Welcome to Spotlight.
2
I’m Dave Bast.
3
And I’m Liz Waid.
4
Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting.
5
It is easier for people to understand, no matter where in the world they live.
6
“Peter Menzel and I invited ourselves to dinner with 30 families in 24 countries.
7
We wanted to explore people’s oldest social activity: eating.” These are the words of writer Faith D’Aluisio.
8
Peter Menzel is her husband.
9
He is also a photographer - he takes beautiful pictures.
10
Together, they travel the world.
11
Faith writes about the things and people they see.
12
And Peter takes pictures.
13
In the mid 1990s, Faith and Peter began to notice how people’s diets across the world were changing.
14
They decided to write a book about their observations.
15
Today’s Spotlight is on this book called Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.
16
Food is a very important part of family life.
17
It is part of everyone’s history and culture.
18
Faith D’Aluisio and Peter Menzel wanted to show how diet affects health and culture.
19
And they wanted to present this information in a beautiful way.
20
In their book, Faith explains: “To learn more about how diets are changing, we watched normal families all over the world.
21
We watched as they farmed, shopped at the market, cooked, and ate.
22
At the end of each visit, we created a picture of the family.
23
The Madsen family lives in Cap Hope village in Greenland.
24
Five people live in the home.
25
They spend $277 each week on food.
26
They also hunt animals to eat fresh meat.
27
These are animals that live in ice cold water such as polar bears, walrus, and arctic geese.
28
Many people in Greenland hunt these large animals for their meat.
29
The Mendoza family live in Todos Santos Cuchumatan, Guatemala.
30
Eight people live in the home.
31
They spend $25 a week on food.
32
The Mendoza family only eat meat less than once a week.
33
They spend most of their money on fruits and vegetables like bananas, zapote, passion fruit, avocados, green beans, and red chili peppers.
34
The Al Haggan family lives in Kuwait City, Kuwait.
35
Eight people live in the Al Haggan home.
36
They spend $221 on food each week.
37
Much of the food they eat is imported from other countries.
38
They buy it at a western style market.
39
The Revis family live in North Carolina, in the United States.
40
There are four people in the family.
41
They spend $342 each week on food.
42
They spend a lot of their money on fast food from eating places like McDonalds, Taco Bell and pizza places.
43
The Aboubakar family is from Darfur, Sudan.
44
But they live as refugees in the country of Chad.
45
D’jimia is a single mother.
46
She has five children.
47
The family spends a little over one dollar on food each week.
48
Food does not cost as much here as in some other places.
49
In other countries, where food costs more, this amount would be equal to about $24.
50
Most of their meals are a thick liquid porridge made from the grain sorghum.
51
D’jimia also receives food aid in her refugee camp.
52
Some days the family lacks food.
53
They must make difficult decisions.
54
They must decide who gets more food, and who gets less.
55
These are just a few of the examples of the families in the book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.
56
All of the pictures in the book show the different food cultures of people around the world.
57
Some people grow most of their food on their own land.
58
Other people buy almost everything at a market.
59
Others do not even cook much of their food.
60
They buy food that is already prepared.
61
People reading the book can also see how money influences food.
62
Some families have enough money to eat any kind of food they want.
63
They can buy food imported from other countries at the market.
64
But many people must eat only what grows in their own area, depending on the season.
65
Some families eat a large amount of food.
66
And other families must divide a limited amount of food.
67
The book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats is not about food politics.
68
The book’s authors, D’Aluisio and Menzel, are not exploring why hunger exists in the world.
69
They are only sharing what they experienced.
70
The purpose of the book is to help people understand how other people live.
71
The book also encourages people to look at their own family and how they eat.
72
Remember the Revis family from the United States?
73
After seeing their picture in the book, the Revis family felt shame about the food they were eating.
74
Mrs. Revis told D’Aluisio and Menzel: “Everyone in our family felt very troubled by the large amount and kinds of food on the table for the picture.
75
Before my son eats something now, he will say to me, ‘Mom, how healthy do you think this food is?’ That never happened before”.
76
People have different customs but we share many similarities.
77
D’Aluisio and Menzel found that around the world people love food.
78
And people in every culture love to welcome new friends to eat with their family.
79
What are the cultural food customs in your family?
80
What foods are common in your culture?

背景与上下文
在本期Spotlight节目中，主持人Dave Bast与Liz Waid探讨了全球饮食文化。作家Faith D’Aluisio与摄影师Peter Menzel共同创作了《Hungry Planet: What the World Eats》一书，记录了来自24个国家的30个家庭的饮食习惯，以及饮食如何影响健康与文化。他们的观察和摄影作品不仅呈现了不同地区的饮食习惯，还反映了各国人民的生活方式与价值观。
日常沟通的五个常用短语
- 吃什么？ (What do you eat?) - 询问他人的饮食。
- 你们每周花多少钱买食物？ (How much do you spend on food each week?) - 了解家庭的饮食开销。
- 这是什么地方的特色菜？ (What is the specialty of this place?) - 探索地方美食。
- 在你们国家，什么食材最常用？ (What ingredients are commonly used in your country?) - 了解文化饮食习惯。
- 我想尝试这个！ (I want to try this!) - 表达对食物的兴趣。
逐步影子跟读指南
如果你想在看YouTube学英语时提高英语发音，影子跟读是一种有效的方法。以下是如何逐步进行的指南：
- 选择视频：选择有关饮食或文化主题的视频，如Spotlight节目，帮助你熟悉相关词汇。
- 听取内容：第一次观看时，注意听取整体内容，不用过于关注细节。
- 逐句跟读：在第二次观看时，暂停视频并逐句跟读，模仿语音和语调。
- 记录进度：可以使用文本录音功能，记录你的声音，与原声进行对比，发现并纠正发音错误。
- 重复练习：每天都进行影子跟读，逐渐提高流利度和自信心。利用适合的影子跟读网站，将练习与雅思口语练习结合，帮助你更好地掌握英语。
通过这样的练习，你可以有效提高英语影子跟读能力，增强对英语的理解，并在日常交流中更自信地使用英语。
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 |
|---|---|
| 被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么，而不是谁做的 | is imported · is already prepared · were adapted |
| 过去进行时 was/were + -ing — 过去某一时刻正在进行的动作 | were changing · were eating |
| 义务：must / have to / need to 表示某事是必要的 | must make · must decide · must eat |
| 现在进行时 am/is/are + -ing — 此刻或近期正在发生的事 | are changing · are not exploring · are only sharing |
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。
