Unit 19.
2
Can't beat them?
3
Join them!
4
Movie studios and recording companies are in a constant fight against piracy.
5
The Internet is the worst culprit.
6
People often upload or watch pirated material, especially on video-sharing sites.
7
The companies try to shut down these sites.
8
They even sue the people using this material.
9
Still, it has been of little use thus far.
10
There are just too many people and websites with pirated materials.
11
As well, these methods are making the studios and companies unpopular with the public.
12
People are starting to see these companies as greedy.
13
However, a new kind of software may change the nature of this fight.
14
Amazingly, it is advertising software that is making a difference.
15
This new software can actually analyze videos on the internet.
16
When it finds a pirated video clip, it doesn't report it.
17
Instead, it just puts an ad at the bottom of the video.
18
This is an ad for the original source of the material.
19
For example, it could show a link to the website of the studio or recording company, or it could show an ad for a product that the company owns.
20
In this way, each pirated copy would actually help make money for the original company.
21
If you can't beat them, join them.

Almost $2 million.

$2 million?

Yes.

33
Wow.
34
That does seem ridiculous.

背景与上下文

在这一单元中，我们讨论了一个现代社会中重要的议题——盗版。电影制片厂和唱片公司面临着不断增长的盗版挑战，尤其是在网络如此普及的今天。视频共享网站成为了盗版材料传播的主要场所，而公司的应对措施往往不仅效果有限，同时也让公众对他们的形象产生了负面看法。人们逐渐将这些公司视为贪婪的代表。面对这样的挑战，一种新型的软件应运而生，它利用广告来改变这种现状，从而提供了一种新的解决方案。

日常交流中的五个常用短语

逐步跟读指南

学习如何有效地提高英语发音是每位学习者的目标。以下是一个逐步跟读的策略，帮助你在观看这个视频时更好地掌握语言：

  1. 第一步： 首先，仔细倾听视频中的对话，注意说话者的语调和节奏。跟随其发音，确保可以听懂每一个单词。
  2. 第二步： 选择视频中的短语，如“Can't beat them? Join them!”，然后反复听和模仿其发音。利用shadowspeaks的技术，在你说的时候伴随听，努力做到口型一致和语音平稳。
  3. 第三步： 录下你自己的声音，与视频中的说话者进行对比，识别发音和语调上的差异，努力改进这些问题。
  4. 第四步： 继续选择其他短语进行反复练习，直到能够自然流利地使用它们。在每次跟读练习后，考虑使用shadow speech的方式重现对话。
  5. 第五步： 结合实际场景，多与他人进行对话，应用所学的短语和技巧，提升交流能力和自信。

通过这种方法，你不仅能够提高你的英语发音，还能提升你在日常沟通中的流利度。不断练习，最终你将掌握更复杂的书面及口头交流技巧，成为一名出色的英语学习者。利用shadowspeak的理念，把跟读与实际对话结合起来，形成你自己的语言习惯！

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。
