Hello, Wentworth.
2
I like your look and I like your name.
3
It's such a good name.
4
I think I mentioned that last time you were here.
5
It's just a great name.
6
I have something for you.
7
I saw somebody put something down there.
8
What you got?
9
It's a gift.
10
I heard it was your fifth anniversary, so I wanted to give you something.
11
And I remember seeing a clip of Smoking Donkey.
12
We used to have the Smoking Donkey on the table, yes.
13
Yes.
14
I think this is a little companion piece.
15
Now he's got a friend.
16
Oh, my.
17
It's the drinking bear.
18
This is vintage?
19
This is vintage.
20
I found this at a pawn shop outside of Dallas, Texas.
21
Oh, and he pours it.
22
Oh, and he drinks it.
23
Fantastic.
24
Thank you.
25
That's great.
26
I wonder how many animals they thought of before they decided upon the bear that would drink.
27
They...
28
Usually chimpanzees they make do all those things.
29
Yeah, just a little something for the kids.
30
It's great.
31
Great.
32
I don't know where the smoking dog is.
33
We thought it was not cool to be putting smoking out there. Of course.
34
So we decided to take it away.
35
But there's nothing wrong with a drinking bear.
36
Uh-uh.
37
No. Now, speaking of smoking, because it's bad for you, you know, it's really bad for you.
38
And you recently just quit, right?
39
Yes, I did.
40
I did.
41
Great.
42
How long did you smoke?
43
Did you smoke for a long time?
44
I did.
45
I was smoking on and off for about 10 years.
46
But I've had maybe four or five cigarettes in the last eight months.
47
So as far as I'm concerned, that's quitting.
48
Yeah.
49
I think that's pretty good.
50
So that's good.
51
So that means you haven't totally quit.
52
That means you're not completely addicted, that you're going to start all the way up again.
53
No, I think I'm done with it, which is great.
54
Yeah, how'd you do it?
55
Well, you know, I didn't want to try the patch, because I thought chemicals got me into this.
56
I don't want to use chemicals to get me out of this.
57
I just want to stop cold turkey on my own willpower.
58
I think that's the best way to do it.
59
Now, is it hard, like everybody, because it just seems like the kind of set where there's a bunch of guys just sitting around, because there's a lot of down time.
60
Do a lot of guys smoke on the set?
61
They do.
62
They do, but my new addiction is a Blackberry.
63
Oh, really?
64
Yeah, constantly on the Blackberry.
65
Keep your hands busy.
66
Exactly.
67
Exactly.
68
And speaking of the show and the set, I can't not ask this.
69
I mean, Lane Garrison, who had such a tragedy.
70
I mean, it was just such a horrible thing that happened, the drunk driving incident.
71
And I've seen him sobbing.
72
He clearly is remorseful.
73
And he's, I don't know if you know the story.
74
He didn't even know that the kids, they were killed when he was driving drunk.
75
And a couple of 15-year-olds or something, right?
76
And so have you talked to him or do you have...
77
Not recently, but I did get a chance to spend some time with Lane when he was working on the show,
78
and all I can say is that he is essentially a very sweet kid who made a horrific mistake.
79
Obviously, there are no excuses.
80
Nothing's going to bring that boy back, and he'll spend the rest of his life paying for it.
81
And I was really proud of him that he stepped forward and took full responsibility for his actions.
82
Yeah, yeah, it's it just shows you I mean, I'm sure he was a great guy and just one
83
That's a bad decision that should show you you don't you don't drink
84
and drive you don't fool around with it No matter what a great person you are.
85
It's just not worth it.
86
You know to take that chance It's a serious segment on Ellen today.
87
Yeah, it is Well, you know,
88
that's a no, let's let's get lighter then Take your shirt off Well,
89
you had the tattoos before.
90
You're back in prison again.
91
You were out, now you're back in prison.
92
That's right.
93
And so now, and you had the tattoos before.
94
You were always like this.
95
And now, you don't have the tattoos.
96
Right.
97
So you have to just wear a shirt all the time to cover?
98
I'm in a long sleeve t-shirt.
99
To pretend to cover all that.
100
Yeah, and it's supposed to be down in Panama.
101
It's supposed to be hot.
102
We're sweating.
103
We're shooting the show in Dallas, so it's like 110 degrees every day.
104
It's a nightmare.
105
And humid, too.
106
And humid, yeah.
107
Yeah.
108
And what is that?
109
Like, that must be, and it's not like a, they don't try to make it look real clean.
110
It's a prison.
111
It's a bad, bad prison.
112
Yeah, you're supposed to be dirty.
113
You're supposed to be sweaty.
114
All the actors before every take were standing there with our own little spritz bottles, spraying ourselves down just to sell the story that we're supposed to be selling, which is funny to me
115
because I can remember driving around Los Angeles way before my career had started in this 1982 beat up Toyota Cressida.
116
The AC was shot.
117
The windows were down.
118
I've got like a spritz bottle rolling around the car like underneath my seat.
119
And I'd pull up to an intersection or the red light
120
or something and I'd spray myself down just to like stay cool. And now?
121
The universe has a really bizarre sense of humor.
122
That spritz bottle.
123
Is it the same one or no?
124
You didn't hold onto it?
125
I've upgraded.
126
All right.
127
Thanks for being here.
128
My pleasure.
129
The third season.
130
And thanks for my drinking beer.
131
Oh, you're welcome.
132
The third season of Prison Break premieres tonight at 8 o'clock on Fox.
133
We'll look at some of the highlights from my vlogs after this.

