    今天我要來告訴你們 如何在家自己練習說英文

  • only materials that you definitely have access to

    只用你手邊絕對可以找到的方式來學習

  • Now I bet you've heard this advice a lot.

    我敢說你肯定聽過以下建議無數次

  • In order to become a good English speaker and to speak in conversation you have to speak

    為了要變成一個很會說英文的人或是 用英文來對話

  • English a lot.

    你必須要說很多的英文

  • Preferably with native speakers.

    最好是跟母語人士做溝通

  • And yes, this is true.

    沒錯 這是事實

  • To become a good English speaker, the best and easiest way is to speak English in conversation

    為了成為一個很會說英文的人 最好且最簡單的方式就是用多英文

  • a lot.

    來對話

  • I've given the same advice on my YouTube channel

    在我的Youtube頻道上 我也給予了相同建議

  • However unless you live in an English speaking country, or use English every day at work,

    不過 除非你住在英語系國家 或是每天工作都會用到英文

  • I bet you thought to yourself

    不然我敢打賭妳一定會說

  • "But I don't have any chances to speak English.

    "但是我沒有機會說英文啊!"

  • I don't have anybody to speak English with!"

    "我沒有可以一起說英文的人陪我!"

  • And yes, this is a problem for a lot of people.

    沒錯 這是很多人的問題

  • others, on the other hand, have many chances to speak English.

    另一方面來說 有一些人有很多機會可以說英文

  • However they lack the confidence to make use of these chances.

    但是 他們卻缺乏自信來好好利用這些機會

  • Perhaps they are shy.

    或許是他們很害羞吧

  • Or perhaps they learned English only from textbooks with their eyes and they feel their

    又或者是他們只"讀"課本來學英文 然後覺得

  • pronunciation is not good enough.

    他們的發音不夠好

  • And they don't know how to say the things that they want to say.

    而且也不知道如何表達他們想要說的事情

  • Today I'm going to teach you a technique that both of these kinds of people can use to improve

    今天我要來教你一個技巧 來讓這兩種人來使用

  • their English speaking skills and pronunciation.

    並且改善他們的英語口說以及發音

  • This technique is of course, shadowing.

    這方法當然是 "跟讀法"

  • The idea behind shadowing is simple.

    跟讀法背後的概念其實很簡單

  • You listen to some English, and you repeat it at the same time.

    你聽英文 然後同時間跟著說出來

  • It could be a conversation or it could be a monologue.

    它可以是一段對話 或是一段獨白

  • It doesn't matter.

    這都無所謂

  • But you're listening and you're repeating at the same time.

    但是你同時間都在聽而且複誦

  • Now, this does several things for you.

    而這可以幫你幾件事

  • The first thing that it does for you is it trains your ear to listen very very carefully

    首先 它訓練你耳朵仔細小心地聽

  • to the way that things are said.

    你所聽到的內容

  • To the tone and the rhythm in which phrases are said.

    聽清楚片語的音調以及速度

  • And the length and the number of pauses that are used in speech.

    還有在說話當中停頓的長度以及次數

  • Because if you can't hear these things you can't copy them so in order to copy them you

    因為如果你沒辦法聽清楚這些東西 你就無法跟著複誦 為了要能跟上

  • have to become very good at hearing them.

    你必須要會聽這些重點

  • So very quickly your ear will become very accustomed to the rhythm and the tone and

    很快地 你的耳朵會變得習慣英文的聲韻以及語調

  • way that people speak.

    還有人們說英文的方式

  • The second thing that it will do is it will really improve your pronunciation and your

    再來 跟讀法能確實地改善你的發音

  • accent.

    以及你的口音

  • This is because you will get so good at listening to the way that things are said, to the pronunciation,

    這是因為你聽力已經好到可以了解所有重點 還有發音

  • that you will be able to copy it.

    這讓你有能力進行複誦

  • It will also get your mouth muscles moving in the correct way and it will train you to

    跟讀法也會讓你嘴巴的肌肉在講英文時 正確地活動

  • move your mouth properly when you are speaking.

    它也訓練你在講話的同時 適當的運作

  • This will help you speak more smoothly.

    整體來說 就會讓你更順暢地講英文

  • Again, with improved pronunciation.

    也就是 你會改善發音 擁有以上的好處

  • In another video I will show you a slightly more advanced way to do shadowing which will help

    在另一個影片中 我會讓你們看到進階版的跟讀法

  • you remember massive quantities of phrases and vocabulary.

    進階版本能讓你記住大量片語以及字彙的內容

  • But today I'm going to demonstrate the basic version of shadowing.

    但是今天 我要示範最基本的跟讀法

  • So as I said, first you need to find some audio to use for shadowing.

    所以當我說 第一 你需要先找到音檔來練習跟讀法

  • It could be a TV show or it could be a radio programme it could be a podcast or it could

    它可以是電視秀或是 收音機的節目 也可以是 播客

  • be an audiobook it could be anything like that.

    甚至是有聲書 類似這些

  • It should be to your level so if you are a beginner don't try to use something very advanced.

