Fixies Shhh!
2
Money!
3
Hello?
4
Uh-huh?
5
Fire!
6
Can you help me, please?
7
Sorry, Farida.
8
I need to go to, uh, the warehouse right away.
9
But I helped you yesterday, didn't I?
10
Well, I helped you the day before that.
11
Yeah, well, what about last week?
12
I helped you three times, remember?
13
Well, I...
14
Last week, I helped you three times, remember?
15
Why?
16
You helped one another when it was time to.
17
I don't see why you have to count.
18
Course not, Dula.
19
You asked for the most help from all of us.
20
I do not, Verda.
21
Look how Elisa helps Professor Eugenius.
22
And she doesn't argue with him.
23
Of course not.
24
She's in love with the Professor.
25
Actually, it's her job.
26
And for helping the Professor, she gets money.
27
Hmm, money.
28
That's a smart idea.
29
Money constantly moves from one hand to another.
30
A person does his job at work, and in exchange he gets money for it.
31
He can use the money to buy things he wants, like clothing or food.
32
Or he can pay somebody else for the hour.
33
Like getting a ride from a taxi driver, a haircut from a hairdresser, or a computer repaired by a technician.
34
All people take part in this circulation of money.
35
But unlike people, Fixies don't use any money.
36
We do just fine without it.
37
From now on, we'll do it like people do it.
38
If you work for somebody, they give you money for it.
39
And if you need some help, then you pay.
40
And that'll stop the arguing.
41
And all the false accusations.
42
And those are for Simka and Dolph.
43
Now it's all fair.
44
What is this?
45
Money.
46
What are we supposed to do with it?
47
You don't know?
48
You pay for someone to help you.
49
I don't like this new idea at all. At all.
50
Maybe we should give them our money so they'll stop arguing.
51
I've got a cooler idea.
52
Hey!
53
Who needs money around here?
54
Cause we've got it!
55
Now there's enough for everybody! Where are you?
56
We're in here!
57
This is all your fault, Fire!
58
And your fault!
59
No, it's the money!
60
That's whose fault it is!
61
He's right!
62
That's why we were fighting!
63
And we didn't even fix the printer!
64
Money is nothing more than just paper.
65
Although money is printed in strict secrecy, we still know something about the process.
66
The paper used for money is made out of cotton and linen.
67
It's stronger than normal paper made out of wood, which means it doesn't rip as easily, even if you fold it thousands of times.
68
The ink used for printing money is special too.
69
It won't rub off the paper or fade in the sun.
70
And that's not all.
71
The ink has secret additives that can only be seen if you look at the money under a special light.
72
This helps protect people from fake money.
73
It is for the same reason that watermarks, metal strings, and teeny tiny writing is also used on money.
74
This writing is very hard to read unless you happen to be a fixie.
75
I hope I didn't say more than I should have.
76
Well, all done.
77
It's time for a test.
78
But what are we going to print?
79
A word with real value.
80
Yeah, something really precious.
81
No, it's not money.
82
Right, it's so much better.
83
Friendship!
84
Teeesh!
85
92, 93, 94, 95, 96,
86
97, 98, 99, 100, and 101, 102, 103, 104, and 100 and...
87
Nolik!
88
Hey, come on!
89
Tom Thomas promised to give me a ride outside on his bicycle.
90
I gotta get going.
91
Lucky you.
92
I'd love to ride on a bike.
93
Yeah, it would be a lot of fun.
94
You're not allowed to go.
95
Why can't we?
96
Tom Thomas isn't your friend, alright?
97
He only invited me.
98
If you want to take a ride on a bicycle, then go find your own human friend who invites you.
99
Well, Tom Thomas, you ready to go?
100
We can't.
101
There's no way we can ride this.
102
The tire's got a hole.
103
I try to fill it, but the air comes out.
104
Well, then what should we do?
105
I thought you'd know what.
106
You're the fixie here.
