ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Learn Advanced English with THE MORNING SHOW — Jennifer Aniston TV Series

If you want to understand how native speakers navigate difficult conversations in high -pressure situations, this lesson is for you.

You crossed a line.

How many lines have you crossed, Alex?

And I guess I'm the one with the gag order?

Because it was really clear that you wanted me to keep my mouth shut

when you called me after Hal's sentencing to check on me.

I didn't want to carry this.

I wanted it to be out in the open.

I would have told everybody.

Listen, I'm sorry, I just didn't think it was the time to tell the entire world what you had done.

You were protecting yourself because you didn't want to seem complicit.

Oh yeah, today we are diving into The Morning Show,

Jennifer Aniston's hit TV series that shows the behind the curtains of the cutthroat world of American morning television.

In the scene we'll watch, we see a confrontation between Bradley Jackson and Alex Levy, two journalists whose complicated history is about to explode.

So Bradley has returned to the network after a scandal she was involved with.

And Alex, who's now in a leadership position, questions whether this return is a good idea.

Are you ready to dive in?

Let's go.

I know, you know, it's moving a little bit fast, but it feels right.

Because if I'm being totally honest, I was going a little bit crazy out there on my own.

Yeah. So.

Yeah, no, I bet.

But honestly, I was told that you had said no. And now you're here, so I'm just, I'm a little surprised.

Okay.

Do you really think this is a good idea?

I mean, coming back here...

Uh, Mia and Stella think it's a good idea.

They told me that you were on board and that you were excited about it.

No, I never said that.

Okay.

But, you know, Bradley, they don't know what you did.

They don't know the real reason that you left.

They think Hal's the only one who overstepped.

Maybe this is an opportunity for me to make it right this time.

Okay.

I get that.

I do.

I just don't...

I just don't think UBN is the place for you to be right now.

I see.

You know?

So where exactly is the place for me, Alex?

Is it back in West Virginia or is it in prison with my brother?

Oh, please.

Bradley, who walked you to the FBI?

I was there for you.

Come on with that.

Yeah, and now you want me as far away as possible.

That's not what I said that's not what i meant what

did you mean i just don't think you should be reporting

the news right now all right now we're going to analyze all the advanced expressions

so i highly recommend you use our rap to save all the words

which will help you never forget some

and really expand your vocabulary forever the link to download the app for free is in the description

and I'll tell you more about it in a little bit.

So, first, a little context.

Bradley Jackson started her career as a local news reporter in West Virginia before becoming famous

and landing a co -anchor position on The Morning Show in New York.

However, during her time at the network, Bradley made a devastating choice.

She deleted video footage that showed her brother's involvement in the January 6 Capitol insurrection,

trying to protect him from criminal charges.

When this was discovered, Bradley left the network.

And now she's attempting to return to her old position.

I know, you know, it's moving a little bit fast, but it feels right.

Because if I'm being totally honest, I was going a little bit crazy out there on my own.

On your own means alone or without help from others.

When you're on your own, you're managing everything by yourself.

Check out this other example of this expression being used.

Can you talk about what you did the rest of the weekend?

Nothing really.

I just kayaked.

You kayaked? With who?

Nobody.

Just on my own.

I was going a little bit crazy out there on my own.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, I bet.

I bet is a casual way to say, I believe you.

It shows you agree with someone or understand their situation.

See this example.

All right, love.

How was work?

I had two conference calls, and then I took a nap.

It was exhausting.

I bet.

Do you really think this is a good idea?

I mean, coming back here...

Mia and Stella think it's a good idea.

They told me.. that you were on board and

that you were excited about it if you say you're on board with an idea

or plan you mean you agree with it

or support it for example everyone on the team is on board with the new schedule

that you were on board and

that you were excited about it oh this is a good

phrase for practicing advanced pronunciation notice how she says these three

words you were excited about it let's break down the connected

speech we heard there first the word excited the characters in this show are american

so naturally they'll pronounce this word with a flap t excited

100

a british person could say excited but an american would say excited

101

so the d sound at the end of the word gets

102

linked to the next word about then the t at the end of about also links to the next word

103

and becomes a flap T sound. About it.

104

Excited about it.

105

Finally, the T sound at the end of the word it is pronounced as a stop T, so not it, but it.

106

Like this.

107

It, it, it.

108

You just need to stop the flow of air.

109

So, excited about it.

110

All right, now it's your turn.

111

Try to repeat after Bradley.

112

You were excited about it.

113

You were excited about it.

114

When someone oversteps, they do something inappropriate, going beyond acceptable limits.

115

This is especially used in professional or social situations.

