1
It's not an illustrious category to belong to, of course, but there are plenty of us at least.
2
We worry about work, money, being left, illness, disappointing, over-promising, madness, disgrace, just to start the list.
3
We worry in the early hours, we worry on holiday, we worry at parties, and we worry all the time while we're trying to smile and seem normal to good people who depend on us.
4
Thus, it can feel pretty unbearable at moments.
5
A standard approach when trying to assuage our blizzard of worries is to look at each in turn and marshal sensible arguments against their probabilities.
6
But it can, at points, also be helpful not to look at the specifics of every worry and instead to consider the overall position that worry has come to occupy in our lives.
7
There is a hugely fascinating sentence on the topic in an essay by the great English psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott.
8
The catastrophe you fear will happen has in fact already happened.
9
When we worry, we're naturally fixated on what will occur next.
10
It's the future with its boundless possibilities for horror that is the natural arena for exploration by our panicked thoughts.
11
But in Winnicott's unexpected thesis, something else is revealed.
12
The disaster that we fear is going to unfold is actually behind us.
13
There is a paradox here.
14
Why do we keep expecting something to happen that's already happened?
15
Why don't we better distinguish past from present?
16
Winnicott's answer is that it's in the nature of traumatic events from childhood not to be properly processed and as a result, like the dead who have not been adequately buried and mourned, to start to haunt us indiscriminately in adulthood.
17
For example, we may panic that we are about to be humiliated and shamed.
18
There are no particularly strong grounds for this in objective reality, but we are utterly convinced nevertheless because this is precisely what happened to us when we were tiny and at the hands of a parent.
19
Or we worry intensely that we are about to be abandoned in love, not Not because our partner is in any significant way disloyal, but because someone who once looked after us at a very vulnerable point definitely was.
20
A benefit of understanding how much our worries owe to childhood is a new sense that it isn't so much the future we should be distressed about as the past.
21
We can replace dread and apprehension with something sadder yet ultimately more redemptive.
22
Mourning.
23
we can feel profoundly sorry for our younger selves as an alternative to being panicked for our future selves.
24
Appreciating the childhood legacy of worries, we also stand to realise that we can adapt and improve on how we respond to what alarms us.
25
If we have been well-parented, we will have been bequeathed a repertoire good moves to latch onto when crises occur.
26
We know how to reach out, seek help, perhaps move away and only take as much responsibility as we are due.
27
We have access to a corridor through our troubles.
28
But when we have lacked this kind of tutelage, we remain in significant ways in relation to our troubles like the frightened children we once were.
29
We may be tall, drive a car and sound like a grown-up, but faced with concerns, we resort to our toolkit of childlike solutions.
30
We overreact, we go silent, we scream, we have little sense of other options, we feel extremely limited in our powers of protest and agency, we lose all perspective.
31
To which it's appropriate, and in no way patronising, to remind ourselves of what can, in our deeper psychological selves, still be an entirely implausible thought.
32
we are now adults.
33
In other words, in response to the kinds of terror we knew so well at the age of four or eight, we don't have to be either as afraid or as powerless as we were.
34
We can mount a direct protest, we can make an eloquent case for ourselves, we can complain and defend our position, we can rebuild our lives in a new way elsewhere.
35
There are two ways to mitigate risk.
36
To try to remove all risk from the world or to work on one's attitude to risk.
37
Knowing that many of our fears have childhood antecedents, as do our responses to them, can free us to imagine that history won't have to repeat itself exactly.
38
Adult life doesn't have to be as terrifying as our childhoods once were, and our responses to our fears can have some of the greater vigour and confidence that is the natural privilege of grown-ups.
39
We'll still be worried a substantial portion of the time, but perhaps with a little less fragility and fewer burning convictions of total, upcoming catastrophe.

练习建议

要有效地进行shadowing,学习者可以关注视频的语速和语调。建议: 1. **分段练习**:首先,选择视频的短段落进行练习,随着时间的推移逐渐增加段落的长度,帮助自己适应不同语速。 2. **模仿语调**:注意演讲者在不同情境下的语调变化,例如在表达焦虑时的语气,这有助于加深对情感表达的理解。 3. **重复练习**:多次观看同一段视频,并在每次观看后尝试复述视频中的关键短语,这种方式能够有效提高口语流利度和自信心。 4. **与他人交流**:可以找伙伴一起观看视频并进行讨论,尝试将视频中的内容应用到日常对话中,这种互动能加深理解并提升表达能力。

通过这些练习,学习者将能够在看YouTube学英语或其他平台中,利用shadowing技巧,更好地掌握英语语音和语调,达到更高的口语水平。

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。
