Pratica di Shadowing: NO WAY HE DIRECTED THE OFFICE! - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
Uh, hi.
2
Actually, it's polite to arrive early. And smart.
3
Only really good friends show up early.
4
Ergo de facto, go to a party early.
5
Become a really good friend.
6
Oh!
7
Uh, potato salad?
8
Oh.
9
That's from both of us.
10
No, it's not.
11
Okay.
12
Wonderful.
13
Let's, uh, see where we can put this.
14
Okay.
15
Oh, you know what?
16
You probably want to leave the cover on until the guests get here.
17
It's been sitting in my car all day.
18
The sun beating down on the mayonnaise.
19
Just...
20
You never know.
21
1, 2, 3, up Jenkins!
22
Down Jenkins!
23
I think I heard the cord over here. Where?
24
On this side.
25
No, it is definitely under one of these hands.
26
I kinda heard it on Roy's side too.
27
No, it is here.
28
Not here.
29
Not here.
30
Not here.
31
Not here.
32
Good thing you didn't listen.
33
Yeah, close one.
34
Not here.
35
Not here.
36
Okay, it's either here or here.
37
Not here.
38
Yes!
39
Yes!
40
I can read you like a book.
41
Oh, yeah?
42
You can't keep anything from me.
43
Thumbs up.
44
Hey, Kreen.
45
Hey.
46
So, what are you guys up to?
47
Ah, hello.
48
You're the man, buddy.
49
I run a small fake ID company for my car with a laminated machine that I swiped from the sheriff's station.
50
This was a gift from Lee Iacocca, 20-year-old single malt scotch.
51
Here is to Mr. Iacocca and his failed experiment, the DeLorean. Are you okay?
52
Yeah.
53
Do you have any ice?
54
How about some Splenda?
55
You and the missus should join us, Sandals, Jamaica, next Christmas.
56
Hi, Michael.
57
I think David probably wants to spend Christmas here with his family.
58
Oh, yeah.
59
They don't allow kids in Sandals.
60
They are our persona non grata there.
61
Oh, but it's fun.
62
It is an awesome place.
63
You would not believe how low this girl can limbo.
64
It's crazy.
65
I'm sorry.
66
You're just going to excuse us for just a couple of minutes.
67
Sorry.
68
Okay.
69
Excuse me.
70
What's going on?
71
What is it?
72
Sorry.
73
What's...
74
What's...
75
No. What's...
76
What did I...
77
Come here.
78
Just...
79
Just...
80
Just...
81
Just...
82
What are you doing?
83
Don't you know what I'm doing?
84
Yeah, but you could go.
85
What is that?
86
Why are we going in the bathroom?
87
I thought this is where you light your privacy.
88
Shut up.
89
What?
90
I want us to make it.
91
I want a fresh start.
92
That's awesome.
93
That's what I want.
94
Okay, but in order for us to make it, there can't be any secrets between us.
95
I didn't do anything.
96
I asked anybody I totally could have, and I didn't at all.
97
Just listen.
98
Remember that casino night about a month before we were supposed to get married?
99
I kissed Jim.
100
What?
101
He told me how he felt and I guess I had feelings too and we kissed.
102
Jim came onto you?
103
Just listen.
104
No, I am listening.
105
That's the problem.
106
I'm listening.
107
Don't yell.
108
DON'T YELL?
109
This is over.
110
Yeah, you're right.
111
This is so over.
112
You're over.
113
You're killing me, Pam!
114
Come on!
115
Come on!
116
You jet ski!
117
Are they gonna call the cops?
118
No, I paid them off.
119
Jet ski money?
120
All of it.
121
I'm gonna kill Jim Halpern.
122
Shabuya Roll Call!
123
Shabuya, ya, ya, Shabuya Roll Call!

133
Shabuya, ya, ya, Shabuya Roll Call!
134
Jim taught them a driving song built around a nonsense word word.
135
Nonsense.
136
A word that makes no sense. On purpose.
137
If you can't see what's wrong with that, I can't help you.
138
My name is Kevin.
139
That is my name.
140
They call me Kevin.