    你選的音檔要符合你的程度 所以如果你是初學者 別用太高階的教材

  • Try to use something at your level.

    使用適合你程度的檔案

  • Maybe just a tiny bit more difficult is OK.

    或是稍微難一點也是可以的

  • But it should be fairly easy for you because the exercise is not to improve your comprehension

    但是你應該要覺得非常簡單 因為這個練習不是要增進你的理解力

  • the exercise is for you to improve your pronunciation and your speaking and really train your mouth

    而是要讓你改善發音 還有你的口說 還有

  • to move as it should.

    訓練你的嘴型怎麼動

  • OK, so I'm going to demonstrate today using some materials that I designed especially

    好 我今天要用一些我特別設計來

  • for shadowing.

    示範跟讀法的教材

  • Let's go!

    一起來吧!

  • So I'm going to be demonstrating shadowing today using some special materials that I

    我今天要示範跟讀法

  • designed just for shadowing.

    而我特別設計的教材就是來練習跟讀法的

  • They're a kind of short story.

    教材就是短篇故事

  • and I've printed out a text here and I have an MP3 which I've recorded which is on my

    我把內容印出來 我也有錄好的MP3檔

  • computer just behind this camera.

    是事前在電腦上先錄好的

  • I have read the text several times and I've looked up any new words in the dictionary.

    我把內容念了好幾遍 也把新的單字用字典查好了

  • I understand it perfectly.

    我已經非常了解了

  • I've also listened to the MP3 several times so it's kind of easy for me now.

    我也把音檔聽了好幾遍 所以現在對我來說比較容易

  • I understand it really well.

    我非常的瞭解這篇故事了

  • So now I just want to be able to say this really easily.

    所以現在我只想把這篇故事簡單的說出來

  • I'm going to demonstrate with this.

    我開始要用這篇來示範了

  • I should point out that because I made these materials I'm going to be shadowing my own

    我應該要先說 由於是我做的教材 所以由我來示範

  • voice, which is a little bit strange to be honest.

    可能會有點奇怪

  • You should be shadowing a native speaker.

    你應該要向母語人士做跟讀法

  • The goal is to copy that speaker so closely that you become that speaker.

    你的目標就是盡可能模仿說話者 這樣你才可以變成那個人

  • Every single little pause and the kind of rhythm and everything you should be trying to copy those

    每個小停頓 說話節奏 所有的細節你都應該盡可能

  • as closely as you can.

    盡可能跟上

  • So, again I've read through this and I've listened to the MP3.

    再說一次 我已經讀過這篇短篇故事 也聽了音檔

  • What I'm going to do now, is I'm going to shadow just one time was reading the text. Which

    我現在要做的事 就是作跟讀 念這篇故事

  • is quite easy to do.

    而這很簡單

  • Focus here, and I'm going to hit play.

    注意 我要按撥放鍵了

  • My son and I nearly came to blows over the Olympics.

    我兒子跟我幾乎要因為奧運節目吵起來

  • He came down to stay whilst they were on, and was not impressed with my old 20-inch

    他下來跟我一起看電視的比賽 然後一直嫌我那台老舊的

  • television.

    20吋電視

  • "You're not really going to watch the Olympics on that old thing, are you?" he said to me.

    "你應該不會想那台破舊爛東西看奧運對吧?" 他對我說

  • "TVs like that went out with the ark. Get yourselves something more modern!"

    "那種電視早就過時了 拜託買些比較現代的東西"

  • "There's nothing wrong with this television," I replied, sniffily.

    "這台電視沒什麼不好啊" 我沒好氣地回答

  • "I don't live in a throw-away culture like some people."

    "我可不像某些人活在東西過時就丟了的年代"

  • And then I realised it was a good excuse to upgrade, and quietly went out to buy a new,

    但是我突然想到 這是升級電視的好藉口 然後默默的就出門

  • 40-inch flat screen TV.

    去買新的40吋平面電視

  • Ok, so that was reading the text and that was quite easy because I can already see what's

    好 這就是念文章 而且很簡單 因為

  • coming next.

    我可以看到下句要接著念什麼

  • What I'm going to do now, which is a little more difficult is I'm going to get rid of

    我現在要做的事情 會有點困難 我把稿子放在旁邊

  • the text and now I'm going to shadow without the text.

    然後開始不看稿子作跟讀

  • here we go.

    開始囉

  • 40-inch flat screen TV.

    去買新的40吋平面電視

  • Ok so that was much more difficult, not using the text.

    好 不看稿子 的確比剛剛的難多了

  • I think I did most of that OK, but towards the end I didn't do so great, so I'm just

    我認為剛剛的跟讀大部分都滿好的 但結尾部分就差強人意了

    所以我要再作一次跟讀

    找到一幕是兩個人在說話 然後跟著其中一個人作跟讀

  • again, try to become that speaker.

    一樣 試著去變成說話的人

  • Copy them so closely that it feels like you are that speaker having that conversation,

    模仿並跟著說話 就像你是對話當中的另一個人
