1
I thought you only allowed singing on a Saturday.
2
Whisky is good proofing, Walter.
3
Tells you who's real and who isn't.
4
And what did my countrymen want?
5
Oh, they're nobodies.
6
They drink of the Black Swan in Spockbrook.
7
They're only rebels because they like the Sonos.
8
You have sympathies with them?
9
I have no sympathies of any description.
10
Their accents were so thick, I wonder if you could understand them.
11
Next time I could translate.
12
You'd work for me? That I already was.
13
So you are coming to the races?
14
Two pounds, ten shillings.
15
Ten shillings.
16
Buy something red.
17
To match his handkerchief.
18
Who's handkerchief?
19
Mr Shelby, sir.
20
Mr Zayn.
21
That suit is sold, sir.
22
It's being collected this morning.
23
I know.
24
Please, gentlemen, no fighting in here.
25
It's all right.
26
So come as a friend.
27
You're collecting your suit for Cheltenham.
28
It was very nice.
29
How the bloody hell do you know?
30
I know a lot of things, Mr Kimber.
31
And as I told you before, I know the Lee brothers.
32
And I know they're gonna be at the Cheltenham races as well.
33
Yes, well they're gonna lose a lot of money on fast women and slow nabs.
34
No. They're planning on showing up in numbers and robbing your bookies, running chalk and rafflers.
35
You think I can't handle the Lees?
36
Just a word of warning from my friend, that's all.
37
I see you at Cheltenham.
38
I'll wave at you from my box.
39
If you are coming to the races, bring that pretty barmaid of yours.
40
Already invited.
41
What stable is it?
42
Are you selling that?
43
Are you sure we're allowed in here?
44
Well, I prefer to come to the races the back way.
45
Keeps me out of trouble.
46
Lawless places.
47
Can't stand pretty criminals.
48
This way.
49
Will we get to lay a bet?
50
Nah.
51
Gambling for months.
52
This way.
53
You're lucky you're with me.
54
You'd be wasting your money on fixed rates.
55
I always wondered, how do you fix a rate?
56
How should I know?
57
Okay, you do the talking.
58
What?
59
Tell security you are Lady Sarah Duggan.
60
Excuse us, excuse us.
61
Lady Sarah Duggan, come on tomorrow.
62
You got lost when you went to look for the boy riding her horse.
63
Uh, dandy flower.
64
If they ask about me, say that I'm Prussian.
65
Don't speak a word of English.
66
Come on, Bosch girl.
67
Earn your three quid.
68
I still prefer the garrison.
69
You dance.
70
If I'm asked for our blutes.
71
Lady Sarah of Connemara, will you dance with me? so I'm
72
sorry.
73
I'm sorry.
74
Roberts, the Peaky Blinders are here.
75
Told you, Mr. Kimber.
76
She's got some balls, that one.
77
She's got some body, that one.
78
So I'm not going to sleep.
79
No. No. I will.
80
I will.
81
I will.
82
I will.
83
No. No. No. No. No. No.
84
Either your left leg is stronger than your right or we're making a getaway.
85
Hey!
86
Neither.
87
I hope this doesn't involve razor blades.
88
I'm sorry to move up in the world.
89
I can't believe she's not a business man.
90
My God, you're serious.
91
I'm always serious.
92
We chased the ladies across the track right the way down to Devon Road.
93
We got every penny back.
94
Nice dress.
95
And we're at that at my pub.
96
Buy the boys a drink.
97
Anyone hurt?
98
A few cuts and blozies.
99
Off we go, lady sir.
100
Please.
101
What?
102
Steady on.
103
Excuse me.
104
Jeff?
105
Your money, Mr Kimber.
106
rescued from the Lee brothers, and returned to you with a request for a fair hearing.
107
Your own protection is failing, Mr. Kimber.
108
Your boys are taking cuts.
109
I want to suggest that from now on, you contract out your racetrack security with the Peaky Blinders.
110
We'll be saving you a lot of money, Mr. Kimber.
111
A lot of money.
112
In return, you give us...
113
5% of the take, and 3 legal betting pitches at every race meeting north of the River Seven,
114
rising to 6 after one year if we are all satisfied with the service.
115
What do you say, Mr Kimber?
116
I say you took business to my accountant.
117
I want to dance.
118
Your man said it was all right for me to have this dance.
119
MUSIC PLAYS
120
How many men can you put in the field at one time?
121
There's a lot of men out of work at the moment.
122
Two guards for every bookie.
123
At every meter.
124
We have contacts with good people among the gypsies.
125
We'll always know when the Lees plan to attack.
126
With all the strikes and troubles, can't really depend on the police.
127
Anyway, we're more honest.
128
Looks like you two are making a deal.
129
We are making progress.
130
Then let me throw a small condition into the mix.
131
So listen, we're gonna go for dinner at Kimber's house.
132
He is a place a couple of miles away.
133
I have some business to settle for us with this accountant, so you go on ahead with Kimber.
134
Just me and him?
135
Yeah.
136
Till I'm done here.
137
Is that alright?
138
Look, I'll throw in an extra th-t-t-ed, your extra time.
139
I think I'm a whore.
140
Everyone's a whore.
141
Christ.
142
We should sell different parts of ourselves.
143
You said you wanted to work for me.
144
Just do that, you have to sharpen up.
145
The deal is, I'll give him two hours with you.
146
He thinks he's a ladies man.
147
He thinks he can seduce you.
148
Whenever you want, just kick him in the balls.
149
I'm a class in a contract.
150
If you want to be part of my organization, you'll have to make sacrifices.
151
Do we have a deal?
152
As a sweetener, you can try your luck with mine.
153
Yeah, we have a deal.
154
Two hours?
155
Yeah.
156
Side bet, ten pounds is allowed the fuck in one.
157
Let's go.

Come esercitarsi con questo video

  1. Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
  2. Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
  3. Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come handkerchief, shilling, accountant.

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.
