9
Bathed in the glow of Burns brand electricity.
Được chiếu sáng bởi ánh điện của thương hiệu Burns.
10
Hello, Lamp Post.
Xin chào, Lamp Post.
11
Whatcha knowin'?
12
I've come to watch your power flowin'.
13
That's odd.
14
Where's Homer, and Bart, and Lisa, and Grandpa?
15
After all these years, things are finally starting to go my way.
16
I feel like celebrating.
17
Oh, it's you.
18
What are you so happy about?
19
I see.
20
Well, I think you'd better drop it.
21
I said drop it.
22
Get your hands off.
23
Where is everybody?
24
Hey, Mia, are you okay?
25
Won't dignify that with response.
26
Mr. Burns has been shot.
27
Just a minute.
28
This isn't Mr. Burns at all.
29
It's a mask.
30
Wait, it is Burns.
31
His wrinkly skin looks like a mask.
32
I don't think we'll ever know who did this.
33
Everyone in town.
34
Well I couldn't possibly solve this mystery. Can you?
35
Yeah, I'll give it a shot.
36
I mean, it's my job, right?
37
In this episode of The Simpsons, Mr. Burns constructs a giant disc to permanently block out the sun in the town of Springfield,
38
forcing everyone to continuously use the electricity from his power plant.
39
Ah, perpetual twilight, bathed in the glow of Burns' brand electricity.
40
So, we hear Mr. Burns speak in a poetic way about electricity and street lighting.
41
Twilight is the time of day just before the night, when the daylight has almost gone, but when it is not completely dark.
42
Perpetual defines something that never ends, that is permanent.
43
So, by perpetual twilight, he's referring to the permanent darkness that is covering
44
Springfield, caused by the giant disc which he is using to block out the sun.
45
Literally speaking, the verb to bathe means to take a bath or to wash yourself in a sea or a river, for example.
46
However, Mr. Burns is speaking figuratively here.
47
He is talking about how the streets are covered by, or bathed in, the glow from the lampposts, which are powered by his power plant.
48
Hello, lamppost.
49
Whatcha knowin'?
50
I've come to watch your power flowin'.
51
What You Knowing is Mr. Byrne's own informal way of asking, how are you?
52
This is a parody of the Simon and Garfunkel song, the 59th Street Bridge song, Feeling Groovy.
53
After all these years, things are finally starting to go my way, I feel like celebrating.
54
If something goes your way, it goes according to your plans, you succeed, or you feel favored by the universe, God, or some high power.
55
Check out this example.
56
Oh, I'm sorry, Maggie, but even at your age, I'm sure you understand things can't always go your way.
57
So, in the scene, Mr. Burns is referring to how his plans of blocking out the sun
58
and making more money from all the extra power consumption are working.
59
So, he says that things are finally starting to go his way, meaning he's finally being favored by the circumstances.
60
Oh, it's you.
61
What are you so happy about?
62
Drop it is an expression used as a command for somebody to drop or let go of their weapon.
63
For example, it is commonly used by the police when confronting armed suspects.
64
We cannot see what is happening with Mr. Burns in the scene but from this line,
65
we can guess he's speaking to somebody holding a gun or other weapon.
66
By the way, did you notice how he pronounced the word drop and it together?
67
This is a clear and good example of how connected speech works in spoken English.
68
Connected speech is the tendency we have of cutting, reducing, and linking words together while speaking.
69
In this case, the letter P from drop simply links to the next word, which started with a vowel,
70
it, and that resulted in the sound we heard from Mr. Burns, drop it.
71
Let's listen to it and practice after him.
72
Jason, drop it!
73
until April 24th.
74
Just imagine this time next year you could understand your favorite series and laugh along with all the jokes,
75
have a confident conversation, get a promotion at work or even move to another country.
76
Really the possibilities are endless when you set your mind to it
77
and the Fluent with Friends course can help you a lot in reaching your goals.
78
Just like Adita who told us
79
that our course helped her stop looking at English as a boring school subject
80
and helped her become passionate about learning the language.

