They're not going to go to school.
61
Even here, the girls can't go to school once they turn 12.
62
So, she's what, 4 years old?
63
She's only got 8, maybe at best eight years of education left in her life
64
and so you can't disincentivize her parents from sending her out to beg.
65
It's really sad.
66
So right now we're actually on our way to get a suitcase and then we're re -upping on some September 11th rugs.

114

115
and bridges and schools and uh i guess we just left all these in 2021

162
$15 .00.
163

164
I'm getting used to it now.
165

166
$2 .15.
167
So that means it's around...
168
Uh, fuck.
169
Yeah, around $7 .50 a gallon, which is way more than we pay in America.
170
That's like California prices.
171
It's crazy.
172
Like, this war affects so many more people than just in America and Iran.
173
It's the poor people in Afghanistan that can't afford fuel.
174
That's why it costs like $100 to fill up the tank at this SUV.
175
Hello, how are you?
176
Dutch Express?
177
German, German.
178
It comes from Germany.

191
I'm going to meet my brethren, my white brethren.
192

193

194
You're too clumsy.
195
Hard walker, hard walker.
196

197
bruh it's a Russian tank oh it's a Russian tank yeah,
198
Russian tank one of Afghan's other nemeses that they defeated and the Taliban flag is proudly waving
199
to remind you of exactly who was in charge of this country yeah, you wanna get on it? yeah this thing is a beast,
200
bro oh my god oh we're on a russian tank in afghanistan there's a there's a careful brother careful bro
201
hello american guys
202
okay we're not supposed to film
203
but behind me is an old american military military base that's obviously been repurposed for the Taliban Apparently,
204
Afghanistan still does have issues with insurgencies I think there are some
205
Isis skirmishes in the remote mountain regions
206
Which is exactly where we're going and we're also going to the border with
207
Pakistan and they're bombing each other right now but It's fine so far.
208
It's beautiful Ah, hard driver is back.
209
Hard driver.
210
Professional driver.
211
What?
212
Whoa.
213
So that's like a PSA to drive safely.
214
It's a strong reminder.
215
That was hard driver.
216
You be good driver.
217
Not donkey.
218
Where did it hurt when you screamed?
219
I got fucked, I guess.
220
My ass.
221
Yes, this in my ass.
222
Oh, shit.
223
There's the other guy.
224
A lot of head -on collisions here.
225
As you guys know, I've done some questionable things in my travels.
226
Do women die?
227
You don't have a seatbelt?
228
You don't know what a seatbelt is?
229
The reality is accidents happen all the time.
230
If you're ever hurt or in an accident, your case could be worth millions.
231
There's a reason you don't want me representing you in court.
232
I'm a dumbass.
233
Just like there's a reason
234
Morgan & Morgan is America's largest injury firm.
235
They are not dumbasses.
236
They have a history of winning with over 35 billion dollars recovered for their clients.
237
That's a lot of money, right?
238
35 billion?
239
Hiring Morgan & Morgan is like hiring an army to go into battle.
240
They have over a thousand lawyers and 100 offices nationwide.
241
I'm not saying size matters, but it doesn't not matter.
242
If you're injured by someone else's negligence, you deserve to be paid.
243
I know a large portion of my audience consists of man babies that don't understand the nuances of the legal system.
244
So all the more reason you can trust the professionals over at Morgan & Morgan if you get injured.
245
That sound good?
246
I speak English.
247
I don't speak English.
248
Yeah, me too.
249
And the best part is their fee is free unless they win.
250
So they only get paid if you get paid.
251
So if your car gets totaled, you get hurt at work, or somebody else's bad decision becomes your very expensive problem, You can check out
252
Morgan and Morgan to see
253
if you have a claim you can go to for the people comm slash SBA
254
Which can also be found in the description for the people comm slash SBA Yeah,
255
I think these kids are collecting trash
256
And then getting paid for it or something so every few miles see these like trash boys
257
They look really dirty probably like six seven years old
258
Just picking up trash.
259
It's very very sad
260
Alright, we just made it to Jalalabad.
261
About halfway done with the journey for today.
262
Alright, the traffic is so bad.
263
We're just gonna log.
264
It's so f*ing hot in the car.
265
It's like 90 something degrees out.
266
We're really close to Pakistan.
267
I guess people speak what I do here.
268
Pakistani language.
269
Alright, yeah.
270
It's hot.
271
We got the Taliban behind us.
272
Are you fine?
273
I'm okay.
274
How are you?
275
I'm so happy.
276
You're happy to see me?
277
Yes.
278
I'm happy to see you brother.
279
Afghanistan is treating me well.
280
It's a beautiful country.
281
Yeah.
282
This town is a little crazy, but I like Afghanistan.
283
Coming with me.
284
