1
So what do you think?
2
I love it.
3
I think it'll look amazing on you.
4
All right, I think I'll take it.
5
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Silver.
6
You don't have anything in gold?
7
I do, but not with the butterfly.
8
You know what?
9
I did just get in a stunning heart-shaped pendant in gold.
10
Would you guys like to see that?
11
Great, we'll take a look.
12
Great, I'll be right back.
13
I really like that one, Travis.
14
Really, Miranda?
15
I can't have my wife wearing silver.
16
Come on.
17
There you guys go.
18
It's beautiful.
19
Very simple.
20
A little more expensive.
21
It's $1,800 plus tax.
22
But I think it'll make a lovely Valentine gift for your beautiful wife.
23
Great.
24
We'll take it.
25
Great.
26
I know what you're gonna say, and it's fine.
27
Price doesn't matter to me.
28
It's a beautiful piece.
29
Yeah.
30
I mean, take that one.
31
I'm not sure.
32
I'm not sure.
33
David.
34
No way.
35
Oh, what?
36
Oh, my God.
37
Hey.
38
It's been a long time, huh?
39
Yay.
40
How are you?
41
Great.
42
I'm great.
43
Oh, I got married last year.
44
Oh, wow.
45
That's a big room.
46
Yeah, it's pretty big.
47
Yeah, that's right.
48
Because that's what you get when you marry a CEO.
49
This is my husband Travis.
50
And this is David.
51
We dated in high school.
52
Dated?
53
Is that right?
54
Yeah.
55
It was a long time ago.
56
Yeah.
57
Yeah, I'm sure it is.
58
Because she won't be dating someone who works at a mall now, right?
59
Travis, what?
60
I'm just saying.
61
No, sorry.
62
Sorry, I didn't mean to intrude.
63
It was great meeting you, Travis, and you take care of Miranda.
64
Actually, you know what?
65
Happy early birthday.
66
What?
67
You remember after all those years? Of course.
68
I mean, how could I forget?
69
Pisces, right?
70
Uh, nah.
71
She's an Aquarius, not a Pisces.
72
Oh, no. David's right.
73
I'm on the cusp.
74
If I were born 12 hours earlier, then I would be an Aquarius.
75
Ah, that's right.
76
That's right.
77
So, excuse me.
78
What do you guys think?
79
We'll take it.
80
No. I don't want it.
81
You know what?
82
I have some other pieces in the back.
83
Let me go get them, and maybe we can find something you guys like.
84
Be right back.
85
Do you have to be so ungrateful?
86
I'm about to drop two grand on you.
87
And that's probably way more than your rent-a-cop ex-boyfriend makes her in a month.
88
Now stop putting him down.
89
He is a nice guy.
90
And don't forget, you were barely making minimum wage when I first met you.
91
Yeah, but I didn't stay there, did I?
92
She'd feel real lucky you were someone who could afford to buy such nice things.
93
own these girls.
94
They barely even get cheap flowers for Valentine's Day, let alone a crappy card.
95
I didn't ask for a necklace.
96
You wanted to come here.
97
I would have been perfectly happy with the card.
98
Because it's not about how much money you spend.
99
It's how much love you put into it.
100
Ha ha ha ha.
101
That was a good one.
102
You almost had me convinced her for a minute.
103
Oh, I gotta take this.
104
Hey.
105
You know John Legend's back on his concert tour?
106
I don't know if you remember, but that was our first date.
107
First date?
108
Of course I remember.
109
We went to see him live in Oakland.
110
Yeah.
111
Oh, man.
112
Even though we had those nose fleece seats, it was...
113
Oh, I'm sorry.
114
Sorry.
115
That's all I could afford at the time.
116
I wish I could buy us better tickets.
117
What are you talking about?
118
It was perfect!
119
We could see the whole theater!
120
And it was like, he had so much spirit.
121
I felt like I was just sitting right next to him on the piano bench, listening to him play.
122
Even though we weren't so far.
123
And all my girlfriends, they wanted to see Chris Brown because he was playing that night, right?
124
But I've always been a John Legend girl.
125
Oh, I know.
126
You don't gotta tell me twice.
127
You do.
128
You would sing it every morning, before school, in the car.
129
Ah, na-na-na-na-na.
130
You remember?
131
Yeah.
132
Oh, you would drive your brothers crazy about it.
133
I know.
134
Yeah.
135
Anyway, you know he's playing at the Hollywood Bowl.
136
Maybe you can get Travis to take you.
137
Yeah.
138
Yeah, we'll see.
139
Yeah.
140
I'm sorry, babe, but it's work, and he really need me to come in today.
141
It's Valentine's Day.
142
No, no, I already planned a whole dinner for us.
143
I know, I know, and I'll try to get through as soon as I can.
144
Seven o'clock, 7.30 at the very latest.
145
Tell you what, why don't you take the Mercedes?
146
You can drive and I'll Uber back.
147
And you can use my credit card.
148
You can buy whatever you want here, okay?
149
Please, don't be late.
150
Here you go, folks.
151
Hey, babe, what about the gift?
152
Travis is going to be so happy when he sees all of us.
