Hey.

Didn't I tell you to get some better suits?

I spent $500.

How many suits?

Five.

What?

In today's lesson you're gonna learn some nice expressions, vocabulary, pronunciation and legal English with the TV series Suits.

In the scenes we're watching today, Harvey tries to fire Mike on his first day at work.

after he was denied a promotion.

But then Mike gives him an idea.

But before we get started, make sure you hit that subscribe button and bell down below, because every week we put out lessons like this, to help you understand your favorite movies and TV series.

We're now getting lost.

without missing the jokes and without subtitles.

So hit that subscribe button and bell down below in order not to miss a single new lesson.

Mike Ross is an extremely clever young man who lands a

job as a lawyer even though he's never been to law school.

Harvey Specter, a top lawyer at the firm, is so impressed with Mike's intelligence that he gives him the job.

How can you know all that?

I told you, I like to read.

and once I read something, I understand it, and once I understand it, I never forget it.

However, after losing his promotion for having lied to a client, Harvey tries to fire Mike on his first day of work.

Let's see what happens Mike.

Hey!

Who's ready for a great first day?

I'm gonna have to let you go.

What?

I just got reamed for lying to a client, and if they find out that I lied about you going to Harvard, they'll take away my license.

You what?

Not now, Donna.

I have to put my own interests above yours.

It's nothing personal.

You're fired.

Wait, so you're...

worried that if I stay, then they might find out that you lied about me and you'll lose your license.

But if you fire me, then I could Tell them that you lied about me, and you definitely lose your license.

Are you telling me that if I throw you under the bus, you're gonna drag me with you?

You put your interests above mine, and I'm just putting mine back up.

Next to yours.

You're rehired.

Who's ready for a great first day?

I'm gonna have to let you go.

So in this context to let someone go means to fire someone.

Another nice word in this context of business and work is downsizing.

Downsizing is when a company has to fire people,

or let people go because the company is cutting down on costs or reducing in size.

Check out this clip from The Office.

As you know, there's going to be downsizing.

And you have made my life so much easier in that I am going to have to let you go first.

What?

Why?

What?

I just got reamed for lying to a client.

When a person gets reamed, this person is reprimanded or criticized for their bad behavior.

And that's exactly what Jessica, Harvest Boss, does to him earlier in this episode.

Other possible words here could be: scold, You know, to scold someone or to lecture someone.

In this case, you behave badly, you do something bad, and then somebody gives you a lecture or somebody scolds you.

Check out these examples.

You're scolding me. Am I?

You are silent, eh?

What about her?

Emily.

You can't even say your name, can you?

Don't lecture me.

And if they find out that I lied about you going to Harvard, they'll take away my license.

When you find out about something, you discover or learn the truth about it.

For example, she divorced him because she found out he had been going out with another woman.

And if they find out that I lied about you going to Harvard, they'll take away my license.

"Going to Harvard." Did you hear how Harvey pronounces this phrase?

The preposition to is reduced to a "n", Na.

So he says, "Goina." going to Harvard.

going to Harvard.

that I lied about you going to Harvard, they'll take away my license.

that I lied about you going to Harvard.

Let's do it.

- Thank you.

And if they find out that I lied about you going to Harvard, they'll take away my license.

Here we can see the first conditional being used.

We can use the first conditional when making a prediction about the future or making a threat.

Now the structure goes if + simple present Plus, will.

For example, If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'll go to the beach.

That's a prediction.

If you do that one more time, you won't play video games for a month.

That's a threat.

You can also use might or could instead of will.

Check it out.

Wait, so you're-- worried that if I stay, then they might find out that you lied about me and you'll lose your license.

In this case, "might" means 50 % possibility.

they might find out Maybe they will find out.

There is a 50 /50 chance.

But if you fire me, then I could tell them that you lied about me, and you'd definitely lose your license.

Now, could here gives this idea of imaginary possibility.

"Look, if you fire me, then I could tell them." that you lied about me.

You see?

That's a possibility that I'm imagining right now.

Are you telling me that if I throw you under the bus you're gonna drag me with you?

Also remember that you can use "going to" instead of "will" just like in this case.

You're going to drag me with you.

Check out these examples where the first conditional is being used.

But if you don't love this, then we'll do it any other place, any other time, really.

100

Ross, you know what?

101

If you tell me, I might do it.

