談?wù)撌澄锏腂BC英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力1
Dan: Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English–the show that brings you an interesting topic, authentic listening practice and six items of incredibly useful vocabulary. I'm Dan…
Neil: And I'm Neil. Now, a favourite topic today: food, and how food can influence your mood. Dan, tell me, what food makes you happy?
Dan: Oh, you know, ice cream, chocolate… chocolate always puts a smile on my face.
Neil: And a few inches round your waistline! Sadly, the research we’ll be looking at today doesn’t suggest you eat more chocolate… but it does talk about bacteria!
Dan: Bacteria–those simple, small organisms–they make me happy?
Neil: Absolutely, the so-called ‘good’ bacteria do! We’ll get to that, but first we’ll look at today’s question. How many bacteria are there in the human body?
a) 39 million
b) 39 billion
c) 39 trillion
Dan: They are pretty small. I’m going to go for c) 39 trillion.
Neil: Well, we’ll find out if you’re right… by counting them one by one.
Dan: That’s going to take longer than six minutes!
Neil: Yes it is, so let’s get moving! Scientists believe your mental state is connected to the bacteria in your gut.
Dan: My gut - my stomach and the other organs my food passes through…
Neil: Yes. Researchers at McMaster University in Canada and University College Cork in Ireland have found that certain bacteria help reduce anxiety in mice…
Dan: Anxiety–the state of being worried or anxious. I don’t like the sound of an anxious mouse.
Neil: Well I’m afraid there’s another mouse experiment coming up. Researchers at Kyushu University found germ-free mice showed more stress…
Dan: Germs–a general word for bacteria and microorganisms, usually the ones which cause disease… So germs help reduce stress and anxiety in mice. Any research on humans?
Neil: The BBC TV programme Trust me, I’m a Doctor has just explored this. They looked at foods which are high in ‘good’bacteria–a claim which more and more food products are making these days.
Dan: Yes, it’s a phrase that appears a lot in marketing.
Neil: But many traditional foods are high in good bacteria as well. They found that homemadefermented food was best.
Dan: So things like miso soup, kimchi, yoghurt, sauerkraut – all these are fermented. Have you tried all of those?
Neil: I love miso soup and kimchi. And fermentation is the process where sugars in food are turned into acids and alcohol.
Dan: Fermented foods are full of lots of good bacteria for your gut… Anything else from the BBC programme?
Neil: Well, this is the man behind the BBC study, Dr Michael Mosley. In this clip, a radio presenter asks him about the best kind of food to make us happy.

Presenter
What’s the good mood food? What shall we eat now to cheer ourselves up?
Dr Michael Mosley
Mediterranean diet. Olive oil; oily fish, full of omega 3, which is really good for the brain; whole grains; lots of fruits and vegetables. Sugar: terrible for you.
Presenter
Not chocolate eclairs then?
Dr Michael Mosley
Sadly not. That will make you feel good for about 30 seconds until you finish it and then you feel terribly guilty.
Presenter
Right, ok. Mediterranean it is.
Dan: He said the best kind of food is the Mediterranean diet. Now, a diet can mean 'an eating plan designed to help you lose weight'.
Neil: But that’s not what it means here. Here it refers to the food and drink eaten by a group of people–in this case, the people living around the Mediterranean Sea.
Dan: Lots of oily fish, olive oil, grains, fruits and vegetables. And of course, add in plenty offermented food too.
Neil: And don’t eat too many fatty, sugary, chocolaty things like chocolate eclairs–those are buns filled with cream and covered in chocolate. It’s really not rocket science, is it?
Dan: Eating healthily is pretty straightforward, even if the science behind it is complex. When you say something is not rocket science, you mean 'it’s not difficult to understand'.
Neil: Now, are you ready for some counting?
Dan: Ah yes, you wanted me to count all the bacteria in my body! I said 39 trillion.
Neil: And you were right. The number goes up and down, but on average we’re thought to have around 39 trillion bacterial cells in the body, according to the Weizmann Institute in Israel. The interesting thing is they think that there are only 30 trillion human cells in the body.
Dan: So there’s more bacteria than human in me?
Neil: Well, maybe just you, Dan! Now, before the bacteria take over completely, let’s look over today’s words one more time.
Dan: Gut was first. It means 'the stomach and other organs which digest our food'. But here’s an extra tip - the word can also mean ‘bravery’ when used in the plural. You’ve got guts, Neil, wearing that crazy shirt in this office!
Neil: Why thank you. Maybe I don’t feel any anxiety about how I look! Anxiety was our second word, and it means 'fear or worry'. The adjective is anxious.
Dan: You know what makes me anxious? Germs. I wash my hands fifty times a day. I can’t stand the idea of getting ill from all the germs around here.
Neil: Yes, germs are tiny organisms, and usually refers to those which carry disease. But as we heard, certain germs are good for you!
Dan: Especially those which are in fermented food. That’s food which has gone through a process where sugars turn into acids and alcohol. They often taste sour or bitter.
Neil: We also talk about fermenting alcoholic drinks. Beer and wine are fermented.
