Let's learn English with Zootopia!
2
So Zootopia is a fantastic Disney animated movie and it actually features the voice and singing of Shakira.
3
Zootopia is a unique place.
4
It's a crazy, beautiful, diverse city where we celebrate our differences.

11
He fared his teeth first!
12
Excuse me?
13
Down here?
14
Hi!
15
O.M.
16
Goodness.
17
They really did hire a bunny.
18
What?!
19
I gotta tell you, you are even cuter than I thought you'd be!
20
Oh, uh, you probably didn't know, but a bunny can call another bunny cute, but when other animals do it, it's a little...
21
It's a little...
22
I am so sorry.
23
Me, Benjamin Klawhauser.
24
The guy everyone thinks is just a flabby donut-loving cop, stereotyping you.
25
It's okay.
26
Oh, you've actually got...
27
There's a...
28
In your neck, the...
29
The...
30
Oh, there you went, you little dickens!
31
I should get to roll call.
32
So, which way do I...
33
Oh, bullpen's over there to the left.
34
Great, thank you.
35
Aw, that poor little buddy's gonna get you and alive.
36
This phrase works as a pun due to its double meaning.
37
First, to bare your teeth to someone means to show hostility towards that person, displaying a violent or threatening reaction.
38
The origin of this phrase comes from the attitude of animals such as wolves
39
or dogs when they are angry and ready to fight.
40
As a wolf is saying it, it has a literal meaning, instead of the metaphorical one that it usually has, and for this reason, the phrase ends up being quite humorous.
41
We will see many double entendres in this scene.
42
Excuse me?
43
Down here?
44
Hi.
45
O. M.
46
Goodness.
47
OMG is a common abbreviation for, oh my god.
48
Natives tend to soften words related to religion, such as God or Jesus, and for this reason, you might hear this phrase with the word goodness instead of God.
49
As you can see here, this phrase is used when someone is surprised or excited about something.
50
They really did hire a bunny.
51
What?!
52
To hire means to employ.
53
I was hired by the first company I applied to.
54
Which of these is the opposite of hire?
55
I gotta tell you, you are even cuter than I thought you'd be!
56
Gotta is a common contraction that replaces the sentence have to.
57
Let's listen again to the way that Benjamin says this.
58
I gotta tell you, you are even cuter than I thought you'd be!
59
Ooh, ah!
60
In this sentence, we can find a common example of connected speech.
61
This is the way that natives link their words together.
62
Here we have what we call an American T, which makes the T morph into a soft D.
63
This happens when you have a T sound between two vowel sounds.
64
For example, you would hear it with instances such as butter, getting, better.
65
So, instead of saying gotta, Benjamin says I'm not telling you, I'm not telling you!
66
If you are interested in learning more about sound morphing and connected speech, you will love our Fluent with Friends course,
67
as you will learn in a more extensive way the most important things
68
that you need to know in order to understand fast speaking natives.
69
You probably didn't know but a bunny can call another bunny cute but when other animals do it, it's a little...
70
Oh!
71
This line is interesting because it is an example of how even though this movie is made for kids, it includes very complex subjects such as discrimination and injustice.
72
This is a reference to how some words that are discriminatory
73
or sexist are okay for people to say if they belong to a certain group, race, gender, etc. In fact,
74
they can even be used in a way of empowerment.
75
But when used by people outside of that group, it is considered offensive.
76
This is a humorous way to comment on a complex topic, because the word cute is very innocent and harmless.
77
However, Judy points out that for bunnies the word cute is offensive when another animal uses it to describe them.
78
The adjective flabby refers to a part of someone's body that is soft and fat.
79
Exercise helps to flatten a flabby stomach.