102

"If you don't do it, I will." You know, just learning random words,

103

like many people do, without studying the proper context in which those words are being used, is not a good strategy.

104

I mean, Think about it: why do you learn English or any other language?

105

to communicate Right? and communication happens through sentences phrases, not individual isolated words.

106

That's exactly why we created the Fluent with Friends course, so that you can include the vocabulary in English in context.

107

I wish I had something like this back in the day, when I was still at an intermediate level.

108

I would watch a lot of TV series to practice my English.

109

but I had to learn English pretty much by myself.

110

If I had something like the Fluent with Friends course back then, my English would have improved much faster.

111

Our course guides you through every episode of the first two seasons of Friends.

112

contextualizing and teaching you the most important vocabulary,

113

pronunciation, grammar, and cultural aspects you need to know in order to take your English to the next level.

114

Even academic studies say that Friends is the best TV series out there to learn English with.

115

So don't wait any longer to start developing your English fluency and having a ton of fun.

116

119

Alright?

120

Now let's get back to the lesson on suits.

121

Wait, so you're...

122

Worried that if I stay, then they might find out that you lied about me and you'll lose your license.

123

Check it out!

124

lied about me.

125

So here we have the D for lied that connects with the A for about.

126

So we hear lighter.

127

Lá, rá, with a flap sound.

128

lighter And then we say lie it about.

129

The T for about is a stop T. about.

130

about So, lied about me.

131

that you lied about me, that you lied about me.

132

you Are you telling me that if I throw you under the bus, you're gonna drag me with you?

133

Now this is a nice expression.

134

to throw someone under the bus.

135

When you throw someone under the bus, you cause this person to suffer, in order to save yourself or gain some sort of personal advantage.

136

And that's exactly what Harvey is doing to Mike here in the scene.

137

By firing Mike, Harvey is throwing Mike under the bus.

138

Here's another example from Suits.

139

Which image shows a person being dragged?

140

you Oh Now the word "drag" is an interesting word.

141

Imagine you have a very heavy bag.

142

but it's so heavy that you can't pick it up.

143

You can't carry it.

144

So what do you usually do?

145

You have to drag it, right?

146

You drag the bag by moving it across the floor, because you can't pick it up.

147

That's the meaning of drag.

148

But the verb drag in this context has more of a figurative meaning.

149

Harvey is saying If I throw you under the bus, you're going to drag me with you?

150

In other words, if I fire you and make you lose your job, you're going to make me lose my job as well?

151

You're gonna hire me as well?

152

That's what he's asking.

153

You put your interests above mine and I'm just putting mine back up.

154

Thanks to yours.

155

We have a nice connected speech pattern here.

156

When you see the situation of T + Y, the sound that we make is usually "ch".

157

Check.

158

So here we hear Put your Put your...

159

You put your interests above mine.

160

You put your interests of mine.

161

you You rehired.

162

When you are rehired, you are hired again.

163

The simple fact that you are using the prefix re means again or repeat.

164

For example, "re -do." You see?

165

To do again.

166

Replay.

167

"to play again." Re -hire to hire Again.

168

Got it?

169

What you just saw could be called blackmail.

170

Blackmail is the act of demanding benefits in return for not revealing damaging information, about someone.

171

Mike blackmails Harvey into not firing him.

172

But if you fire me, then I could tell them that you lied about me and you'd definitely lose your license.

173

Now Harvey does the same with his boss Jessica.

174

Let's watch it.

175

Here's what's going to happen.

176

You're going to give me back my promotion, and that's the last we're going to talk about this.

177

And why is that?

178

Because if you don't, I'm gonna go across town and join Rick Peterson.

179

I'm going to approach every client I've ever closed, and I'm going to take them with me.

180

You do that, and you'll force me to put you in front of the ethics board.

181

I don't think you will.

182

And why not?

183

Because you are obligated to notify them the second I lied to Gerald, but you didn't.

184

You put me in front of the board right now, I'll put you right up there with me.

185

Mm -hmm.

186

- I'll I'll give you your promotion.

187

But you have to do something for me.

188

Anything.

189

Ah.

190

Pro bono.

191

Anything but that.

192

Harvey, pro bono cases are how we as a firm show that we care about more than just ourselves.

193

I'm not saying we shouldn't do them.

194

I'm saying I shouldn't do that.