116

For example, the manager overstepped by commenting on her personal life.

117

In this case, they're talking about Bradley's brother Hal, who was convicted for his involvement in the January 6th Capitol insurrection.

118

The network leadership Mia and Stella knows about Hal's crime,

119

but they don't know that Bradley also overstepped by deleting the footage of him to protect him from prosecution.

120

So, where exactly is the place for me, Alex?

121

Is it back in West Virginia or is it in prison with my brother?

122

Oh, please, Bradley, who walked you to the FBI?

123

I was there for you.

124

Come on.

125

Yeah, and now you want me as far away as possible.

126

The phrase as far away as possible uses the pattern as adjective as possible to express the maximum degree of something.

127

For example, keep the noise as low as possible

128

or please arrive as soon as possible this is also known as the acronym ASAP alright

129

so we already covered some great expressions today

130

but you know I have to be honest with you

131

143

Okay, now let's watch the second part of the scene.

144

Things are about to get intense.

145

You crossed a line.

146

How many lines have you crossed, Alex?

147

And I guess I'm the one with the gag order?

148

Because it was really clear that you wanted me to keep my mouth shut

149

when you called me after Hal's sentencing to check on me.

150

I didn't want to carry this.

151

I wanted it to be out in the open.

152

I would have told everybody.

153

Listen, I'm sorry.

154

I just didn't think it was the time to tell the entire world what you had done.

155

You were protecting yourself because you didn't want to seem complicit.

156

Oh, my God.

157

Bradley, okay, you just don't understand.

158

You don't understand how hard the last two years have been.

159

Okay?

160

You, BN, cannot afford one more fuck up.

161

We are literally bailing water as fast as we can.

162

And what you did, if that fucking comes out...

163

We are fucked.

164

It just sinks us.

165

Deleting footage, lying about your brother.

166

I know what I did, and you know what?

167

Paul Marks has done way worse shit than me to a lot more people.

168

And from what I can see, he's living pretty great.

169

What does Paul Marks have to do with anything that you and I are talking about right now?

170

I've never understood why you didn't run everything we had on him.

171

But I guess that's your M .O.

172

Some people get a pass, and some people don't.

173

Oh, my God.

174

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

175

No, it's real clear.

176

I'm just trying to be honest with you.

177

Well, I have to get up early, so let me be honest, I'm gonna go.

178

I'll see myself out.

179

Okay.

180

Sorry about that.

181

You crossed a line.

182

How many lines have you crossed, Alex?

183

Similarly to overstepping, when you cross a line, you do something that is not acceptable.

184

You violate an important boundary story.

185

Again, for Alex, the line Bradley crossed was deleting video footage to protect her brother,

186

a serious ethical violation for a journalist whose job is to report the truth, not hide it.

187

So it won't be easy for Alex to trust Bradley again as a professional.

188

And I guess I'm the one with the gag order?

189

A gag order is a legal order preventing someone from speaking publicly about something.

190

More More informally, it can mean any situation where you are not allowed to talk about something.

191

To check on someone means to contact them to see how they are doing, especially if you are concerned about their well -being.

192

See this example.

193

Good.

194

I'll see you soon.

195

Bradley is accusing Alex of having a hidden reason.

196

She claims Alex only called her after hell's sentencing to make sure Bradley would keep quiet about deleting the footage,

197

not out of real concern.

198

Bradley believes Alex wanted to protect herself from appearing complicit.

199

I'm sorry, I just didn't think it was the time to tell the entire world what you had done.

200

You were protecting yourself because you didn't want to seem complicit.

201

When you are complicit, you share responsibility for bad actions, even if you didn't directly do them.

202

Alex knew what Bradley had done, but didn't report it, which could make her complicit in Bradley's actions.

203

I didn't want to carry this.

204

I wanted it to be out in the open.

205

I would have told everybody.

206

If something is out in the open, it is revealed publicly.

207

It's no longer a secret.

208

Everyone knows about it.

209

You don't understand.

210

I'm not afraid of you anymore, Frank.

211

Then you're misguided.

212

My past is out in the open.

213

You don't hold that over my head anymore.

214

They don't know everything, Peter.

215

Oh my God.

216

Bradley, okay, you just don't understand.

217

You don't understand how hard the last two years have been.

218

Okay, you, the end, cannot afford one more fuck up.

219

We are literally bailing water as fast as we can.

220

A fuck up is a serious mistake of failure.

221

It's a more vulgar, offensive way to say it.

222

A more friendly alternative and still casual would be screw up.

223

So Alex is saying UBN, the network, can't handle or can't survive another mistake.

