter.
63
Okay, we can go ahead.
64
Oh, I am good.
65
Yeah, I've definitely...
66
No worries, left gear.
67
Right, right, right, right.
68
Fifth gear, fifth gear.
69
Fifth gear, fifth gear.
70
Was that being right from the camera?
71
The foot where you're driving on, like it's kind of a metal slide.
72
If that moves a tiny bit, for instance, if there's some contact with it and it moves, for instance, I need to go up to go over that.
73
It will notice that and signalize the cabin that you're moving over something.
74
The camera is original, the foot is original, the whole model is original, everything except for the computer part is original.
75
But it was too old and you don't find parts easily for that, so we have to rebuild it on Raspberry Pi.
76
You can go into fourth gear again if you're comfortable.
77
Yeah.
78
Every time!
79
We should say, of course, this is a bit of fun for tourists now, but this was a serious training game.
80
Like, if you actually have to drive around a tank in wartime, it's a very, very different experience to this.
81
It is really dangerous what you do.
82
Here is a game.
83
It's like a game.
84
This job is not a game.
85
Thank you very much.
86
You're welcome.

这个视频适合谁？

无论是刚开始学英语的新手，还是准备雅思口语练习的考生，这个视频都很合适。它的对话自然且贴近生活，语速适中，内容围绕有趣的坦克模拟器展开，能让你在了解新奇事物的同时，轻松提升听力和口语。尤其是想通过看视频学英语的同学，跟着视频里的对话进行英语影子跟读，能有效锻炼语感和反应能力。

值得学习的单词和习语

  • simulator：模拟器。视频中提到的“tank simulator”就是坦克模拟器。
  • hydraulics：液压系统。“start the hydraulics”即启动液压系统。
  • throat mic：喉麦。一种戴在喉部的麦克风，适合嘈杂环境使用。
  • from ground-up：从头开始。比如“rebuild it from ground-up”就是彻底重建。

如何练好发音？

视频中说话者的发音清晰，带有轻微的英式口音。练习时可以重点关注以下几点：一是“tank”“simulator”等单词的重音位置，避免读错；二是“throat mic”中“th”的发音，要咬舌清晰；三是对话中的连读，比如“kind of”“a lot of”，可以通过shadow speak（影子跟读）模仿其流畅感。每天跟着视频重复练习10分钟，坚持一周就能明显感受到进步。

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
用 “should” 提建议 should + 动词 — 表示应该做的事Should probably be · should say
义务：must / have to / need to 表示某事是必要的had to really · need to sit · need to go
现在进行时 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在发生的事you're driving · you're having · you're moving
“going to” 表将来 be going to + 动词 — 计划或明显即将发生的事gonna start · gonna do · gonna sit

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。
