Oh my, tomatoes are $3.99 a pound.
2
That's so high.
3
Isn't that high?
4
It seems so high.
5
Oh, this is interminable.
6
I demand to know why you insist on taking me everywhere you go.
7
I mean, really, what could possibly happen if you left me home by myself?
8
Instant stuffing or instant mashed potatoes.
9
A choice is a...
10
Clean up on aisle three.
11
I got it.
12
Peter, where's Chris?
13
I love you, Seahawk.
14
All right, son, I'm gonna need those two hams back.
15
I don't have any hams.
16
Lift up your shirt, son.
17
I need an adult!
18
I need an adult!
19
You're not a shoplifter.
20
You're just a fat kid.
21
Sorry about that, fatty, fat, fatty.
22
Hey, Dom, he's just a fat kid.
23
Aren't you, fatty?
24
He's just a big old fat kid.
25
Here's some chocolate, Fatto.
26
Thanks.
27
Hey, Brian, flea collars are on sale.
28
Yeah, too many chemicals.
29
This year, I'm gonna try a more natural alternative.
30
Ah, ah, ah, sorry, Dr. Ling.
31
I guess I'm nervous.
32
This whole thing is a little weird.
33
Ah, never you fear, laddie book.
34
I've been doing this all me life.
35
You see, the reason your fleas are drawn to you is your kidney energy is being blocked by a dark chi, or what we call in my country, Wee Feng Chao Hu.
36
Hey, Doc, you have to keep those two boxes right next to each other.
37
Why?
38
What do they say?
39
I think we're through here.
40
Attention world leaders!
41
I have 137 nuclear warheads trained on every capital city around the globe.
42
The world is now under my control.
43
But oh no!
44
I'm naked!
45
What the deuce?
46
Ah!
47
Fleas!
48
Ah!
49
Damn you mop and glow!
50
Wake up, Leona!
51
This decrepit Hooverville is infested with something besides idiots.
52
Oh, my gosh.
53
Stewie, you've got bugs on your jammies.
54
Peter, wake up.
55
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
56
Stewie's covered with fleas.
57
Oh, that's nothing.
58
Once when I was a kid, I was covered with ticks.
59
Peter, it's not a contest.
60
Well, it was back then.
61
Oh, no. Brian.
62
That's it.
63
Time for doggie to go the way of old yellow.
64
Brian, are you okay?
65
Okay.
66
Okay.
67
Hey, I'm covered in fleas, lady.
68
I'm losing it here.
69
Get a hold of yourself.
70
Ow!
71
Peter, you're supposed to hit Brian.
72
Dad, I'm itchy.
73
I'm itchy.
74
Out of my way, white load.
75
Mom, there's fleas all over the house.
76
There's only one thing to do.
77
Learn the language of the fleas, earn their trust, then breed with their women.
78
And in time, our differences will be forgotten.
79
Call the damn exterminator!
80
We got a 602 at 31 Spooner Street.
81
Logan, let's go.
82
I can't.
83
I...
84
I just can't.
85
What's with you, Logan?
86
You look like hell.
87
Flaherty.
88
He just watched his wife and kid get carried away by seven million fire ants.
89

93
They're on the carpet!
94
Got one over here!
95

96

97

98

122

123
Well, I think the ultraviolet scanning light will be the judge of that.
124

131

132
Jump in, honey.
133
Don't be afraid.
134
The turtle will keep you safe.
135
Oh, for God's sake, I'm to entrust my life to a turtle?
136
Nature's D student?
137

