andy's axe lands her dream job as an assistant to miranda priestly the powerful editor -in -chief of runway magazine

but the dream quickly becomes a nightmare as andy struggles to meet miranda's impossible demands

while feeling completely out of place in the high fashion world

in today's lesson we'll watch the scene where randy turns to nigel the magazine's art director for support how hard she's working.

But instead of sympathy, Nigel tells her that Miranda isn't picking on her, She's just doing her job.

It's a harsh wake -up call that forces Andy to confront the reality of her situation.

Wake up call, give credit, pick on.

These expressions and the other ones you learned today are included in the deck of flashcards

that we created for this lesson when you watch it on the RealLife app.

And you can unlock this lesson for free and get a much better learning experience right now.

by clicking the link in the description below.

I'll tell you more about it later, but now, This is how the lesson will work.

First, we will watch the clip with the subtitles.

Then you'll learn the key vocabulary and pronunciation.

And finally, at the end, you'll test your comprehension by watching the entire scene one last time, this time without subtitles.

And I'll ask you some quiz questions to see how well you've understood.

everything.

So let's now watch the first clip.

- - She hates me, Nigel.

And that's my problem because...

Oh, wait, no. It's not my problem.

I don't know what else I can do because if I do something right, it's unacknowledged.

She doesn't even say thank you.

But if I do something wrong, she is...

Vicious! So quit.

What?

Quit.

- Okay.

I can get another girl to take your job in five minutes.

One who really wants it.

I -I -No, I don't want to quit.

That's not fair.

But I, you know, I'm just saying that

I would just like a little credit for the fact that I'm killing myself trying.

Ugh, Andy. Be serious.

You are not trying.

You are whining.

What is it that you want me to say to you, huh?

Do you want me to say, "Poor you"?

Miranda's picking on you.

Poor you.

Poor Andy.

Mm?

"Wake up, Six.

She's just doing her job." Andy's pouring her heart out here,

and every word she uses perfectly captures that feeling of being trapped in a toxic work situation.

Let's break down these expressions that native speakers reach for when there is their breaking point.

She hates me, Nigel.

And that's my problem because...

Oh, wait, no, it's not my problem.

I don't know what else I can do because if I do something right, it's unacknowledged.

She doesn't even say thank you.

When something goes unacknowledged, it's like it never happened.

Nobody notices, nobody says "good job" or gives you credit.

It's the opposite of being acknowledged or appreciated.

Check out this example of someone getting their hard work acknowledged.

And thanks for acknowledging me earlier.

It's nice for my mother when I'm mentioning papers.

Now, how do you pronounce this word?

Check out how Andy says it.

She is vicious.

Many learners mistakenly pronounce the C here as an S sound.

Make sure you say "vicious" with a clear "sh" sound, not "vices".

"Vicious" means extremely cruel or aggressive.

A vicious person doesn't just criticize, they attack you personally.

So when Andy says "Miranda is vicious", she's saying Miranda insults her when she

Andy gets things wrong.

Check out this other example.

- Okay.

Yeah.

Vicious.

Now, let's practice some connected speech.

This is how natives cut, reduce, and morph words together when they speak.

Learning it helps you sound more natural and it makes it much easier to understand fast speaking natives in real conversations.

Listen to this part again.

ease out.

doesn't even try to repeat after Andy.

She doesn't even say thank you.

She doesn't even say thank you. So quit.

What?

Thank you.

Quit.

Crack.

I can get another girl to take your job in five minutes.

One who really wants it.

No, I don't want to quit.

That's not fair.

And here, there is a common pattern of reduction that natives use all the time.

Listen to how Andy says "I don't want to quit".

I don't want to quit.

That's not fair.

I don't want to becomes I don't wanna.

I don't wanna quit.

Now you try it.

I don't want to quit.

That's not fair.

I don't want to quit.

That's not fair.

But I, you know, I'm just saying that

100

I would just like a little credit for the fact that I'm killing myself trying.