80
A stereotype is a preconceived notion, especially about a group of people.
81
It is important to mention that most of them are based on prejudice, so you should be wary about them.
82
Notice that here Benjamin used it as a verb.
83
Not crazy looking Rosa have a dollar
84
and I taught you nothing about Stereotyping I'm beginning to feel like you're our biggest project sweetie enough.
85
We're gonna find this wicked witch
86
Stealer one I'll get that big pile of gold and you can have a nice pile of bananas, right?
87
Bananas Oh, I see because I'm a monkey.
88
I must love bananas, right?
89
That is a vicious Stereotype you like bananas. Of course.
90
I love bananas.
91
I'm a monkey.
92
Don't be ridiculous.
93
I just don't like you saying it
94
Benjamin's saying that people only think of him as a fat cop that loves eating donuts.
95
As he suffers due to other people's prejudice of him, he should not be doing the same with Judy.
96
If something is folded, it means that part of it covers the other.
97
You could fold a newspaper or a napkin, for example.
98
Judy's referring to the fold of Benjamin's neck where he has somehow forgotten a donut.
99
Who you went you little Dickens?
100
This phrase might result confusing if you're not familiar with the expression you little Dickens.
101
Dickens is an emphasizinger used to show surprise or annoyance.
102
Benjamin is using it in a playful way, saying it to the donut because he couldn't find it before.
103
Let's look at a more negative example.
104
You little dickens, give me back my wallet!
105
We would probably usually use this expression when talking to or about children.
106
Note that we can also say little devil, but it would be slightly stronger, similar to the difference between oh my goodness or oh my god.
107
I should get to roll call, so which way do I?
108
Oh bullpens over there to the left.
109
Great, thank you!
110
When someone reads aloud the names of people on a list to check whether or not they are present, that person is doing a roll call.
111
Bullpen is actually a funny word to use in Zootopia because it is literally an enclosure for bulls, as seen here.
112
However, when referring to some sort of office, it is a room with an open floor plan, that is, without walls to divide the desks.
113
This is common, for example, in police stations and newsrooms.
114
Here's another example from a police series called Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
115
Bottles.
116
Boil.
117
Bowl pen.
118
What are you...
119
Bottles.
120
Boil.
121
Bowl pen.
122
Bowling.
123
Behold, Brooklyn buddies.
124
Boil, bowl pen, bottle bowling.
125
Beautiful.
126
Be brave, bro. Be brave.
127
Bowl!
128
Damn!
129
Boo-yah!
130
Aww, that poor little bunny's gonna get eaten alive.
131
The phrase, to be eaten alive, is commonly used to say that someone will be completely defeated by someone who is much stronger.
132
Example, he was afraid that Thomas would be eaten alive by the criminals in jail.
133
As Benjamin sees Judy as a sweet little bunny, he thinks that she won't be able to succeed serving in Zootopia's police office.
134
Again, the humor in this phrase refers to that in the animal world, they could literally be eaten alive.
135
So again, there was a pun intended.
136
You ready to make the world a better place?
137
Ahem.
138
Attend it!
139
Alright, alright.
140
Everybody sit.
141
I've got three items on the docket.
142
First, we need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
143
Francine.
144
Happy birthday.
145
Oh yeah!
146
Oh, cool.
147
Number two, there are some new recruits with us I should introduce, but I'm not going to because I don't care.
148
Finally, we have 14 missing mammal cases, all predators from a giant polar bear to a teensy little otter.
149
And City Hall is right up my tail to find them.
150
This is priority number one.
151
Assignments?
152
Officers Grisoli, Fangmire, Delgado, your teams take missing mammals from the rainforest district.
153
Officers McHorn, Ritevitz, Wolford, your teams take Sahara Square.
