deepenglish.com Walt Disney once said, if you can dream it, you can do it.
2
Many people don't realize that Walt Disney, the creator of Mickey Mouse and so many other iconic characters,
3
was once a man who was very familiar with failure.
4
In fact, in his younger years, he had a boss who fired him because he said he lacked creativity.
5
But Disney refused to give up.
6
He had a dream, and he wanted to see it come true.
7
So he hung in there.
8
At one point, Disney raised enough money to start a company called Laugh-O-Gram.
9
But when the business failed, he lost everything.
10
He was so poor, he could hardly pay his rent, and survived by eating dog food.
11
He even faced failure when he created Mickey Mouse.
12
He was told that Mickey would scare women, but he believed in his idea, so he fought tooth and nail for his dreams.
13
In fact, Disney spent 16 years convincing the author of Mary Poppins to turn her story into a movie.
14
For a decade and a half, Disney frequently flew to England trying to persuade author Pamela Travers to sell her story to him.
15
His persistence paid off when she finally agreed.
16
In many parts of the world, Mary Poppins is now a classic and well-known tale.
17
But there are two sides to every coin, and Walt Disney also had a dark side.
18
While hard-working and creative, many people also say that Disney was racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, and paid his workers poorly.
19
While he regularly gave his housekeeper stocks in his company, which ended up being worth millions of dollars,
20
some of his animators made only $12 a week.
21
To be fair, Disney lived in an age when these things were unfortunately pretty common.
22
Those who support Disney say that he may have been a little insensitive, but that he was not a bad person.
23
He was just a product of his time.
24
Certainly, Walt Disney brought the world to magical places in his stories and movies.
25
He encouraged us to wish on stars, believe in our dreams, and never give up.
26
Despite reports of his darker side, Disney was truly an American icon.

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。
