今年工作上迫切需要提升一下英语口语,研究一番,决定学习 EnglishPod,简单介绍一下目前的实践,抛砖引玉。
选择
最开始在 ESLPOD 和 EnglishPod 之间决定学习 EnglishPod 的原因是听了它的第一段的对话 “Difficult Customer”,觉得内容挺有意思的。后来愈发觉得它很接地气,每节课都在强调 “give you real English”,也正是我需要的。
下载
从 https://archive.org/details/englishpod_all 下载所有对话和文本。
主持人对话本文
用 Buzz 把 englishpod_xxx_pb.mp3 转录一下,得到主持人对话本文。
微信读书标注
Buzz 转录出来的文本导出成 SRT 格式,需要导入到微信读书里可以划线、标注或者查词翻译。
首先需要把 SRT 文本里的时间戳部分清洗掉,借助 ChatGPT:
