1
Thank you.
2
- Yeah.
3
Um.
4
Yeah.
5
- First and foremost, I want to personally thank the Human Rights Campaign for the incredible work
6
that they've done and the work they continue to do.
7
Thank you.
8
not only here in Washington State, but across the country and around the world.
9
As we all know, this work is critical.
10
It's life changing.
11
It's life saving.
12
It is my great honor and privilege to be here tonight to count myself a member of this community.
13
It is also something of a surprise.
14
Uh, I've had a complicated relationship with that word.
15
Community.
16
I've been slow to embrace it.
17
I've been...
18
I've been hesitant.
19
you I've been doubtful.
20
- For many years I could not or would not accept that there was anything in that word for someone like me.
21
like connection. and support.
22
Strength.
23
more.
24
and there are reasons for that.
25
I wasn't born in this country I didn't grow up in any one particular religion.
26
I have a mixed race background and I'm gay.
27
Really, it's just your typical all -American boy next door.
28
It has been natural to see myself as an individual.
29
It's been a challenge to imagine that self as part of something larger.
30
Like many of you here tonight, I grew up in what I would call survival mode.
31
When you're in survival mode, your focus is on getting through the day in one piece.
32
And when you're in that mode at 5,
33
at 10, at 15, for words like community,
34
for words like us and we.
35
There's only space for I and me.
36
In fact, words like us and we not only sounded foreign to me at 5 and 10 and 15, they sounded like a lie.
37
Because if us and we really existed, if there was really someone out there watching and listening and caring,
38
then I would have been rescued by now.
39
That feeling of being singular and different and alone carried over into my twenties and into my thirties.
40
When I was thirty -three, I started working on a TV show that was successful not only here in the States but also abroad, which meant over the next four years I was traveling to Asia,
41
to the Middle East, to Europe, to and everywhere in between.
42
And in that time, I gave thousands of interviews.
43
I had multiple opportunities to speak my truth, which is that I was gay.
44
But I chose not to.
45
I was out privately.
46
family and friends, to the people I've learned to trust over time, but professionally.
47
publicly.
48
I was not.
49
Asked to choose between being out of integrity and out of the closet.
50
I chose the former.
51
I chose to lie.
52
I chose to dissemble.
53
you Because when I thought about the possibility of coming out, about how that might impact me and the career I'd worked so hard for, I was filled with fear.
54
Fear and anger.
55
and a stubborn resistance that had built up over many years.
56
When I thought about that kid somewhere out there who might be inspired or moved by me, taking a stand and speaking my truth,
57
my mental response was consistently: No, thank you.
58
I thought, "I've spent over a decade building this career." alone Thank you by myself.
59
And from a certain point of view, That's all I have.
60
But now I'm supposed to put that at risk.
61
to be a role model to someone I've never met, who I'm not even sure exists.
62
That didn't make any sense to me.
63
. That did not resonate. At the time.
64
Also, like many of you here tonight, Growing up, I was a target.
65
Speaking the right way Standing the right way.
66
Holding your wrist.
67
the right way.
68
Every day was a test, and there were a thousand ways to fail.
69
A thousand ways to betray yourself.
70
To not live up to someone else's standard of what was acceptable, of what was normal.
71
And when you failed the test, which was guaranteed, there was a price to pay.
72
emotional, psychological.
73
Physical.
74
And like many of you, I paid that price.
75
More than once, in a variety of ways.
76
The first time I tried to kill myself, I was 15.
77
I waited until my family went away for the weekend, and I was alone in the house, and I swallowed a bottle of pills.
78
I don't remember what happened next couple of days, but I'm pretty sure come Monday morning I was on the bus back to school, pretending everything was fine.
79
And when someone asked me if that was a cry for help, I say no. Because I told no one,
80
"You only cry for help if you believe there's help to cry for."
81
I and me can be a lonely place.
82
you and it will only get you so far.
83
By 2011, I'd made the decision to walk away from acting in many of the things I'd previously believed
84
so important to me.
85
And after I'd given up the scripts and the sets which I'd dreamed of as a child, and the resulting attention and scrutiny which I had not dreamed of as a child,
86
the only thing I was left with was And it was not enough.
87
In 2012, I joined a men's group called the Mankind Project.
88
which is a men's group for all men, and was introduced to the still foreign and still potentially threatening concepts of us and we,
89
to the idea of brotherhood, sisterhood, and community.
90
And it was via that community, that I became a member and proud supporter of the Human Rights Campaign.
91
and it was via this community.
92
that I learned more about the persecution of my LGBT brothers and sisters in Russia.
93
- Several weeks ago, when I was drafting my letter to the St. Petersburg International Film Festival, declining their invitation to attend,
94
a small, nagging voice in my head insisted that no one would notice.
95
that no one was watching, or listening. or caring.
96
But this time, Finally, I knew that voice was wrong.
97
I thought if even one person notices
98
This letter in which I speak my truth and integrate my small story into a much larger and more important one
99
is worth sending.
100
I thought, let me be to someone else what no one was to me.
101
Let me send a message to that kid.
102
Maybe in America, maybe someplace far overseas, maybe somewhere deep inside.
103
A kid who's being targeted at home or at school or in the streets that someone is watching and listening. and caring.
104
that there is an us that there is a we and that kid or teenager or adult is loved.
105
and they are not alone.
106
I am deeply grateful
107
to the Human Rights Campaign for giving me
108
and others like me the opportunity and the platform and the imperative to tell my story.
109
To continue sending that message because it needs to be sent.
110
over and over again.
111
until it's been heard and received and embraced.
112
Not just here in Washington State, not just across the country, but around the world.
113
And then back again, just in case.
114
Just in case we miss someone.
115
Thank you.
FOR YOU

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
观看Wentworth Miller的演讲，不仅可以让你了解LGBTQ+社群的重要性，还能帮助你提升口语能力。在视频中，Miller分享了他与“社群”这一词汇复杂的关系，通过他的故事，观众能够感受到归属感和勇气的力量。通过学习这段演讲，您能够学习如何表达个人经历，增强自信，同时在练习时更好地理解与他人连接的重要性。因此，利用这个shadowing site进行训练，您将能在情感表达和沟通技巧上取得显著进步。
语法与表达的语境分析
- 第一人称与第二人称的使用：在演讲中，Miller频繁使用"I”和“you”的形式。例如，他提到“there is only space for I and me”，强调个人的孤独感。这种第一人称的叙述方式能够帮助你在表达私人情感时，更加真实且有力。
- 时间状语从句的运用：Miller使用了多个时间状语从句，例如“when you're in survival mode”，这种结构可以帮助您描述自己的经历和感受，让叙述显得更加具体和生动。
- 对比结构：Miller用“out of integrity and out of the closet”进行对比，这种对比增强了他决策的重重压力，显得更加具有戏剧性。学习这样的表达方式，将使您的语言更具深度和层次感。
常见的发音陷阱
在视频中，Miller有一些可能会让英语学习者感到挑战的发音，特别是“community”和“integrity”这两个词。英语影子跟读过程中，注意这些词的重音和音节划分将是提高您发音准确度的关键。比如，community的重音在第二个音节，您可以通过多次模仿Miller的发音，逐渐掌握。
此外，还有一些连音现象，如“that word for someone like me”中的连读，可以对提高英语发音有帮助。通过看YouTube学英语和影子跟读，您能够更好地掌握这些细节，使您的发音更加流利和自然。
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 | they've done · I've had · I've been |
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的 | wasn't born · have been rescued · was filled |
| 定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物 | truth, which is · test, which was |
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。