224

They are bailing water as fast as they can.

225

This is a metaphor from boats.

226

When a boat is sinking, you bail or scoop out water to stay afloat.

227

So they're desperately trying to handle problems and keep UBN from failing.

228

I've been already using this expression in the lesson, footage.

229

It refers to video recordings, especially raw video material, before it's edited.

230

I know what I did, and you know what?

231

Paul Marks has done way worse shit than me to a lot more people and from what I can see, he's living pretty great.

232

What does Paul Marx have to do with anything that you and I are talking about?

233

I've never understood why you didn't run everything we had on him.

234

But I guess that's your MO.

235

Some people get a pass and some people don't.

236

MO stands for modus operandi, Latin for method of operating.

237

It means someone's typical way of doing things.

238

For example, his MO is to arrive late and blame traffic.

239

We believe his guy is doing the lead work for him.

240

Julian Vincent, nasty son of a bitch.

241

Murder, extortion.

242

This is his MO.

243

But I guess that's your MO.

244

Some people get a pass and some people don't.

245

To get a pass means to be forgiven for something that others would be punished for.

246

When someone gets a pass, The rules aren't applied to them equally.

247

For example, the boss's nephew always gets a pass when he shows up late.

248

I'm just trying to be honest with you.

249

Well, I have to get up early, so let me be honest.

250

I'm gonna go.

251

I'll see myself out.

252

If you see yourself out, you leave without needing someone to walk you to the door.

253

Normally, it's used as a polite way to say you'll find your own way out.

254

Brothers, you know my spirit is with you.

255

But we risk antagonizing a sleeping giant if we fail.

256

I'll see myself, Al.

257

Alright, now it's time for the test.

258

This is the most important step of the lesson.

259

We're going to test your comprehension by watching the entire scene again, this time without subtitles, and I'll ask you some quiz questions.

260

So, let's go!

261

I know, you know, it's moving a little bit fast, but it feels right.

262

because if I'm being totally honest, I was going a little bit crazy out there on my own.

263

Yeah.

264

Yeah, no, I bet.

265

But honestly, I was told that you had said no, and now you're here, so I'm just a little surprised.

266

Okay.

267

Do you really think this is a good idea?

268

I mean, coming back here...

269

Mia and Stella think it's a good idea they told me

270

that you were on board and that someone is on board with a plan

271

when they understand what it involves are okay with it or have no strong opinion

272

you were excited about it no i never said that Okay.

273

But, you know, Bradley, they don't know what you did.

274

They don't know the real reason that you left.

275

They think Hal's the only one who overstepped.

276

Maybe this is an opportunity for me to make it right this time.

277

Okay.

278

I get that.

279

I do.

280

I just don't...

281

I just don't think UBN is the place for you to be right now.

282

I see.

283

You know?

284

So where exactly is the place for me, Alex?

285

Is it back in West Virginia or is it in prison with my brother?

286

Oh, please, Bradley, who walked you to the FBI?

287

I was there for you.

288

Come on with that.

289

Yeah, and now you want me as far away as possible.

290

That's not what I said.

291

That's not what I meant.

292

What did you mean?

293

I just don't think you should be reporting the news right now.

294

You crossed a line.

295

How many lines have you crossed, Alex?

296

I guess I'm the one with the gag order?

297

Because it was really clear that you wanted me to keep my mouth shut

298

when you called me after Hal's sentencing to check on me.

299

If you check on a colleague after bad news, you verify their story is true, monitor their work performance, or see how they are doing.

300

I don't want to carry this.

301

I wanted it to be out in the open.

302

I would have told everybody.

303

Listen, I'm sorry.

304

I just didn't think it was the time to tell the entire world what you had done.

305

You were protecting yourself because you didn't want to seem complicit.

306

Oh my god.

307

Bradley, okay, you just don't understand.

308

You don't understand How hard the last two years have been.

309

Okay, UVN cannot afford one more fuck up.

310

We are literally bailing water as fast as we can.

311

What does Alex mean by saying they're bailing water?

312

They are desperately trying to prevent failure, taking care of issues after issues.

313

him.

314

But I guess that's your M .O.

315

Someone's M .O reveals their expected behavior, main motivation for actions, or moral character.

316

Some people get a pass, and some people don't.

317

Oh my God, you've got to be fucking kidding me.

318

No, it's real clear.

319

I'm just trying to be honest with you.

320

Well, I have to get up early, so let me be honest.

321

I'm going to go.

322

I'll see myself out.

323

Okay.

324

Sorry about that.

325

Great job!

331

You are, you're lying to me.
