Learn EnglishPod

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

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:

00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Exactly. So in today's lesson we're going to look at language about cleaning the house.

jinhuaiyao@macbook EnglishPod % cat srt.sh
#!/bin/bash

# This script removes numeric identifiers and timestamp lines from an .srt file,
# preserving the subtitle text and the empty lines that separate different blocks.

awk '
/^[0-9]+$/ { next; } # Skip numeric identifier lines.
/-->/ { next; } # Skip timestamp lines.
{ print; } # Print all other lines (subtitle text and empty lines).
