跟读练习: Your Skeleton Is Electric - 通过视频学习英语口语
正在创建课程...
1
Your bones produce real electricity.
2
Collagen molecules, your bones' protein building blocks, contain charged groups of atoms.
3
As you walk, your bones compress and the molecules slip past each other, creating an imbalance of charges like a tiny battery.
4
Scientists call this piezoelectricity.
5
Luckily, this charge can't shock you.
6
To light an LED for one second, you'd need to walk for 19 years.
7
But these tiny jolts are part of a vital process your skeleton is constantly being rebuilt, directing this process of 42 billion osteocyte cells.
8
Every step drives fluid through tiny tunnels around these cells, generating another faint electrical signal.
9
Normally, osteocytes tell bone -building cells to keep away so your bones don't become huge everywhere.
10
But when your bones are stressed, your cells get the signal to call the builders in, adding new soft bone where it's needed.
11
Some scientists think collagen's piezoelectric charge is what attracts the minerals that harden the bone.
12
The precise mechanisms are still debated, but it's why exercise is good for more than just building muscle.
13
So even in your 60s, weightlifting can stop your bones from thinning and bulk up your spine.

如何用这段视频练习
- 先完整听一遍视频，不要开口，记下不认识的单词。
- 先用 0.75 倍速逐句跟读，熟练之后再回到正常速度。
- 录下自己的声音并与原声对比，特别注意 bone, scientist, molecule 这类单词。
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。