153
Travis is going to be so happy when he sees all of this.
154
By the way, I got you a little something.
155
Genevieve, you shouldn't have. Are they?
156
Oh, don't worry.
157
They're all milk chocolate, no dark.
158
And some of them even have caramel in them.
159
Your favorite.
160
Thank you.
161
None of them have coconut in them.
162
I know you're allergic, so I made sure.
163
You're the best.
164
Really?
165
You are.
166
And I can't wait to have these for dinner.
167
Could you put these in the kitchen for me?
168
Sure.
169
Okay.
170
Thank you.
171
Finally.
172
Hey, I got a delivery for Travis Jackson.
173
Happy Valentine's Day.
174
Happy Valentine's Day.
175
Genevieve, thanks again for the chocolates. Of course. Have a good night.
176
Sweetheart, I'm home.
177
Honey, did you not hear me?
178
Do you even know what time it is?
179
I know, but you know how work goes.
180
There's a reason why we can afford to live like this, right?
181
And you couldn't text or even call.
182
I spent so much time getting everything right.
183
I spent so much time getting everything ready, and you didn't even show up.
184
Look, I know you're upset, but I got you some gifts.
185
Check this out.
186
Girindelli chocolate, the most expensive.
187
It's just I know that you love sweets.
188
It's dark chocolate, and it even has coconut in it.
189
I can't eat this.
190
I specifically told my assistant, Kristen, not to...
191
You know what?
192
Let's just forget about the chocolate.
193
I got you something else as well.
194
Check it out.
195
Now, I know you said you didn't want it because of the price, but I got you the Go Heart necklace.
196
It's beautiful, alright?
197
Yeah.
198
Thanks.
199
And I saved the best for last.
200
You wrote me a card.
201
You can't rip me a card in years.
202
That's really sweet.
203
No, it's not that.
204
It's something even better.
205
Now, I know that you love music, and when I found out that this person was in concert, I had to get this for you.
206
You didn't.
207
You got me the tickets to...
208
The Chris Brown concert.
209
Front row.
210
Aren't you excited?
211
What's wrong now?
212
You know, sometimes I...
213
I don't think you even pay attention to me at all.
214
Wait.
215
What are you talking about?
216
You have any idea how much I spent on all these gifts?
217
The tickets alone were a few grand, and you're not even grateful.
218
Grateful?
219
Grateful.
220
You know, I would have been grateful had you showed up to dinner on time.
221
Or if you had taken five seconds to actually pay attention to what I really like, instead of you just guessing.
222
What's that?
223
What?
224
Is that lipstick on your shirt?
225
This?
226
Well, must have got it from you or something.
227
I don't wear that color, Travis.
228
Well, I must have ran into somebody.
229
Are you seriously accusing me of something right now?
230
You know what?
231
I don't have time for this.
232
I spent so much time just getting you all these gifts, and you're not even grateful.
233
You know what?
234
I'm about to go take a shower, okay?
235
Your phone's ringing.
236
Travis?
237
Hey, have you seen my...
238
How is the office texting you?
239
Why are you snooping in my phone?
240
Don't try to turn this around on me, Travis.
241
Tell me what's going on.
242
Nothing.
243
Just back off.
244
The office texts you, thanks for spending V-Day with me, with a little kissy mark.
245
And you left your watch.
246
Tell me.
247
Tell me what's going on now.
248
It's nothing, all right?
249
Probably got the wrong number or something.
250
I don't know how this could... Where are you going?
251
Just leave it.
252
Oh, hi.
253
It's Travis here.
254
He left this at my place.
255
What are you doing here?
256
I told you not to show up unannounced.
257
I mean, I tried calling.
258
that you told her about us.
259
Told me what?
260
Well, remember the assistant that I told you that I hired?
261
She's more than an assistant.
262
So while I was here making you a special dinner, you were cheating on me.
263
Oh, come on, Miranda.
264
Are you really surprised all successful men cheat?
265
No, that's not true.
266
And you wouldn't even be successful if it weren't for me.
267
I was the one that was working double shifts
268
while you were bringing in no income just so you can focus on starting your business.
269
You wanted to give up so many times and I didn't let you.
270
And I helped you through the tough times.
271
I taught you how to save money and I just loved you so much.
272
This is how you repay me.
273
It is what it is.
274
You don't have to work anymore.
275
You can live this pampered life that I gave- I don't care about any of that.
276
Never.
277
I never cared about any of that.
278
I would go back to waiting tables at a diner again and have my husband.
279
If it meant that we didn't live like this anymore again.
280
Sorry.
281
Miranda, where are you going?
282
I'm done.
283
Happy Valentine's Day.
284
And I hope you find what it is you're looking for.
285
Miranda, don't leave.
286
Well, at least take the gold necklace and the Chris Brown tickets I got you.
287
Ooh.
288
Is it a gold necklace?
289
Yeah.
290
You know, I love Chris Brown.
291
Especially if they're good seats.
292
After Miranda leaves,
293
it doesn't take Travis long to adjust to his new life without her.
294
Not surprisingly, Kristen loves her new life of luxury.
295
He has no problem taking full advantage of all the finer things Travis has to offer.
