1
You had a moment on Forrest Gump.
2
Of course, you're working with Robert Zemeckis.
3
You're working with him on Forrest Gump.
4
And you said, you're sitting there on the bench.
5
And you just thought, is anyone going to watch?
6
That's exactly right.
7
What did you say?
8
Is anyone going to watch this?
9
Is anyone going to care about this guy?
10
We had worked so hard, so much.
11
And we were only about 40% through with the movie.
12
We still had a ton of stuff that we had to do.
13
We had shot 27 straight days in a row,
14
which included helicopter rides to like places in America where, uh, forest runs across the country, you know, with a beard, without a beard, you know,
15
we've been all over the place and I'm exhausted.
16
I'm fried.
17
And we've got like, we've got like 36 hours to shoot this stuff in Cherokee square in Savannah.
18
And I'm, you know, I'm there dressed and we have a ton of act, uh, kind of, uh, actors that are coming.
19
Cause they're going to sit next to me on, on the bus bench.
20
And we were trying to shoot so much that I said, Bob, there is no way my sad little brain can learn this much dialogue
21
because I've got a page and a page and a page and a page and a page.
22
And that's just up to lunch.
23
I, you know, if you think I'm going to be word perfect on this, you're out of your mind.
24
And don't worry about it, Tom.
25
We'll just put it on cards like it's I Love Lucy.
26
And you know, we'll slide the cameras around so we say, you don't want to have to get a bar.
27
Robert Zemeckis is a ventriloquist dummy.
28
We've worked together a lot.
29
So actually, no, I know what that means now.
30
I know what it means.
31
And so we were doing it.
32
And in all honesty, you know, you do it twice and then you get it down.
33
So it goes pretty fast.
34
And we were midway through like a day.
35
We shot all that stuff in a day, all the stuff on the thing.
36
This is you on the park bench, iconic.
37
Yeah, we shot it in a day.
38
And at one point, you know, I'm just, you know, I'm trying to read it.
39
I said, guys, can you make the print a little bit better just for these first couple of takes?
40
But then I'll get it down.
41
Don't worry about it.
42
And the other actors are coming in.
43
You want to run this?
44
Go like that.
45
And at one point, you know, Bob is sitting there next to me and I said, I don't know, Bob, you know,
46
anybody going to care about this guy dressed up in like this kooky ice cream suit sitting on this bench?
47
Saying stuff, you know, is it going to cut together?
48
Is it going to matter?
49
Is it going to make any sense?
50
And Bob goes, well, that's the thing about making movies, Tom.
51
It's a minefield.
52
It's just a fucking minefield.
53
We don't know if we're sowing the seeds of our own destruction or not.
54
That is the truth of every single moment that you're standing in front of, look, I, you know, I made this movie and that was altered,
55
you know, and I always say in years to come, we'll be talking about a movie called cloud Atlas.
56
I made it with the Warshowskis and that was one of the most vibrant, loving, hardworking, magnificent thing.
57
And when it came out, it was just like, Oh, Oh, Hey, nice movie.
58
Meanwhile, the Incredibles are, you know, you're all, you're, we got lost in, in the horse race.
59
So all you can do is show up and go there.
60
Everybody says, how'd you do that scene?
61
Oh, I'll show you.
62
I showed up that day and we all went there.
63
Is there any trick to it?
64
Yeah.
65
Here's the trick.
66
Go there. And if you, if
67
that means you got to put yourself through some sort of psychological hell in order to get there, go there.
68
Now you might know this, you show up to work
69
and you're going to do a convivial happy hilarious scene right everything works great
70
and you know you know what happened the day before
71
that uh your dog got hit by it you know every
72
tragedy has happened to you eight hours prior to show up
73
and just be correct is it fun to be in love
74
and shoot a montage where we're licking ice and we're holding hands
75
and we're skipping stones and playing a beach ball
76
and then we're dancing in a gazebo
77
and it's on with the worst days of your friggin life right yeah
78
and then other days where you got to go
79
and you have to like go to a place that's incredibly dark
80
and stormy and crazy
81
and all you did last night was laugh like crazy at
82
the karaoke bar with the rest the guys in the crew
83
and said guys it's it's two o'clock in the morning i love to sing another elvis song
84
but i have to weep and cry at eight o'clock in the morning
85
so i think i'm gonna i think we're gonna go return
86
all you can do is go there no matter what
87
because guess what you don't know where you're stepping it's it's a minefield conan it's a fucking mine

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？

在这段视频中，汤姆·汉克斯分享了他在拍摄《阿甘正传》时的真实感受。他讲述了在拍摄过程中对电影最终成效的担忧，以及如何在压力下与导演合作克服困难。这不仅是一个关于电影制作的故事，更是一个鼓励学习者面对不确定性、勇于表达的例子。通过观看和模仿汤姆的演讲方式，提升口语能力，学习在压力下如何保持自信和流利，是非常重要的。使用这种shadowspeak的方法，让学习者在真实的对话场景中获得更直观的口语提升。

语法与表达在上下文中的运用

在视频中，汤姆·汉克斯使用了几种关键结构，帮助我们更好地理解语言的使用：

  • 疑问句结构：汉克斯多次提问，例如“Is anyone going to watch this?”（有人会看这个吗？），展示出如何用简单且直接的方式表达不确定性。
  • 条件句：他提到“if you think I'm going to be word perfect”（如果你认为我能准确无误），通过条件句强调了自己的担忧和现实性。
  • 时间短语：使用了“we had shot 27 straight days”（我们拍摄了27天），清晰地指明了时间的流逝，帮助学习者理解如何在对话中使用时间状语。

这些结构在日常对话中非常实用，学习者可以通过模仿来提高自己的提高英语发音能力。

常见发音陷阱

在观看这段视频时，学习者可能会遇到几个发音挑战：

  • 单词发音的连音：如“going to”往往被快速说成“gonna”，这对非母语者来说，理解和模仿有一定难度。
  • 弱读现象：汉克斯在讲话时，有些词句会弱读，导致不容易辨认。例如，"about" 在快速对话中可能听不清楚。
  • 口音与语调的变化：汤姆的表达富有情感，而不同的语调变化能对句子意义产生极大影响，学习者需注意语调的变化，以增强表达的清晰度。

通过练习这些常见的发音陷阱，学习者可以提升自己的shadowspeaks水平，从而更好地掌握shadow speech的技巧，达到自然流利的口语表达。

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。
