1
Mr. Zuckerberg, let me start with you.
2
Did I hear you say in your opening statement that there's no link between mental health and social media use?
3
Senator, what I said is I think it's important to look at the science.
4
I know it's people widely talk about this as if that is something that's already been proven.
5
And I think that the bulk of the scientific evidence does not support that.
6
Well, really, let me just remind you of some of the science from your own company.
7
Instagram studied the effect of your platform on teenagers.
8
Let me just read you some quotes from the Wall Street Journal's report on this.
9
Company researchers found that Instagram is harmful for a sizable percentage of teenagers, most notably teenage girls.
10
Here's a quote from your own study.
11
Quote, we make body image issues worse for one in three teen girls.
12
Here's another quote.
13
Teens blamed Instagram.
14
This is your study for increases in the rate of anxiety and depression.
15
This reaction was unprompted and consistent across all groups.
16
That's your study.
17
Senator, we try to understand the feedback and how people feel about the services.
18
We can improve.
19
Wait a minute.
20
Your own study says that you make life worse for one in three teenage girls.
21
You increase anxiety and depression.
22
That's what it says.
23
And you're here testifying to us in public that there's no link.
24
You've been doing this for years.

For years you've been coming in public and testifying under oath that there's absolutely no link.
26
Your product is wonderful.
27
The science is nascent.
28
Full speed ahead.
29
While internally you know full well your product is a disaster for teenagers.
30
And yet you keep right on doing what you're doing.
31
Right?
32
That's not true.
33
That's not true.
34
Let me show you some other facts I know that you're familiar with.
35
You can carry the data points if you want.
36
That's not a question.
37
That's not a question.
38
Those are facts, Mr. Zuckerberg.
39
That's not a question.
40
Those aren't facts.

Let me show you some more facts.
42
Here are some information from a whistleblower who came before the Senate, testified under oath in public.
43
He worked for you.
44
He's a senior executive.
45
Here's what he showed he found when he studied your products.

37 percent of them reported that they had been exposed to nudity on the platform unwanted in the last seven days.

17% said they had encountered self-harm content pushed at them in the last seven days.

52
I mean, we've got a copy of it right here.
53
My question is, who did you fire for this?
54
Who got fired because of that?
55
Senator, we study all this because it's important and we want to improve our services.
56
Well, you just told me a second ago that you studied it, but there was no linkage. Who did you fire?
57
I said you mischaracterized 37% of teenage girls between 13 and 15 were exposed to unwanted nudity in a week on Instagram.
58
You knew about it.
59
Who did you fire?
60
Senator, this is why we're building all.
61
Who did you fire?

82
Are you going to compensate them?

练习技巧
在本视频中，扎克伯格的演讲速度和语气变化较大，学习者在进行影子跟读时需注意以下几点：
- 首先，慢速练习。先将视频速度减慢，以便准确捕捉每一个单词的发音，尤其是术语如“心理健康”和“社交媒体”等。
- 其次，要模仿语气。注意扎克伯格说话时的自信和坚定，通过模仿他的语气，可以提高自身的英语流利度。
- 再者，尽量进行分段练习。可以将视频拆分成小段，逐段进行shadow speech，每段结束后重复所学内容。
- 同时，关注语调和停顿。在关键句子，如关于心理健康影响的部分，练习如何在适当的地方停顿，以增强句子的表现力。
- 最后，使用总结反思。在练习之后，思考所学的关键短语和表达，确保能够在日常对话中灵活使用。
通过以上技巧，学习者将能够在该课程中更有效地进行shadowing练习，提升自己的发音准确性，为提高英语发音和交流能力打下坚实基础。
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。
