Stephanie, the English Coach here from englishfulltime.com in this video, we are going to do shadowing practice.

我是 Stephanie，來自 englishfulltime.com 的英文教練。這支影片我們要來做 shadowing practice。

現在進行式

We're going to work on our pronunciation, natural rhythm, natural intonation, connected speech.

我們要來練習我們的發音、自然的節奏、自然的語調，還有連音。

And just like the last time I made a video like this, we are going to use an email that I wrote myself and sent to my list of email subscribers back in 2020.

就像上次我做類似影片一樣，我們要用一封我自己在 2020 年寫給我的電子郵件訂閱者們的信。

Now, 2020, if you don't remember, was a really crazy year for the entire world.

2020 年，如果你還記得的話，對全世界來說是個非常瘋狂的一年。

That is when the pandemic started and we were all quarantining, we had to stay home.

那時候疫情開始了，我們都在隔離，必須待在家裡。

And for me, on a personal level, the year was hard.

對我個人來說，那一年很難熬。

because of so many other things that I was going through at the time.

因為當時我還經歷了好多好多其他事情。

And because it was such a rough year for me, I had to take breaks from my work and I would just disappear entirely for months at a time.

而且因為那對我來說是很難熬的一年，我必須暫停工作，有時候甚至會消失好幾個月。

And when I sent this email, I really wanted to update my subscribers and tell them and be honest about how I was doing and how I was not doing well, but

然後當我寄出這封電子郵件時，我真的很想更新給我的電子郵件訂閱者，告訴他們，誠實地說出我當時的狀況，以及我過得並不好，但是

So not only is this going to be really great pronunciation practice for you, but

所以這不僅會是很好的發音練習，

you're also going to encounter lots of good, useful words and expressions and vocabulary that I think you will be able to use yourself when you are talking about rough times in your own life.

你還會遇到很多很棒、很有用的詞彙和表達方式，我相信當你談論自己生命中艱難的時刻時，也能自己用上。

Now, before we get started, I just want to let you know that, linked in the description, I have put a free PDF for you in case you want to print out this email.

現在，在我們開始之前，我想讓你知道，在說明欄裡有連結，我放了一個免費的PDF，如果你想把這封電子郵件印出來的話。

Right in the margins, circle things, highlight things, really dig into the material.

直接在邊距，圈出東西，標記東西，深入研究材料。

Of course, I always recommend students do that because that way you can circle the words that you struggle with.

當然，我總是建議學生這樣做，因為這樣你就可以圈出你覺得困難的單字。

You can underline words that are new for you.

你可以畫底線畫出對你來說是新的單字。

It really gets you engaged in the material.

And I'm also going to include an audio file.

So if you really want to practice the shadowing and work hard, you will be able to listen to that audio file again and again without having to listen to this YouTube video and everything that I say in the video, you'll just be able to listen to the material that you're going to shadow and practice that.

所以如果你真的想做 shadowing practice，並且努力練習，你就可以一次又一次地聽那個音訊檔，而不用聽這個 YouTube 影片，以及我在影片裡說的所有話，你只需要聽你要 shadowing practice 的材料。

Okay, so in just a second, I'm going to start reading the email so you can hear how it sounds again.

好的，馬上我就要開始唸這封電子郵件了，這樣你就可以再次聽到它的聲音。

Listen to the rhythm, listen to the way I connect words, listen to my intonation.

聽聽那個節奏，聽聽我連音的方式，聽聽我的語調。

You really want to try to match my sounds, match my pace, like how fast I'm reading, match my rhythm, how I'm linking the words.

你真的要試著去模仿我的發音，模仿我的語速，就像我唸的速度有多快，模仿我的節奏，我如何連音。

Words that I am lengthening, words that I'm shortening.

我拉長音的字，我縮短音的字。

And the intonation, right, the rise and fall, the melody of the words.

然後是語調，對吧，高低起伏，詞語的旋律。

And then after I do this reading, I'm going to go over a few of the longer words and break them down for you just in case you're struggling a little bit with the pronunciation.

然後在我唸完之後，我會挑幾個比較長的單字來做分解，以防你在發音上遇到一些困難。

So we'll have like a mini pronunciation lesson at the end of the video.

所以我們會在影片的最後，來個小小的發音教學。

And by the way, I am going to be reading off of my computer screen, which is right below the camera in case it looks funny, because I will be looking down a little bit.

對了，我會看著電腦螢幕唸，螢幕就在鏡頭下方，如果看起來有點奇怪，是因為我會稍微往下看。

When 2020 first started, I said this was gonna be my year.

2020年剛開始的時候，我說這將會是我的年度。

But this year, this was going to be the year for all things good.

但今年，這一年將會是所有美好事物的開始。

Enjoying hobbies, growing the business, going on vacation and leaving my work at home.

享受興趣、發展事業、去度假並把工作留在公司。

Finally getting control of my bad habits and living with incred drive and.

終於能控制我的壞習慣，並充滿動力地生活。

Quarantined and locked down around the world.

Sending memes about toilet paper and standing in line for hours just to get groceries.

