1
You're up in the middle of the night and again you're in trouble in love.
2
You had another discussion over dinner.
3
You tried to get them to see that sometimes
4
because of X you do Y and they respond with Z and it's unpleasant.
5
And they countered at first politely and then with mounting irritation
6
that even though A you think B and that's why C is maddening to them.
7
Both of you tried, pretty valiantly, to get your points across with calm and kindness.
8
Both of you managed to be more or less polite, more or less restrained, more or less grown up.
9
And by the end of two hours of conversation, you parted in an almost affectionate way and went to sleep in different rooms.
10
But it's not enough and you know it.
11
That's why you're up at 3am hearing the rain fall.
12
You're pursued by questions.
13
What do you keep doing wrong in love?
14
Do you even belong together with this obviously very nice person?
15
Why is it so hard?
16
You briefly wonder what it would be like to leave.
17
You picture some new dates.
18
But the picture soon curdles.
19
The horror of starting all over again with someone new.
20
You'd miss your partner.
21
You have a lot of shared memories.
22
There used to be, until quite recently, considerable hope.
23
You don't know what to do.
24
If only there was someone to speak to.
25
A wise, kind person who would know how to cut through this.
26
Then you realise that more than a solution, what you really want is someone who could understand how hard it is that there isn't one.
27
Someone who would just say, I know, I know.
28
Sometimes we don't need solutions.
29
We need sympathy for our impasses.
30
We need to know that we're not idiots for having the challenges we have.
31
That other sensible people have been here too.
32
That it could almost be okay to have this difficulty forever.
33
Maybe it's just one of life's givens.
34
That's when a bracing, pessimistic philosophy is called for.
35
The sort that says, of course you're miserable, you're alive.
36
Of course it's a mess.
37
Welcome to existence.
38
Of course love is a bit impossible.
39
You're a human being.
40
This isn't the first choice, naturally naturally.
41
You wanted to sort this out perfectly, the way you like to sort out other things perfectly, at work, in domestic life.
42
But this isn't a cupboard or an accounting document.
43
The number of people who have this area of life properly sorted out is minuscule, perhaps below 1%.
44
You have failed here, that's for sure, but you're not exceptionally stupid for that.
45
You're averagely mad, averagely emotionally perturbed,
46
and what you're trying to do is something exceptionally, extraordinarily, dementedly hard.
47
Poor you and poor all of us.

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。