101

Andy says she wants a little credit.

102

What do you think that means?

103

She wants a raise.

104

She wants someone to say thank you.

105

She wants a day off.

106

In this context, credit means recognition or appreciation.

107

When someone gives you credit, it's like they are saying "Hey, I see what you did there" and it mattered.

108

For example, if you and a friend cook dinner together, but everyone only compliments your friend, You might feel like you didn't get credit for your part.

109

Now, this is a really great phrase native use all the time, and you definitely sound natural yourself, using it too.

110

But the question is, do you think you'll remember this expression later, when you need it?

111

I mean, this is a quite common situation for many English learners.

112

You get into a conversation and right when you need to use a certain expression you've learned before, It doesn't come to you.

113

Your brain? simply goes blank then you pause try to remember

114

But the flow of your sentence has already been ruined because you got stuck.

115

I know that feels so good really frustrating to don't be able to express yourself the way you would like.

116

I've been there myself.

117

And that is exactly why we created the RealLife English app to help you become a confident natural English speaker.

118

By practicing with these lessons, the way they were meant to be.

119

Yeah on the app.

120

Every lesson like this one with movies, TV series, podcasts, It comes with a fool transcript and flashcards of the most advanced expressions.

121

You know, all of this that we've been seeing.

122

And by practicing just 10 -15 minutes daily, you'll be able to remember the words and expressions you are learning

123

forever This happens because of the spaced repetition technology we developed, which lets you review words just when you're about to forget them.

124

Can you imagine being able to use all this vocabulary in your next real -life conversation in English?

125

And you can unlock this lesson you're watching right now for free,

126

which comes with all the resources I've mentioned by clicking the link in the description below using your phone.

127

I'll see you there.

128

But I, you know, I'm just saying that, I would just like a little credit for the fact that I'm killing myself trying.

129

That's a dramatic way to say she's working extremely hard.

130

When someone says, "I'm killing myself trying," they don't literally mean dying, of course.

131

She means she's pushing herself to the absolute limit of working so hard it's exhausting and painful.

132

Check out this other example.

133

Look, Dana, I think I was doing a great job.

134

At least I was killing myself trying to.

135

- Andy, be serious.

136

You are not trying.

137

You are whining.

138

- To whine is to complain in that annoying, high -pitched way that makes people want to cover their ears.

139

Think of a small child saying, But I don't want to go to bed.

140

It's not fair.

141

That's whining.

142

When adults whine, they sound like they're feeling sorry for themselves instead of taking action.

143

Nigel's basically saying "stop complaining and do something about it".

144

See this other example: They're getting remarried and Spen still doesn't even remember me.

145

Rosie, may I give you some advice?

146

Stop whining.

147

I don't whine.

148

Yes, you do.

149

And if you really want to win him back, do something about it.

150

What is it that you want me to say to you, huh?

151

Do you want me to say, "Poor you"?

152

Miranda's picking on you.

153

Poor you.

154

Poor Andy.

155

Now, poor you can be genuine sympathy.

156

Like when your friend gets sick and you say, "Oh, poor you.

157

That sounds awful." But Nigel's being sarcastic here.

158

He's mocking Andy for "playing the victim".

159

And to pick on someone means to criticize

160

and target them unfairly like a bully who always chooses the same kid to tease.

161

Andy feels like Miranda is picking on her, but Nigel is challenging that.

162

And honestly, This is a very thin line, right?

163

Between picking on someone and trying to motivate them.

164

It's what happens in this example.

165

Well, you better decide how badly you want it

166

because this school is filled with people who will do whatever Necessary to make it in this business.

167

Why are you picking on me?

168

I'm not I'm motivating you.

169

Oh Hmm?

170

Wake up, six.

171

She's just doing her job.

172

This "wake up" has nothing to do with sleep.

173

It means "open your eyes to reality" or "stop being naive." Nigel's telling Andy to face the truth about her situation.

