7
I know it must hurt, man, but you've been listening to that song on repeat for like five days now.
8
You were doing so well.
9
Mordecai.
10
Is he still crying about the coffee girl?
11
If I have to listen to this song one more time.
12
Mordecai.
13
This is your boss.
14
Open up.
15
I'm taking a mental health day.
16
You don't have the right to be sad.
17
You never even had the guts to tell Margaret how you feel.
18
Listen, if you leave things the way they are now, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.
19
Telling her might not change anything, but at least you'll have closure.
20
You should just tell Margaret how you feel.
21
You're right.
22
Say I wasn't so normal.
23
Well, let's say I was bald and had the complexion of a popular primary color, as a random, non -specific example,
24
would you still enjoy my company? Of course.
25
We don't judge a book by its cover or a person from the outside.
26
Oh, that's a relief to hear.
27
I can explain.
28
What about everything you've just said about judging a book by its cover?
29
Why are you so evil, tricking me?
30
What could you possibly hope to gain?
31
Wait a minute.
32
Oh, I don't believe this.
33
Do you really think that I would ever be with you?
34
No. I guess I'm just thinking about Flame Princess.
35
I told her a joke the other day, and she didn't even laugh or anything.
36
Guess it's over between us.
37
That's it?
38
A joke?
39
Man, having a girlfriend is hard.
40
No, being crazy is hard.
41
You're getting all hung up.
42
All hung up on imaginary problems.
43
You gotta focus on what's real, man.
44
You see this cup?
45
This is literally my favorite cup.
46
Now it's gone forever, so it's not real, and I don't care about it anymore.
47
Go for Morty!
48
Hi, Morty.
49
It's Jessica.
50
Look, can we just talk for a minute?
51
Is that how long it takes for Rick to trace my location?
52
Come back, Morty.
53
I miss you.
54
You miss the old me.
55
You miss someone that loved you so much you never had to love him back.
56
How do you know I don't want to love you?
57
Because I'm not sick.
58
Look at that.
59
Another tortured soul.
60
Another light of pain.
61
Hey, Raven.
62
Chuck it out.
63
What's the matter with you?
64
Well...
65
My girlfriend broke up with me.
66
Did she step on your heart with stiletto shoes?
67
Yeah, sure does, Bird.
68
That's cool.
69
I guess you can join up with us if you want.
70
Yeah, we're gonna go to the graveyard and write poems about death and how pointless life is.
71
No thanks.
72
I love life.
73
Huh?
74
But you just got dumped.
75
Well, yeah, and I'm sad.
76
But at the same time, I'm really happy that something can make me feel that sad.
77
It's like, it makes me feel alive, you know?
78
It makes me feel human.
79
The only way I can feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before.
80
So I have to take the bad with the good.
81
So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness.
82
I guess that sounds stupid.
83
You need to let her go.
84
I know.
85
It's gonna hurt a little bit when you do. Who am I kidding?
86
It's gonna hurt a lot.
87
But you're gonna be okay.
88
I can't do this anymore!
89
What?
90
Now you like me?
91
Finn, what are you talking about?
92
What am I talking about?
93
Phoebe, I was...
94
I was in love with you, okay?
95
And you didn't love me back.
96
Now I'm ready to move on, and it's like...
97
You're gonna build me up all over again.
98
Well, I'm done.
99
I'm done.
100
Part of me is still waiting for Margaret to come back.
101
What?
102
Still? she's not coming back dude she's gone look I know all right I know it's just I
103
mean I don't still have feelings for her
104

105
and it's always just sort of sitting there waiting around sometimes I'll see something
106
or I'll smell something
107
and it makes me think of even though i don't want
108
to i let her go yes yes splen you what how could you do
109

110
He's scared of love?
111
Everyone's scared of love, dipshit.
112
You learned that in your 20s.
113
It takes a very rare, very powerful being to be terrified of happiness.
114
Dumb!
115
You're dumb.
116
That's why you're not scared to be happy.
117
The smarter you are, the more you know.
118
Happiness is a trap.
119
It can't last forever.
120
Let's say you meet the love of your life.
121
Well, it's still in a hand.
122
It's inevitable.
123
Whether by the slow pull of a disease or the shock or loose footing on a hiking trail, Whether it be the corrosion of two personalities that reshape each other until they're incompatible,
124
or maybe the old stranger in a bar who says the things that need to be said to that person that night.
125
The point is, happiness always ends.
126
Best case scenario, think about this.
127
Best case is that you die at the same time.
128
Well, sounds like you're sad.
129
Listen, Ben, girls is like horses.
130
When you fall down, it's important that you get right back on again, on a different horse.

133
Penny saved, it's a penny earned.

  • Palabras largas — cuida el acento: inevitable /ɪˈnɛvɪtəbəl/, imaginary /ɪˈmæd͡ʒɪˌn(ɛ)ɹi/, incompatible /ˌɪŋkəmˈpætɪbəl/

Sonidos difíciles para hispanohablantes:

  • s + consonante al inicio — sin añadir una “e” delante: scare /skɛɚ/, stiletto /stɪˈlɛtoʊ/
  • /v/ — no es /b/: los dientes tocan el labio inferior: inevitable /ɪˈnɛvɪtəbəl/, graveyard /ˈɡɹeɪvˌjɑɹd/

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
