That's a big deal.

I know.
11
Feels good.
12
You're a very talented actor,
13
and I always say you're a very talented singer as well.
14
I've heard you sing in Les Miserables.
15
We heard you sing in Mamma Mia movies.
16
Did you get asked...
17
Yeah.
18
I got another...
19
I got another musical coming out at the end of the movie, too.
20
You do?
21
Yeah.
22
I'll talk to you about it later.
23
No, you can tell me a little...
24
No, it's just like a thing.
25
Is it a movie?
26
It's about the leader of the Shaker movement in 1770,
27
but it's a musical.
28
Wow.
29
More on that later.
30
Watch this space.
31
I was gonna go more pop culture and go,
32
are you gonna do Mamma Mia 3?
33
Yeah, absolutely.
34
I think, honestly, I can see the future,
35
and it looks like before 2038,
36
we're gonna be on the track.
37
You're on the right track.
38
No, but people must ask you all the time, because you're so great.
39
Every week.
40
Every week?
41
Yeah.
42
Yeah, I just saw something you said maybe if they do do Mamma Mia 3, you want.. because Cher is your grandma.
43
Meryl Streep is your mom.
44
And then I've heard some in some interviews you said maybe Sabrina Carpenter should play your daughter.
45
Yeah, listen, I'm aging, as everybody does, naturally.
46
It's fine.
47
It's great.
48
I love it.
49
But wouldn't it be fun if...
50
Somebody said she was a fan of the musical,
51
and they said, couldn't she play her daughter one day?
52
They fed it to me,
53
and I was like, yeah, that would be great.
54
And then it's the headline.
55
It's not like I was like,
56
you know who should play my daughter?
57
Yeah.
58
You brought it up.
59
Yeah.
60
Big fan.
61
Big fan.
62
Yeah, me too.
63
Big fan.
64
That would be unbelievable.
65
Anyway, just putting it out there.
66
Putting it out there.
67
It's going to happen. By 2038.
68
Yeah.
69
We know that you have a great singing voice.
70
I was going to ask you,
71
do you play any instruments?
72
I do, yeah.
73
I started piano when I was seven,
74
and I did that for four years,
75
and I did the clarinet.
76
I did a little clarinet, too.
77
You did?
78
Why?
79
It's a great question.
80
I think it was, you know, free, I think.
81
Okay, yeah, same.
82
It was with my high school,
83
and I go, they go,
84
no one chose this, so would you like to play it?
85
That's absolutely how it started with me as well,
86
and I only lasted a year, because it was hard.
87
Me too, it's hard.
88
Yeah, it's hard, it's weird.
89
And also, it's not an instrument you could walk into a room and be like,
90
you guys want to hear any Benny Goodman?
91
There's like literally no flex with that.
92
No. But guitar, play guitar.
93
I played this dulcimer.
94
Do you know what the dulcimer is?
95
A dulcimer?
96
Do you know what?
97
Yeah, I know it.
98
Oh, good, great.
99
It's like a lap instrument.
100
It's like a...
101
It's an acoustic instrument.
102
It's a wood instrument.
103
And I learned that during the pandemic.
104
Is that right?
105
We always have a dulcimer here, just in case anyone...
106
Just in case anyone plays a dulcimer.
107
She is gorgeous.
108
It is a beautiful...
109
Would you look at her?
110
I mean, this is a work of art.
111
A treat.
112
Are you gonna play?
113
I was thinking about it, but I'd rather...
114
Maybe...
115
Would you guys like to see Amanda try a little bit?
116
Oh, no. They said so.
117
Wow, this is what I learned to play during the pandemic for almost two years.
118
Uh, what...
119
Does anybody know what this is?
120
I don't really...
121
I know a little bit of it.
122
I know...
123
Ooh. Can we...
124
Can we see if it's in tune for a certain song?
125
Yeah, sure.
126
Anybody?
127
Uh...
128
No?
129
Mm-hmm, yep.
130
Mm.
131
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
132
Oh!
133
Yeah!
134
Oh, yeah, that's pretty good.
135
All right.
136
OK, you know what?
137
I would love to play something.
138
I would love to play something that's about a state which deserves a lot of love right now.
139
Can anyone guess?
140
Yeah.
141
California?
142
Yes, Calabarnia!
143
But there's a lot of California's.
144
Joni Mitchell?
145
Because she wrote a lot of the songs from the Blue album That's the sound.
146
On the dulcimer.
147
And I learned a lot of her stuff from the Blue album when the world stopped.
148
And I'm going to play it for you, but guess what?
149
I'm nervous.
150
DON'T.
151
Never be nervous.
152
OK, ready?
153
Ready?
154
Yeah.
155
SITTING IN A PARK IN PARIS PRINCE READING THE NEWS
156
AND IT SURE LOOKS BAD THEY WON'T GIVE CHEESE A CHANCE IT WAS JUST A DREAM SOME OF US HAD
157
Still a lot of lands to see,
158
but I wouldn't want to stay here.
159
It's too old and cold and settled in its ways here.
160
California.
161
California, I'm coming home.
162
I'm going to see the folks I dig.
163
I'll even kiss a sunset pig.
164
California, I'm coming home.
165
What are you talking about?
166
What are you talking about?
167
Playing the dulcetor?
168
Are you kidding me?
169
That is amazing.
170
Thanks.
171
Really, though?
172
Really?
173
Yes.
174
God, that was unbelievable.
175
But you know what happens when you become bored?
176
Yeah.
177
You want to learn new things.
178
Yeah, you want to try new things.
179
That was a home run.
180
Unbelievable.
181
You were so good.
182
Oh, thank you.
183
