Prática de Shadowing: Rolling a Reliant Robin | Top Gear | BBC - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo
Criando lição...
1
Here we go.
2
Reliant robin.
3
Oh, no. I've crashed it.
4
I've crashed it almost immediately.
5
I mean, literally, 20 feet.
6
I can't get out, obviously.
7
I'm completely stuck.
8
Luckily, people in the north of England are friendly and keen to help out.
9
Excuse me.
10
Boop, boop, boop.
11
Excuse me.
12
Oh, heavens, look who it is.
13
It's Phil Oakey.
14
Do you think you could push me back on my wheels?
15
Yeah, certainly.
16
Thanks very much.
17
No way back, sir.
18
You're.. thank you so much.
19
Thank you very much, Phil Oakey, out of the human league.
20
Pleasure.
21
I suppose, as a Sheffield boy, Phil Oakey spent a lot of his youth putting Robin Reliance back on their wheels,
22
when he wasn't rescuing waitresses from cocktails.
23
Help!
24
Again, help!
25
Where's Martin Frye?
26
Out of ABC when you need him.
27
That's a useful feature.
28
In the early days, the Robin had a 750cc engine.
29
With 32 brake horsepower on tap, 0 -50 took 22 seconds.
30
0 -60 wasn't really possible.
31
In 1975, though, Reliant fitted an 850cc engine.
32
This improved the acceleration enormously, but the consequences were catastrophic.
33
The big engine increased the top speed, too.
34
It would now do 85, and that was catastrophic as well.
35
Oh, not again!
36
Oh, no. I'm 50 years old.
37
I'm on the side on a street in Sheffield.
38
Oh, is that the sound of somebody?
39
Hello?
40
Hello.
41
Peter Stringfellow.
42
Were you just walking by, or...?
43
Oh, nearly.
44
Yes.
45
Thank you so much, Peter Stringfellow, out of lap dancing clubs.
46
My pleasure.
47
Really, I can't thank you enough.
48
To try and understand why the robin was so popular up north, I pulled over to chat to some enthusiasts.
49
How do you drive a Reliant?
50
Straight lanes.
51
You don't go round roundabouts.
52
You get to it and you see where you're coming off and you go straight across.
53
Right.
54
Try to avoid the middle.
55
Right.
56
Sack of cement on passenger seat helps.
57
Cement?
58
Sack of cement on passenger seat helps balance.
59
Why do you think Reliant owners have big toolboxes? To weigh it down.
60
I was going to say, your teeth.
61
Did you lose these in a Reliant accident?
62
You did, didn't you?
63
Why do you think, everybody, Reliance was so popular at North?
64
A lot of miners used them.
65
Yeah, but why?
66
Because they were more expensive than minis.
67
No, because a lot of miners originally started with motorbikes, and they didn't have a full driving licence.
68
So to get out of weather in winter, when it were absolutely siling it down, they bought a Reliant.
69
So, it was just because miners didn't have a driving licence?
70
Some of them, but other ones, also in winter, with them being light, you'll get your normal car stuck in snow or whatever.
71
These just simply glide over the top of it.
72
Until you get to a corner.
73
Well, as long as you live somewhere with a straight line to a pit.
74
Soon, I was back on my perilous journey.
75
In this, it feels like I'm driving through South Yorkshire in the 1970s again.
76
Because I grew up not far from here, so did James May for that matter.
77
But now we're a lad round here.
78
Whole rich people, them's as good a food.
79
It's all wheels on the car.
80
They all had larders, lardy -dars, we called them.
81
You didn't want to hit one of them, I'd tell you that for no. They were built like tanks.
82
One of the best ways to protect your robin was to lavish it with an exotic paint job, such as this Starsky and Hutch homage.
83
The idea was that having spent many hours with the spray cans and the masking tape, you'd drive more carefully.
84
But this didn't always work.
85
It really is a wonder how anyone in the north survived the 1970s.
86
Of course, a lot didn't.
87
In 1971, the population of Sheffield was 573 ,000.
88
Since then, it's dropped to just 513 ,000.
89
Some of the lost 60 ,000 moved down south, of course, but many, many,
90
many more were wiped out by their three -wheelers.
91
Today, of course, most of the Robins are gone and people up here drive Kias and Hyundai's instead.
92
And this means the local TV news channel has to think of things other than reliant crashes to put in its bulletins.
93
OK, to Braithwell in South Yorkshire now and a blooming mystery that's baffling its green -fingered residents.
94
Harry is there for us.
95
Harry, what's going on?
96
Welcome here to beautiful Braithwell.
97
You can see the sun exploding on a kaleidoscope of colour.
98
And I have to say, there's been a real area of controversy here because...
99
Oh, well, that's been big.
100
My God!
101
Are you all right, sir?
102
Are you all right?
103
Yeah, I'm getting used to it now, thanks.
104
Oh, all right.
105
Thanks very much.
106
If you could just plop me back on the wheels.
107
Thank you so much.
108
Thank you, Harry Grayson, out of Luke North.
109
Pleasure.
110
Thank you so much.
111
Thank you.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
