1
Zoran Mamdani, the mayor of New York, had himself weak.
2
Well, first, his administration put out a map of New York's immigrant neighborhoods, 30 of them, and somehow just forgot Little Italy, you know, like the most famous immigrant neighborhood in the entire city.
3
And then, while America is bombing the Iranian regime and they're firing on American bases, Turns out Zoramandani's top international affairs official.
4
Why do you even have an international affairs official as a city?
5
Are you in your own country or something?
6
They scheduled a meeting with Iran, like their ambassador to the UN, and didn't tell the State Department.
7
And that only went away when the State Department found out
8
and had to explain to Mamdani's people what a city is versus what a country is.
9
So no time for little Italy.
10
Plenty of time for Iran.
11
Alrighty, so Zohar Mamdani has decided apparently that Italians are not real New Yorkers.
12
Real New Yorkers are from Pakistan or from...
13
Bangladesh or Palestine.
14
There's little Palestine as well.
15
Little Palestine, by the way, sounds really terrible.
16
That sounds like not a wonderful, incredible place, actually.
17
If it in any way mirrors the world, actual pals, maybe both don't exist, I don't know.
18
In any case, Zora Mamdani put out a map.
19
that shows all of these immigrant enclaves.
20
And they missed one called Little Italy, which, of course, is probably the most historically important New York City enclave,
21
So that was like the original Little Italy. So instead...
22
Mom, Donnie just put out a bunch of neighborhoods that he invented like Little Pakistan or Little Senegal.
23
or Little Yemen.
24
By the way, who wants to go to Little Yemen?
25
well guys we're gonna go we need to go visit little yemen Okay, like the Houthis hanging out there, like who's in little Yemen?
26
Again, these are not real names of neighborhoods.
27
He is calling them names of neighborhoods.
28
This is the New York City Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs. So.
29
There is also, by the way, no...
30
no labeling of Jewish areas in, say, Crown Heights or in Brooklyn or Borough Park or something.
31
Well, in a statement, a city hall spokesperson said the map was not designed to highlight religious enclaves in the Big Apple.
32
Instead, it said it highlights neighborhoods in New York City
33
that have substantial foreign -born populations from regions and countries around the world.
34
Well, I didn't realize that Italian is religion.
35
And they said little Odessa, which is featured in the map, has a substantial Jewish population.
36
So great job, everyone in New York City.
37
You ignored Little Italy.
38
The Italians are pissed.
39
This is where we need to insert the clip of Tony Soprano explaining that Columbus was a hero here in America.
40
He was a victim of his time. Who cares?
41
It's what he did.
42
He discovered America is what he did.
43
He was a brave Italian explorer.
44
And in this house, Christopher Columbus is a hero.
45
End of story.
46
So again, if you think the Italians, I mean, that reaction from the Sopranos, that's about where things are going to go.
47
If you think
48
that Italians in New York City are going to be very
49
high on the getting rid of little Italy in favor of little Pakistan, good luck to you, Zoran Mamdani.
50
It turns out, again, that he has a core constituency.
51
That constituency is the constituency he is interested in serving all the time, all the time.
52
And that constituency is.
53
middle to upper class white people?
54
and immigrant populations.
55
that he likes that is the entire constituency.
56
There is no other constituency.
57
And other constituents who voted for Cuomo.
58
He's not going to give him the time of day.
59
Remember, Zorn Mamdani is the guy who literally took a picture of himself
60
and put it up on social media in Black Lives Matter summer of 2020.
61
flipping off, a statue of Columbus.
62
It turns out that the inanimate statue didn't care.
63
But, He put up a picture of himself flipping off the statue of Columbus.
64
with the phrase, take it down.
65
So Columbus needs to go, but we must, must, must.
66
inform visitors to New York where little Yemen is, where little Pakistan and little Palestine are.
67
Sounds awesome.
68
unsurprisingly, by the way, Mamdani, who is trying to run the city of New York as though it's its own little polity, it's his own country or something.
69
A top Mamdani official tried to meet with the Iranian government.
70
which is kind of wild.
71
According to City Journal, A top official in Zahar Mamdani administration's Office for International Affairs, made plans to meet with the Iranian ambassador and permanent representative to the UN.
72
Commissioner Ana Maria Archila was scheduled to meet with Amir Said Arivani, Iran's permanent representative to the UN.
73
alongside a couple of other senior officials in the mayor's office for international Affairs.
74
The State Department instead met with Mamdani and his administration to say, guys, you are not allowed to do that.
75
You don't run your own foreign policy with regard to Iran, as much as Zoran Mamdani would like to think.
76
that he does.
77
On April 16th, A message seen by City Journal was sent to staff within the mayor's office for international affairs
78
asking them to prioritize diplomatic engagement in part, based on whether foreign officials are in political alignment, or leftist.
79
That's amazing.
80
So, They wanted to do diplomatic engagement only with regimes that agree with them.
81
And the first place they tried was Iran.
