文/王淵源John

Good morning!

今天的朗讀內容來自紐約時報的一個專欄,叫「A Month Without Sugar」。

關於nutrition的消息,實在是太亂了,真搞不清楚該怎麼吃東西。不過,最近好像確實有越來越多的消息說不應該吃太多添加的糖。

I wonder if I could make it a month without sugar. 

Have fun!

John

p.s. 音頻質量一般,但我好像終於學會怎麼用話筒,往後應該好一點。


朗讀內容

A Month Without Sugar

By David Leonhardt

It is in chicken stock, sliced cheese, bacon and smoked salmon, in mustard and salad dressing, in crackers and nearly every single brand of sandwich bread. It is all around us — in obvious ways and hidden ones — and it is utterly delicious.

It’s sugar, in its many forms: powdered sugar, honey, corn syrup, you name it. The kind you eat matters less than people once thought, scientific research suggests, and the amount matters much more. Our national sugar habit is the driving force behind the diabetes and obesity epidemics and may be a contributing factor to cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Like me, you』ve probably just finished a couple of weeks in which you have eaten a whole lot of tasty sugar. Don’t feel too guilty about it. But if you feel a little guilty about it, I』d like to make a suggestion.

Choose a month this year — a full 30 days, starting now or later — and commit to eating no added sweeteners. Go cold turkey, for one month.

I have done so in each of the last two years, and it has led to permanent changes in my eating habits. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. It reset my sugar-addled taste buds and opened my eyes to the many products that needlessly contain sugar. I now know which brands of chicken stock, bacon, smoked salmon, mustard and hot sauce contain added sugar and which do not.

什麼是清晨朗讀會?

這裡就是清晨朗讀會。通過這個微信號,我每天早上7點左右會給你發可以模仿和朗讀的材料,包括語音,也包括文本,希望我們能夠每天一起練習。


如何使用此練習材料

較理想的狀態

1)先聽一遍我讀的語音

2)再聽一遍,這次跟著模仿(聽不懂你模仿的沒關係,跟不上也沒關係,就儘量模仿你聽到的音!)

3)朗讀一遍原文

4)以上三個部分再重複2-3遍

5)(可選)發到朋友圈裡,告訴朋友你今天練了英語!(對我來講,這是最大的支持和幫助,提前感謝!)

起碼要達到的狀態

1)聽一遍

2)跟著模仿一遍

3)朗讀一遍

注意⚠️:聽的時候最好不要看原文,聽不懂100%沒關係,你要是能聽得懂100%那還學什麼?

王淵源John是誰

我的中文名字叫王淵源,英文名字叫John Gordon,是個美國人,在中國呆了十幾年了,從事了14年的英文教育工作,接觸過好幾十萬中國同學。讓我一直很困惑的一件事情是很多中國朋友學了很長時間的英文,但並沒有一個很好的學習效果。而我知道語言學習並不是那麼神秘的事情,只要堅持一些簡單的事情,就能夠學會。我希望我能夠幫助大家解決動力問題,方法問題以及材料問題。

如何置頂此公眾號