141
Because that's my name.
142
Roll call.

159
I'm not very good at that.
160
Roll call.
161
Shibuya, ya, ya, Shibuya roll call.
162
It's your turn.

176

177
The Nardong.
178
Roll call.
179
Shibuya, ya, ya, Shibuya, roll call!
180
Oh, you guys, you guys, check this guy out.

197
Oh!
198
Thanks.
199
Playing a little hooky from work today.
200
Oh my god.
201
Everybody, hang on!
202
Oh!
203
Oh!
204
Oh!
205
Oh!
206
Oh!
207
High!
208
High!
209
High!
210
High!
211
High!
212
High!
213
High!
214
High!
215
High!
216
High!
217
Jim, take the wheel!
218
What?
219
Take it!
220
What?
221
Just take the wheel!
222
What are you doing?
223
Are you insane?
224
You're gonna get killed!
225
Don't worry about me!
226
Take care of them!
227
Get them!
228
Pies!
229
Don't close that stand!
230
Thanks, Dwight.
231
I rolled on a rock.
232
You may be asking yourself, what am I doing on a trampoline?
233
Well, I thought I'd bounce here for a while, relieve some stress, and then move on with my day.
234
Not.
235
Here's a plan.
236
Dwight is going to gather all of the office workers and all of the warehouse guys, and we're going to have another safety seminar.
237
Only this time, where's Michael?
238
Oh, my God!
239
He is on the roof!
240
Now I have got their attention.
241
I tell them about the cold hard facts of depression.
242
And then I say, hey, you ever seen a suicide?
243
And I jump.
244
And they freak out.
245
And they get to see the dangers of depression with their own eyes.
246
Nice side note, they might think, hey, I should have been nicer to Michael.
247
But that's not why I'm doing this.
248
And then I land on the trampoline, take a couple extra bounces for fun.
249
I climb off, walk around the corner.
250
Ta-freaking-da!
251
Some applause, maybe some tears, but they never doubt the dangers of the office ever again.
252
Maybe later I find some money on the street.
253
Not a bad day.
254
What do you think?
255
You know, guys, I recently learned some pretty cool stuff about the difference between feeling something and acting on that thing.
256
Can you tell Andy to focus on the springs, please?
257
Yeah.
258
Drew?
259
Yes, bosses.
260
You know, Drew, why don't you go inside?
261
Dwight, come here.
262
Where should we put this?
263
Okay, uh, turn around and do a broad jump for me on go.
264
Ready?
265
Go!
266
One missus...
267
Okay, you went that far on a one missus.
268
Ippie would take you to here.
269
This trajectory times the propulsion from your quadriceps would be about three missus Ippie,
270
maybe three and a quarter.
271
So one missus correct Ippie to Mississippi three Mississippi e Right here.
272
Okay, good.
273
Thank you I'll take our time do this right Ready let's do it drop that sucker Yeah!
274
Bingo!
275
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
276
Bingo!
277
Deactivate the car alarm, clean up the mess.
278
Okay.
279
Find out whose car that is.
280
If it's Stan Lee's, call the offices of James P.
281
Albini.
282
See if he handles hate crimes.
283
Got it.
284
Also, take apart the trampoline, stick it in the bailer.
285
We're not allowed to use the bailer.
286
Have Patch do it or the Sea Monster.
287
I'm on it.
288
Hit it.
289
Come on, hurry up, you guys!
290
My life!
291
Oh, my life.
292
Michael, what's wrong?
293
Everything's wrong.
294
The stress of my modern office has caused me to go into a depression.
295
Depression?
296
Isn't that just a fancy word for feeling bummed out?
297
Dwight, you ignorant slut.
298
Depression is a very serious illness over 32,000 people commit suicide every year,
299
according to a 2004 study.
300
Is that the last year the data was available?
301
Yes.
302
My head is in such pain and turmoil.
303
Don't do anything rash.
304
Dwight, where are the warehouse guys?
305
I didn't...
306
I didn't think you needed them for this part.
307
Okay.
308
That's...
309
You said to just...