傳送關於衛生紙的梗圖，還有排隊好幾個小時只為了買雜貨。

我們現在活在一個多麼奇怪的世界啊。

I have no idea what life is like where you live, but

我不知道你那裡的生活是什麼樣子，但

if you're practicing social distancing like the rest of us, then chances are you're pretty bored.

如果你也像我們其他人一樣在練習社交距離，那很可能你現在很無聊。

But truth be told, I've been practicing social distancing long before it was a buzzword on the news.

但說實話，在「社交距離」成為新聞熱門詞彙之前，我就已經在練習社交距離了。

I was practicing all kinds of distancing, especially social media distancing.

我練習各種距離，特別是社群媒體距離。

Because this year, unfortunately, has been one of the hardest years of my life so far, and

因為今年，很不巧地，是我人生中最艱難的一年之一，而且

it has nothing to do with any kind of virus.

I don't want to get into the details, but

I'll just say that I was dealing with some serious stuff that sent me into a deep depression, made me lose the will to keep going, and

我只能說我當時正經歷一些嚴重的狀況，讓我陷入深度憂鬱，失去繼續下去的動力，而且

finally had me calling therapists to get help.

最後我不得不打電話給心理治療師尋求幫助。

It's the kind of ugly stuff that no one wants to talk about.

這是那種沒人想談的醜陋事情。

It's easier to go through life pretending everything is always peachy, but it's not.

人生中，假裝一切都好總是比較容易，但事實並非如此。

而我從來不是那種會假裝的人。

I can't make videos and teach English when I feel awful because people can read my face like a book.

當我感覺糟透了的時候，我沒辦法拍影片教英文，因為大家都能看穿我的臉。

I'm as transparent as a window and people.

So I knew I needed to get myself in check before continuing with my work.

所以我知道我必須先讓自己好起來，才能繼續我的工作。

I've had endless stress, migraines, insomnia, and

我承受了無止盡的壓力、偏頭痛、失眠，還有

a lot more and that's weird because it takes a lot to push me over the edge.

很多很多，這很奇怪，因為要讓我崩潰需要很大的力道。

總之，我為什麼要告訴你們這些？

Because I'm finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

因為我終於看到隧道盡頭的光了。

I am finally smiling again, laughing and genuinely happy.

我終於又開始笑了，大笑，而且是發自內心的開心。

My drive is coming back and I'm finally getting back to so many projects that were put on hold, like the new version of Connect and Communicate and the pronunciation course I'm making.

我的動力又回來了，我終於可以重新開始那些被擱置的許多計畫，像是 Connect and Communicate 的新版本，還有我正在做的發音課程。

I want you to know that we all go through ups and downs.

我想讓你知道，我們都會經歷高低起伏。

Maybe you are even going through a really difficult time right now.

也許你現在正經歷一段非常艱難的時光。

There will be light at the end of the tunnel.

There are people who love you and there are people who want to help you.

有愛你的人，也有想幫助你的人。

Today I'm sitting in my new office and getting organized.

今天我坐在我的新辦公室裡，開始整理。

I just started renting it two days ago and it feels good to finally have a place where I can focus on my work, on helping you.

我兩天前才剛開始租，終於有一個可以讓我專心工作、幫助你們的地方，感覺真好。

I just wanted to let everyone know I'm alive and well, or rather getting better.

我只是想讓大家知道我還活著，而且越來越好。

And I hope to get back on social media soon.

希望很快就能回到社群媒體上。

I hope you're doing well and that you are taking advantage of all the downtime to relax and be productive while will be in touch.

希望你們一切都好，並且好好利用這段時間放鬆、充實，我們很快會再聯繫。

Now it's funny because I actually did not end up finishing the new version of Connect and Communicate, although I still plan on doing that.

有趣的是，我其實沒有完成 Connect and Communicate 的新版本，雖然我還是打算做。

But I moved on to other projects, or I should say I chose to focus on other projects instead.

但我轉向了其他專案，或者說我選擇專注於其他專案。

And I did end up making the pronunciation course.

In fact, I made a couple and the big one is an absolute beast.

事實上，我做了好幾個，其中一個是個超級大專案。

But basically in the Accent Freedom program, you go from learning the basics of pronunciation, like just the sounds, to how to link them, American rhythm, intonation, connected speech reductions, all of that.

但基本上，在 Accent Freedom 課程裡，你會從學習發音的基礎開始，像是單純的聲音，到如何將它們連結起來，美式節奏、語調、連音縮減，所有這些。

And then you end by really finding your own voice in English and choosing how you want to sound.

然後你會學到如何真正找到你自己的英文聲音，並選擇你想要的發音方式。

所以這是一個非常紮實的課程，但是

I cover absolutely everything that you would ever want to know about pronunciation in general in English, but

我涵蓋了你所有想知道的關於英文發音的一切，而且

also speaking speaking and how to speak persuasively and well and eloquently and again, how to find your voice in English so you can use your voice to represent who you are and want to be in English.

還有說話技巧，以及如何說得有說服力、好聽、口才好，再次強調，如何在英文中找到你的聲音，這樣你就可以用你的聲音來展現你是誰，以及你想在英文中成為什麼樣的人。
