跟读练习: What is the Capability Approach to development? - 通过视频学习英语口语

I think there was a Nobel,

there is a Nobel laureate, Amartya Sen, who in 1979 observed that when we think about equality,

we're always trying to measure equality in some space.

And And all of the disagreements are about what space we measured in, whether it's in resources, whether it's in liberty or something else.

And theories of justice would disagree about the space in which we should assess equality.

And he proposed that we consider it in a space of capabilities, which is people's freedom, their real freedom,

not a paper freedom, but their real freedom to pursue and achieve activities and states of life that they deeply value,

and also that they have reason to value, that are valuable from a wider perspective.

And so that's a mouthful, it's a lot of phrases, it's a lot of ideas,

but he developed those ideas very powerfully both in philosophy and in economics. And so

that has been a way of widening the focus of economic thinking away from just looking at people's preferences

or utility to really looking at their activities and their states of being,

and also doing so while leaving respect for them, freedom, so that they can act as agents, so that they can create in an ongoing way,

and you're not putting them in a box and trying to simply give them basic needs, as in a prison.

So that idea which I had read when I was still studying theology in a reading group, continued to inspire me.

It was the basis of my doctoral work and it's been a continual theme since then.

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	has been
定语从句 who / which + 从句 — 补充说明人或事物	capabilities, which is

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。