310
That's the whole point, dummy.
311
That's the whole point, dummy.
312
Okay, I'm on it.
313
Okay?
314
Ooh, brownies.
315
I'm taking two so I can parcel them up and eat them at my leisure later on, much healthier.
316
You're taking two?
317
Yeah, but one of them is for Tubby.
318
Yeah.
319
Why don't you send that to him in Costa Rica?
320
I'm just gonna hand it to him right now.
321
Okay, weirdo.
322
Why is that weird?
323
She said she's gonna give it to him right now.
324
She's probably going to, because they sit next to each other.
325
Yeah, they're used to.
326
Toby works here again.
327
Oh, can you imagine?
328
Oh, no. Oh.
329
You don't know.
330
I don't know.
331
What?
332
You should probably just meander back there.
333
Take a look.
334
See if he's back.
335
Dare I?
336
You know what?
337
I'm going to.
338
For old time's sake.
339
Great practical joke, Jim.
340
You got me to go to the annex.
341
No!
342
God!
343
No!
344
God, please, no!
345
No!
346
No!
347
No!
348
Hey.
349
Hey.
350
You know, it's funny.
351
I used to stand in here and wish I was out there.
352
Now I'm out there and I wish I was in here.
353
Well, the grass is always greener.
354
Yeah, except there's no grass out there.
355
It's just a farty dirt patch.
356
Well, that's what you wanted.
357
I really need my job back.
358
We made a terrible mistake here.
359
For the record, I fought this, all right?
360
And now, I'm not really sure what we do.
361
We make a poster that says, Happy Opposite Day, and she sees it on the way out.
362
That's stupid.
363
Oh, I wish we had one of those amnesia flashlights for Men in Black, just...
364
Hey, what was that movie where their boss their boss was within earshot, and they could have just gone and talked to her.
365
Lethal weapon?
366
That's it.
367
I think we should do it the lethal weapon way.
368
You two are grown-ass men.
369
What do I have to do, fire you and get two people in here who don't need so much management?
370
Joe, I am a man of few words.
371
I don't mince words.
372
I try to use as few words as possible to express an idea or a thought or a concept.
373
Along those lines, I try...
374
Joe, we made a mistake.
375
I...
376
I hate to say this, but I hate being a manager.
377
I only did it because I thought it was the responsible thing to do, but the truth is, if I can make more money as a salesman, I'd like to do that, please.
378
And what I don't understand is that I am a great manager and a great salesman.
379
So, what I'm saying...
380
Michael's saying that he's better at being a manager, and I agree.
381
I'm just...
382
Because he's a better people person, weirdly.
383
And weirdly, I'm a good dog person.
384
Right, guys?
385
See?
386
They love me.
387
Fine.
388
I don't care which one of you does which job.
389
Just stop meeting with me to talk about it.
390
All right.
391
All right.
392
Oh, I gotta take this.
393
Yep.
394
Finish walking my dogs for me.
395
And don't ride them.
396
A lot of people try to ride them.
397
Oh, smells good in here.
398
Sure does.
399
Okay, we have your space heater, your humidifier, your dehumidifier, your fan, your foot fan, and your food dehydrator.
400
Aaron, what about my keyboard?
401
Ah.
402
So good to be home.
403
How about a little bossa nova?
404
Oh.
405
He looks happy.
406
Yep.
407
Oh, well, well.
408
Hmm.
409
Lost for.. what was it?
410
Oh, four and a half hours.
411
New record.
412
Whoa.
413
Previous record?
414
Henry Rosten.
415
Lost for nine years, four months.
416
And he only left because he had family matters to attend to, and he...
417
What?
418
Michael?
419
Pete?
420
Alice.
421
It's been a while, huh?
422
Oh, did you two know each other?
423
Yeah, we have a history.
424
Oh.
425
History, wow, okay.
426
We dated for two years.
427
That's so random.
428
Well, is it?
429
Andy also hired a management consultant today.
430
Oh, no. Hey, Aaron!
431
Look who's back!
432
The Birdman!
433
Hello, beautiful.
434
Didn't you two used to do it?
