The Managements The Managements Ugh!
2
If I wanted to be bored on a Saturday, I would have signed up for that management training program at work.
3
Wait, what training program?
4
Oh, it's some dumb career development thing at the plant.
5
Who needs that trap?
6
Homer, I can't be the only one in this family who wants more for us.
7
For once in your life.
8
Would it kill you to show a little ambition?
9
Ah, ambition is indeed a timeless source of conflict.
10
As a matter of fact, I just curated an exhibit about a Roman family.
11
The life of Obeseus the Wide.
12
Maybe a historical allegory could help us work out our issues.
13
Obeseus was born to a poor farmer with much land, but no ox to plow it.
14
Life on the farm was cruel, but it chiseled young Obeseus into quite the Italian beefcake.
15
Good news, plow son!
16
We finally got enough money to buy us an ox!
17
Woohoo!
18
I sold you into slavery!
19
Arrivadirci, sucker!
20
A frightened Obesius and his new work friends were taken to Rome, but the worst was yet to come.
21
Gentlemen, today you have the honor of being hacked to death on the field of battle.
22
Hailing from Germania, Wolfus Reign! That guy!
23
Someone's in here!
24
Oh, my God!
25
Oh, my God!
26
Oh, my God!
27
Oh, my God!
28
Well, should we call it a tie?
29
Oh, hail our new champion!
30
That chiseled pumpkin just killed my prized psychopath.
31
Feed him to the hippos!
32
Oh, Father, look how the crowd loves him.
33
That hunky rube could put a lot of tokas in the seats.
34
You have quite the mind for the family business.
35
The Man-Ox will live to fight another day.
36
I live to fight another day.
37
Obisius fame grew as he rose through the gladiatory ranks.
38
Women wanted him, and men wanted to be killed by him.
39
But still, he yearned for that which he longed for.
40
I Heart.
41
You?
42
You guys think we'll ever be free again?
43
The only way we're leaving this place is carried out in chunks.
44
Let us make a sacred pact before the gods.
45
If one of us ever gets free, he'll do everything he can to free the rest of us. To freedom! To freedom!
46
What if it isn't the champion of Rome himself?
47
I like the way your pecs dance after you kill a guy.
48
These old things?
49
Blipp blip blip blip blip blip blip blip blip blip blip blip blip blip.
50
Swish and slash and spin and kick and slice that belly and hello guts!
51
It would appear that one of you lonely gladiators has impregnated my daughter.
52
Tell me who laid with her!
53
Sir, I'm in love with your daughter.
54
If you must punish someone, punish me.
55
Rise, for you are now free!
56
Whoohoo!
57
To marry my daughter.
58
Go!
59
The young lovers were wed for all the gods to see.
60
And plans were made for their future.
61
So that you may build a life together, I give you the deed to one of my many businesses.
62
Now, Obeseus, to get things started, please take some slaves on the house.
63
I can't own my friends!
64
I swore a sacred oath to free them!
65
Majora then understood.
66
For a woman to have any voice in this world, she'll have to come out of her husband's stupid mouth.
67
My love, you are so noble.
68
To take on the back-breaking work of four men, day in, day out.
69
Look, fellas, just give me a little time till we get on our feet, then I'll totally free you.
70
And so, in choosing greed over loyalty, the young couple began their rise to power.
71
Obeseus entered the second act of his life, running the dirty, bloody business given to him by his father-in-law, a laundromat.
72
Fun fact, in ancient Rome, clothes were washed with ammonia, which is derived from human urine.
73
Why is the store closed?
74
It's only noon.
75
Me and the fellas are all peed out.
76
How am I supposed to make things clean without human waste?
77
Hey, uh, boss...
78
We came up with an idea that could increase ammonia production.
79
All you gotta do is put these jugs outside of taverns and you'll get your urine as gratis.
80
Stealing the idea of his indentured friends, Obeseus was soon flush in liquid acids.
81
And he was able to move his family to the more prosperous side of town.
82
Obesius, we gave you the idea that made you rich.
83
How about making good on your promise and freeing us now?
84
Tell you what, I'll have my accountant crunch the letters and we'll circle back.
