Hello, Wentworth.
2
I like your look and I like your name.
3
It's such a good name.
4
I think I mentioned that last time you were here.
5
It's just a great name.
6
I have something for you.
7
I saw somebody put something down there.
8
What you got?
9
It's a gift.
10
I heard it was your fifth anniversary, so I wanted to give you something.
11
And I remember seeing a clip of Smoking Donkey.
12
We used to have the Smoking Donkey on the table, yes.
13
Yes.
14
I think this is a little companion piece.
15
Now he's got a friend.
16
Oh, my.
17
It's the drinking bear.
18
This is vintage?
19
This is vintage.
20
I found this at a pawn shop outside of Dallas, Texas.
21
Oh, and he pours it.
22
Oh, and he drinks it.
23
Fantastic.
24
Thank you.
25
That's great.
26
I wonder how many animals they thought of before they decided upon the bear that would drink.
27
They...
28
Usually chimpanzees they make do all those things.
29
Yeah, just a little something for the kids.
30
It's great.
31
Great.
32
I don't know where the smoking dog is.
33
We thought it was not cool to be putting smoking out there. Of course.
34
So we decided to take it away.
35
But there's nothing wrong with a drinking bear.
36
Uh-uh.
37
No. Now, speaking of smoking, because it's bad for you, you know, it's really bad for you.
38
And you recently just quit, right?
39
Yes, I did.
40
I did.
41
Great.
42
How long did you smoke?
43
Did you smoke for a long time?
44
I did.
45
I was smoking on and off for about 10 years.
46
But I've had maybe four or five cigarettes in the last eight months.
47
So as far as I'm concerned, that's quitting.
48
Yeah.
49
I think that's pretty good.
50
So that's good.
51
So that means you haven't totally quit.
52
That means you're not completely addicted, that you're going to start all the way up again.
53
No, I think I'm done with it, which is great.
54
Yeah, how'd you do it?
55
Well, you know, I didn't want to try the patch, because I thought chemicals got me into this.
56
I don't want to use chemicals to get me out of this.
57
I just want to stop cold turkey on my own willpower.
58
I think that's the best way to do it.
59
Now, is it hard, like everybody, because it just seems like the kind of set where there's a bunch of guys just sitting around, because there's a lot of down time.
60
Do a lot of guys smoke on the set?
61
They do.
62
They do, but my new addiction is a Blackberry.
63
Oh, really?
64
Yeah, constantly on the Blackberry.
65
Keep your hands busy.
66
Exactly.
67
Exactly.
68
And speaking of the show and the set, I can't not ask this.
69
I mean, Lane Garrison, who had such a tragedy.
70
I mean, it was just such a horrible thing that happened, the drunk driving incident.
71
And I've seen him sobbing.
72
He clearly is remorseful.
73
And he's, I don't know if you know the story.
74
He didn't even know that the kids, they were killed when he was driving drunk.
75
And a couple of 15-year-olds or something, right?
76
And so have you talked to him or do you have...
77
Not recently, but I did get a chance to spend some time with Lane when he was working on the show,
78
and all I can say is that he is essentially a very sweet kid who made a horrific mistake.
79
Obviously, there are no excuses.
80
Nothing's going to bring that boy back, and he'll spend the rest of his life paying for it.
81
And I was really proud of him that he stepped forward and took full responsibility for his actions.
82
Yeah, yeah, it's it just shows you I mean, I'm sure he was a great guy and just one
83
That's a bad decision that should show you you don't you don't drink
84
and drive you don't fool around with it No matter what a great person you are.
85
It's just not worth it.
86
You know to take that chance It's a serious segment on Ellen today.
87
Yeah, it is Well, you know,
88
that's a no, let's let's get lighter then Take your shirt off Well,
89
you had the tattoos before.
90
You're back in prison again.
91
You were out, now you're back in prison.
92
That's right.
93
And so now, and you had the tattoos before.
94
You were always like this.
95
And now, you don't have the tattoos.
96
Right.
97
So you have to just wear a shirt all the time to cover?
98
I'm in a long sleeve t-shirt.
99
To pretend to cover all that.
100
Yeah, and it's supposed to be down in Panama.
101
It's supposed to be hot.
102
We're sweating.
103
We're shooting the show in Dallas, so it's like 110 degrees every day.
104
It's a nightmare.
105
And humid, too.
106
And humid, yeah.
107
Yeah.
108
And what is that?
109
Like, that must be, and it's not like a, they don't try to make it look real clean.
110
It's a prison.
111
It's a bad, bad prison.
112
Yeah, you're supposed to be dirty.
113
You're supposed to be sweaty.
114
All the actors before every take were standing there with our own little spritz bottles, spraying ourselves down just to sell the story that we're supposed to be selling, which is funny to me
115
because I can remember driving around Los Angeles way before my career had started in this 1982 beat up Toyota Cressida.
116
The AC was shot.
117
The windows were down.
118
I've got like a spritz bottle rolling around the car like underneath my seat.
119
And I'd pull up to an intersection or the red light
120
or something and I'd spray myself down just to like stay cool. And now?
121
The universe has a really bizarre sense of humor.
122
That spritz bottle.
123
Is it the same one or no?
124
You didn't hold onto it?
125
I've upgraded.
126
All right.
127
Thanks for being here.
128
My pleasure.
129
The third season.
130
And thanks for my drinking beer.
131
Oh, you're welcome.
132
The third season of Prison Break premieres tonight at 8 o'clock on Fox.
133
We'll look at some of the highlights from my vlogs after this.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

