16
and cook in basically Just wonder when will my life begin?
17
Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking Paper mache,
18
a bin of ballet and chess Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making Then I'll stretch,
19
maybe sketch, take a climb, so a dress And I'll be read the books, if I have time to spare I'll paint the walls some more,
20
I'm sure there's room somewhere And then I'll brush and brush
21
and brush and brush my hair Stuck in the same place I've always been
22
And I'll keep wandering and wandering and wandering and wandering Where's where my life begins?
23
7am the usual morning line-up Line-up is a synonym for agenda or schedule.
24
When she says the usual morning line-up, she is referring to her usual routine, the sequence of activities she's programmed to do in the morning.
25
This word can also be used to describe television or a concert program in schedule, like Fox's morning lineup includes lots of news programs,
26
or Billie Eilish will be in Lollapalooza's lineup this year.
27
Yeah well just some old footage.
28
Chores are routine tasks mostly related to housework like cooking or taking the garbage out.
29
Rapunzel mentions a few of them that you're probably familiar with.
30
However did you know that some of these verbs can have a completely different meaning when used to form different idioms.
31
The literal meaning of sweep is to clean the floor using a brush.
32
Now if you say
33
that someone swept something under the rug it means they hid something unpleasant to keep it as a secret.
34
Both wives from the White House?
35
That's a meeting they they couldn't sweep under the rug.
36
The fact that the chairman sent anyone is promising, but we need to make sure our message gets back to him.
37
Another idiom with this verb is to sweep someone off their feet, which means to make someone fall completely in love with you or to shock them in a positive way emotionally.
38
Hey, wait, what are you doing?
39
You know, you should sweep me off my feet out yonder window and down a rope onto your valiant steed.
40
You've had a lot of time to plan this, haven't you?
41
Polish is to clean using a piece of cloth until it's shining.
42
Now, if you say that someone polishes the apple or is an apple polisher, it means excessively and insincerely praising someone hoping to get a favor.
43
For example, John is always polishing the apple with the boss but everybody knows he's hoping for a promotion.
44
This idiom makes reference to the image of small children bringing their teacher an apple to make a good impression.
45
What are you doing?
46
Huh?
47
I'm just polishing the silver.
48
But that is my job.
49
Yes.
50
But I'm so good at it.
51
The trick is to rub it until you can see your reflection.
52
You see?
53
Yeah.
54
That's my pretty face.
55
These are Felicia's class.
56
It's Mrs. Hoover's birthday.
57
You know, they're names for people like you.
58
No, they're, um...
59
Teacher's pet.
60
Apple polisher.
61
Butt kisser.
62
Wax is the yellow plastic substance produced by bees.
63
It's also the substance made of fat or oil used to make candles or to make things shiny.
64
When you use it to polish, it can be used as a verb like I clean and wax the floor once a week.
65
Now take a look at this sentence.
66
I swear this is the whole ball of wax.
67
I have nothing else to tell you.
68
What do you think it means?
69
That's it.
70
The whole ball of wax is a common American idiom that means the whole thing, everything.
71
Oh, I might as well pick one of these up while I'm at it.
72
For the white.
73
He's gotta have them.
74
Anything else, Truman?
75
That's the whole ball of wax.
76
See you later.
77
Do the laundry is to wash the dirty clothes.
78
However, you may hear the expression wash their dirty laundry in public.
79
Dirty laundry refers to a person's secrets.
80
She's smiling.
81
Is she happy?
82
The important thing is not to tell anyone.
83
She looks happy.
84
So what does it matter?
85
Don't wash your dirty laundry in public.
86
A mop is a long stick with strings at one end.
87
It can be used as a verb to describe the cleaning done using this piece of equipment.
88
Now what if you mop the floor with someone?
89
What does it mean?
90
Do you think it's something like this?
91
Hello Charlie.
92
Judith, how's it going?
93
Hey Uncle Charlie, show mom how I mop the floor with my hair.
94
Well it's not really mopping, it's more like dusting.
95
As funny as this would be, to mop the floor with someone is a very informal American
96
way of saying you completely defeat someone in a game or competition.
97
Brits would
98
say wipe the floor with someone instead.
99
New paintings to my gallery I'll play guitar and dance and cook and basically Just wonder when will my life begin?
100
Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking Paper mache,
101
a bin of ballet and chess Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making Then I'll stretch,
102
maybe sketch, take a climb In this part,
103
Rapunzel mentions a few very common free time activities like reading a book, painting, playing the guitar, knitting and cooking.
104
By the way, do you know the difference between cooking and baking?
105
Cooking is a more general term for preparing food.
106
Baking is a specific term for cooking with an oven.
107
What about the other activities?
108
Can you identify them?
109
I'm
110
going to
111
go ahead and put it in the middle of the room.
112
Now when talking about the activities you prefer doing you can refer to them like this
113
I'm keen on reading books but I'm not very fond of cooking.
114
Repeat after me.
115
I'm keen on reading books but I'm not very fond of cooking.
116
There are three parts in this sentence where I connect the words.
117
Can you identify them?
118
First, instead of saying keen on, I say keen on.
119
This means that I like something.
120
For example, I'm keen on horror movies or I'm keen on maths.
121
The second link is in but I.
122
You can hear but I.
123
Americans would probably change the sound and pronounce it but I.
124
The last part is FOND OF.
125
The D connects with the O.
126
FOND OF.