84
Now let's get back to laughing and learning with The Simpsons.
85
To dignify somebody or something is to treat them with respect and take them seriously.
86
So if you say that you will not dignify something with a response,
87
that means you will not answer or respond to it because you do not think it is worth your attention or respect.
88
First of all, your father can't eat onions, he's deathly allergic, and I won't even dignify your navy bean suggestion.
89
Mr. Burns has been shot.
90
Just a minute!
91
This isn't Mr. Burns at all!
92
It's a mask!
93
Wait, it is Burns.
94
His wrinkly skin looks like a mask.
95
This part of the scene makes fun of something a lot of science fiction movies and series have done.
96
To have a character wearing a realistic human mask which is only noticed and removed at a critical moment in the story
97
The joke is that
98
Chief Wiggum thought Mr. Burns' wrinkly skin made his face look like a mask his wrinkly skin look looks like a mask.
99
I don't think we'll ever know who did this.
100
Everyone in town's a suspect.
101
Well, I couldn't possibly solve this mystery. Can you?
102
Yeah, I'll give it a shot.
103
I mean, it's my job, right?
104
If you say that you will give it a shot, that means you will make an attempt to do something.
105
You will try to achieve it.
106
This is especially used when talking about something that you are not familiar with.
107
Stop!
108
Don't shoot my dad!
109
He's innocent!
110
He wouldn't hurt a fly!
111
Stop telling him it was me!
112
I'll kill you for saying it was me!
113
What is the meaning of this?
114
Smithers, who is this beast that's shaking me?
115
No!
116
See, it burns!
117
See, I never shot you!
118
Before.
119
Shot?
120
By you, I'm afraid not, my primitive friend.
121
Your kind is neither the cranial capacity nor the opposable digits to operate a firearm.
122
The one who shot me was...
123
Ha!
124
Ha!
125
Ha!
126
M -Maggie Simpson!
127
With the sunblocker in place and the town aghast, I was on top of the world,
128
so I wanted to kick up my heels and indulge my sweet tooth.
129
I feel like celebrating.
130
Oh, it's you.
131
What are you so happy about?
132
I see.
133
Yes.
134
That's the one.
135
Smithers had thwarted my earlier attempt to take candy from a baby, but with him out of the picture,
136
I was free to wallow in my own crepulence.
137
I think you'd better drop it, but the old axiom was misleading.
138
Taking the candy proved exceedingly difficult.
139
I said drop it!
140
Stricken, I lurched forth in search of aid, but finding only slack -jawed gawkers, I gave up and collapsed on the sundial.
141
Then with your last ounce of strength, you pointed to W and S, or from your point of view,
142
M and S, Maggie Simpson.
143
What?
144
No. With my last ounce of strength, I sucked out my gold fillings and swallowed them.
145
Those paramedics have sticky fingers.
146
Well, I'm just relieved that
147
Homer's safe and that you've recovered and we can all get back to normal.
148
If Maggie could talk, I'm sure she'd apologize for shooting you.
149
I'm afraid that's insufficient.
150
Officer?
151
Arrest the baby!
152
Yeah, right, Pops.
153
No jury in the world's gonna convict a baby.
154
Maybe Texas.
155
Stop!
156
Don't shoot my dad!
157
He's innocent!
158
He wouldn't hurt a fly!
159
A fly is this insect.
160
So if you say that someone wouldn't hurt a fly, that is a figurative way of saying that they are very kind and gentle,
161
and would not hurt anyone, not even a fly.
162
Primitive refers to something or somebody relating to very old times, like a society at a very early stage of development,
163
with people living in a simple way without machines or advanced technologies, for example.
164
Example, primitive races colonized these islands 2 ,000 years ago.
165
Mr. Burns called Homer his primitive friend, meaning to insult him and call him ignorant or simple -minded.
166
Your kind is neither the cranial capacity nor the opposable digits to operate a firearm.
167
As you may know, the noun kind refers to a group with similar characteristics or a particular type.
168
In this case, Mr. Burns is still referring to Homer as a primitive or prehistoric person,
169
as if he were a caveman. So, he says that
170
Homer does not have the cranial capacity, that is, the intelligence, nor the opposable thumbs, to handle a gun.
171
Opposable thumbs is how we call the thumbs seen in human hands.
172
They can be placed opposite the other fingers, allowing the hand to hold and handle objects.
173
Sun blocker is what he's calling the giant disc which was placed in front of the sun, and covered the whole town from daylight.
174
Aghast is an adjective meaning extremely shocked or horrified.
175
This word is not very common.
176
And if you say that you feel, or that you are on top of the world, you are emphasizing that you feel extremely happy and healthy.
177
to kick up my heels and indulge my sweet tooth i feel like celebrating
178
oh it's you what are you so happy about i see
179
the expression to kick up your heels means to relax
180
and enjoy yourself a lot for example at a party now
181
if you say that you have a sweet tooth you mean you have a craving or desire to eat sweet foods, especially sweets and chocolate.
182
So if you indulge your sweet tooth, you are allowing yourself to enjoy the pleasure of eating sweets.
