1
If you are driving your car in Germany, you mustn't run out of fuel, or there might be consequences.
2
This is because cars can go very fast on the Autobahn, Germany's motorway, as some places have no speed limits.
3
As it can be very dangerous to stop on the Autobahn, you can't do it unless there is an emergency.
4
Running out of fuel is not considered an emergency because it can be prevented.
5
You just need to remember to fill up the tank.
6
If you run out of fuel, you can get a fine between £25 and £60 and get points on your driving record.
7
But if you cause traffic congestion or an accident, the consequences could be more severe.
8
In Denmark, you must check for children under or behind the car before starting it.
9
Small children can be hard to see from the driver's seat, and the Danish want to keep their children safe.
10
You can face legal consequences if you are caught starting your car and driving away without checking for children.
11
This can include fines and, possibly, points on your driving record.
12
So, you must remember to do this check every time you drive.
13
In Spain, you must wear comfortable shoes when you drive.
14
So, forget about wearing sandals, flip-flops or being barefoot when driving back from a relaxing beach day.
15
You can face a £70 fine if a police officer believes the footwear you are wearing is unsafe.
16
Sandals and flip-flops can easily slip off or get caught, making it hard to control the car.
17
By following this law, you help keep yourself and others safe on the road.
18
Would you carry your pet dog tied on the roof of your car?
19
I'm sure you would never do that.
20
Who would, right?
21
But for some reason, a law in Alaska says that you can't carry your furry pet this way.
22
Apparently, Alaskan authorities don't trust their drivers.
23
So, if you are in Alaska, it's important to remember that you mustn't drive with your animal companion surfing on the roof of your car.
24
The police must be really busy checking car roofs for pets all the time.
25
In Manila, in the Philippines, you must check the last number on your number plate before taking your car before taking your car.
26
For example, if it's Monday, you cannot drive if your number plate ends in one or two.
27
There is too much traffic in Manila, so there is a law called the number coding or colour coding scheme to reduce traffic congestion.
28
Depending on the last digit of your number plate, you can't drive on certain days of the week.
29
So you must remember to check your number plate and know which days you can't drive.
30
In Thailand, temperatures can reach up to 40 degrees Celsius ,
31
so it might be tempting to drive without a shirt.
32
However, you must always wear a shirt while driving.
33
There is a law that says you can't drive without a shirt even on hot days
34
or if your air conditioner is not working.
35
This law is used to promote decency and safety on the roads.
36
If a police officer stops you and you are not wearing a shirt, you can get fined.

关于本课

在本课中,学习者将通过观看有关奇特驾驶法规的视频,练习英语听力和口语。视频介绍了不同国家的驾驶法律,从德国的高速公路到丹麦的儿童安全检查。这些内容不仅能提高你的英语理解能力,还能帮助你了解英语国家的文化和法律规定。同时,通过模仿发音(shadow speech),你可以提升自己的发音和流利度。

关键词汇与短语

  • run out of fuel - 用尽燃油
  • speed limits - 限速
  • emergency - 紧急情况
  • fine - 罚款
  • driving record - 驾驶记录
  • check for children - 检查儿童
  • comfortable shoes - 舒适的鞋子

练习技巧

在观看视频时,尝试使用shadow speak方法进行练习。选择视频中的短句,反复模仿说话者的发音和语调。由于视频的语速相对适中,你可以先慢速模仿,然后逐渐加快到原速。此外,注意说话者的情感表现和重音,这将帮助你更好地理解英语的语调和节奏。每次重复练习时,尽量加入自己的情感表达,这样可以让你的英语听起来更自然和流畅。通过看YouTube学英语,你不仅可以扩大词汇量,还能有效提高英语发音,减少口音。

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。
