1
where's your gatekeeper any tom dick or harry can just waltz right in
2
well i don't see any toms or harry's here but
3
let's learn english with lewis and harvey from the popular legal series suits so in
4
that first line we heard from lewis he used a lot
5
of advanced expressions first a gatekeeper is someone who controls access to a person
6
or place donna harvey's secretary usually acts as his gatekeeper, but she is absent, and we'll find out why later.
7
Next, a waltz is a dance, and if you waltz in a place, you enter there confidently or without permission.
8
Imagine you have a boss who treats you terribly, and you can't take it anymore.
9
You would probably waltz into their office and tell them you quit.
10
And who could waltz into Harvey's office?
11
Why, any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
12
This is a funny old expression that means any random person, and we usually use it to complain.
13
Finally, Harvey turns this around into a joke.
14
Dick can be a name, short for Richard, like Dick Cheney, who is Vice President of the USA.
15
But you can also use it as an insult for a man who you find stupid or unworthy.
16
Obviously, it's very rude.
17
So Harvey's saying he does not see any Toms or Harrys, but he jokes that Louis is a dick.
18
Now, don't just learn these expressions and then forget them.
19
If you want to feel confident when you speak, to speak naturally, just like you do your mother tongue,
20
then you need to be able to access these expressions when you get into a real conversation.
21
So I have just the thing for you.
22
I want to give you access to all of the smart flashcards from this lesson with suits for free.
23
You can practice with them in our app by clicking the link below.
24
Thousands of learners just like you are becoming more fluent
25
and having fun while doing it so if
26
that sounds like something you'd like be sure to try out
27
our method you only need a few minutes a day to see real progress
28
now let's see what lewis is doing in harvey's office
29
okay can we just please cut the small talk
30
and you let me know what i'm not privy to
31
so first you hand me ross on a silver platter then
32
don is not at her desk for days you think
33
that i don't know that there's a power struggle going on between jessica and hartman I mean, I haven't always been, um, well -behaved, but I can help you on this.
34
You just got to trust me.
35
Lewis, go away.
36
All right, so we're going to break down all of the advanced expressions and pronunciation that we just saw.
37
But first, let me give you a bit of context about the scene.
38
Daniel Hardman, one of Pearson Hardman's founding partners, had just returned after being forced out years earlier over a scandal.
39
He was caught misusing the firm's money.
40
Hardman is now scheming to push Jessica Pearson out and take his old position back.
41
Jessica and Harvey know Hardman can't be trusted.
42
So they're deliberately hiding a serious problem from him.
43
Harvey is being accused of fraud by an old rival, Travis Tanner, over a case involving a defective car part.
44
And if it comes out, it could destroy the whole firm.
45
They don't trust Lewis with this information, but he knows that they're hiding something from him.
46
And that's where the scene begins.
47
Okay, can we just please cut the small talk and you let me know what I'm not privy to?
48
Small talk is light, casual conversation people make, like talking about the weather or how your weekend was.
49
So to cut the small talk means to skip that and get straight to the point.
50
Lewis is telling Harvey to stop joking around and just tell him what's actually going on.
51
Listen to this example.
52
Good morning, Andrea.
53
How are you?
54
Maggie, I have a meeting with the board in 20 minutes, so can we please just cut the small talk?
55
Um, yes.
56
lewis then continued with this advanced expression okay can we just please cut the small talk
57
and you let me know what i'm not privy to what do you think it means
58
if you're not privy to something
59
someone shared information with you nobody has shared information with you you know information is being hidden
60
right if you're not privy to information it means you don't have access to it We could also say
61
that you're being kept out of the loop.
62
Check out these examples.
63
Alright, then we hear Lewis list the evidence that shows him something is going on.
64
So, first you hand me Ross on a silver platter, then Donna's not at her desk for days.
65
You think that I don't know that there's a power struggle going on between Jessica and Hartman?
66
So, if you hand someone something on a silver platter, you're giving it to them in the easiest way possible, with zero effort required on their part.
67
Think of a butler literally serving food on a shiny silver tray.
68
That's the picture.
69
Listen to this way natives use it.
70
You want everything handed to you on a silver platter.
71
I mean, we were interns, Nancy.
72
Interns!
73
You won't get near a jury
74
because I'm going to make sure they know Mike Ross handed you this case on a silver platter.
75
But listen to how Lewis actually uses it here.
76
So first you hand me Ross on a silver platter.
77
He's being sarcastic.
78
Harvey had recently loaned him Mike to help with a case, which seemed like a nice, generous move at the time.
79
Now Lewis is looking back and implying it wasn't really kindness.
80
It felt like he was being distracted or kept busy while something else was going on behind his back.
81
Next, he points out exactly what he has noticed is happening with the firm's management.
82
Then Don is not at her desk for days.
83
You think that I don't know that there's a power struggle going on between Jessica and Hartman?
84
A power struggle is a conflict between two people or groups who are both trying to gain control or authority.
85
Have you seen House of the Dragon?
86
That series is about a bloody power struggle between two parts of the Targaryen family.
87
Here's another example.
88
The Eternals have their games.