Yeah, sure we have time, right?
285
Angel.
286
Full start.
287
Damn, dude.
288
I wish we had more time.
289
Sorry, I'm a little speechless.
290
I'm out of my depth area.
291
This is completely different from Kabul and Mazar -e -Sherif.
292
It's very very different.
293
It's like Pakistan or India.
294
It's really brutal.
295
Assalamu alaykum.
296
How are you?
297
What are you doing?
298
Oh no camera, okay, sorry.
299
Okay, sorry, sorry.
300
America.
301
America, what is your name?
302
My name is Connor.
303
Connor.
304
Do you like a cancer?
305
Yes, I love it. Of course.
306
Alright.
307
So it's like India, it's like the extremist forms.
308
Not the other extremists.
309
The forms of India and Pakistan mixed with the other kind of extremism.
310
I'm sorry, it's so f*ing hard to think here.
311
Oh my god.
312
That's intense.
313
This town is insane.
314
This town is absolutely insane.
315
It's too much, bro.
316
It's...
317
It's like f*ing India levels of intensity with the Taliban walking around with Kalashnikovs.
318
Alright, we just got to a pretty lengthy Taliban checkpoint.
319
They took my passport, told me to stay in the car.
320
What do you mean?
321
What do you mean?
322
I'm going to go to school and I'm going to go.
323
Oh you got my passport?
324
Sweet!
325
We're not detained
326
We are free For the time being
327
It's another checkpoint
328
Very tight security
329
Alright we made it to um Asadabad No brother no please please let me take it
330
Let me take it
331
No no no no
332
Come on no problem
333
Okay okay okay
334
You did not bring a bag?
335
This is your bag?
336
This is my bag I don't understand.
337
These guys are - we're going on like a five -day road trip, but nobody packed a bag except me.
338
I guess I'm the Western princess that needs toothpaste.
339
Alright.
340
Let's read home.
341
Okay.
342
Shower?
343
No problem.
344
They have a shower?
345
Bucket shower?
346
Bucket shower?
347
That's okay.
348
That's fine.
349
Chai.
350
Chai.
351
They got the Instagram swings in Afghanistan.
352
A girl driving in Kabul?
353
Haram!
354
Can women drive in Afghan?
355
Yes.
356
Really?
357
Yes.
358
Oh, it's not Haram?
359
Yes, they have license.
360
Oh.
361
I love Afghanistan culture.
362
Islam is so much love.
363
Yes, yes, of course.
364
No problems at all.
365
Yes.
366
American...
367
Was that Taliban?
368
Yes, it is commander of Taliban.
369
So the hostile security called the Taliban command?
370
Yes, yes, yes.
371
He's general of Taliban.
372
Not a police.
373
General of Taliban.
374
F, dude.
375
I thought the day was over.
376
Did the outro and everything and a f*in Taliban commander comes to check on me.
377
Off to Parun.
378
We're asking for directions again.
379
Yeah, none of us have data.
380
We're so high up in the mountains.
381
By the way, Google Maps doesn't even work here
382
because Google Maps relies on paved roads and there's no paved roads where we're going.
383
We're having some car trouble so the first stop of the day is at the Mechanic.
384
So I think Perun is only 30 miles away.
385
But it's probably going to take about 9 hours to get there.
386
So if my math is right, that means we would be go, the average speed would be 3 miles an hour to get 30 miles,
387
which is absolutely preposterous.
388
We're going to be stopping all day.
389
It's going to be a hell of a long day.
390
So why don't we just start it with a little bit of a detail.
391
Let's fuck around and find out here.
392
Let's see if anybody invites us in for chai.
393
America.
394
Yeah.
395
Yeah, I like Afghanistan, man.
396
Yeah, let's get some chai.
397
Yeah, sure.
398
A river forming in the street.
399
This is my job.
400
Mechanic.
401
Yes.
402
Hi, how are you?
403
I'm fine, Robert.
404
Yes, brother.
405
What's your name?
406
America.
407
Yes, Buc -ee's.
408
My home.
409
Oh, thank you.
410
A little fake Red Bull.
411
American guys.
412
American guys.
413
Yes, American guys.
414
My brother, my brother.
415
Beautiful people in Afghanistan.
416
Beautiful people, inside and out.
417
The ethnic makeup of Afghanistan is crazy.
418
We have this guy over here with the blue eyes and light skin, and this guy is like, he looks like a Moroccan.
419
Okay guys, we have to go to Padun.
420
Thank you.
421
Thank you.
422
All right, we're headed off the main road right now.
423
It's going to get bumpy the next nine hours.
424
They just stopped by the Taliban and just pulled us over.
425
There's a couple guys, one with an AK.
426
We have to go back the way we came, go through the checkpoint.
427
I guess we missed it.
428
They tracked us down.
429
All right, they just took my camera.
430
He said the woman's checkpoint is not recorded.
431
Oh, I didn't.
432
I'm okay.
433
I did not.
434
Oh, yeah, I didn't.
435
Okay.
436
Can I have my camera back?
437
It's a YouTuber's worst nightmare.
438
I'd rather be kidnapped than lose the camera yeah
439
what no you're joking oh my god jesus christ give me the camera oh my god you asshole oh my god
440
You...
441