435
We absolutely did.
436
Thank you for remembering that.
437
She's looking good.
438
Thank you all for coming in.
439
Just wanted to check in.
440
How was everyone's day?
441
I just wanted to check in.
442
How was everyone's day?
443
Honestly, it was a little weird.
444
Really?
445
Hmm, that's interesting, because Aaron and Pete thought it wouldn't be weird at all.
446
Why do you think it was weird, Gabe?
447
Maybe because you and Aaron used to be an item?
448
I still wear Aaron's button bands around the condo sometimes, so it feels to me like we're still in a relationship a lot of the time.
449
And Alice, I understand you once dumped Pete.
450
Ouch.
451
It was an amicable breakup, Andy.
452
Okay, while we're rewriting history, you never had a drinking problem.
453
It was college.
454
That is what you do.
455
Yeah, you're also supposed to go to classes, so there's that.
456
Hey, Andy, is this at all work-related?
457
We'll get to that.
458
Gabe, did Erin ever tell you that she loves you?
459
No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She wouldn't even let me say it.
460
It was adorable.
461
She'd plug her ears and scream her heart out.
462
Can you stop talking?
463
Because every word out of your mouth is like the squawk of an ugly pelican.
464
I got a tattoo for you.
465
I didn't ask you to get that Nike swoosh.
466
Nobody did!
467
You did that for you!
468
Just do it.
469
You were the it that I was just doing.
470
So you're dating a secretary now?
471
Moving up in the world, Pete.
472
She's nice to me.
473
How's that P.E degree coming?
474
That's what he wanted to be.
475
His dream in college was to be a gym teacher.
476
Well, guess what?
477
He could still be a gym teacher.
478
In fact, we could all still be gym teachers. So, let's...
479
I technically cannot.
480
I don't have the lung capacity to blow a whistle.
481
Oh, my God.
482
What kind of music are you into, Peter?
483
Uh, I like all kinds of music, Gabe.
484
Really?
485
All kinds?
486
So you like songs of hate written by the white knights of the Ku Klux Klan?
487
No!
488
Erin, are you even hearing this?
489
Gabe, he didn't even say that.
490
He's not a very sophisticated man.
491
I mean, he can't use chopsticks, so do I need to say anything else?
492
Erin, I've been to Japan.
493
I know how to use chopsticks so well.
494
Come back.
495
One night.
496
Give me one night with you.
497
I've shaped everything.
498
I don't want you to shape everything.
499
I wasted two years of my life on you.
500
You realize that, right?
501
I just want to be real clear that chopsticks is not the measure of a man.
502
I am as smooth as a porpoise for you.
503
Why don't you say at the beginning, this isn't really going that well.
504
Just shovel his sashimi into his mouth at the support.
505
All right, all right, yes.
506
That is a legitimate question.
507
Does making Aaron and Pete feel bad make me feel better?
508
He's a simian fool and he's...
509
Yeah.
510
Yeah.
511
Yeah, it does.
512
Let's try a little social experiment here.
513
Raise your hands if you like to buy things.
514
Okay, I see some people who like to buy things.
515
You're it.
516
You are the reason that this world rolls along.
517
Give yourselves a round of applause.
518
Say you want to start a business.
519
And business is all about buying and selling, is it not?
520
So say you want to sell lemonade or stickers.
521
Something you have to keep in mind.
522
You must, and you might want to jot this down,
523
you must sell the stickers for more than you bought the stickers for.
524
Okay, I'm seeing some confused faces out there.
525
Let me slow down a little bit, break this down.
526
Okay.
527
The more stickers you sell, the more profit, fancy word for money, you have to buy PlayStations and Beanie Babies.
528
Michael, what we normally do here is more of a question and answer thing.
529
Well, okay, I'm just kind of getting going.
530
Yeah, I know.
531
All right, okay, well, we can do questions.
532
Okay, very good, first hand up.
533
Sir, as a company that primarily distributes paper, how have you adapted your business model to function in an increasingly paperless world?
534
We can't overestimate the value of computers.
535
Yes, they are great for playing games and forwarding funny emails.
