Your mother was killed at an early age by a guy who raised you.

It was a guy that she was dating, and I wouldn't say he raised me.
12
I think that that guy got lost in the translation.
13
He lived with you for a while.
14
He just had to be living with you at the time.
15
No, and truth be told, he was, you know, I did trust the guy.
16
Right.
17
And I was close to him.
18
Right.
19
And why not?

I mean, you have two options.

41
Well, I kind of put two
42
and two together I mean I had a gun to my
43
head a couple weeks You know we did I said I didn't know that yeah, so like there was a point where
44
where he had broken into the house and kind of held me up
45
and handcuffed me and basically got pretty violent and then let me go.
46
Who was this guy?
47
I mean, were they broken up at the time?
48
Yeah.
49
He was so in love with her that if he couldn't have her, no one else could.
50
Yeah.
51
I mean, that's what you would think.
52
I mean, there's no logical explanation for something like that.
53
Yeah.
54
But I mean, I think in that irrational thinking, that's what was going on.
55
The guy's locked up in prison now.
56
Yeah.
57
Have you ever been able to say to this guy why'd you take my mother from me?
58
No, no, no, I mean cuz I don't I don't think that any answer he could give me to that Yeah, what would be satisfied?
59
Yeah, it's gonna be satisfactory.
60
The guitar save you like were you like one of those
61
kids who just like sat in his room play guitar when all this happened?
62
I started at 11 So I kind of had that as an avenue.
63
All right when you're that age or for me You don't know where to go with that kind of stuff No, and
64
and you don't know who to talk to you kind of
65
don't even have the dialogue to talk to anybody about that kind of thing I mean, it's just so overwhelming right and so So I just kind of turned to music.
66
You know, to me, to come back from something like that, after your mom is killed, your aunt, I mean, just your whole family, and I guess your dad was distant.
67
Did you have brothers and sisters?
68
No, no. That's it.
69
No, my dad was there.
70
He just, you know, he loved this woman, and so, you know, we were both kind of like...
71
Devastated.
72
Yeah, we were both devastated.
73
Was your whole life uprooted in the sense also that you had to move?
74
Yeah, where'd you go?
75
Well, my parents were divorced, and I was living with my mother, and I ended up just moving in with my dad, which was in the same city.
76
And the weird thing about it, and a connection I made years and years later, which was I used to spend Wednesday evenings with my dad.
77
Right.
78
And for some reason, he couldn't see me one Wednesday and he saw me on a Thursday instead.
79
Right.
80
And that's when this happened.
81
Wow.
82
You could have been there.
83
And if I was, yeah.
84
And if that little chance didn't happen, I probably would have gotten killed too.
85
If you hadn't gone to visit your father.
86
Right.
87
Right.
88
So, and I kind of believe, you know, I mean, and it's unfortunate it's taken me years and, you know, I had to create much more trauma in order to get to this place for somehow, you know.
89
Yeah, I mean, because you went like, and understandably, you went like crazy from this.
90
Yeah.
91
And I understand that the drugs and all that kind of stuff.
92
I'll tell you something about the drugs and all that stuff.
93
And I appreciate, you know, you suggesting understandably I went to that.
94
Absolutely.
95
At the same time, though, I can confirm that there was part of me that used
96
that trauma as an excuse to pretty much get away with whatever I wanted.
97
Right.
98
So you said, oh, yeah, I'm allowed to do drugs because my mother was killed.
99
And whatever else.
100
Oh, poor me.
101
I've had this horrible thing.
102
And you can excuse this.
103
You can excuse that.
104
And it took a lot of damage inflicted upon myself.
105
I'll say.
106
I mean, I was reading some of the stuff that, I mean, I don't know where we got all this stuff from.
107
Maybe some of it's not true.
108
You tell me.
109
Yeah, let's clear it up.
110
Your heroin addiction got so bad you had sores on your face that exploded.
111
No one would even go near you and stuff.
112
Yeah.
113
I mean, here you are.
114
You're such a good -looking guy.
115
I wonder how people, you know, because his skin looks perfect.
116
How do people come back from that?
117
Yeah, how do you come back?
118
Why do you not have any scars on your face?
119
Why are you so lucky?
120
You know what?
121
I have no idea.
122
You don't know.
123
I really don't, and I do feel totally blessed and lucky to be able to come back from something like that.
124
Yeah.
125
And you know what?
126
And if anything else, it's like, and I hate to sit here and sound like arrogant and like I've got some message for anybody.
127
But the truth of the matter is I was pretty bad and it's possible to come back.
128
If you came back, anybody could.
129
I hate to say that because that implies that I'm as bad as it gets.
130
But I was pretty bad and I've discovered that life is a beautiful thing.

推薦影片
為什麼用這個影片練習口語?
這段訪談對話充滿真實情感與日常表達,非常適合英語口語練習。對話中涉及回憶、講述事件等場景,與雅思口語考試中的“描述經歷”話題高度契合,能幫助學習者積累真實語境下的表達邏輯。通過模仿說話人的語氣、停頓和情感起伏,還能提升語言的感染力,對雅思口語練習大有裨益。
語境中的語法與表達
- “put two and two together”:字面意為“把二和二放在一起”,實際表示“根據線索推斷”。如影片中“我把線索連起來,意識到他是兇手”,生動展現口語中的習語用法。
- 過去完成時的使用:“He had broken into the house” 描述過去某時前已發生的動作,體現事件的時間先後。在講述故事時,這種時態能讓表達更清晰。
- “if he couldn't have her, no one else could”:用簡潔的條件句表達極端心理,口語中常用此類結構強化情感,練習時可關注其省略與節奏。
常見發音陷阱
影片中部分單詞的發音需特別注意:“adversity”的重音在第二音節,易被誤讀為第一音節;“handcuffed”中的“ed”發/t/音,而非/d/;“violent”的“i”發/aɪ/,避免發成/ɪ/。這些細節對提高英語發音至關重要。此外,說話人語速較快,連讀現象明顯,如“kind of”讀作/kaɪndəv/,適合作為shadowing site的練習素材,通過“shadowspeak”模仿,提升口語流暢度。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | was killed · be told · was taken |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | guy who raised · guy who killed · kids who just |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | have gone · Have you ever been · I've had |
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。