442

Okay.
444
No problem.
445
I'm sorry.
446
No, no. I'm sorry.
447
I'm sorry.
448
You can imagine my fear, especially knowing that there is an American tourist who is in Taliban prison right now.
449
He's been locked up for two years, but these checkpoints, you never know where they are
450
or not some of them are kind of hidden away some of them just look like abandoned shops
451
but they've like posted up in there the taliban
452
so i don't know i don't really know what to think but i am frightened my heart brother man
453
What are they saying?
454
Hello, hello.
455
How are you?
456

457
Yeah, yeah, okay.
458
At least 20 people have been killed and more than 100 remain missing after devastating flash floods swept through Afghanistan's northeastern Nuristan.
459

461
Oh, UNICEF.
462
UNICEF.
463
Oh, UNICEF, good.

Wow, so the UNICEF funding made it all the way to the remote villages of Afghanistan.
465
UNICEF is very helping for my pupils, for schools, for homeless men, for homeless women also.
466
Go study hard guys.
467
Do something big with your lives, okay?
468
It's only up from here, alright?
469
It's only up from here.
470
I wish there was something more I could do for the kids here, the homeless kids and the...
471
The girls who can't go to school.
472
I'm going to look into it.
473
And if there's a way that I can set up a fundraiser to donate to girls' schools, I'm going to leave it down in the description.
474
If you're seeing this, I figured it out.
475
And I won't get in trouble for it.

555
Oh my god.
556

Very remote and I just saw this sign.
559
The UNICEF, European Union, Organization of Human Welfare,
560
UNICEF School Child Protection support the most vulnerable children and their families through the provision of integrated,
561
age -appropriate, and gender transformative child protection interventions in Kunar.
562
So I guess it's like a school here where they're trying to protect the kids.
563
Oh, we can go in the school?
564
Yeah.
565
Salaam, salaam.
566