296
And in the beginning, everything seems great.
297
But Travis quickly notices that Kristen isn't like Miranda.
298
While Miranda was always trying to save money, Kristen was always spending it.
299
Before long, Kristen's lifestyle gets more and more expensive.
300
Even Travis has a hard time keeping up with her.
301
The biggest surprise of all is when Travis is having dinner with Kristen, he finds out that she's seeing someone else.
302
Travis can't believe it.
303
A whole year goes by, and then on next Valentine's Day, he bumps into the person he'd least suspect.
304
Wait, aren't you that security guy?
305
What's your name again?
306
Hey, Travis, it's David.
307
Yeah, I see you doing quite well for yourself.
308
Yeah, thanks.
309
How have you been?
310
I mean, if I'm being honest, I've been better.
311
You know, me and Miranda.
312
Hey.
313
I know you're still working, but I just couldn't wait to see you.
314
Wait, wait a minute.
315
You two are dating?
316
Well, I can see now that he has money.
317
What is that supposed to mean?
318
I mean, look at him.
319
He has a nice suit, drives a Porsche, and I can see why he wants to...
320
Keep the change.
321
Thank you.
322
You're right.
323
Thank you. Have a nice day.
324
You too.
325
Thank you.
326
Wait a minute.
327
You're a valet?
328
Talk about a downgrade.
329
You know, Travis, the whole world doesn't revolve around money.
330
And I'd rather be with a Valen than be with a self-absorbed,
331
misogynistic, lying, cheating, pig-headed CEO any day of the week.
332
Hmm.
333
Yeah, well, I guess he's the type of guy to get you a car for a long time's day, too.
334
Actually, uh, I did get you a car, but I hope that's okay.
335
Along with a few other things.
336
I might as well just get him for you right now.
337
Why are you still here?
338
Don't you have something better to do?
339
Yeah, I need to get my car valet, so I need your little boyfriend to do that for me.
340
Oh, this should be nice.
341
Look, I figured I'd start with...
342
Milk chocolates.
343
And they have caramel in them.
344
Thank you so much.
345
Yeah, I'm sorry they're not Ghirardellis, but you would get these before high school every day.
346
You would not let me have one of them.
347
And don't think that's gonna change now.
348
And since he's in town.
349
John Legend?
350
Oh my God.
351
You know how long I've been waiting to see him alive?
352
Thank you so much.
353
Let me see these.
354
Section 305?
355
These are horrible.
356
It doesn't matter.
357
This is so thoughtful.
358
Thank you. Of course.
359
And one last thing.
360
Gosh.
361
Yeah, I know you love butterflies.
362
Silver?
363
I know it's not gold or has diamonds, so...
364
It's perfect.
365
This is the best Valentine's Day ever.
366
Come on, Miranda.
367
You cannot be serious.
368
Cheap chocolates, nosebleed section, and a silver necklace?
369
Now, don't act like you like those things.
370
I couldn't ask for better gifts.
371
Because it's like what I've always told you, Travis.
372
It's not how much money you spend But how much love You put into it.
373
Yeah, whatever.
374
That's not true.
375
I'm sure all these girls you can ask in the same question.
376
Oh Hey, honey, I see you got the flowers I sent you.
377
You love them?
378
No, I told you I don't like roses I like lilies way to pay attention.
379
I'm so sorry.
380
I think you got your last girlfriend jewelry And you just get me flowers I got the way in here!
381
Wait, where you go?
382
Hey brother, can you go ahead and valet this for me?
383
Yeah, cool, I appreciate it.
384
Oh, you drive a Honda?
385
What happened to the BMW?
386
Yeah, um, it's a long story.
387
Vanessa, wait, where you going?
388
you
本课简介
在本课中，学习者将通过观看Dhar Mann的视频，练习英语口语。视频中描绘了一位丈夫在情人节的选择，以及与他妻子和朋友的对话。通过这个场景，学习者不仅能提高自己的英语听力能力，还能学习到关于人际关系和购物对话中的常用词汇和短语。这一练习特别适合希望提高口语流利度和理解能力的学习者。
重点词汇与短语
- pendant（吊坠）
- Valentine's Day（情人节）
- beautiful（美丽的）
- watch out（小心）
- expensive（昂贵的）
- stunning（令人惊艳的）
- heart-shaped（心形的）

练习建议
为了最佳效果，学习者可以采用“英语影子跟读”的技巧来提高口语技能。首先，找一个安静的空间，打开视频，设置到适合的音量。接着，学习者可以在视频播放时尝试跟读发音。结合 shadowspeak 的练习，让自己跟随视频中的说话者进行模仿，尤其注意其语速和语调。
在听的时候，注意说话者的重音和停顿，这对于理解对话的自然流畅性非常重要。由于视频节奏适中，学习者可以根据自己的跟读水平随时暂停和回放，帮助自己逐渐适应这个对话的特点。
在练习的过程中，请保持积极的心态和耐心，这样能更有效地提升自己的口语能力。定期使用这些技巧，你会发现你的英语口语更加流利，同时也能掌握更多实用的词汇和短语！
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。
