Billions of people deal with a nail-biting habit at some point in their lives.
0:07.04 – 0:11.88 (4.8s)
2
Many will go to great lengths to try to stop, employing strategies like rubbing chili peppers on their cuticles, wearing gloves all day, dipping their hands in salt, and envisioning bacteria crawling on their fingers.
0:12.01 – 0:24.73 (12.7s)
3
And while not all of us are nail-biters, most of us do have a habit we'd like to kick.
0:25.06 – 0:30.82 (5.8s)
4
So what's the best way to break one?
0:30.94 – 0:32.82 (1.9s)
5
Scientists define habits as behaviors that are performed regularly, and cued subconsciously in response to certain environments, whether it be a location, time of day, or even an emotional state.
0:33.24 – 0:45.04 (11.8s)
6
They can include simple actions like picking your hair when stressed, but also more complex practices ingrained in daily routines, like staying up late or brewing your coffee in the morning.
0:45.25 – 0:56.64 (11.4s)
7
If you do something frequently, without much deliberation, then it’s likely a habit.
0:56.84 – 1:01.97 (5.1s)
8
They form because at some point your brain learns that the behavior is beneficial.
1:02.27 – 1:08.31 (6.0s)
9
Let's say after opening a stressful email, you bite your nails.
1:08.31 – 1:11.65 (3.3s)
10
This is rewarding, as it’s enough to focus your attention, curbing your email fueled anxiety.
1:11.73 – 1:17.99 (6.3s)
11
Within your brain, positive experiences can trigger the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that mediates feelings of pleasure.
1:18.03 – 1:26.04 (8.0s)
12
Dopamine is also a driver of neuroplasticity, meaning it can change how your neurons wire and fire.
1:26.58 – 1:34.30 (7.7s)
13
Your brain builds connections that link the reward with the behavior, driving you to repeat it.
1:34.80 – 1:41.30 (6.5s)
14
It also starts associating the behavior with other cues, like your environment.
1:41.51 – 1:46.35 (4.8s)
15
Eventually, all it takes is the context of sitting at your desk to subconsciously trigger a nail-biting habit— no stressful email or sense of relief required.
1:46.39 – 1:57.03 (10.6s)
16
Once established, these cue-behavior-reward loops work fast, outpacing the decision-making process.
1:57.74 – 2:06.25 (8.5s)
17
You may find yourself engaging in a habit before you have the chance to notice and stop.
2:06.29 – 2:11.38 (5.1s)
18
But this can be a good thing because not all habits are bad.
2:11.63 – 2:15.63 (4.0s)
19
They’re stored memories of what’s worked in the past, which allow you to take swift action in the present.
2:15.88 – 2:22.93 (7.0s)
20
One study estimated that on average, people spend more than 40% of their days performing regularly repeated behaviors while their minds are occupied with other thoughts.
2:23.18 – 2:33.27 (10.1s)
21
A seemingly automated morning routine, for example, saves you both time and precious mental energy.
2:33.27 – 2:39.49 (6.2s)
22
Still, many people have habits that no longer serve them.
2:39.95 – 2:43.41 (3.5s)
23
Yet research shows that intentions alone often fail to lead to long-term behavior change.
2:43.58 – 2:49.71 (6.1s)
24
This isn’t to say you can’t break a habit.
2:49.92 – 2:52.63 (2.7s)
25
Rather, by understanding the basis of habits, you can create better plans for changing them.
2:52.63 – 2:58.76 (6.1s)
26
For example, we know habits are often cued by environments and routines.
2:59.30 – 3:04.39 (5.1s)
27
Lying in bed may cause you to endlessly scroll through your phone, or watching TV on the couch may lead you to grab a sugary snack.
3:04.39 – 3:12.48 (8.1s)
28
One of the most effective ways to manage behavior is to identify these locations or times of day.
3:12.48 – 3:18.99 (6.5s)
29
Then try to modify them by changing your routine or creating obstacles that make it more difficult to perform the habit in that space.
3:19.15 – 3:27.62 (8.5s)
30
Moving, switching jobs, or even starting a new schedule, are particularly great times to break a habit or build a new one.
3:27.95 – 3:35.84 (7.9s)
31
One 2005 study tracked university students’ exercising, reading, and TV watching habits before and after they transferred schools.
3:36.21 – 3:44.84 (8.6s)
32
When students were no longer around old environments and routines, their habits, even the strong ones, significantly changed.
3:44.89 – 3:52.56 (7.7s)
33
For behaviors like nail-biting or hair-pulling, a practice called habit reversal training can be helpful.
3:52.90 – 3:59.53 (6.6s)
34
Developed by psychologists in the 1970s, the aim is to change a habit by replacing it with another one that’s less detrimental.
3:59.57 – 4:08.08 (8.5s)
35
The training requires you to analyze and understand your habit cues, so you can effectively intervene at the right times.
4:08.33 – 4:15.54 (7.2s)
36
For example, if you tend to bite your nails at work, preemptively keep a fidget toy at your desk.
4:15.63 – 4:20.97 (5.3s)
37
Then, if a stressful email comes in, use the toy when you feel the urge to bite your nails.
4:21.13 – 4:26.43 (5.3s)
38
Breaking a habit takes time, so remember to give yourself grace and have patience through the process.
4:26.97 – 4:32.77 (5.8s)
39
And while many focus on their bad habits, it’s also worth celebrating the good ones that help us move swiftly and successfully through our daily routines.
4:32.89 – 4:41.69 (8.8s)