Dan: Does that mean I should make them a part of my diet? A diet not only means 'a healthy eating plan', but can also mean 'the foods and drinks consumed by an individual or group'. Which country has the best diet, Neil?
Neil:Well, in my opinion the Japanese diet. It’s my favourite anyway–very varied and plenty offermented food!
Dan: And finally we had–it’s not rocket science–it’s simple to understand. An example?
Neil: Brewing beer isn’t rocket science–you just need hops, yeast and patience.
Dan: And there we are–a rocket speed review of today’s words! And that's the end of today's 6 Minute English. Please join us again soon.
Neil: And we are on social media too. Make sure to visit us on 臉譜網(wǎng), Twitter, Ins and 油管.
Both: Bye!
如何利用BBC提高英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力
第一步、精聽(tīng)BBC慢速英語(yǔ)聽(tīng)力資料
剛開(kāi)始的時(shí)候絕對(duì)不要看原文,尤其對(duì)那些本來(lái)就很清晰的聽(tīng)力資料。這主要是希望大家不要依賴原文,自己一定要一個(gè)單詞一個(gè)單詞的完全聽(tīng)懂。有的同學(xué)說(shuō)我有那么幾個(gè)單詞實(shí)在聽(tīng)不懂怎么辦?
原因:大家想一想,慢速英語(yǔ)的單詞量是1500到2000,也就是說(shuō)一個(gè)比較好的高中生的單詞量已經(jīng)超過(guò)了許多,更何況四六級(jí)都已通過(guò)的你。聽(tīng)不懂的唯一原因絕對(duì)不是生詞的問(wèn)題,只能是你對(duì)這個(gè)單詞的發(fā)音極其陌生,大腦根本沒(méi)有反映。如果讓你看一看原文,你會(huì)不屑一顧的,但在聽(tīng)的時(shí)候卻不知所云?赡芷鸪蹙毩(xí)的時(shí)候有時(shí)為了一個(gè)單詞可以想上整整一天,嘴里老是念道著這個(gè)單詞的發(fā)音。當(dāng)然如果有些同學(xué)說(shuō)這段錄音我已經(jīng)聽(tīng)了十遍了,當(dāng)中的幾個(gè)單詞你就是打死我我也聽(tīng)不出來(lái)。如果真的到了這個(gè)地步,你可以看看原文。
接下來(lái)要做的就是要保證這一段錄音你是完完全全的聽(tīng)懂了。什么是完完全全的聽(tīng)懂了呢?就是每聽(tīng)完一句話,你都能準(zhǔn)確的復(fù)述出來(lái),包括每一個(gè)單詞。這里在語(yǔ)音上不是很好的朋友要注意了,由于是慢速英語(yǔ),所以只要你有正常的聽(tīng)力能力再加上一定的毅力,就完全可以把自己的發(fā)音模仿的和BBC的播音員沒(méi)什么兩樣。如果你按照這樣的方法用心練習(xí),不出一兩個(gè)月,你的發(fā)音就會(huì)有長(zhǎng)足的進(jìn)步。其實(shí)我們大多數(shù)中國(guó)人的模仿發(fā)音天賦都是很好的,隨便叫出一名大學(xué)四級(jí)通過(guò)的大學(xué)生,他(她)的發(fā)音就要比我所見(jiàn)到的意大利人,日本人,菲律賓人的發(fā)音不知要好多少倍。
第二步、同步復(fù)述
現(xiàn)在大家已經(jīng)把這段錄音的意思完全搞懂了,而且能夠惟妙惟肖的基本同步復(fù)述了。請(qǐng)大家注意,直到現(xiàn)在你的大腦還沒(méi)有動(dòng)起來(lái),也就是說(shuō)這些完全是些機(jī)械的模仿,刻板的復(fù)述。這種機(jī)械的重復(fù)對(duì)于我們的口語(yǔ)和開(kāi)口能力是不會(huì)有“事半功倍“的效果的。
要想提高自己的口語(yǔ)水平,在這里就一定要學(xué)會(huì)用自己的話,請(qǐng)注意是用自己的話,而不是照本宣章,把所聽(tīng)到錄音的大意死活說(shuō)出來(lái)。做這一步是在聽(tīng)完整段錄音之后。此時(shí)所說(shuō)的英語(yǔ)才是你真正的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)水平。在練習(xí)中盡量使用剛剛聽(tīng)到的一些關(guān)鍵動(dòng)詞和詞組。在說(shuō)的時(shí)候,想象自己正在對(duì)一個(gè)沒(méi)有聽(tīng)過(guò)錄音的同學(xué)講述故事的情節(jié)。我相信很多同學(xué)在剛剛開(kāi)始練習(xí)的時(shí)候會(huì)“憋的”說(shuō)不出幾句象樣的話,或是在大意和情節(jié)上丟三落四的。出現(xiàn)這種情況太正常了。這樣就反映了我們剛剛所做的同步復(fù)述只是一個(gè)辨音過(guò)程。現(xiàn)在所做的自我總結(jié)才真正開(kāi)動(dòng)了我們的大腦,提高了真正的口語(yǔ)水平。
