Harvard Law School?
2
That's right.
3
But that's a top three school.
4
Oh, I have a 4 .0.
5
Yes.
6
But your major is fashion merchandising.
7
Harvard won't be impressed that you aced history of polka dots.
8
What are your backups?
9
I don't need backups.
10
I'm going to Harvard.
11
Oh my god.
12
What are you doing?
13
Reading about the LSATs.
14
My cousin had that.
15
The LSATs are an exam.
16
Girls, I'm going to Harvard.
17
You mean like on vacay?
18
Let's all go!
19
Road trip!
20
No!
21
I'm going to Harvard Law School.
22
Why?
23
Why?
24
Okay, once Warner sees me as a serious law student, he'll totally want me back.
25
It's a completely brilliant plan!
26
But isn't it hard to get into law school?
27
Well, I have the highest GPA.
28
Or neither type of rap is on sale.
29
B, neither type of jazz, neither type of opera is on sale.
30
Hey!
31
Don't you know we want to!
32
Hey.
33
Uh -uh.
34
Okay, okay.
35
Set and go!
36
143 143
37
143 143 That's why you should vote for me,
38
Elle Woods, future lawyer for the class of 2004.
39
I totally love the part.
40
Hi.
41
Hey.
42
What are you talking about?
43
I'm sorry, are you here to see me?
44
No, silly.
45
I go here.
46
Got into Harvard Law?
47
What, like it's hard?
48
And Callahan's internship next year.
49
This is gonna be so much.
50
Oh, Al.
51
Come on, you're never gonna get the grades to qualify for one of those spots.
52
You're not smart enough, sweetie.
53
Wait, am I on glue, or did we not get into the same law school, Warner?
54
I'll show you how valuable Al Woods can be.
55
I'm taking full control.
56
I'm taking on my own.
57
No. What's you doing, Cuts?
58
What next?
59
Ms. Warts?
60
Don't you need to have evidence?
61
No, no. Meaning you need reasonable belief that your claim should have, like...
62
Evidentiary support?
63
And what kind of evidentiary support does this case?
64
In the article, they talk about all sorts of things.
65
Corrupt cops. To negate men's riot?
66
He was also a private sperm donor, was allowed visitation rights as long as he came to terms with the hours set forth by the parents.
67
So if we're sticking to past precedent, I mean, Mr. Latimer wasn't stalking.
68
He was clearly within his rights to ask for visitation.
69
But Swinney was a one -time sperm donor.
70
And in our case, the defendant was an habitual sperm donor who also happens to be harassing the parents in his quest for visitation.
71
Well, yeah, but I mean, without this man's sperm, the child in question wouldn't exist.
72
Now you're thinking like a lawyer.
73
Yes, Ms. Woods.
74
Although Mr. Huntington makes an excellent point, I have to wonder if the defendant kept a thorough record of every sperm emission made throughout his life.
75
Interesting.
76
Why do you ask?
77
Well, unless the defendant attempted to contact every single one -night stand to determine if a child resulted in those unions,
78
he has no parental claim over this child whatsoever.
79
Why now?
80
Why this sperm?
81
I see your point.
82
And for that matter, all masturbatory emissions where his sperm was clearly not seeking an egg could be termed reckless abandonment.
83
I believe you've just won your case.
84
Hans!
85
He picked him already?
86
Oh my god!
87
I can't believe the order!
88
We got it!
89
That only needs one for...
90
Me!
91
Elle Woods, Your Honor.
92
Rule 3 .03 of Supreme Judicial Court states that a law student may appear on behalf of a defendant in criminal proceedings.
93
Your Honor, I have no problem with this.
94
I do.
95
I'm not allowing it.
96
Oh, but you agreed last night in your office when we were discussing my career.
97
Exactly.
98
Because isn't it the first cardinal rule of perm maintenance
99
that you're forbidden to wet your hair for at least 24 hours after getting a perm, at the risk of deactivating the ammonium thyglocolate?
100
Yes.
101
And wouldn't somebody who's had, say, 30 perms before in their life be well aware of this rule?
102
What?
103
And if, in fact, you weren't washing your hair, as I suspect you weren't because your curls are still intact, wouldn't you have heard the gunshot?
104
And if, in fact, you had heard the gunshot, Brooke Windham wouldn't have had time to hide the gun before you got downstairs, which would mean
105
that you would have had to have found Mrs. Windham with a gun in her hand to make your story plausible.
106
Isn't that right?
107
She's my age.
108
Did she tell you that?
109
How would you feel if your father married someone who was your age?
110
You, however, had time to hide the gun, didn't you, Chetney?
111
After you shot your father.
112
I didn't mean to shoot him.
113
I thought it was you walking through the door.
114
Order!
115
Order!
116
Order!
117
Oh, my God.
118
Oh, my God.
119
Oh, my God.
120
Congratulations, class of 2004.
121
We did it!
122
Thank you.

Per chi è questo video?

Questo video è perfetto per gli studenti di inglese a livello intermedio o avanzato che vogliono migliorare la conversazione e la pronuncia, oltre a trovare ispirazione. Ideale per chi pratica il shadow speech (ripetizione immediata del discorso) e vuole lavorare su espressioni colloquiali e intonazione naturale. Se vuoi imparare l'inglese con i video in modo divertente e pratico, questo è un ottimo punto di partenza.

Parole e modi di dire da rubare

  • "Got into Harvard Law? What, like it's hard?": Espressione ironica per minimizzare una difficoltà. "Come se fosse difficile?" è la traduzione libera, ma il tono è chiave.
  • "I don't need backups": "Non ho bisogno di alternative". Utile in contesti di decisione ferma.
  • "aced history of polka dots": "Superato con voti alti l'esame di storia dei pois". "Aced" significa superare con successo, spesso con punteggi elevati.
  • "totally brilliant plan": "Pianificazione geniale". "Totally" è un intensificatore colloquiale, simile a "completamente" in italiano.

Come ottenere l'accento giusto

La protagonista, Elle Woods, ha un accento americano chiaro e veloce, con un tono alto e energico. Per imitarla:
- Intonazione: Elevare il tono alla fine delle domande retoriche (es. "What, like it's hard?") per sottolineare l'ironia.
- Velocità: Le frasi colloquiali sono pronunciate rapidamente, ma con pause chiare tra le idee. Pratica il shadowspeak ripetendo immediatamente dopo di lei, cercando di corrispondere alla sua tempistica.
- Dizione: Le consonanti "t" e "d" sono spesso "molli" (es. "got into" diventa "goh-into"). Ascolta attentamente come elaide le sillabe non stressate.
Questi esercizi aiutano a migliorare la pratica di conversazione in inglese e a rendere il tuo discorso più naturale.

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.