A free hospital?
574
Yeah.
575
Oh, there we go.
576
It was given by Germany.
577
I guess Germany is funding this hospital in Afghanistan.
578
That's really nice.
579
Okay, 2020.
580
December 31st, 2020.
581
So right before the U .S withdrew.
582
I wonder if they're still getting funding for this kind of hospital.
583
This is open?
584
Yeah.
585
I can take pictures?
586
No. Oh, you have to show your permit.
587
I guess you have to show his permit.
588
I don't know.
589
You know what, I'm gonna leave a link in the description to donate to UNICEF
590
because it seems like they're doing good stuff here.
591
Sorry, it's heartbreaking.
592
Seems like they're helping people here.
593
So I'm gonna leave a link in the description to donate.
594
Yes, okay.
595
Yes I'm gonna leave a link in the description to donate Because I just
596
Just don't know what to do this there's so much innocent human suffering.
597
People that didn't ask to be born here.
598
People that can't go to school.
599
People that can't get the medicine they need. So, please.
600
Donate.
601
I'm gonna give a thousand bucks.
602
Give what you can.
603
The saddest part is people are just used to this.
604
This is their reality.
605
The guys I'm with, they're not.
606
They don't bat an eyelash at any of the stuff we're seeing.
607
This is just their home.
608
They live here.
609
They've lived here for their whole lives.
610
And I'm only here for eight or nine days.
611
They've been here decades.
612
And there's just weather to it.
613
It's like a callus that builds up over time.
614
And me, I guess, I just have it so well off in my country.
615
We're so safe and it's clean and people have health care for the most part.
616
and I don't know man just feeling shaken up
617
Taliban flags all over this one I'm not sure what it is probably
618
Taliban hey bud hey you stay in school okay study hard hey brother yeah I'm from Georgia America Yes, you ever been to Buc -ee's?
619

626
Oh, a little Koloshnikov.

628
How are you, sir? From America.
629

634
Okay guys, stay in school, seriously.
635
Learn how to work a computer.
636
Don't work hard labor.
637
See you guys.
638
So no matter how remote you get in Afghanistan, there's always going to be the Taliban checkpoints.
639
Very bizarre situation.
640
But we are getting gas right now, guys.
641
Can you believe there's gas in here?
642
I'm surprised there's gas here.
643
Afghanistan is one of the most shocking,
644
bewildering, heartbreaking, exciting, fun place I've ever traveled.
645
So it looks like he's pumping it with a generator.
646
He pumps it from there and it's a generator that brings it all the way to the rear of the car.
647
And for some reason in Afghanistan it's at the very bottom.
648
And then it looks like it goes into this gas thing.
649
This is gas.
650
There it is.
651
So it goes from these tanks through the pump through the back of the car somehow through here.
652
Oh and here's the gauge.
653
And gas is very expensive right now thanks to my country waging a war in the Middle East.
654
Once again it's probably going to be about $100 or like $50, $60.
655
Actually, I'm not sure if we're gonna fill it out, but each gas stop I've been giving him $100 so
656
Yeah, the war affects everybody all around the world
657
Thank you brother.
658
Thank you brother.
659
I'm seeing a lot of these signs UN migration Afghanistan humanitarian fund
660
It looks like that's the UN.
661
Yeah, UN.
662
Okay, so Afghanistan is getting a good bit of help.
663
I'm really hoping that they're still getting help with the current situation.
664
Hey buddy, you in school?
665
Hello.
666
How are you?
667
Asalaam.
668

670
Hey brother.
671
Hey, hey, hey.
672
What's up?
673
Bro, look at where we are.
674
Does this look like Afghanistan to you?
675
Zindabad, Afghanistan.
676
Off to school children.
677
You go study now.
678
Study your computer programming so one day you can live in Sweden or something.
679
He said he's too tired to drive so I'm driving now.
680
I don't know how this is gonna go.
681
We're asking for instructions.
682
It's pretty scary.
683
The brakes are not the best.
684
I should probably buckle up.
685
Yeah, let's buckle up.
686
Make the mother happy.
687
Hello.
688
It's a UN well.
689
Yes, I am driving and smoking and vlogging all at once.
690
It's probably not the best idea, but I am very nervous.
691
I need to smoke.
692
Thank God.
693
There's a freaking landslide, so I can't keep driving.
694
I'm about to have a freaking heart attack.
695
Looks like there's a bit of a pile up in the road.
696
They're obviously clearing.
697
I don't even know if you can hear me.
698
They're clearing the road, or trying to, and it looks like maybe a landslide has happened.
699
But look man, look how idyllic.
700
The clean stream.
701
Nah, it's too loud.
702
No idea how long this stop is gonna be, but it came at just the right time because I'm panicking.
703
But I am relaxed by the nature, I must say.
704
It's perfect.
705
One hour?
706
One hour.
707
Okay.
708
Alright, we're just gonna start walking along the cliff if we don't get sideswiped by a boulder.
709
Look at this road.
710
We got like four hours left. From China?
711
China Afghani.
712
Oh, cool.
713
There's a lot - oh my god!
714

