南非教师Brian的口语课,给人一种强烈的感觉,似乎有种神奇的力量使这位“语言大师”的说话极富魅力。诸如giraffe(长颈鹿)、hippopotomas(河马)、rhinoceros(犀牛)等并不常见的事物,以及provoke(寻衅)、be odds at sb.(闹别扭)等抽象概念居然全是用动作、表情、手势等方式来表达的,而且表达得那么准确、生动、一目了然。 South African teacher Brian’s spoken class gave a strong feeling. It seems that there is a kind of magical power that makes the language master’s speech attractive. The unconventional things such as giraffe (giraffe), hippopotomas (hippo), rhinoceros (rhinoceros), and the abstract concepts of “provoke” and “be odds at sb.” are all based on actions, expressions, and gestures. Expressed, and expressed so accurately, vividly, at a glance.