536
But real business is done on paper, okay?
537
Write that down.
538
Business models are just that.
539
They are models.
540
They are not real life.
541
I used to make models when I was a kid.
542
I'd glue them together.
543
I couldn't ride them around, because they were this big, and they were made of plastic.
544
You know what I'm saying?
545
Okay.
546
Uh, what percentage of gross profits does Dunder Mifflin typically invest in research and development?
547
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
548
See, in my line of work, that is what we refer to as gobbledygook.
549
Okay?
550
Yeah.
551
What are some of the public relations challenges facing an industry that pollutes the environment while destroying trees?
552
Well, for one, our company is a very green company.
553
We use all recyclable toilet paper, which, if you've ever met some of our employees, is a huge, huge savings.
554
This woman named Phyllis and Kevin in particular, Kevin uses our recyclable toilet paper all too often.
555
And, frankly, we do cut down trees, but trees are a renewable resource,
556
which is something you can't say about oil.
557
Oil just doesn't grow on trees.
558
What do you say to a customer who wants to leave you for the convenience and savings of a nationwide chain?
559
I say you will miss our service, and I absolutely guarantee you'll come back.
560
Has anyone ever come back?
561
We don't want them back.
562
They're stupid.
563
How far has your Herfindahl index declined since the merger?
564
Nice try.
565
How's your Pollux's one index?
566
What?
567
Thanks, Kowalski.
568
Um, can we get back on track here?
569
How do you sustain morale in a business with no future?
570
I take issue with that premise.
571
That's a thing, and that's something that all of you should remember.
572
When you're in the business world, you can't always make people like you happy,
573
because there's always gonna be one jerk who's just getting under your skin and wanting something for nothing.
574
Not to say that you're a jerk, but people who ask questions like you just did are.
575
By your own employees' calculation, you'll be obsolete in the next five to ten years.
576
Wait, Ryan said that?
577
Thank you.

Cose che imparerai con questo video
Questo dialogo è una vera gemma per la pratica di conversazione in inglese, perché ti aiuta a sviluppare due abilità cruciali: la capacità di seguire un discorso spontaneo con pause e interruzioni, e la tecnica di usare espressioni colloquiali per creare connessione. Ad esempio, frasi come "Only really good friends show up early" insegnano a strutturare argomenti in modo semplice ma efficace, mentre le battute ironiche ("the sun beating down on the mayonnaise") ti insegnano a usare il tono per trasmettere emozioni. Tutte queste competenze sono perfette per il shadowing in inglese, perché il ritmo è veloce ma comprensibile.
Ascolta questi suoni chiave
Nel video, la lingua connessa (connected speech) è ovvia: frasi come "Ergo de facto" vengono pronunciate quasi come una parola sola ("ergode facto"), e "you know what" si riduce a "y'know what". Nota anche le linkature tra le parole: "it's polite to arrive" diventa "it's polite t'arrive", e "I can read you like a book" si trasforma in "I can read ya like a book". Queste riduzioni sono fondamentali per capire il inglese parlato, e esercitarlle con il shadow speech ti aiuterà a non perdere il filo nelle conversazioni reali.
Parla come un madrelingua
Per imitare il ritmo e l'accento dei parlanti, concentra ti sulla stressazione: nelle frasi come "Become a really good friend", la parola "really" è accentuata per dare enfasi, mentre "good" è leggermente più debole. Inoltre, le pause brevi dopo le domande ("Oh! Uh, potato salad?") creano un flusso naturale. Usa il shadowspeak: ripeti le frasi immediatamente dopo il video, cercando di copiare non solo le parole ma anche il tono e le pause. Questo esercizio migliorerà la tua fluidità e ti farà sentire più confidente nella pratica di conversazione in inglese. Ricorda: il segreto è non forzare, ma seguire il flusso spontaneo del dialogo.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| “Used to” used to + verbo — un’abitudine o uno stato passato che non è più vero | used to stand · used to do · used to be |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | has caused · I've been · I've shaped |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | are grown · is done · were made |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | people who like · people who ask |
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.