85
And now, let us thank Lord Jupiter for a bountiful harvest by draining the blood of this baby goat.
86
Aw, these seats suck.
87
Can't even see the entrails from here.
88
Well, they save all the best seats for the senators.
89
What if you became a senator?
90
I don't know.
91
But think of the perks.
92
You'll get invited to fancier orgies.
93
And with that, Obesius marched down the Appian Way to plead his case to the emperor, confident that he would be welcomed into the senate.
94
The P-guy!
95
A senator?
96
That would be an insult to the dignity of this office!
97
Oh...
98
Stupid Emperor.
99
Majora's gonna be so mad.
100
I'd do anything to be a senator!
101
Anything, eh?
102
You know, as the Emperor's politically adopted son, I am next in line to the throne should anything happen to...
103
Daddy.
104
Kill the Emperor and I'll make you a senator!
105
When in Rome you do as the Romans do you play as the Romans play together.
106
Hey get out of here you!
107
Give me a kiss you big snappy go-getter!
108
Over the next ten years Senator Obisius' power grew vastly and Majora reveled in her high status, hosting the town's elite at her lavish Saturnalia party.
109
So noble slaves, what gift do you desire from your benevolent master?
110
Uh, our frickin' freedom?
111
Why do we even bother asking anymore?
112
He's never gonna free us!
113
What?
114
Dad, Bartigula's out of control!
115
Growing up rich and spoiled has turned your son into a monster!
116
It's not my fault!
117
I never spent any time with him!
118
My son's a maniac, my daughter's not a son, my slaves hate me for some reason.
119
I'm spent.
120
I can't believe the emperor didn't even come to my party.
121
He wouldn't even be emperor if not for you.
122
Yeah, well what do you want me to do about it?
123
Kill the emperor?
124
Well, if that's what you want.
125
What more do you want?
126
We started at the bottom and now we're one rung from the top.
127
It's a natural stopping point.
128
Will you never be satisfied?
129
Pardon me, Senator.
130
I'm sorry you find my ambition so distasteful.
131
Just remember, power comes to those who take it. To the Roman Empire!
132
Ooh, can't be too careful these days.
133
Oh, taster!
134
Poison!
135
Someone has tried to kill me!
136
You didn't!
137
You wouldn't!
138
The Emperor is dead!
139
Who will nominate his successor?
140
We deserve an Emperor who can boldly lead us into the future.
141
My son, Bartigula.
142
B-Whaaa?
143
Bartigula!
144
Bartigula!
145
And so began the reign of Bartigula the Jerk.
146
Eager to expand the Empire, he declared war on Neptune.
147
Bartigula blamed the troubles of Rome on foreign invaders.
148
So he built a large and expensive wall to keep them out.
149
The young emperor had gone mad with power.
150
Listen up, Rome wads.
151
The empire's in crisis, the economy's in the crappatorium, and Neptune's kicking our butts somehow.
152
I now realize I can no longer be your emperor.
153
Because I am now your god!
154
My son isn't a god, he's just an entitled little psycho!
155
Society must come to its senses and overthrow this bad man!
156
Blasphemy!
157
Seize him!
158
Why are we here?
159
They said I could bring a couple of belongings.
160
Hey, this is where we made our freedom pact, remember?
161
Not freeing you guys was the first worst thing I ever did.
162
Father, we have to get you out of the city.
163
Hurry, and you can still escape.
164
No, I'm not going to run.
165
We have to stop Barticula and save the Republic!
166
Though he had lost everything, Morbeseus still had the heart of a warrior.
167
All hail the living God!
168
We who are about to die, salute you!
169
Then, in front of all Rome, father and son engaged in bloody battle.
170
Particular was fast, but Obeseus was fatter.
171
Obi, please, spare our boy!
172
Whaaat?
173
My life is over.
174
Worst of all, I really screwed over my friends.
175
Gah!
176
Who knew history could be so sad?
177
The moral of that story is clear.
178
Marge is wrong and ambition is terrible.
179
Does anyone think it was weird that Dad killed me?
180
Don't blame me, blame your mother.
181
I just wanted you to go to one lousy training seminar.
182
I would not even listen to you.
183
Thank you.

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.