89
The Guardians have their power struggles.
90
And I bet you feel pretty frustrated when natives speak fast and you can't understand us.
91
Actually, the issue isn't the speed, but that we use connected speech.
92
That's how we natives cut, reduce, and link our words together when speaking fluently.
93
Listen again to how Lewis said this.
94
These three words almost sound like just one.
95
Let's break it down.
96
We usually cut the first consonant in pronouns like his and her.
97
And when a T is between two vowel sounds, it morphs into a soft D sound, like in butter or cat and dog.
98
And know that the E in desk is a E like in pen or bear, not a A like in pain or bear.
99
Desk.
100
at her desk at her desk your speaking will only improve with lots of practice
101
so listen to lewis again and try to say
102
that just like him and donna's not at her desk for days and donna's not at her desk for days
103
by the way the reason donna is not around is
104
because she's helping search for evidence to defend harvey in his
105
case against tanner now harvey is tired of lewis's interrogation so he says this.
106
This is a simple but common phrasal verb.
107
Go away is a blunt, rude way to tell someone to leave you alone.
108
You'll hear teenage brothers and sisters use it all the time.
109
Do you sometimes feel like you can understand a lot of English?
110
Like me talking to you right now.
111
But when it's time to speak, all the words you've learned disappear from your memory.
112
I've been there myself and learning six languages, and I know it sucks.
113
Now this may be because you are learning the words, but then you aren't studying them.
114
So you hear them and poof, just hours or even minutes later, you no longer have access to them.
115
The good news is that there are learners who actually internalize words and use them naturally when speaking.
116
Do you want to learn their secret?
117
They keep these new words they've learned active in their brains by using flashcards.
118
So if you want to see how that works, it's really simple.
119
Just click the link in the description
120
and we'll give you for free a set of flashcards for
121
this lesson with suits on our app now the reason this works is
122
that we put the science and the right technology behind it basically
123
that knows the exact expressions you've learned from all lessons
124
and just when you're about to forget one we bring it back for you to practice
125
and you only need 10 to 15 minutes daily for more natural english speaking super easy
126
so click the link to try the real life app right now
127
and start getting a bit more fluent every day moving on to the next part of the scene, Mike has been listening to the whole conversation and feels bad for Lewis.
128
Let's watch.
129
Harvey Specter.
130
So, Mike uses this common expression to criticize Harvey's approach.
131
That was harsh?
132
Are you kidding me?
133
Harsh describes something that feels overly severe, cruel, or unkind.
134
It could be used for criticism and punishments.
135
It's even a common collocation with weather.
136
Here are some examples.
137
But I am going to give you the opportunity to think about it
138
while you spend one year in a state correctional facility.
139
Isn't that a bit harsh, Your Honor?
140
No!
141
And I love the next old idiom that Mike used.
142
Which of these situations would you guess best fits coming hat in hand?
143
Marching into your boss's office to demand a raise, bragging to your co -workers about a promotion, nervously asking a friend to forgive you after a big fight.
144
Great!
145
To come hat in hand means to approach someone humbly, to ask for help or favor, especially if you swallowed your pride to do so.
146
Picture someone literally holding their hat, standing there respectfully, hoping for a yes.
147
Lewis is very self -important and rarely approaches anyone humbly.
148
That's why Mike feels pity for him.
149
However, Lewis is not getting any sympathy from Harvey, who knows him too well.
150
This guy gets one whiff of what we've been hiding from Hardman.
151
I guarantee you it's his office he's in, not ours.
152
A whiff is literally a small amount of smell.
153
For example, I think one of the best feelings is catching a whiff of fresh coffee in the morning.
154
But here, it's being used figuratively to mean the smallest trace of information.
155
So, one whiff of what we've been hiding means that if Lewis picks up even a tiny clue about their secret, he'll use it against them.
156
Benita Gibbs is a goddamn assistant U .S attorney.
157
She gets one whiff of this and we are both disbarred.
158
Guess who his dad is?
159
Jacob Tiernan.
160
As in Tiernan shipping?
161
That's right, guy who practically owns every port in the Pacific.
162
Well, that explains the confidence.
163
One whiff of trouble and daddy bails him out.
164
I know, we can't trust him.
165
Still, you should have seen him in this deposition i mean
166
all he wants is to be you as it's a legal show we hear this word constantly in suits
167
a deposition is a formal recorded interview
168
that happens as a part of a legal case where someone answers questions under oath before a trial
169
so mike is referring to the case he worked on with lewis apparently lewis was sharp
170
and assertive handling it almost channeling harvey's confidence mike wants to emphasize
171
that lewis really admires harvey still you should have seen him in this deposition.
172
I mean, all he wants is to be you.
173
Native speakers use this constantly.
174
It doesn't always mean I'm saying in a literal sense.
175
In cases like this, it's what we call a discourse marker.
176
That's just a fancy term for a little phrase that we use to organize our speech, clarify a point, soften what we're about to say, or add extra emphasis.