82
Hmm.
83
I can't imagine why.
84
You mean that Zoran Mamdani and his priorities match up with the priorities of the Iranian ayatollahs?
85
Shocking to me.
86
Can't believe it.
87
Just can't believe it.
88
Speaking of which, by the way, this is increasingly just the left.
89
Abdul El -Sayed.
90
The Michigan Senate.
91
Democrat.
92
who which by the way is in and of itself insane He's going to end up winning that primary over in Michigan, Abdul El -Sayed, with the endorsement of the party.
93
And people have been sleeping on how insane it is
94
that this person is going to be a nominee for a major party.
95
Yesterday, Abdul El -Sayed's campaign attacked Haley Stevens, who is his rival in the race.
96
for having voted in favor of of a bare bones resolution that passed through Congress.
97
paying some sort of tribute to Charlie Kirk and condemning political violence.
98
And so apparently, according to Abdul El -Sayed, that's really, really, really bad.
99
So according to Abdul El -Sayed, no tribute at all to Charlie Kirk, no mourning of Charlie Kirk, no signaling of sympathy for the death of Charlie Kirk,
100
but also But also Abdul El -Sayed was caught on tape saying, That he would not, in fact,
101
celebrate in any way the death of Ayatollah Khomeini because too many of his supporters were upset about it.
102
So yes, that's sympathy for people who support Ayatollah Khamenei.
103
No sympathy for people who liked Charlie Kirk or even thought
104
that Charlie Kirk was just an important part of the political conversation.
105
This is where the Democrats have gone at this point.
106
Now, again, the mayor's office back to New York, They have been trying to start their own sort of foreign relations department.
107
Last month, according to City Journal, Zoram Andani intended to meet with Colombian President Gustavo Petro.
108
And the meeting again was called off after the State Department was like, what are you doing?
109
Who do you think you are precisely?
110
But this is the whole thing.
111
Zormandine doesn't need to be president.
112
He thinks that New York is his flagship city.
113
And he is going to run its own foreign policy.
114
And he's going to make it unlivable for people he doesn't like there.
115
That's how this is going to go.
116
So I know there are a lot of Democrats that say, oh, well, he talks about game, but he's not going to be able to do anything.
117
Famous last words.
118
Famous last words.
119
Already, real estate investors are fleeing the city.
120
Jews in New York City, who are not willing to hide their Judaism beneath the veneer of anti -Israel trash.
121
are already thinking about leaving.
122
And frankly, they should because a city that elects at Zahran Mamdani is probably not a city that is great for people.
123
who traditionally like the country.
124
and utterly unsurprising that the same mom donnie who's flipping off a statue of columbus is perfectly happy meeting with Iran.
125
It is all the same thing forever and always.
126
That red -green alliance, the Marxist -Islamist alliance, is alive, it is kicking, it is well.
127
And it also has that horseshoe aspect where they have the sympathy of people like the Tucker Carlson's, Marjorie Taylor Greene's, and Thomas Massey's of the world.
128
What an amazing video you just watched.
129
Wasn't that amazing?

為什麼用這個影片練習口語？
這個影片以紐約市長的“糟糕一週”為話題，包含大量日常口語表達和辯論式語氣，非常適合練習英語影子跟讀。影片中主持人語速適中，用詞貼近生活，同時涉及政治、文化等多元話題，能幫助學習者熟悉不同場景下的口語邏輯。通過模仿其語調、重音和停頓，不僅能提升口語流暢度，還能學會如何自然表達觀點，是看YouTube學英語的優質素材。
語境中的語法與表達
- “somehow just forgot”：此處“somehow”表示“不知怎的”，用於表達意外或不解，比直接說“forget”更生動。例如：“I somehow missed the train.”（我不知怎的錯過了火車。）
- “turns out”：意為“結果是”，常用於引出意外發現。影片中“Turns out Zoramandani's top... ”可譯為“結果發現佐拉曼達尼的高階... ”，在口語中能快速引起聽眾注意。
- “good luck to you”：表面是祝福，實則帶有諷刺意味。這種反語表達在辯論中很常見，學習者需通過語境判斷語氣，避免誤解。
常見發音陷阱
影片中部分單詞的發音容易出錯，需特別注意：
- enclaves：發音為/ˈenkleɪvz/，重音在第一音節，不要誤讀為/enˈkleɪvz/。
- substantial：/səbˈstænʃl/，中間的“tan”要輕讀，避免發成“tæn”。
- constituency：/kənˈstɪtjuənsi/，注意“tu”的發音類似“秋”，而非“圖”。
通過shadow speech反覆模仿這些單詞，結合影片語境，能有效提高英語發音的準確性。
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 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成進行時 have/has been + -ing — 以前開始、現在仍在繼續的動作 | have been sleeping · have been trying |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | was not designed · is featured · are pissed |
| 定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物 | Odessa, which is · guy who literally · people who support |
| 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 | has decided · have gone |
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。
