內容大意
以下內容是根據我口述的中文文稿，經過 chatGPT 格式化調整後的內容。
放棄語法書
大家好，歡迎來到這個系列視頻的第二集。今天，我們將討論英語學習過程中你一定不能做的三件事。
首先，放棄使用語法書學習英語。這有兩個關鍵點：第一，你應該以更加自然的方式學習語法；第二，你不需要知道每個語法點的名稱。如果你問一個母語者什麼是過去分詞或分裂不定式，他們很可能無法回答，因為大多數母語者並不了解這些術語。你應該思考自己的母語學習過程，很多語法點你可能根本不記得，因為它們並不有趣。用語法書學習語法既不容易記住，也不必要。重要的是你要理解母語者在說什麼，從而能夠更順暢地進行交流。
不要過分關注單詞發音
第二，你需要停止對單個單詞發音的過度關注。在YouTube或其他視頻分享網站上，很多人嘗試練習單詞發音，例如“to”這個詞。在句子中，這個詞的發音會變化。作為英語學習者，你需要像母語者一樣思考，並理解在短語或句子中學習單詞。這將幫助你更快地提高流利度，因為它能讓你理解一個單詞在不同句子中的發音變化。你需要注意的是整個短語或詞組，以及其中單詞發音的變化。
先練習流利度，再考慮發音
最後，不要在能進行流暢交流之前過於擔心發音。有很多學生希望在交流之前有完美的發音，但這是沒有意義的。想想那些學母語的小孩子，他們可能需要四到五年甚至更長時間才能發音標準。對於英語學習者也是如此，尤其是母語與英語不同的學習者。因此，如果你想要流利地說英語並有好的發音，首先要開始多說、多練習。隨著時間的推移，你的發音會逐漸改善。
記住這三點：不要擔心語法規則，因為這些信息對你幫助不大，也會讓你失去學習英語的興趣；不要過分關注單個單詞的發音，因為一個單詞在不同句子中的發音會變化；在能進行流暢表達之前，不要過於擔心發音。只要開始說，你的英語水平會逐步提高。
希望今天的視頻對你有幫助。明天我們將教你兩個關於如何思考以更快提高流利度的重要事項。明天見！

Original English Script
Hello and welcome back to Lesson 2 in your free 7-day email video course from English Anyone. Com. I’m Drew Badger, and today you are going to learn three important things you should stop doing if you want to get fluent in real spoken English.
Remember from yesterday, first of all, that you should be thinking about your goals. Did you make your English vision board? I know you don’t have to make one, but if you take the time to make a vision board, I promise you, you will be able to see your goal much much more clearly really think about what you want and then you will be able to achieve it easily.
Let’s continue with today’s lesson. The first most horrible thing you could do for your learning English is to try to master grammar using a grammar textbook. *There are two things you need to remember about learning English grammar. The first thing is that you should learn grammar naturally . The second is that you do not need to know the names of grammar points. If go to ask a native speaker what a past participle is or a spilt infinitive is . They will not be able tell you, most native speakers do not know this information only an English teacher will be able to tell you what either of these two things are and this should give you some really import clue how to learn English naturally. Think about your own native language, you probably don’t remember what you learned in school. It wan’t very fun and you are trying to learn your own language grammar using a grammar textbook. You probably don’t remember most of the names of the grammar points you studied . How did you learn grammar, you learn grammar naturally. We will teach you how to learn grammar later in this video series but for today just understand it will not helpful to study grammar using a grammar textbook . It won’t be memorable, and you don’t need to know that information. All you need to know is how to understand what native speakers are saying, so you can have a better conversation. But more about that in a later video lesson.
The second thing you need to stop doing is stop worrying about the pronunciation of individual words. On YouTube and other video sharing sites, we see a lot of people that are trying to practice pronunciation of individual words. As an example. The word “to” we use this one regularly when teaching students the word by itself usually has the pronunciation “tu”, but in a larger sentence, the pronunciation of it changes. This is what you need to understand as a learner of English. You need to think like a native speaker and understand that you learn words in groups. This is how you get fluent in English much much faster because it helps you understand the pronunciation of one word by comparing it or using it in a phrase or a group of words together in the example of ‘to’. I can say I am going to the store pronunciation of ‘to’ become ‘ti’ . I am going ‘tu’ the store now the pronunciation of the word changes. So what you need to be listening for are whole phrases, whole groups of words, and how that pronunciation affects the sound of one word within that group.
The last thing you need to stop doing is worrying about your pronunciation before you can have a great conversation. I’ve seen so many students that really want to have great pronunciation before they can have a great conversation. This doesn’t make any sense. Why would you want to worry about your pronunciation before you can even speak . Think about babies in your own language. Most young learners of your language it takes them maybe four or even five years or longer to learn how to pronounce your language using great normal pronunciation. The same thing is true for English learners especially if your language is different from English. So if you want to get fluent in real spoken English and have great pronunciation. Stop worrying about pronunciation. First begin talking, talk, talk, talk. Speak as much as you can and then you will begin to see real improvement in your pronunciation. It’s boring and not helpful to try to practice pronunciation before you can speak.
Remember these three things: Don’t worry about studying grammar rules because that information will not help you, and it will make you dislike learning English even more because it’s not very fun. So throw the grammar book away. Also, remember to stop worrying about the pronunciation of individual words. It’s okay to study the pronunciation of individual words, so a word may have many sounds in it. Those sounds are import to study and that’s why we teach phonics to students, but don’t worry about project pronouncing or practicing one particular sound forward, because that sound will change , and finally don’t worry about pronunciation before you can speak, even if you don’t have great pronunciation , just speak and you will start seeing real improvement in your English much much faster.
Well, I hope it’s been another excellent video lesson for you today. Tomorrow we’re going to teach you two really important things you need to understand about how to think in order to get fluid faster. So come back tomorrow, open your mail, watch the video lesson, and start speaking English much faster. Have an excellent day, think about your vision board, and we’ll see you back here tomorrow.
補充 AI工具使用的問題
- 這次對字幕處理的 prompt 做了更加詳細的要求和示例補充，詳細內容可以看參考資源的鏈接。整個 prompt 有 1500多個字符. But 使用下來效果並不好，出現了十分嚴重的 AI 自由發揮情況
- ChatGPT 沒有免費額度了，前幾十個段落的處理沒有問題
- 通義千文，第一次處理陷入死循環，自己在處理 180 個段落是，重複輸出相同的內容。手動停止後，它發現了自己的問題。嘗試讓它分多次處理整個文檔，比如第一次處理 1-100 個段落，第二次處理 101-200 個段落。它清楚自己的任務和要求，但處理到第60個段落時，它就不知道自己要幹嘛了，開始自由發揮。從160個段落自己跳到了218個段落，中間有大量的內容被刪除。
- 最後放棄對AI的調教，索性給AI，讓它自己發揮，prompt 修改為
請忽略掉之前我們的指令要求，按照你自己的理解，將這份文檔，修改為一份更容易讓人類閱讀的版本。我不是要你翻譯，請使用原文中的英文表達。只是調整格式，不要改變意思。
勉強給出了一份能夠使用的文檔。在對比視頻中的內容，仍然發現有成段落的文字被忽略了，原文中的英文稿中 斜體 的部分為手動補充上。
