1
We're in Stratford-upon-Avon, the home of Shakespeare.
2
We're going to be showing you around and teaching you some English along the way.
3
God, Laura!
4
Laura!
5
You said Laura!
6
Laura, push!
7
Push off against that!
8
Oh, Christ alive!
9
And we're also going to be teaching you some of the words and idioms that Shakespeare actually invented.
10
You'll notice that Shakespeare does a lot of heavy lifting in Stratford-upon-Avon.
11
He is the guy here.
12
Every shop has a picture of Shakespeare outside.
13
The pubs are called things like The Bard.
14
It is like Shakespeare Disneyland here really, which fair play, he was very influential.
15
And right over there is the Royal Shakespeare Company.
16
Let's go have a look.
17
So this is the RSC, which stands for the Royal Shakespeare Company, and it's the theatre where you can see a lot of Shakespeare plays,
18
and they do really interesting adaptations of them.
19
It's not just the standard adaptation.
20
I tried to steer the boat and I was absolutely awful.
21
Like, couldn't even, like...
22
My brain just doesn't work like that.
23
I have no spatial awareness.
24
I can't get my head around, go this direction.
25
I just can't do it.
26
I think when you had a go last time, we went in the bushes.
27
Do you remember that?
28
Yeah.
29
We should be fine.
30
There we go.
31
Can we just keep a straight course?
32
We're not.
33
We're going that way.
34
I'm on it.
35
I'm on it.
36
I'm on it.
37
Don't worry nice
38
laura oh my god i'm doing it now i'm doing it now just do you just
39
that way no we have to go back now right we've
40
been trying for about 10 minutes oh to get through this
41
bridge the guy from the boat places we're okay oh god
42
he's laughing right there you go there you go there you go there you There you go, there you go.
43
But we're going through the wrong one.
44
No, no, no, no. Oh, yeah, sorry.
45
This is all we could do.
46
We're going through the no entry one.
47
Oh, forget it.
48
Oh, forget it.
49
Oh, my God.
50
Oh, no, there's a goat.
51
Oh, no, no, they're coming with a boat, Laura.
52
They're coming with a boat.
53
We're OK.
54
We're OK.
55
Oh, God.
56
They're coming to help us through the bridge.
57
So we got through the bridge because that man pushed us.
58
Gave us a hand.
59
He gave us a hand.
60
and he basically just pushed us through the bridge.
61
It's really hard.
62
But he said the wind conditions are really hard.
63
He said the wind, he said it's very windy today so it's making it much more difficult.
64
So that's the excuse I'm going for.
65
Well, it's safe to say, I don't think we're very good at boating.
66
I don't think it's our bag.
67
I don't think it's our bag.
68
Do you know what I found difficult?
69
I found difficult to do like, I we were just going straight, I could do this.
70
That's absolutely fine.
71
But when we had to turn, I'd, like, focus on my right hand.
72
And then my left hand would just kind of...
73
The rudder would just be in the water.
74
You've always been a bit rubbish with your left side, haven't you, actually?
75
I have.
76
No, genuinely.
77
Genuinely.
78
This left hand.
79
OK, so we're by a statue of Hamlet.
80
So let's learn an idiom that Shakespeare created that you can hear in Hamlet.
81
My own flesh and blood.
82
If someone is your own flesh and blood, they are related to you.
83
So you might hear someone say, I can't betray my own flesh and blood.
84
I can't betray my family.
85
Here's another one from Hamlet.
86
In my heart of hearts.
87
And this idiom is a way of exaggerating how you truly feel.
88
In your heart of hearts.
89
I know in my heart of hearts I shouldn't do this, but I'm gonna do it anyway.
90
Why is he stood like that?
91
I can hear some geese over there, which reminds me of another Shakespeare idiom, a wild goose chase.
92
If you're on a wild goose chase, you are foolishly pursuing something that is hard to get.
93
The telltale sign that this is a Tudor building is these thick wooden beams here.
94
So now we're going to pay the Holy Trinity Church a visit because inside there is something very, very interesting.
95
So let's have a look.
96
I think this is William Shakespeare's will and it's almost illegible really
97
because because English is so different now and the writing was
98
so different you can barely make out what it's trying to say.
99
I think that's his signature there.
100
MUSIC Like, I was just there then, I was thinking, like, I'm less than 10 metres away from William Shakespeare right now.
