Chapter 2 The Man With No Name Where am I?
2
All these lights.
3
So many people.
4
White coats.
5
Talking.
6
Talking.
7
I don't want to hear them.
8
I don't understand their words.
9
I must find Lida.
10
I must help her.
11
How can I find her?
12
I cannot live without her.
13
My Lida, my songbird.
14
The hospital day starts very early.
15
At seven o'clock, the nurses took the man downstairs for his scan.
16
By nine o'clock, he was back in bed on the ward, and a different doctor came to see him.
17
Well, good news, young man, the doctor said.
18
Your head injury is not very bad.
19
You're going to be fine.
20
How are you feeling now?
21
The man did not answer.
22
He sat up in bed and looked at the doctor and then at the nurse.
23
Then he turned his face away and stared out of the window.
24
Hmm, said the doctor.
25
He took out a pen and slowly moved it from side to side in front of the man's face.
26
The man's eyes did not move.
27
Shock, said the doctor.
28
Shock can do this to the brain sometimes, and then it can forget how to speak.
29
He turned to the nurse.
30
Is he saying anything to you?
31
No, not a word, the nurse said.
32
Is he eating and drinking all right?
33
Yes, no problems there, said the nurse.
34
Well, call me when the police arrive.
35
Somebody's coming at midday to ask questions.
36
Why? said the nurse.
37
The poor man is ill.
38
He's a man with no name, no papers, nothing.
39
Where did he come from?
40
The police want to know.
41
When the policeman arrived, the nurse took him to her patient.
42
Please be gentle, she said.
43
He has a head injury, and we think he's still in shock after his accident.
44
Good afternoon, sir, the policeman said to the man in the bed.
45
I need to ask you some questions, please.
46
What's your name and where are you from?
47
The policeman held his pen, ready to write down the answers.
48
But there were no answers.
49
He tried again.
50
Why were you on the beach yesterday?
51
Why were your clothes wet?
52
Did you fall off a boat?
53
No answer.
54
The man closed his eyes and turned his face to the wall.
55
How did you hurt your head?
56
Did somebody hit you?
57
No answer.
58
The policeman spoke more loudly.
59
Come on now, what's your name?
60
The nurse and the doctor then arrived.
61
What are you doing? said the nurse.
62
There's no need to shout.
63
He can hear very well.
64
But he's not answering my questions, the policeman said.
65
Who he is?
66
Where does he come from?
67
We don't know, said the doctor.
68
Can't the questions wait for a day or two?
69
Let him rest now.
70
They moved away from the patient's bed.
71
I need a name, the policeman said.
72
I can put a name through the police computer.
73
Where does he come from?
74
Is he an illegal immigrant?
75
he fall off a boat full of illegal immigrants?
76
We need to know these things.
77
Without a name, I can't do anything.
78
Is he even English?
79
Was there nothing in the pockets of his clothes?
80
Where are his clothes? said the doctor.
81
I can find them, I think, the nurse said.
82
She went away and came back a few minutes later with the man's clothes.
83
They were white with salt from the seawater.
84
There was nothing in the pockets, no papers, nothing with a name on.
85
What about the labels in the clothes?
86
The policeman said.
87
They can sometimes tell you something.
88
The nurse found a label in the back of the shirt.
89
Look, she said.
90
That's not English, the doctor said.
91
Can you read it, nurse?
92
No, the nurse said.
93
It looks like some Eastern European language.
94
Russian, perhaps?
95
Maybe, the policeman said.
96
So perhaps your patient isn't English.
97
He can't answer the questions because he doesn't understand them.
98
Hmm, said the doctor.
99
I think he's not answering because he can't speak, in any language.
100
Something happened to him.
101
We don't know what, but it was bad.
102
I can bring a police interpreter tomorrow, said the policeman.
103
He can try a few languages on him.
104
And now I must go and ask a lot of questions about boats and ships near here yesterday.
105
Perhaps he fell off a boat and somebody is looking for him.
106
The policeman left, but there was no rest yet for the man from the sea.
107
It was a busy hospital, with accidents coming in all the time.
108
We can't keep him in this ward tonight, the doctor said.
109
We need the bed.
110
Take him over to the psychiatric unit.
111
They can give him a bed for a few nights.
112
Perhaps they can help him with speaking.
113
Ask for nurse Avril O'Brien.
114
She's very good with patients like these.
115
Thank you.
116
Thank you.
117
Thank you.

Почему стоит практиковать речь на этом видео?

Видео «The piano man Chapter 2» — отличная возможность для практики разговорного английского в естественной ситуации. Диалог врача, медсестры и пострадавшего человека создаёт реалистичный контекст: вопросы, эмоции, неопределённость. Это идеально подходит для shadow speech (т.е. повторения за говорящим сразу же), потому что речь здесь не слишком быстрая, а тема близка к повседневным ситуациям. Тренируясь с таким материалом, вы научитесь понимать разговорную речь и отвечать на вопросы, даже если они неожиданные — это ключевой навык для реальных коммуникаций!

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

В диалоге используются простые, но важные структуры, которые стоит запомнить:

  • Вопросы с «why» и «where»: «Why were you on the beach yesterday?», «Where am I?» — такие вопросы часто встречаются в разговорах, и важно уметь их формулировать и понимать. Обратите внимание на порядок слов (вопросительная форма).
  • Прошедшее простое время: «The nurses took the man downstairs» — описание действий в прошлом. Это базовая грамматика, но важно правильно использовать её в контексте.
  • Фразы для выражения состояния: «I don't want to hear them», «He's going to be fine» — такие выражения помогают передать эмоции и мнения. Учите их, чтобы ваша речь была более живой.

Трудные моменты в произношении

Некоторые слова могут вызвать сложности при повторении. Например:

  • «Shock» — произносится как /ʃɒk/ (шок), но часто слышно как /ʃɑːk/ в американском английском. Обратите внимание на звук «о», который здесь мягкий.
  • «Scan» — /skæn/ (скан). Легко спутать с «skin» (/skɪn/ — кожа), поэтому слушайте внимательно.
  • «Ward» — /wɔːd/ (палата). Звук «ор» здесь долгий, не стоит сокращать его.

Для Shadowing английский важно повторять не только слова, но и интонацию. Обратите внимание, как доктор говорит «Well, good news» — с положительной интонацией, а пострадавший молчит, что передаёт его состояние. Это поможет вам сделать свою речь более выразительной!

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