138

139
I feel like a young Johnny Weissmuller.
140
Hey, Chris, aren't you coming in?
141
Can't I swim with my shirt on?
142
No, you can't swim with your shirt on.
143
Wait a second.
144
What are you hiding under your shirt?
145
Do you have bruises?
146
Did somebody hit you?
147
Lois, what did you do to my son?
148
Well, you keep your voice down.
149
You're embarrassing him.
150
What are you talking about?
151
If I wanted to embarrass him, I'd do something like this.
152
Hey, hey, everybody.
153
Hey, look what Chris Griffin's father, Peter Griffin, is doing.
154
Stop it.
155
Chris, why don't you want to take your shirt off?
156
Uh, cause I'm fat.
157
Oh, honey, no one thinks you're fat.
158
I'm sorry, sir.
159
You can't park your van on the diving board.
160
This is my son.
161
Oh, my apologies.
162
Hey, Tom!
163
He's not a van.
164
He's just a fat kid.
165
Don't listen to him, Chris.
166
I'm gonna go get you a soda.
167
You wait here.
168
I say, hello, Julia!
169
I'm ready to get out.
170
Somebody!
171
Oh, my, what was that?
172
Oh, hello, Mr. Waterjet.
173
Stewie, are you ready to...
174
Go away!
175
You're not fat, Chris.
176
You just come from a long line of husky griffins.
177
Like your great-great-great-uncle Jabba the Griffin.
178
Honey, if you want to lose weight, I'll put you on a diet, and your father can help you exercise.
179
Really?
180
Why don't you do what the supermodels do?
181
Stick your finger down your throat and throw up till you're skinny.
182
Chris, don't listen to your sister.
183
Sticking your finger down your throat doesn't make you throw up.
184
Pete, are you okay?
185
Meatloaf for us and a very special, very delicious steamed vegetable dish for Chris.
186
Oh, I hate vegetables.
187
Honey, they're good for you.
188
Oh.
189
It tastes like a monkey.
190
A monkey that's past its prime.
191
Mm, this meatloaf is a symphony of flavor.
192
It's too bad you can't have some.
193
It's practically orgasmic.
194
Oh, yes!
195
Yes!
196
Oh!
197
Oh!
198
Yes!
199
Yes!
200
I'll have what he's having.
201
Okay, Chris, time for some good old-fashioned exercise, like those guys are doing.
202
I say, Phineas, great day to be doing squat thrusts and lifting our huge triangular iron weights.
203
Hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop, hoop.
204
Dad, I don't like running.
205
The sound of my thighs scraping together hurts my ears.
206
Hey, you Twinkie!
207
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
208
Ha ha ha ha!
209
I'm gonna get you!
210
Ha!
211
Come on.
212
You can do it.
213
Feel the burn, Chris.
214
Feel the burn.
215
Ha!
216
Atta boy!
217
All the way upstream, buddy.
218
Okay, just relax.
219
Try to soil yourself like we practiced.
220
Dad, this says I gained weight.
221
That's impossible.
222
Take off your shirt.
223
What the hell is that?
224
Boovine lummox!
225
Oh, God!
226
I tell you, Cleveland, he's been working out all week, and he hasn't lost a pound.
227
Peter, if you're this desperate about Chris's weight, why don't you just suck the fat out?
228
Look, if you can find a hole on the boy, do you want to put your lips on?
229
Be my guest.
230
I'm talking about liposuction.
231
My brother Broderick's a cosmetic surgeon.
232
He used the fat he took out of her to make the two kids from Good Burger.
233
Burger.

La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Frasi condizionali if + frase, will/would + verbo — una condizione e il suo risultato | If I wanted to embarrass him, I'd do · if you want to lose weight, I'll put |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | are drawn · is infested · was covered |
| Futuro con “will” will + verbo — una decisione, una promessa o una previsione | will be · It'll be · will keep |
| Present continuous am/is/are + -ing — qualcosa che succede adesso o in questo periodo | is being · I'm losing · is doing |
Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 62 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come I'm, don't, you're. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “th”: throat /ˈθɹoʊt/, thigh /θaɪ/, thrust /θɹʌst/
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: liposuction /ˈlai.poʊˌsʌk.ʃn̩/, mash /mæʃ/, gosh /ɡɑːʃ/, dish /dɪʃ/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: exterminator /ɪkˈstɝmɪˌneɪtɚ/, interminable /ɪnˈtɜː(ɹ).mɪn.ə.bəl/, triangular /tɹaɪˈæŋ.ɡjə.lɚ/, ultraviolet /ˌʌltɹəˈvaɪələt/, apology /əˈpɑ.lə.d͡ʒi/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: hoop /hʊp/, ham /ˈhæm/
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: hoop /hʊp/, embarrass /ɪmˈbæɹəs/, meatloaf /ˈmit.loʊf/, throat /ˈθɹoʊt/, pound /ˈpaʊ̯nd/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: embarrass /ɪmˈbæɹəs/, ham /ˈhæm/, laddie /ˈlædi/, orgasmic /oɹˈɡæz.mɪk/, strangle /ˈstɹæŋɡəl/
Come esercitarsi con questo video
- Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
- Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come hoop, embarrass, meatloaf.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