715
Of course it's f*ing - Jesus!
716
Jesus Christ!
717

718

719

723

729
Safety?
730
Safety?
731
Anchwandai.
732
Anchwandai!
733
Anchwandai!
734
This smoke break brought to you by a near -death experience.
735
There's no better way to celebrate a near -death experience than by getting one step closer to the grave.
736
My smoke.
737
It's not.
738
It looks like an old UNICEF aid station and flying the Taliban flag.
739
There's a woman just sitting in a car.
740
Meanwhile all the men are walking around.
741
Is this woman homeless here?
742
No, it's not half car.
743
It's walking this way.
744
Can I give her some money?
745
Is that bad?
746
No, no problem.
747
I can give her some money?
748
No problem.
749
Yeah, yeah, that's fine.
750

754
She's not speaking.
755
No, no. Okay, no problem.
756
She's not speaking.
757
We were just talking about her.
758
All of us.
759
She was just sitting there silently with her rough looking kids.
760
She's clearly in need of some kind and couldn't speak up for herself.
761
But we have a healthy and sustainable life here.
762

816
And it looks like they're very quickly rebuilding.
817
Children cricket.

840
They don't make sunscreen up here.

877
Hotels in Afghanistan I gotta say are pretty rough

No Wi -Fi, no showers, bucket showers, squat toilets
879

需要注意的發音
說話人用了 212 次縮略和弱讀形式,例如 I'm, don't, we're。請按聽到的簡短形式來說。
- “th” 音: brethren /ˈbɹɛðɹən/, ethnic /ˈɛθ.nɪk/, mathematics /mæθ(.ə)ˈmæt.ɪks/, thrill /θɹɪl/
- “sh” 和 “zh” 音: trash /tɹæʃ/, shock /ʃɔk/, wash /wɑʃ/, flash /flæʃ/, capture /ˈkæp.(t)ʃɚ/
- 長單詞——注意重音位置: generator /ˈdʒɛnəɹeɪtə(ɹ)/, infrastructure /ˈɪnfɹəˌstɹʌkt͡ʃə/, incredibly /ɪŋˈkɹɛdɪbli/, laboratory /ˈlæb(ə)ɹəˌtɔɹi/, eligible /ˈɛl.ɪ.d͡ʒɪ.bəl/
中文母語者容易讀錯的音:
- /v/ — 不要讀成 /w/,上齒輕觸下唇: grave /ɡɹeɪv/, recover /ɹɪˈkʌvɚ/, intervention /ɪntɚˈvɛnʃən/, vulnerable /ˈvʌln(ə)ɹəbl̩/, provision /pɹəˈvɪʒ.ən/
- 詞尾子音 — 要讀清楚,後面不要加母音: donate /ˈdoʊˌneɪt/, beard /bɪɹd/, belt /ˈbɛlt/, trash /tɹæʃ/, flood /flʌd/
- /r/ 和 /l/ 的區別: relax /ɹɪˈlæks/, incredibly /ɪŋˈkɹɛdɪbli/, laboratory /ˈlæb(ə)ɹəˌtɔɹi/, rely /ɹɪˈlaɪ/, vulnerable /ˈvʌln(ə)ɹəbl̩/
如何用這段影片練習
- 先完整聽一遍影片,不要開口,記下不認識的單詞。
- 用正常速度逐句跟讀,每句重複到你的節奏與說話人一致為止。
- 錄下自己的聲音並與原聲對比,特別注意 remote, donate, scary 這類單詞。
什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