174

And then he calls her "six." That's a reference to her clothing size.

175

saying, "You don't even feed into this world physically, let alone professionally.

176

That was tough to watch wasn't it?

177

But sometimes we need someone to tell us the hard truth.

178

That's exactly what happens next, as we see the beginning of End is transformation.

179

Let's watch it.

180

This is a shining beacon of hope for...

181

Thank you.

182

Oh, I don't know.

183

Let's say a young boy growing up in Rhode Island with six brothers pretending to go to soccer practice

184

when he was really going to sewing class and reading Runway under the covers at night with a flashlight.

185

You have no idea how many legends have walked these halls, and what's worse, You don't care.

186

Because this place where so many people would die to work, you only deign to work.

187

And you want to know why she doesn't kiss you on the forehead.

188

and give you a gold star.

189

on your homework at the end of the day.

190

Wake up, sweetheart.

191

Thank you.

192

- Okay, so I'm screwing it up.

193

- - I don't want to.

194

I just wish that I knew what I could do to...

195

Nigel.

196

you No. I don't know what you expect me to do.

197

There's nothing in this whole closet that'll fit a size 6, I can guarantee you.

198

These are all sample sizes, 2 and 4.

199

All right, we'll turn this for you. And...

200

I'm Honcho.

201

You'll take what I give you and you'll like it.

202

This is where Nigel opens his heart and shows Andy and us why this world means everything to him.

203

The vocabulary here gets more sophisticated, more emotional.

204

You think this is just a magazine?

205

Hmm?

206

This is not just a magazine.

207

This is a shining beacon of hope for...

208

A beacon is like a lighthouse, a bright light that guides ships safely to shore, but they're lost at sea.

209

So a shining beacon of hope is something that gives people direction and inspiration when they feel lost or different.

210

For Nigel, this fashion magazine wasn't just pretty pictures.

211

It was proof that there was a place in the world for someone like him.

212

She's not a leader.

213

She just wants to save her own skin.

214

It's as simple as that.

215

I think that's true.

216

She's become a beacon of hope for the rebellion.

217

And she has to be eliminated.

218

Oh, I don't know.

219

Let's say a young boy growing up in Rhode Island with six brothers pretending to go to soccer practice

220

when he was really going to sewing class and reading Runway under the covers at night with a flashlight.

221

Now, Rhode Island is a small, more conservative state in this region of the US called New England.

222

You can imagine, for a young boy there, interested in fashion and sewing, using needle and thread to create clothes, life could feel pretty lonely.

223

And the word "runway" here doesn't refer to the platform where models walk, it's the name of the fashion magazine where they work.

224

You have no idea how many legends have walked these halls, and what's worse, You don't care.

225

Because this place where so many people would die to work, you only deign to work.

226

What do you think it means if someone deigns to work?

227

They are excited and proud to do the job?

228

They are too good for this job, but do it anyway.

229

or they're working harder than usual.

230

When someone deigns to do something, they act like this task is beneath them.

231

Imagine a famous chef agreeing to make you a peanut butter sandwich.

232

They'll do it, but they want you to know they're way too good for this simple task.

233

So when Nigel says Andy deigns to work there, he means she acts like the job is beneath her,

234

like she's blessing them with her presence instead of appreciating the opportunity.

235

And you want to know why she doesn't kiss you on the forehead.

236

and give you a gold star on your homework at the end of the day.

237

wake up sweetheart a gold star in your homework is what teachers give to little kids

238

when they do well now when nigel calls andy sweetheart it's not romantic

239

or even friendly it's talking down to her like saying oh honey in a way

240

that means you poor ignorant thing after hearing all this andy finally admits she's screwing it up okay

241

so i'm screwing it up to screw something up is are ruining something through your own mistakes.

242

You're messing it up or failing at something.

243

I don't know what you expect me to do.

244

There's nothing in this whole closet that'll fit a size six, I can guarantee you.