154
Officers Higgins, Snarlok, Trunkabee, Tundra Town.
155
And finally, our first bunny, Officer Hopps.
156
Parking duty.
157
Dismissed.
158
Parking duty?
159
A cheap?
160
Chief Balgo?
161
Sir, you said there were 14 missing mammal cases. So?
162
So I can handle one.
163
You probably forgot, but I was top of my class at the academy.
164
Didn't forget.
165
Just don't care.
166
Sir, I'm not just some token bunny.
167
Well, then writing 100 tickets a day should be easy.
168
100 tickets.
169
I'm not going to write 100 tickets.
170
I'm going to write 200 tickets before noon.
171
Hey!
172
Opps or hops?
173
Did you notice the main character's name?
174
She is a bunny and her name is Judy Hopps.
175
Now this is funny because the action we associate with bunnies is that they hop.
176
What do you think is another way to say hop?
177
That's right, a hop is a small jump.
178
You ready to make the world a better place?
179
When speaking informally, it is very common for natives to remove the auxiliary verb are in questions.
180
Instead of saying, are you ready to make the world a better place?
181
She simply said, you ready to make the world a better place?
182
You ready to make the world a better place?
183
And we also do this with other auxiliary verbs.
184
Do you think?
185
You think?
186
Is he coming?
187
He coming?
188
Have you seen it?
189
You seen it?
190
This is an American military term that means attention.
191
An item is one thing that's usually in a group or a list.
192
A docket is a list of all the things that need to be discussed.
193
This is a bit of a formal word, but here it is appropriate as it is being used by the police chief.
194
As we can see here, Chief Bogo is saying that he has three things that he considers important to be mentioned during the roll call.
195
First, we need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
196
To acknowledge means to accept, admit, or recognize something.
197
I've got news for you mom, I'm not visiting dad in jail anymore.
198
No, I've had it, I really have.
199
You know, I'm down there every single day, I'm trying to do what I can to get this company back on track and he barely even acknowledges me.
200
That is disgusting, talk to your father.
201
Once again, we have a funny use of a figurative expression.
202
When someone says, we need to talk about the elephant in the room, the elephant in the room refers to something uncomfortable and awkward that everyone in the room is thinking about,
203
but is avoiding speaking about.
204
However, here the elephant in the room is quite literally an elephant.
205
By the way, did you notice how he said this?
206
We need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
207
Here we can see some connected speech, how natives cut and link their words together.
208
How would you say this?
209
In school, you were probably taught to say it like, elephant in the room.
210
But listen to how he said it.
211
We need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
212
We need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
213
He didn't say elephant in, he said elephant in.
214
Often when we have the letters NT together, natives drop the T sound.
215
For example, internet, internet, international, international.
216
I can't eat that, I can't eat that.
217
And that's exactly what Chief Bogo did here.
218
Now listen again and repeat.
219
We need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
220
We need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
221
Here are a couple more examples from the TV series Friends.
222
That was amazing!
223
I can't even send back soup!
224
No, no, it's a real thing.
225
Anyone can get ordained on the internet and perform, like, weddings and stuff.
226
You guys are gonna come and visit me, right?
227
Yes!
228
You know in six months the statute of limitations runs out and I can travel internationally again.
229
Hey so do you want to be able to understand natives even when we speak really fast?
230