107
We, I mean, I didn't study it yet.
108
Hang on!
109
Pula, Gidget, wait a sec.
110
We found a hole in one of the tires of the bicycle.
111
Hmm, you mean the one that only gives rides to friends?
112
Don't be like that.
113
Please help me out.
114
I thought Tom Thomas was only a friend of yours.
115
Uh, why don't you go and ask him yourself?
116
It could be your friend too.
117
For thousands of years, wheels have been helping people all over the world.
118
The wheel's ancestor is a lock.
119
People would put logs under heavy loads to move them.
120
Then people came up with the idea of slicing the log and connecting the slices with an axle.
121
And there it was, the wheel!
122
Wheels made life more convenient.
123
Later came wheels with spokes, metal rims, and rubber tires.
124
Soon people were wheeling around the world in and on all sorts of vehicles.
125
Potters, mills, clocks, there are just so many different uses for a wheel.
126
And with the steam train, steamboat, and cars, wheels spread all over the world.
127
They even reach the planet Mars.
128
The wheel really is one of the simplest and yet most amazing of all human inventions.
129
Whew, it's off.
130
So what's next?
131
Now you take out the inner tube.
132
You mean this rubber thing?
133
Yeah, that's your inner tube.
134
There's a hole there somewhere.
135
Pump it up, Tom Thomas.
136
Then we can see where the air's coming out.
137
That's not a good way to find the hole, Nolik.
138
Why isn't it good?
139
Cause the hole might be really tiny.
140
Then how do you find it?
141
To find it, we need water.
142
How come?
143
Yeah, how come?
144
Now I get why we need water.
145
There!
146
See those tiny bubbles?
147
Yeah, do you see them?
148
That's the air from inside of the tube.
149
That means the hole is right there.
150
Nolik, you're a genius.
151
Hurray!
152
Here's the hole I found.
153
Look!
154
Will you let me put on the glue?
155
In my pocket mat, I have just the right kind for this.
156
The hole is right here.
157
Right where I found it.
158
But first, we have to make sure that the rubber is dry.
159
Looks like it's dry.
160
Then let's put the glue on.
161
It's all fixed.
162
Tideesh!
163
All right, it's ready to go.
164
Hooray!
165
Digitoola, you coming with us?
166
I don't know.
167
We weren't invited.
168
I'm sure he'll invite you.
169
Right, Tom Thomas?
170
Of course I will.
171
We're friends, aren't we?
172
Let's get going!
173
See the wheels spinning round
174
Through the cities and towns It is rolling
175
Spinning wheel Spinning round Spinning wheel It just keeps on going See the wheel spinning round Through the valleys
176
and hills It is zooming Spinning wheel Spinning round Spinning wheel It just keeps on moving See the wheel spinning round
177
On the road to the dreams we are chasing Spinning wheel,
178
spinning round Spinning wheel, it just keeps on racing La-la-la-la-la-la!
179
La-la-la-la!
180
La-la-la-la-la-la-la!
181
Adesa, do you want a cracker?
182
Wow, Tom Thomas!
183
Who is that?
184
Simka, Nolik, this is Adesa.
185
My dad brought him from Africa.
186
I can't believe it!
187
You've got a real parrot!
188
Can he talk?
189
My dad said that he can.
190
But I haven't heard him yet.
191
Well, let's see if he can.
192
Okay, say, Adisa's a good bird.
193
No, he should learn my name.
194
That would be awesome.
195
Adisa say, Nolik.
196
That's my name.
197
He doesn't want to talk about you, Nolik.
198
Hmm, maybe he doesn't know how to speak human language.
199
Check it out!
200
It looks like he knows how to speak dog.
201
No, Nolik.
202
He doesn't know any languages at all.
203
Then how can he talk?
204
Parrots can repeat many of the different sounds that they hear.
205
For instance, a dog's bark or the ring of the phone.
