1
Today I'm at the National Gallery in London to see a brand new exhibition about Vincent van Gogh.
2
And this is one of his most famous works.
3
This is Sunflowers and it dates from 1888.
4
And sunflowers are inextricably associated with van Gogh.
5
He once declared, "The sunflower is mine." And that's not hard to believe when looking at this painting,
6
this symphony of yellow tones, grey.
7
And in this oil painting we have 15 sunflowers,
8
all at different stages of their life cycle from young blood through to maturity and eventually decay and death.
9
And so although this might seem like a straightforward still life, there's plenty of ways people have interpreted this over the years.
10
Perhaps it follows the Vanitas tradition of Dutch 17th century flower paintings which emphasise this decay and death, the transience of human life.
11
The sunflower
12
associated with love since around the 16th century and this was
13
because just as the sunflower turns to follow the sun
14
so the true believer also turns to follow Christ so perhaps there's a religious undertone here too.
15
Now if we look closely we can see
16
that van Gogh has used long strokes
17
which follow the direction of the petals the leaves and the stems and some have said that there is curving lines.
18
The paint here is incredibly thick in places and this is usually described as impasto,
19
a technique used in painting where the paint is laid on very thick
20
so you can actually see it raised above the surface.
21
In other areas of the canvas you can see small raised dabs of stippled paint
22
which create the texture of bristling seed heads.
23
So there's all kinds of different techniques on this canvas paintings.
24
However the visit ended in tragedy.
25
Two months in the artist began fighting.
26
Van Gogh threatened Gauguin with a knife and then cut off part of his own ear.
27
Gauguin returned to Paris and they never saw each other again.
28
So it's a tragic story but quite remarkable that within that darkness Van Gogh managed to create such beautiful works of art.
29
Now in the exhibition today there are plenty people often pick off on is his extraordinary use of colour,
30
the way that he might use red, for example, in the sky to create clouds, or blue as shading in a brown landscape.
31
There's also plenty of swirling lines which make these landscapes feel alive, as if you could feel or see the wind rippling through the long grass, through the trees.
32
realism.
33
They captured an impression of the scene or even something more,
34
perhaps they captured the impression of the light changing or an atmosphere or an emotion or a feeling.
35
Now this exhibition, Van Gogh Poets and Lovers, is at the National Gallery from the 14th of September to the 19th of January
36
so if you are in London make sure to pay it a visit.
37
And just to end, one of my favourite 3rd of September, 1888.
38
In a painting he wrote, "I'd like to say something consoling, like a piece music.
39
Well, I think when visitors come to this exhibition and take time to look at these incredible paintings,
40
I'm sure that they will find much to console them and much to delight.
41
Thank you.

为什么用这个视频来练习口语？
在今天的节目中，我们将领略到文森特·梵高的艺术作品，这不仅能够提高我们的英语水平，还能让我们在欣赏艺术的同时，学习更多关于表达感受和观点的方式。通过观看如《向日葵》等经典作品，学习者可以了解如何在日常对话中自然地表达对事物的观察和情感。此视频中，讲述者对梵高绘画技巧的分析，提供了丰富的词汇和短语，适合通过英语影子跟读来练习口语，帮助学习者提升流利度和准确性。
语法与表达在上下文中的分析
在视频中，讲述者使用了多种关键表达和语法结构，这些都能帮助学习者更好地掌握英语口语：
- 使用简单现在时：讲述者描述了《向日葵》的特点，使用如“这是…”，“他曾宣称…”等句式，适合用来练习基本叙述。
- 主动与被动语态：在讨论绘画技巧时，讲述者提到“油画中有15朵向日葵”，这能帮助学习者理解如何使用被动语态以表达信息。
- 使用比喻与复杂句结构：例如，“这幅画不仅是静物，还是对生命渐变的思考”，这样的句型能够增强语言的表达力，非常适合用于shadow speech练习，以增加口语的表现力。
常见的发音难点
在视频中，有一些词汇和发音可能会让学习者感到挑战：
- Vincent van Gogh：荷兰艺术家的名字在英语中的发音较为复杂，尤其是“Gogh”这个词，多数人常误读为“哥”。
- sunflower：这个词的发音需要注意重音的落点，尤其在快速对话中。
- exhibition：这个词的音节较多，发音时要注意分隔和清晰度，以避免影响理解。
通过这样的练习，利用看YouTube学英语的方法，学习者可以逐步克服这些发音挑战，提升自己的口语能力。在视频的背景下练习，不仅能够增加兴趣，还有助于加强语感。
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 |
|---|---|
| 现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事 | have interpreted · have said |
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的 | is usually described · is laid |
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。