237
Francine, happy birthday.
238
Hi!
239
Oh yeah!
240
Oh!
241
Oh!
242
Number two!
243
There are some new recruits with us I should introduce, but I'm not going to because I don't care.
244
A recruit is a new member of an organization.
245
This term is usually used to refer to the military organization, referring to a recently enlisted soldier.
246
But you might hear it used for a club or group.
247
Example, the Fraternity House has 15 new recruits a semester.
248
As the police is a hierarchical organization, similar to the military, there are many words and expressions that are shared.
249
Attend hut, dismissed, recruits, etc. If you introduce someone, you formally present that person to a group.
250
Chief Bogo should introduce new recruits to their colleagues, but he doesn't want to do it.
251
By this attitude, we can see that he doesn't show much interest in doing his job, and this contrasts with Judy's enthusiasm.
252
Any animal in which the female feed their cubs with milk from her own body is classified as a mammal.
253
Humans, dogs, and dolphins are just a few examples of mammals.
254
Police deal with different cases on a daily basis.
255
That is a particular problem that needs to be solved.
256
What are you trying to tell us?
257
Is this some kind of a clue?
258
Canalizatia!
259
Trump?
260
Better.
261
We have no idea what this is.
262
I think it's a cookie.
263
No, it's a pizza.
264
It's a cookie pizza!
265
Another case solved!
266
No, detectives, we...
267
I'm putting myself on this case.
268
Alright, Captain!
269
Looks like New York's finest.
270
Just got a whole lot.
271
Let's go!
272
Alright.
273
That's the sound of the police!
274
other animals.
275
For example, lions, wolves, and foxes are all predators.
276
The animals they hunt are prey.
277
Teensy means very small.
278
Example, the movie was a teensy bit boring.
279
What's another way to say teensy?
280
Trick question, all three of these have the same meaning.
281
And City Hall is right up my tail to find them.
282
This is priority number one
283
This phrase is quite funny because it refers to the expression up my butt
284
As the chief is a buffalo He has a tail
285
and for this reason the expression has been changed as well as to avoid vulgarity as it is a children's movie
286
Chief Bogo is saying that the City Hall is urging him intensely to find them
287
so they'll have to give maximum importance to those cases before any other.
288
Assignments?
289
An assignment is a piece of work that is given to someone.
290
I'm going to give you a little homework assignment.
291
I want you and your kids to have a family playdate.
292
Maybe if the four of you can get along, you can set a better example for your children.
293
I think that's a wonderful idea, Pam.
294
Fine.
295
The chief will give every member of the police their task to do.
296
Judy got
297
the assignment of parking duty.
298
That means that she'll be responsible for things related to this activity such as fines
299
This seems like a boring task to do
300
and she doesn't want to be in charge of this particular
301
duty as we can see here She'd prefer to solve one of the cases of the missing mammals
302
Dismissed means to let someone leave for example
303
if your professor says class dismissed This means that all the students are free to go.
304
If you say that you can handle something, you mean that you can deal with it, even if it's a difficult situation.
305
down?
306
I don't think you're the guy you used to be.
307
So you're saying that if I can deal with you, then I can handle any other little girl.
308
Let's take a look at how Judy said this.
309
Judy did something that native speakers do all the time, and that is reducing the verb can.
310
When we do this, rather than saying a long a sound, we reduce it to a short I sound.
311
So I can handle one.
312
Let's see a few more examples of this.
313
I can be an astronaut.
314
Today I can hunt for tax exemptions.
315
I'm gonna be an actuary.
316
And I can make the world a better place.
317
I am going to be...
318
A police officer!
319
You probably forgot, but I was top of my class at the academy.
320
Didn't forget, just don't care.
321
If you are top of your class, you are the best student out of all the other students at your same level.
322
That is, you have the best marks or grades in your various subjects or tests.
323
She's top of her class in math.
324
So out of all the graduates of her police academy,
325
Judy did the best on the various exams and physical tests.
326
Hey, do you love Disney movies?
327
Well, they are fantastic for your English, and that's why we have a playlist with a ton of different lessons featuring different Disney movies.
328
You can check that out after you finish this lesson by clicking up here.
329
In this case, a token is a person who is considered as a representative of a minority
330
and that has been hired primarily to prevent an employer for being accused of discrimination.
331
By saying this, Judy means that she is qualified and can actually do her job, and that she's there to be a police officer like all the others.
332
Down here?
333
Hi.
334
O.M.
335
Goodness.
336
They really did hire a bunny.
337
What?!
338
I gotta tell you, you are even cuter than I thought you'd be!
339
Oh, uh, you probably didn't know, but a bunny can call another bunny cute, but when other animals do it, it's a little...
340
I am so sorry.
341
Me, Benjamin Klawhauser.
342
The guy everyone thinks is just a flabby donut-loving cop, stereotyping you.
343
It's okay.
344
Oh, you've actually got there's a in your neck the phone You went you little dickens
345
I should get to roll call so Which way do I oh bullpens over there to the left great.
346
Thank you.
347
Oh Aww, that poor little buddy's gonna get eaten alive.
348
Hey, Officer Hopps.
349
You ready to make the world a better place?
350
Ahem.
351
Attendant!
352
Alright, alright.
353
Everybody sit.
354
I've got three items on the docket.
355
First, we need to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
356
Francine.
357

358
Number two.
359

360

361

362
All predators from a giant polar bear to a teensy little otter.

369
And finally, our first bunny, Officer Hopps.
370
Parking duty.
371
Dismissed.
372
Parking duty?
373
A chief?
374
Chief Bogo?
375
Sir, you said there were 14 missing mammal cases. So?
376
So I can handle one.
377
You probably forgot, but I was top of my class at the academy.
378
Didn't forget.
379
Just don't care.
380
Sir, I'm not just some token bunny.
381
Well then writing a hundred tickets a day should be easy.
382
A hundred tickets.
383
I'm not going to write a hundred tickets.
384
I'm going to write two hundred tickets.
385
Before noon.
386
So I hope you've had a lot of fun learning some real-life English with me today with Zootopia.
387
Keep it going, you can check out another one of our lessons right over here.

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。