Assistir e praticar a fala com o vídeo de Wentworth Miller é uma maneira excelente de aprimorar suas habilidades em prática de conversação em inglês. Neste trecho, vemos um diálogo descontraído e autêntico, o que permite que você se familiarize com expressões coloquiais e o fluxo natural da língua. Ao focar em diálogos reais, como o deste vídeo, você pode aprender a expressar-se de maneira mais fluente e confiante.

A prática de shadow speak, ou "shadowing", ajuda você a copiar a entonação e o ritmo do falante, melhorando não apenas a fala, mas também a compreensão auditiva. Além disso, a abordagem visual e auditiva ao aprender inglês com YouTube facilita a retenção de informações e aumenta sua motivação.

Gramática & Expressões em Contexto

  • “I like your look”: Uma maneira informal e amigável de elogiar alguém. Aqui, você pode aprender como fazer cumprimentos de maneira natural.
  • “I wanted to give you something”: O uso do passado "wanted" indica uma intenção que foi realizada. Essa estrutura é muito usada em contextos de presentear e compartilhar ideias.
  • “I did.”: Resposta curta e direta, perfeita para diálogos. É um exemplo de como manter uma conversa fluida sem repetir informações desnecessárias.
  • “So far as I'm concerned”: Uma expressão que significa "na minha opinião". Indicada para expressar pontos de vista pessoais de uma forma mais composta.

Essas estruturas não apenas enriquecem seu vocabulário, mas também fornecem contextos reais para o uso da língua, facilitando sua prática de conversação em inglês.

Evitar Traps de Pronúncia Comuns

Durante o vídeo, alguns termos e expressões podem apresentar armadilhas de pronúncia, especialmente para falantes de português. Palavras como “fantastic” e “vintage” podem ser desafiadoras devido ao uso de sons vocálicos que não existem em português. Preste atenção ao modo como Wentworth Miller articula as palavras: a entonação pode ajudar você a captar a pronúncia correta.

Outra armadilha pode ser a expressão “smoking”. O uso do som “sm” seguido de consoantes pode ser complicado. Para melhorar, experimente técnicas de shadowing em inglês, repetindo as falas enquanto ouve o vídeo. Isso não apenas ajudará na pronúncia, mas também reforçará a compreensão auditiva.

Ao praticar com vídeos como este, você não só melhora sua capacidade de comunicação, mas também se diverte enquanto aprende. Portanto, aproveite as discussões informais para expandir seu conhecimento e habilidade no inglês!

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.