That's very nice.
184
Thank you.
185
Unbelievable.
186
I hope we can clear it.
187
I want to talk about your new show, Long Bright River.
188
I know you have a lot of animals,
189
and so in this show I was watching, there's a parrot.
190
No animals except the parrot, yeah.
191
There's a parrot.
192
Did you get along with that parrot?
193
Yeah, I did.
194
Yeah, famously.
195
Famously.
196
I mean, within the confines of set.
197
Yeah, they wouldn't tell me some days when Sammy,
198
the parrot, was gonna be on set because they didn't want me to be distracted from the task at hand,
199
which is trying to get through each scene and trying to get through the day.
200
So, yeah, I got really tight with Sammy, and it was...
201
It's so exciting being on a set with an animal because they're,
202
like, trained differently than civilian animals.
203
Did Sammy meet any of your chickens or anything?
204
Uh, no. You didn't?
205
No. No, no, no. No,
206
I couldn't take Sammy off the premises.
207
Oh, you can't?
208
That would be, like, a kidnapping situation.
209
Can you bring the chicken to work?
210
Uh, no, I don't think so.
211
No?
212
No. Did you ever think about getting a bird?
213
Uh, I have peacocks, and, um, they're, uh, HM.
214
High-maint as...
215
Um...
216
HMAF?
217
They...
218
HMAF.
219
Oh, I should have done that.
220
No, the peacocks, I got a lot of hens.
221
I got 20 hens.
222
Yeah, I got a lot of birds, but no parrots.
223
I think they're high-maintenance.
224
I got a bearded dragon instead,
225
when it felt like we had a hole,
226
and we needed to fill it with an animal.
227
Yeah.
228
Um, for my daughter. And...
229
Are they easy to take care of?
230
No. But you know what's great about them is we got it because we have this dog who's, um...
231
I mean, I've paraded him around my whole life,
232
Finn, and he's 15 and a half,
233
and we didn't want anyone to impose on his floor space.
234
So we thought the only thing we could do is get a bird or a bearded dragon.
235
Yeah.
236
And because the bird's H-M-A-F,
237
I got a bearded dragon,
238
which also happens to be H-M-A-F.
239
Yeah, I mean, we're good-looking out for Finn, by the way.
240
Shout-out, Finn.
241
We love you, bud.
242
Shout-out to Finny boy.
243
Come on.
244
Shout-out to Finn.
245
15 and a half.
246
Fantastic.
247
Uh, can you tell everyone what Long Bright River is about?
248
Longbirt River is a...
249
Oof.
250
It's a very, very grounded crime show about this woman who's a cop,
251
who's not a very good cop.
252
I always wanted to play a cop,
253
who works in and around Kensington and Philadelphia.
254
It's a very specific neighborhood that's been marginalized and feared.
255
And we kind of change the perspective.
256
And we get very involved in her day-to-day life.
257
And there's a series of murders that she's trying to solve
258
because somebody she loves very dearly could possibly be the next victim.
259
And, um, it's a real love story to Philly.
260
And James Poyser is...
261
Yeah, James Poyser from the Roots did the music for the show.
262
Yeah, he did.
263
Our very own James Poyser.
264
Come on, bud.
265
Congratulations.
266
It's a pretty small world.
267
We got...
268
We got a lot of Philly love.
269
And, um, we had a lot of people...
270
We didn't shoot in Philly, which is.. which is interesting,
271
but I think it was good because we created a space for people from Philly to come up.
272
And we've got graffiti all over the show.
273
We've got local artists from the show that came in and did a bunch of roles.
274
And we just...
275
It's a...
276
It's a powerful show.
277
I wouldn't have done it.
278
I wouldn't have stayed away from my kids,
279
you know, five nights a week if it wasn't something that I think needed to be spoken about.
280
It's the opioid epidemic.
281
It's sex workers.
282
It's people who people are trying to remove at all costs,
283
and it's not fair.
284
And it's, like, this show of respect to this community.
285
So I'm excited for people to have an eye-opening kind of account You're always doing something cool,
286
but I want to show everyone a clip.
287
Here's Amanda Seyfried in Long Bright River.
288
Take a look at this.
289
Do you think somebody killed her?
290
Not sure.
291
No one in the right mind would inject themselves with that much insulin,
292
but right mind is the operative term here.
293
Unless the other bodies were injected, too.
294
Are you gonna do an autopsy?
295
Wasn't planning on it.
296
Both of them came in as accidental ODs.
297
You know something I don't?
298
Three bodies discovered in four days.
299
Similar demographics on the victims and one of them might have been murdered?
300
If there's a bad batch of something out there,
301
then these girls need to know what it is.
302
If there isn't, then they need to know to wash their backs.
303
And if I don't tell them...
304
Amanda Seyfried.
305
All episodes of Long Bright River premiere Thursday,

March 13th, exclusively on Peacock.

练习建议
在进行英语影子跟读时，建议您选择一小段对话进行练习。在观看Amanda Seyfried的演出时，确保您能够捕捉到她的语速和语调，这将有助于您在shadow speech中的表现。由于节奏较快，可以先暂停视频，重复一句话，确保理解其含义。同时，注意她如何使用情感和语气来表达不同的意思，这对于提高口语表达非常重要。
为了更有效地进行英语口语练习，您可以在收听或观看时，将视频的速度调整为稍慢，以便跟上她的说话节奏。通过这种方式，不仅可以提高您在对话中的反应速度，还可以增强您的听力理解能力。此外，尽量模仿其语调和表达方式，逐步培养自己的英语口语风格。

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