245

These are all sample sizes, two and four.

246

In the fashion industry, sample sizes are the tiny sizes, usually 0, 2 or 4, that designers use for their original pieces and runway shirts.

247

Most clothes in fashion magazines are shot on models who wear these incredibly small sizes.

248

All right, we'll turn this for you. And...

249

A poncho.

250

Here's what a traditional poncho looks like.

251

It's a loose sleeveless outer garment, basically a blanket with a hole for your head.

252

While some can be stylish, many look shapeless and bulky, which might explain Andy's reaction to the jacket.

253

Alright, now let's test your comprehension.

254

We're going to watch the entire clip again without subtitles and I'll ask you some quiz questions to see how well

255

He understood everything.

256

- She hates me, Nigel.

257

And that's my problem because...

258

Oh, wait, no. It's not my problem.

259

I don't know what else I can do, because if I do something right, it's unacknowledged.

260

She doesn't even say thank you.

261

But if I do something wrong, she is...

262

Vicious!

263

Which image best shows someone being vicious?

264

So quit.

265

What?

266

Thank you.

267

Quit?

268

-Fuck.

269

I can get another girl to take your job in five minutes.

270

One who really wants it.

271

No, I don't want to quit.

272

That's not fair.

273

But I, you know, I'm just saying that...

274

I would just like a little credit for the fact that I'm killing myself trying.

275

Which of these expressions are commonly used with the word "credit" in this context?

276

you Ugh, Andy. Be serious.

277

You are not trying.

278

You are whining.

279

What is it that you want me to say to you, huh?

280

Do you want me to say, "Poor you"?

281

Miranda's picking on you.

282

Poor you.

283

Poor Andy.

284

What does "picking on" mean in this sentence?

285

She's always picking on her little brother.

286

you Thank you.

287

Amen you Mm?

288

Wake up, six.

289

She's just doing her job.

290

Thank you.

291

You think this is just a magazine?

292

Hmm?

293

This is not just a magazine.

294

Complete the phrase: "During difficult times, her kindness was like a.. of hope for everyone around her.

295

you This is a shining beacon of hope for...

296

Thank you.

297

Oh, I don't know.

298

Let's say a young boy growing up in Rhode Island with six brothers pretending to go to soccer practice

299

when he was really going to sewing class and reading Runway under the covers at night with a flashlight.

300

You have no idea how many legends have walked these halls, and what's worse, You don't care.

301

Because this place where so many people would die to work, you only deign to work.

302

When someone deigns to do something, it usually means they feel unsure if they can, "Happy to help" or "Too good for it".

303

And you want to know why she doesn't kiss you on the forehead

304

and give you a gold star on your homework at the end of the day.

305

Wake up, sweetheart.

306

Thank you.

307

- Okay, so I'm screwing it up.

308

- - I don't want to.

309

I just wish that I knew what I could do to...

310

Nigel.

311

Nigel.

312

Nigel.

313

Bye.

314

No. I don't know what you're expecting to do.

315

There's nothing in this whole closet that'll fit a size 6, I can guarantee you.

316

These are all sample sizes, 2 and 4.

317

Alright, we'll join this for you.

318

A poncho.

319

You'll take what I give you and you'll like it.

320

Oh yeah, amazing job!

321

Now, remember to go and practice what you learned today on the RealLife English app.

322

You'll find a special link right in the description below.

323

That'll take you straight to this lesson over there.

324

- Okay, now I was at this play that I love so much, I've seen it twice now, "Anne Juliet." So "Anne Juliet" is a play where,

325

what if Juliet didn't die with Romeo?

326

And a lot of it is influenced by Shakespeare's wife, And her name...

327

is Anne Hathaway.

328

Then I did, A little digging.

329

What'd you learn?

330

There's a conspiracy

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
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	you've understood · you've learned · has already been ruined
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	are included · being trapped · being acknowledged
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	One who really · people who will

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。