183
I like to indulge myself on holiday with things like massages and spa treatments.
184
So we are at peace once more.
185
Let us indulge in exaggerated displays of affection.
186
This guy, I love him!
187
Get over here!
188
My brother, over here!
189
You're my everything over here!
190
You color my world over here!
191
Yes, that's the one.
192
Smithers had thwarted my earlier attempt to take candy from a baby, but with him out of the picture,
193
I was free to wallow in my own crepulence.
194
To thwart somebody means to prevent them from accomplishing something.
195
So if you thwart a person's attempt to do something, you are stopping them from being successful.
196
as you know every diabolical scheme that i've hatched has been thwarted by austin powers
197
and why is that ladies and gentlemen mr burns is saying
198
that smithers had stopped him from taking candy from a baby before
199
but now that he is out of the picture
200
that is he is not present anymore he will not be able to interfere
201
and stop him now even though in english
202
there is a figurative expression to take candy from a baby meaning to do something
203
that is very easy and offers no challenge
204
or resistance here mr burns means it literally he has actually tried to take candy from maggie a baby
205
so he says
206
that without smithers to stop him he could indulge his impulses for eating sugary food
207
i think you'd better drop it but the old axiom was misleading
208
An axiom is a statement which is regarded as being accepted or true, without the need for proof.
209
For example, the axiom, you cannot give what you do not have.
210
So Mr. Burns refers to taking candy from a baby being easy as a misleading axiom, saying that the task actually proved to be very difficult,
211
which is quite humorous when we think about it.
212
Something considered misleading gives you the wrong idea or impression about it. Which was misleading. For all others.
213
Stricken, I lurched forth in search of aid.
214
But finding only slack -jawed cockers, they.. gave up and collapsed on the sunday.
215
To lurch is to move in a way that is not regular or normal, making sudden movements backwards or forwards or from side to side,
216
especially in an uncontrolled way.
217
So he says that he lurched forth in search of help.
218
A gawker is a person who stares openly at someone or something.
219
For example, after a bad car accident on the highway, gawkers often slow down for a look.
220
A slack -jawed person is someone with their mouth open in surprise.
221
A sundial is a device similar to a clock that looks like this,
222
which indicates the time of day by the position of the shadow of some object exposed to the sun's rays.
223
Then with your last ounce of strength, you pointed to W and S, or from your point of view,
224
M and S, Maggie Simpson.
225
Lisa is saying that Mr. Burns gathered all the energy he had left, that is his last ounce of strength,
226
and pointed to the W and S letters as a way of informing who had shot him.
227
What?
228
No, with my last ounce of strength I sucked out my cold feelings and swallowed them.
229
Those paramedics have sticky fingers.
230
If you say that somebody has sticky fingers you mean that they have an inclination or tendency to steal.
231
Mr. Burns is saying that he swallowed his gold teeth pieces to keep the paramedics, who would help him, from robbing him.
232
If Maggie could talk, I'm sure she'd apologize for shooting you.
233
I'm afraid that's insufficient.
234
Officer, arrest the baby.
235
Yeah, right, Pops.
236
No jury in the world is going to convict a baby.
237
Maybe Texas.
238
To convict somebody of a crime is to declare them to be guilty.
239
This is normally done by a jury or the decision of a judge in a court of law.
240
Now, why does he say, maybe Texas?
241
Culturally, many other states look at Texas as being a very conservative state.
242
For example, it is one of the states that still has the death penalty.
243
Chief Wiggum is joking that perhaps Texas would be strict enough to convict a baby of a crime.
244
Ah, perpetual twilight, bathed in the glow of Burns -brand electricity.
245
Hello, Lamp Post.
246
Whatcha knowin'?
247
I've come to watch your power flowin'.
248
That's odd.
249
Where's Homer, and Bart, and Lisa, and Grandpa?
250
After all these years, things are finally starting to go my way.
251
I feel like celebrating.
252
I...
253
Oh, it's you.
254
What are you so happy about?
255
I see.
256
Well, I think you'd better drop it.
257
I said drop it.
258
Get your hands off.
259
Where is everybody?
260
Hey, Mia.
261
Are you okay?
262
Won't dignify that with response.
263
Mr. Burns has been shot.
264
Just a minute.
265
This isn't Mr. Burns at all.
266

267

279

280

281

282
No!
283
Say it burns!
284
Say I never shot you!
285
Before.
286
Shot?
287
By you, I'm afraid not, my primitive friend.
288

289

290

292

293

296
Yes.
297

298

299
But with him out of the picture, I was free to wallow in my own crapulence.
300

301

318
No jury in the world is gonna convict a baby.
319

320
Besides, she didn't mean it.
321
It was an accident.

- Âm “sh” và “zh”: insufficient /ɪnsəˈfɪʃənt/, shake /ˈʃeɪk/, shock /ʃɔk/, fiction /ˈfɪkʃən/, shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/

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.