206
Parrots can also mimic words or even hold sentences of human speech.
207
But parrots don't understand the meaning of the words they are saying.
208
They just repeat them like a music player.
209
Hey!
210
Hello!
211
Hey!
212
Hello!
213
That's why you won't be able to have a real conversation with a parrot, even if it's the kind of parrot that can talk.
214
Alright, then let's have him repeat something.
215
Hey, Adisa!
216
Tideesh!
217
It's the Fixies' special signs!
218
Say it!
219
Fixies have a special sign.
220
Tideesh!
221
My dad is back!
222
Let's hide, quickly!
223
Hi there!
224
Well, how's it going?
225
You two talking to each other yet?
226
I can't get him to say anything at all.
227
You can't?
228
Hmm.
229
Adisa, how are you?
230
Adisa's a good parrot!
231
He wouldn't say anything before!
232
Eh, he's used to talking around me.
233
Adisa's a good parrot.
234
Nolik, that's my name!
235
Hmm whose name is Nolik?
236
Uh, no he was saying he's got no luck in this game.
237
What kind of game?
238
Let's hide!
239
Quickly!
240
Hide!
241
Uh, we were playing hide and seek.
242
With the parrot?
243
Uh huh.
244
Whew!
245
Fixies have a special sign!
246
Oh!
247
Oh!
248
Fixies have a special sign!
249
What?
250
Fixies?
251
A special sign?
252
Uh, no. It was physics.
253
It's a special science.
254
That's what we're studying about right now at school.
255
You know, how special physics is.
256
Wow, that's impressive.
257
Um, well, keep up the good work, son.
258
Whew.
259
The ability to repeat what humans say is not something unique to only parrots.
260
Crows, starlings, and other animals can do it too.
261
And besides animals, there are also machines that can repeat human speech.
262
For instance, when you call somewhere and hear, leave your message after the tone.
263
What you're hearing is a voicemail machine using a recorded voice to answer the call.
264
Another example is the voice on trains and buses that is used to announce the stops.
265
Those voices are usually recordings that are repeated over and over.
266
Today, there are also artificial voices on computers, tablets, and smartphones that can read text and say it out loud.
267
But even if a machine knows what you are saying, it can't know why you are saying it.
268
Only people can figure that out.
269
And Fixies, of course.
270
Huh?
271
Tom Thomas, you're a hero!
272
You really wiggled your way out of that one!
273
And Adisa, bear parrot, he almost gave up our secret!
274
Be careful with that parrot!
275
I get it.
276
Adisa, listen you, forget everything we said.
277
And don't ever say no words, okay?
278
Yeah, nothing about the Fixies at all!
279
Yeah, so if you meet a Fixie, please, don't let their secret out.
280
Got it?
281
Oh, he's nodding.
282
Looks like he understands.
283
Let's get out of here so he'll forget about us as soon as possible.
284
Shhh!
285
So if you meet a Fixie, please, don't let their secret...
286
Ow!
287
Taddeesh, taddeesh, taddeesh!

练习建议
在观看视频时，学习者可以尝试shadowing（跟读）。这个视频的语速适中，适合进行模仿练习。可以先播放视频的一小段片段，暂停来复述其中的对话。注意模仿说话者的语气、语调及情感表达。在练习的过程中，同时关注提高英语发音，尽量模仿原声中的发音和语调。
为了强化记忆，可以将所学的词汇与自己的生活联想起来，尝试使用它们造句或进行简单的对话。通过这种方式，不仅能扩展词汇量，还能在实际交流中变得更加流利。通过看YouTube学英语，结合这种模仿练习，能有效提升雅思口语水平，让您在真实对话中更加自信和从容。
记得在练习时保持积极的心态，逐渐提高难度，从简到难地进行，最终您会发现自己的英语表达能力有了明显的提升，尤其是在与金钱或生活交易相关的话题上，能够游刃有余地进行交流。
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。