195

And it's how you can show me that you care about more than justice.

196

Yourself.

197

You'll handle this yourself.

198

You will not pass it off.

199

Absolutely.

200

Here's what's gonna happen.

201

This is a great phrase to preface what you are about to say.

202

To preface is a verb.

203

It means to introduce or begin a speech by doing something.

204

This phrase here's what's gonna happen is a nice way to

205

prepare the other person for what you are about to say and Check out this example.

206

Here's what's going to happen.

207

The police will arrest you and I'm sorry but I will be pressing charges.

208

You're gonna give me back my promotion.

209

In speech, the words you and your are also often reduced.

210

You is reduced to "ya" while "your" is reduced to "yer".

211

That's the sound we hear here.

212

You're gonna you're gonna.

213

You're gonna give me back my promotion.

214

You're gonna give me back my promotion.

215

you - I'm gonna approach every client I've ever closed, and I'm gonna take them with me.

216

You do that, and you'll force me to put you in front of the ethics board.

217

Another common reduction here: in front of.

218

What happens here is the T for front is dropped, and then we just pronounce the in,

219

which then connects with the preposition of, which sounds like a schwa sound.

220

Uh. So, Frauna.

221

You do that and you'll force me to put you in front of the ethics board.

222

Put you in front of the ethics board.

223

You do that and you'll force me to put you in front of the Ethics Board.

224

The Ethics Board, also known as the Ethics Committee, is responsible for ensuring professional conduct and ethical behavior among lawyers.

225

It issues formal opinions on what is considered ethical, when practicing law.

226

Also, they have the power to take on lawyer's license.

227

- I don't think you will.

228

- And why not?

229

Because you are obligated to notify them the second I lied to Gerald, but she didn't.

230

When you are obligated to do something, You must do it.

231

You could do it.

232

You might do it.

233

you When you are obligated to do something, you must do it.

234

Alright?

235

It's mandatory.

236

You are obliged.

237

But there is also a nice expression with this word obliged, which is Much obliged.

238

If you say: much obliged, this is a way of saying thank you, but it's really formal.

239

Check out this example from Sherlock Holmes.

240

I'm sure I can find my own way if you have other beauties to perform.

241

Much obliged, sir.

242

Thank you, sir.

243

I don't think you will.

244

And why not?

245

Because you were obligated to notify them the second I lied to Gerald, but you didn't.

246

When you notify someone, you inform that person of something.

247

And this word is usually used in a more formal, let's say official, way.

248

Check out this example from the Big Bang Theory.

249

Here we have the T +Y combination again.

250

Remember, this combination sounds like "ch".

251

-Chu!

252

Puccio.

253

And then we have right up there.

254

The T for right has this flap T sound, this rarara, which connects with up.

255

Right up.

256

So putting it all together, put you right up there.

257

Put you right up there with me.

258

Put you right up there with me.

259

you Allah I'll give you your promotion.

260

But you have to do something for me.

261

The preposition 4 is also often reduced in speech.

262

It gets reduced to a fur.

263

Fur.

264

So here we hear from me, But you have to do something for me.

265

But you have to do something for me.

266

Thank you.

267

you you Anything.

268

Um.

269

- Pro bono.

270

- Anything but that.

271

In this context of law, pro bono refers to legal representation for low -income clients.

272

In other words, no charge.

273

It's when a lawyer represents a client who doesn't have enough money

274

or can't afford to pay for that lawyer's time and service.

275

So the lawyer represents that client, for free that's a pro bono case.

276

Check out this example from Better Call Saul.

277

Why would you risk the best job you've ever had for some pro bono case?

278

I was doing a favor for a friend.

279

Anything.

280

Um.

281

anything but that the phrase anything but that could be the same as anything except that.

282

This is a nice way of using the word "but".

283

In this context, again, but means except.

284

For example, They watched all the sequels, but the last one.

285

In other words, they watched all the sequels except the last one.

286

And it's how you can show me that you care about more than just yourself.

287

You'll handle this yourself.

288

You will not pass it off.

289

Absolutely.

290

In this context, when Jessica says to Harvey, "You will not pass it off," she's telling him

291

that he won't give these pro bono cases to someone else he will have to do them himself Mike.

292

Hey!

293

Who's ready for a great first day?

294

I'm gonna have to let you go.