关于本课

欢迎来到这节深入探讨人类习惯的英语学习课程！本视频内容引人入胜，它将带您了解习惯的形成机制、大脑在其中扮演的角色（如多巴胺和神经可塑性），以及如何有效戒掉坏习惯或培养好习惯。通过本课，您将不仅仅是学习英语，更能掌握实用的心理学知识。

在英语口语练习中，您将有机会：

  • 词汇主题：学习与心理学、行为科学、日常习惯和自我提升相关的核心词汇和短语。例如，描述习惯的触发因素、大脑反应以及改变行为的策略。
  • 语法模式：练习使用描述因果关系、解释复杂过程、举例说明和提出建议的句型。这对于构建清晰、有逻辑的表达能力至关重要。
  • 口语场景：提升您在讨论抽象概念、科学解释、个人发展策略等方面的口语能力。这些技能对于参加如雅思口语这类学术性考试的Part 3讨论部分非常有帮助，能有效提高您的英语流利度。

重要词汇和短语

  • nail-biting habit (咬指甲的习惯): 指一种常见的紧张或焦虑时出现的行为习惯。
  • go to great lengths (不遗余力，竭尽所能): 表示为达到某个目标而付出巨大的努力和代价。
  • kick a habit (戒掉一个习惯): 口语中常用来指成功停止一个不好的习惯。
  • cued subconsciously (潜意识地被触发): 描述某种行为在没有明确意识的情况下被环境或情境所引发。
  • ingrained in daily routines (根深蒂固于日常习惯中): 指某种行为已经成为日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。
  • trigger the release of dopamine (触发多巴胺的释放): 解释大脑中奖励机制的关键生理过程。
  • neuroplasticity (神经可塑性): 指大脑根据经验改变自身结构和功能的能力。
  • habit reversal training (习惯逆转训练): 一种心理学方法，通过替换行为来改变不良习惯。

本视频练习技巧

要最大化本视频对您英语口语练习的价值，请尝试以下跟读技巧：

  • 语速与节奏：视频中的语速中等偏快，发音清晰。建议初学者可以从略低于原速开始，逐步提高，直到能自然地匹配原速。注意捕捉句子的停顿和语调变化，这对于提升英语流利度至关重要。
  • 发音与口音：视频内容由母语者朗读，发音标准。在进行发音练习时，请密切模仿视频中单词的发音、重音以及句子的升降调。特别是那些专业术语，如“dopamine”和“neuroplasticity”，要反复跟读，确保发音准确。
  • 话题难度：视频内容涉及心理学和神经科学，话题具有一定的深度和专业性。这对于准备雅思口语Part 3这类需要讨论复杂社会和科学话题的考生来说，是极佳的练习素材。尝试暂停视频，用自己的话复述或总结刚刚听到的内容，以此锻炼您的概括和解释能力。
  • 深入理解与表达：除了单纯的模仿，尝试理解每一句话背后的逻辑和含义。当您能够将这些复杂的概念用流利的英语表达出来时，您的口语能力将得到显著提升。

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。

如何在ShadowingEnglish上有效练习

  1. 选择您的视频： 挑选一段语音清晰、自然的YouTube视频。TED演讲，BBC新闻，电影片段，播客或雅思口语范例都很好。将URL粘贴到搜索栏中。从较短的视频（短于5分钟）以及您真正感兴趣的内容开始——兴趣是最重要的导师。
  2. 先听，理解上下文： 第一次听的时候，将速度保持在1倍速并仅仅倾听。还不要尝试重复。专注于理解其含义，收集新词汇，并注意讲话人如何强调单词，连读声音及使用停顿。
  3. 设置跟读模式：
    • 等待模式：选择 +3s 或 +5s ——在每句话播放完毕后，视频会自动暂停以便您有时间大声重复它。如果您想完全控制并在每次重复后由您自己点击下一步，请选择 手动。
    • 字幕同步：YouTube字幕有时会在音频前或后略微出现。使用 ±100ms 使它们完美对齐以助您准确跟读。
  4. 大声跟读（核心练习）： 这是真正发生改变的一步。当一个句子播放出来立刻——或在暂停期间——大声、清晰且自信地重复出来。千万不要只是张张嘴：要模仿说话者的准确节奏、重音、音高和连读。力求听上去就像说话者的影子，而不仅是逐字背诵。使用重复功能多次练习同一个句子，直到感觉自然为止。
  5. 提高难度： 当练习段落变得相对舒适后，就去挑战自我。将速度增加至 <code>1.25x</code> 或甚至 <code>1.5x</code> 以训练高速语言反射。或者将等待模式调整为 <code>关闭</code> 以进行连续跟读——这是最进阶同样收益最大的模式。持续的每日15–30分钟的练习将可以在几周内产生可见的效果。