101
Yeah, from the very hands that wrote the idioms that we're teaching people today, that people actually use.
102
He was, like, right there.
103
Yeah.
104
And, like, he lived, he really lived his life and was really buried there.
105
and then 500, 600, 700 years later, here we are.
106
You come with this camera and it's crazy.
107
And just like filming it and I'm stood right there.
108
And it really helps you to connect with history, I think.
109
Like Shakespeare, he's almost like a character now, isn't he?
110
In a strange way.
111
Yeah, like Santa Claus.
112
Yeah, just like, oh, yeah, Shakespeare.
113
Well, he's kind of omnipresent still in everyday life because we always reference him.
114
There's always some kind of word that we say that he invented.
115
He's just always around.
116
It's not like someone who lived in the past and died, whatever.
117
It is like Santa Claus.
118
It's kind of like...
119
You know when people say, like, you die twice.
120
You die when the day you stop living and the day that somebody says your name for the last time.
121
Shakespeare will never die, will he?
122
No. These flowers are beautiful, but they might attract some bees.
123
Speaking of bees, here's a good idiom that Shakespeare invented.
124
The be-all and end-all.
125
The be-all and end-all is the most important or crucial part of something.
126
It is the all-important goal.
127
When Bez's football team loses, I have to remind him that football is not the be-all and end-all.
128
These houses were built in the 1500s.
129
That is mental.
130
So we just walked past the site of Shakespeare's family home, so where he lived with his family.
131
And I asked the man, I said, how much are tickets?
132
And he said, £27.
133
And I said, each?
134
And he said, yeah.
135
So that's a little bit pricey, I feel.
136
27 each, because if that's two of you, that's nearly 60 pounds to go inside the building.
137
But if that's important to you, go for it.
138
But I believe you can still see the outside of Shakespeare's birthplace without having to pay.
139
So you can still see where he was born for free.
140
But yeah, 27 I thought was quite a lot.
141
I'm flagging a little bit.
142
I'm flagging so I could do with a matcha.
143
If you've watched my videos before i always grab a matcha
144
and i can see a starbucks right across the road don't
145
get hit by a car let's get a match i'm feeling quite tired today
146
so here's a good idiom
147
that shakespeare invented to not sleep a wink oh i haven't
148
slept a wink i didn't sleep a wink it just means you didn't I can't sleep at all.
149
Behind us is William Shakespeare's birthplace.
150
Like I said, you don't need to pay to look at it because it's just on the high street.
151
Yeah, which is very strange.
152
It's just kind of here opposite a Christmas shop, weirdly.
153
Well, I think in lots of towns in the UK, the town is built around the church, but I feel like this street has maybe become really Yeah, prominent.
154
Popular and prominent because of the birthplace being here.
155
But you don't need to pay to look at it.
156
You can just look at it, but you do need to pay to go in.
157
So because I'm in front of Shakespeare's house, it's only right that we learn another idiom that Shakespeare created.
158
Eaten out of house and home.
159
If you say, oh, he will eat me out of house and home, it means he's going to eat all my food.
160
So he's going to come to my house, eat everything I have, and I will have to spend lots of money because he's eating all my food.
161
I'm considering having a burger for my dinner, but all of the burgers have pickles in them.
162
Shakespeare made that, didn't he?
163
Yeah, he did, yeah.
164
If you're in a pickle, it means that you're in a difficult situation.
165
Imagine, like, you need a taxi to get home, but you haven't got any money.
166
You're in a pickle.
167
Ooh, thinking about ice cream has reminded me of another idiom that Shakespeare created.
168
To break the ice.
169
It means to dissolve a tense situation.
170
Maybe you've met someone new, and you're a little bit awkward together, you don't know what to talk about, but then you make a joke,
171
or you say something that relieves the tension.
172
It breaks the ice, you feel comfortable around each other.
173
I want an ice cream.
174
That is what I'm talking about!
175
We're both not very good with dairy, so we have to have vegan ice cream.
176
And there was a shop that had vegan ice cream, Which is very nice.
177
And I've got Biscoff sauce on it.
178
And I've got raspberry sauce.
179
That's the thing about Britain.
180
It only needs to be about 10 degrees.
181
And if the sun is out, people will be eating ice cream.
182
Bez can't bite ice cream because he's got sensitive teeth, but I can.
183
Is there anything I can do?
184
If I bite?
185
No, don't put yourself through that.
186
Don't.

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。