177
Here, Mike uses I mean to add weight to his next sentence. And actually, we've already heard a few other discourse markers earlier in this
178
scene take a look Harvey look I admit I haven't always
179
been well behaved Lewis opens with look we don't use this
180
to mean use your eyes here it's a way of grabbing
181
someone's attention before saying something important okay can we just please cut the small talk
182
and you let me know what I'm not privy to
183
that okay here isn't really asking for permission it's just a
184
soft way to enter into what you're about to say well i don't see any toms
185
or harry's here but
186
and well is a classic discourse marker too it's just a
187
little pause word we used to buy ourselves a second before responding
188
so next time you're watching a show in english try listening for little words like look okay i mean
189
and well you'll start noticing native speakers use them constantly
190
and look can i quickly ask for your help well we
191
depend on feedback from learners like you to continue making lessons
192
that you'll enjoy so take just a moment to pause the video
193
and comment below one series movie or celebrity
194
that you would love a lesson with me
195
and the real life team read everyone appreciate it
196
and let's wrap up this lesson analyzing a final bit of
197
connected speech I mean all he wants is to be you
198
know what everybody wants now it could be quite tricky to catch every word here without the subtitles
199
and that's mostly because of a common pattern with T you probably did not learn at school.
200
The T in isn't, that, and what are all what we call a glottal T.
201
We cut off the T at the back of the throat instead of releasing it fully.
202
It's like when kids make a mistake and say uh -oh, uh -oh, that same sound.
203
Isn't, that, what.
204
And in In the case of ISN'T, Harvey reduced it even more by dropping the S, so we just hear IN. IN.
205
Let's put that all together.
206
Isn't that what everybody wants?
207
And quickly, I want to circle back to the very start of the scene, because we heard that glottal T in the first word we learned.
208
Where's your gatekeeper?
209
So it's not gatekeeper, it's gatekeeper.
210
Gatekeeper.
211
Now listen to both those lines again, and repeat.
212
All he wants is to be you.
213
Isn't that what everybody wants?
214
Isn't that what everybody wants?
215
Where's your gatekeeper?
216
Where's your gatekeeper?
217
Aw yeah, you've done an incredible job with his advanced lesson, but you're not done yet.
218
Now comes the most important part.
219
You'll test everything that you learned by watching the scene again, this time without subtitles.
220
And I don't want to hand you your test on a silver platter.
221
So I'll also challenge you with some quiz questions.
222
You'll do great.
223
Where's your gatekeeper?
224
Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can just waltz right in.
225
Well, I don't see any Toms or Harrys here, but...
226
Okay, can we just please cut the small talk and you let me know what I'm not privy to?
227
If your boss asks you to cut the small talk, they...
228
Want you to start with some friendly conversation?
229
Don't have time to talk to you now? wants you to get straight to the important topic.
230
So first you hand me Ross on a silver platter, then Donna's not at her desk for days.
231
You think that I don't know that there's a power struggle going on between Jessica and Hartman?
232
A power struggle is best described as a workout between two athletes, two people competing for control, a disagreement about money.
233
I admit I haven't always been well behaved, but I can help you on this, you just gotta trust me.
234
Lewis, go away.
235
That was harsh.
236
Are you kidding me?
237
He came hat in hand, Harvey.
238
If someone comes hat in hand, they are approaching you, humbly asking for help,
239
confidently and aggressively, angrily ready to argue. Have you met him?
240
This guy gets one whiff of what we've been hiding from Hardman.
241
I guarantee you it's his office he's in, not ours.
242
I know, we can't trust him.
243
Still, you should have seen him in this deposition.
244
In a legal show, a deposition refers to a recorded interview, the final decision made by a judge, a lawyer's opening speech in court.
245
I hope you had a lot of fun learning with suits today.
246

256
Jessica, have I come in a bad time?
257
Gerald, this is Harvey Specter.
258
He's our best closer.
259
Well, if you're the best closer, where the hell you've been for the last three hours?
260
Well, Gerald, I specialize in troubled situations, and when I left here at 7 p .m., this deal wasn't in jeopardy, so I'm just trying to figure out what happened in the interim.
261
We keep offering more money, they keep rejecting it.
262
It's last -minute bad faith bullshit.

- Âm /tʃ/, /dʒ/ và /ʒ/ — tiếng Việt không có, đừng đọc thành “ch” hay “gi”: jeopardy /ˈd͡ʒɛpɚdi/, joking /ˈd͡ʒoʊkɪŋ/, teenage /ˈtiːneɪd͡ʒ/, generous /ˈd͡ʒɛn(ə)ɹəs/
- Âm /æ/ — mở miệng rộng hơn âm “e”: flashcard /ˈflæʃˌkɑɹd/, tan /tæn/, angrily /ˈæŋ.ɡɹə.li/, sarcastic /sɑɹˈkæs.tɪk/, distract /dɪˈstɹækt/
Cách luyện với video này
- Nghe hết video một lần, chưa cần nói, và ghi lại những từ bạn chưa biết.
- Bắt đầu ở tốc độ 0,75×, nói đuổi từng câu, rồi quay lại tốc độ bình thường khi đã quen.
- Ghi âm giọng mình rồi so với bản gốc, chú ý các từ như waltz, subtitle, fluent.
Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