295

The phrase "to let you go" in this context means: to abandon you, to allow you to leave, to fire you.

296

Oh .

297

What?

298

I just got reamed for lying to a client, and if they find out that I lied about you going to Harvard, they'll take away my license.

299

Which sentence is not in the first conditional?

300

If they go there, They're going to have a lot of fun.

301

If they went there, they would go sightseeing.

302

If they don't travel next year, they'll go to the country club.

303

I You what?

304

Not now, Donna.

305

I have to put my own interests above yours.

306

It's nothing personal.

307

You're fired.

308

Wait, so you're-- worried that if I stay, then they might find out that you lied about me and you'll lose your license.

309

But if you fire me, then I could tell them that you lied about me, and you definitely lose your license.

310

Are you telling me that if I throw you under the bus, you're gonna drag me with you?

311

You put your interests in above mine, and I'm just putting mine back up Next to yours.

312

You're rehired.

313

Here's what's gonna happen.

314

You're gonna give me back my promotion, and that's the last we're gonna talk about this.

315

And why is that?

316

Because if you don't, I'm gonna go across town and join Rick Peterson.

317

I'm gonna approach every client I've ever closed, and I'm gonna take them with me.

318

You do that, and you'll force me to put you in front of the ethics board.

319

I don't think you will.

320

And why not?

321

Because you are obligated to notify them the second I lied to Gerald, but she didn't.

322

You put me in front of the board right now, I'll put you right up there with me.

323

Hmm.

324

- I'll...

325

I'll give you your promotion.

326

But you have to do something for me.

327

Anything.

328

Ah.

329

- Pro bono.

330

- Anything but that.

331

In legal context, a pro bono case is complex and hard to handle, long and takes many years to close?

332

free of charge.

333

Harvey, pro bono cases are how we as a firm show that we care about more than just ourselves.

334

I'm not saying we shouldn't do them.

335

I'm saying I shouldn't do that.

336

And it's how you can show me that you care about more than justice yourself.

337

You'll handle this yourself.

338

You will not pass it off.

339

Absolutely.

340

Alright, so now it's time for the comment of the day.

341

FOR YOU

情境與背景

在這段來自電視劇《Suits》的對話中，我們看到哈維嘗試在麥克第一天上班時解僱他，原因是哈維因對客戶撒謊而失去晉升機會。儘管麥克沒有法學院的背景，但他的聰明才智讓哈維對他刮目相看。兩位角色之間的對話不僅揭示了法律行業的緊張氛圍，也展示了職場中的個人利益衝突。在這種情況下，瞭解對話中的表達對英語學習者來說尤為重要，幫助他們在實際情境中運用語言。

日常交流的五個常用短語

Let you go - 解僱某人。通常在商業環境中使用。
Downsizing - 裁員，意味著公司因成本削減需要解僱員工。
Reamed - 被嚴厲批評或訓斥。常用於描述因錯誤行為受到的懲罰。
Throw you under the bus - 為了保護自己而出賣他人，通常是在面臨困境時。
Put my own interests above yours - 將自己的利益放在他人之上。這在商業中相當常見，涉及道德和個人利益的抉擇。

逐步跟讀指南

為了有效學習並提高英語口語能力，可以通過逐步跟讀的方法增強理解和記憶。在觀看《Suits》這段對話時，請按照以下步驟進行練習：

觀看一遍 - 先完整觀看一次影片，瞭解整體情節和人物關係。
分段跟讀 - 將對話分成小段，逐句暫停並模仿角色的發音。這有助於提高發音和語調。
注意含義 - 在跟讀的同時，思考每句話的實際含義，並嘗試將其與自身經歷聯絡起來。
重複練習 - 多次重複練習，直到能夠流利再現對話內容，感受和理解每個表述的情感。
應用於實生活 - 在日常交流中嘗試使用這些短語，幫助鞏固記憶並提高口語能力。

通過這些方法，不僅可以提高英語口語練習的效果，還能在看YouTube學英語的同時，增強對職場英語的理解和應用能力。記得加入 shadow speak 的練習，讓你的學習更加高效！

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
條件句 if + 從句，will/would + 動詞 — 條件及其結果	if + simple present Plus, will · If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'll go · if you don't love this, then we'll do
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	was denied · is reprimanded · is reduced
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	he's never been · have made · I've ever closed
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	man who lands · obliged, which is

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。
