Okay, before we begin your speaking practice, I want to explain what shadowing is and what I'm going to ask you to do in this video.
好的，在开始你的口语练习之前，我想先解释一下什么是“影子练习”（shadowing），以及在这个视频中我会要求你做些什么。
When shadowing, you repeat what someone is saying with as little delay as possible.
在进行“影子跟随”（即模仿某人的言行）时，你应该尽可能快速地重复对方所说的话，尽量减少延迟。
It's not repeat after me, it's speak along with me.
这不是要求你“跟着我重复我说的话”，而是要求你“和我一起说”。
So while I speak, you speak too, trying to match my speech patterns, my intonation and pronunciation.
因此，当我讲话时，你们也在同时讲话，试图模仿我的说话方式、语调和发音。
This is a great way to improve your speaking, especially if you don't have anyone to speak with.
这是一个提高口语表达能力的绝佳方法，尤其是当你身边没有可以练习说话的对象时。
It feels a bit weird at first, but once you understand and know the technique, you can use literally any audio you want to practise more.
一开始可能会觉得有点奇怪，但一旦你掌握了这种技巧，就可以使用任何你想用来练习的音频资料了。
Just choose a person who you want to sound like and go for it.
只需选择一位你希望模仿其风格的人，然后就开始模仿吧。
Okay, I'm going to tell you a story about something slightly embarrassing that happened to Will and me last week.
好吧，我打算给你们讲一个关于上周发生在威尔和我身上的一件有点尴尬的事情的故事。
Some of the vocabulary might be new for you.
其中一些词汇对你来说可能是新的。
Don't worry, I've put a full list of vocab in the PDF.
别担心，我把所有的词汇都列在了 PDF 文件里。
When shadowing, the primary focus is not on the grammar or the vocabulary.
在进行“影子跟读”（shadowing）练习时，主要关注的点并不是语法或词汇。
