1
Hello.
2
So, I gather you denied that Mr. Halifax's phone had been bugged.
3
Well, obviously.
4
It was the one question today to which I could give a clear, simple, straightforward, honest answer.
5
Yes.
6
Unfortunately, although the answer was indeed clear, simple and straightforward, there is some difficulty in justifiably assigning to it the fourth of the epithets you applied to the statement,
7
inasmuch as the precise correlation between the information you communicated And the facts, insofar as they can be determined and demonstrated,
8
is such as to cause epistemological problems
9
of sufficient magnitude as to lay upon the logical and semantic resources of the English language
10
a heavier burden than they can reasonably be expected to bear.
11
Epistemological?
12
What are you talking about?
13
You told a lie.
14
A lie?
15
A lie.
16
What do you mean, a lie?
17
I mean you.. lied.
18
Yes, I know this is a difficult concept to get across to a politician.
19
You were...
20
I'm sorry.
21
Ah, yes, you did love to tell the truth.
22
You mean, we are bugging you Halifax's telephone?
23
We were.
24
We were?
25
When did we stop?
26
Um, 17 minutes ago.
27
Well, you can't call that lying.
28
What would you call the opposite of telling the truth?
29
Well, I mean, there was no intent.
30
I didn't mean to deceive them.
31
I'd never knowingly mislead the house.
32
Nonetheless, you have done so.
33
Well, it wasn't my fault.
34
I didn't know he was being bugged.
35
Mr. You are deemed to have known you are ultimately responsible.
36
Why wasn't I told?
37
The Home Secretary might not have felt the need to inform you.
38
Why?
39
Perhaps he didn't know either.
40
Or perhaps he'd been advised that you did not need to know.
41
Well, I did need to know.
42
Apparently the fact that you needed to know was not known at the time
43
that the now known need to know was known.
44
And therefore those that needed to advise and inform the Home Secretary perhaps felt
45
that the information
46
that he needed as to whether to inform the highest authority the highest authority of the known information was not yet known.
47
And therefore there was no authority for the authority to be informed
48
because the need to know was not at that time known or needed.
49
What?
50
We did not know that you would deny it in the House.
51
Well, obviously I would if I didn't know and I were asked.
52
We did not know that you would be asked when you didn't know.
53
There's bound to be asked when I didn't know if I didn't know.
54
What?
55
It was thought that it was better not to inform you.
56
You see, Hugh Halifax is one of your government team and as such, it was thought that it was better not to create distrust.
57
We only tell you when you should be aware.
58
When's that?
59
You should now be aware because you've just denied it.
60
Well, it would be rather more helpful if I'd been aware before I denied it.
61
On the contrary, Prime Minister, if you had been aware before you denied it, you wouldn't have denied it.
62
But I needed to know.
63
We do not always tell you about bugging when you need to know.
64
You see, at times, Prime Minister, we need you not to know.
65
Why did you decide that I didn't need to know?
66
I didn't.
67
Well, who did?
68
Nobody.
69
It was just that nobody decided to tell you.
70
Well, it's the same thing.
71
On the contrary, Prime Minister, to decide to conceal information from you is a heavy burden for any official to shoulder,
72
but to decide not to reveal information to you is routine procedure.
73
Humphrey, I need to know everything.
74
Everything?
75
Everything.
76
Very well.
77
Stationary deliveries this week to the Commonwealth system.
78
Four dozen brackets of size two-paces.
79
Humphrey, don't be silly.
80
I mean important things.
81
Who should decide what is important?
82
Humphrey, how can you possibly defend this cock-up?
83
Well, as you said in the House, we got it wrong.
84
You got it wrong?
85
I, Prime Minister, I am merely a humble servant, a lowly official.
86
The Home Secretary made the decision.
87
Can you think of any reason why I shouldn't ask him to resign?
88
With respect, Prime Minister, you should only ask him to resign
89
when he has made a mistake which could have been seen at the time and not with the benefit of hindsight.
90
But you see, the trouble today has arisen because of your own error of judgment in making this denial.
91
What?
92
You should not have denied something about which you did not know.
93
That was your fault.
94
You've just admitted keeping secrets from the Prime Minister.
95
Not at all, Prime Minister.
96
The system works perfectly well as long as the Prime Minister tells the civil service everything
97
that he's going to say before he says it.
98
But if precipitately he says something without first clearing it with his officials, he has only himself to blame, you must not say anything in public without first clearing it.
99
With respect, Prime Minister, you must learn discretion.
100
I didn't know there was anything to be discreet about.
101
In government, there's always something to be discreet about.

Почему стоит практиковать речь на этом видео?

Этот диалог — отличная возможность для практики разговорного английского! Он демонстрирует живую, естественную речь с элементами юмора и сложных аргументов, что идеально подходит для shadow speak (техники повторения за говорящим). Вы научитесь чувствовать ритм разговорного языка, улучшите интонацию и научитесь реагировать на неожиданные вопросы — все это важно для уверенного общения. А если вы учите английский по видео, то такой контент поможет понять, как носители используют сложные структуры в быту.

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

В диалоге много интересных конструкций, которые стоит запомнить:

  • "inasmuch as" — это формальный синоним "because" или "since". Например: "there is difficulty in assigning the epithet, inasmuch as the correlation is problematic" (есть трудности с присвоением эпитета, так как корреляция проблематична). Полезно для логических связей в речи.
  • "deemed to have known" — означает "считается, что знал". В видео: "you are deemed to have known" (считается, что вы знали). Эта структура часто используется в официальных или юридических контекстах.
  • "the need to know" — фраза, обозначающая "необходимость знания". В диалоге она повторяется, что помогает запомнить её использование в разных формах: "the now known need to know" (теперь известная необходимость знания).

Эти выражения сделают вашу речь более разнообразной и приближенной к носителям.

Трудные места для произношения

В видео есть слова, которые могут вызвать сложности. Например: "epistemological" (эпистемологический) — длинное слово с ударением на втором слоге: e-pi-ste-mo-LO-gi-cal. Также стоит обратить внимание на интонацию в вопросах типа "What are you talking about?" — здесь поднимается тон на слове "talking", что важно для передачи удивления. А фраза "there was no intent" произносится быстро, с редукцией "was no" до "wuz no". Для Shadowing английский рекомендуется повторять эти фрагменты медленно, сначала разбирая звуки, а потом дублируя ритм и интонацию.

Пractise shadow speak с этим видео: включите запись, остановите после каждой реплики и повторите её, стараясь совпадать по темпу и интонации. Это поможет улучшить ваше произношение и уверенность в разговоре. Учиться английский по видео с использованием shadowspeak — это эффективный способ стать свободнее в общении!

Грамматика в этом видео

Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:

КонструкцияВ видео
Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делаетhad been bugged · be expected · being bugged
Present Perfect have/has + причастие прошедшего времени — прошлое действие, важное сейчасhave done · you've just denied · has made

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.