Warum sollten Sie das Sprechen mit diesem Video üben?

Das Video mit Wentworth Miller bietet eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, um Ihr Englisch zu verbessern und die Englische Aussprache zu verbessern. Miller spricht in einem lockeren, informellen Kontext, was es ideal macht, um alltägliche Gespräche nachzuvollziehen. Die natürlich fließende Kommunikation in diesem Interview hilft Ihnen, die natürliche Sprachmelodie und Intonation aufzunehmen. Sie können nicht nur Ihre Sprechfähigkeiten verbessern, sondern auch Ihre Hörverständnis durch maßgeschneidertes shadowing üben. Wenn Sie den Dialog imitiert und nachgesprochen haben, entwickeln Sie ein besseres Gefühl für den rhythmischen Fluss der englischen Sprache. Nutzen Sie diesen shadow speech Ansatz als Teil Ihres Lernprozesses beim Englisch lernen mit YouTube.

Grammatik & Ausdrücke im Kontext

In dem Gespräch werden mehrere interessante grammatische Strukturen und Ausdrücke verwendet, die es wert sind, hervorgehoben zu werden:

  • „I did.” - Die Verwendung des einfachen Vergangenheitsforms bestätigt eine abgeschlossene Handlung und festigt diese in der Konversation. Dies ist besonders wichtig, um vergangene Erfahrungen zu diskutieren.
  • „I think that’s pretty good.” - Hier sehen wir, wie eine persönliche Meinung ausgedrückt wird. Solche Formulierungen sind im täglichen Gespräch nützlich, um Engagement und Zustimmung zu zeigen.
  • „As far as I'm concerned.” - Dieser Ausdruck zeigt, dass die folgende Meinung subjektiv ist. Solche Phrasen helfen, die eigene Perspektive klarer zu kommunizieren und Diskussionen zu fördern.

Häufige Aussprachfallen

Beim Anhören dieses Videos stoßen Lernende möglicherweise auf einige Wörter oder Ausdrücke, die knifflig sein können:

  • „vintage” - Achten Sie auf die Aussprache und Betonung. Der Laut „v” ist oft schwer, daher sollte man darauf achten, ihn klar auszusprechen.
  • „companion” - Die Silbenstruktur ist eine Herausforderung; üben Sie das Wort langsam und dann schneller, um flüssiger zu werden.
  • „cigarettes” - Das „s” in diesem Wort kann im schnellem Sprechen leicht verschwommen werden. Üben Sie die klare Aussprache, um bei Gesprächen über die Gesundheit klarer zu kommunizieren.

Indem Sie diese Aspekte in Ihre shadowing site Übungen integrieren, werden Sie nicht nur Ihre Sprechfähigkeiten verbessern, sondern auch Ihr Selbstvertrauen im Sprechen von Englisch steigern.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