127
And you can barely hear the preposition OF.
128
If you are not fond of something, it means you don't like it.
129
For example, I'm not fond of cooking.
130
Now let's practice it.
131
I'm keen on reading books, but I'm not very fond of cooking.
132
I want you to say these sentences to practice your speaking.
133
Try to finish one sentence before the next one shows up.
134
How did it go?
135

139
I highly recommend it.
140
In the same place I've always been And I'll keep wandering and wandering and wandering and wandering Where's where my life begins?
141
Having time to spare means that you have some extra free time because you finished your tasks earlier than expected.
142
I'll be read the books if I have time to spare I'll chase them anywhere there's time to spare
143
Let me share this whole new world with you.
144
If I say this table takes up too much room, what is another word for room in this context?
145
That's right, room is a physical space used for something.
146
It can also be used with a different meaning when we want to express the possibility of something to happen or exist.
147
For example, this is a war, there's no room for doubt.
148
And I suppose your little Indian friend told you this?
149
Yes.
150
Lies!
151
Lies!
152
All of it!
153
Murderous thieves, there's no room for their kind and civilised society.
154
If you're not familiar with her story, Rapunzel is a princess who was kidnapped by a witch
155
when she was a baby baby and has lived her entire life captive in a tower.
156
Wonder here is connected to Rapunzel's curiosity of knowing how the world outside the routine tower works.
157
She keeps imagining how different life outside the tower is.
158
Only landmarks all I've lost in the woods Wondering if you still care
159
I can't believe that it's been 10 years.
160
Can you believe it's been 10 years, Zach?
161
In some ways, yeah.
162
The greys have really started to become more pronounced.
163
But no, it actually, in some ways it feels like even longer ago, and in some ways it actually feels like the blink of an eye.
164
And I think it's just because the movie's so evergreen, and I have so many friends and family, I'm sure you do too, that watch it and re-watch it, and I get reminded of it,
165
and just how grateful I am that we got to do it together.
166
It was such an immense pleasure and joy, and really, like Zach has said many a time,
167
a bucket list, like, opportunity and experience, and one that I will never forget.
168
So just, yes, just endless gratitude for all of the support that people have shown the film over the years.
169
Yes, ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto.
170
All of the above.
171
Thank you for believing in the film then, for continuing to believe in it now, for sharing it, for being enthusiastic about it.
172
We're so grateful for all of your love and support over the years, too.
173
We hope you enjoy it for years to come and thank you, thank you, thank you for all your love and support.
174
I can't believe that it's been 10 years.
175
Can you believe it's been 10 years, Zach?
176
Uh, in some ways, yeah, the greys have really started to become more pronounced.
177
If something is more pronounced, it means that it's more evident and you can notice it more easily.
178
Zack jokes about being able to notice that 10 years have passed because now his grey hairs, which are a sign of aging, are more evident.
179
My first grey hair?
180
Oh Marge, don't worry.
181
A lot of movie stars have grey hair, like all those women we loved in the 80s.
182
But no, it actually, in some ways it feels like even longer ago
183
and in some ways it actually feels like the blink of an eye.
184
Zach previously mentioned that he saw the 10 years passing by
185
because of his newly acquired grey hair but here he mentions that it felt like the blink of an eye.
186
To say something feels or happens in the blink of an eye is the same as saying it happens extremely quickly.
187
So what Zach is saying is that there were times that he barely felt the time passing.
188
and I just whisper of smoke.
189
You could lose everything.
190
The truth is you never know.
191
He also uses the word actually two times in a sentence.
192
Actually is a common word used in conversations in English and it is what we would call a discourse marker.
193
Discourse markers are words that we say to give us more time to think, add a natural flow to the conversation or emphasize what we're saying.
194
The word actually when used as a discourse marker can have different meanings.
195
Here Zach used it in two different ways.
196
First in the beginning of a sentence it shows
197
that he changed his mind about what he said before about 10 years passing by.
198
Then in the end he uses it as a synonym of really.
199
Check out these other examples of the use of actually.
200
There!
201
Cafe camps for the whole city!
202
Well this is so exciting actually, I mean, well, you know, I never get to do anything this important.
203
Enjoyed for many years by one happy family...
204
Boop! Of raccoons.
205
I'm kidding.
206
Actually...
207
Actually, it did make us happy for a long time.
208
It's gonna be tough to say goodbye.
209
I don't have work tonight.
210
I'm actually gonna go to a bowling alley and get some beers and watch people bowl.
211
And I think it's just because the movie's so evergreen and I have so many friends and family, I'm sure you do too, that watch it and rewatch it and I get reminded of it
212
and just how grateful I am that we got to do it together.
213
You can use evergreen to describe something that is consistently relevant regardless of how old it is.
214
means that even though Tangled was released 10 years ago it still has fans and people who watch it until this day.
215
Which of these words does not have the same meaning as grateful?
216
A person who feels gratitude towards something is thankful for what they have and doesn't look for more.
217
Now notice how Zack pronounces this sentence.
218
I get reminded of it and just how grateful I am that you got to do it together.
219
First, when he says got to, you can only hear one T.
220
When two equal consonants meet, in this case T from got and T from to, one of them is dropped and you can only hear one of them.
221
Check out some examples.
222
I hope you have a good day.
223
I had the best time last night.
224
Another thing that happens in connected speech is when some vowels meet, they often blend and form a new intrusive sound.
225
Listen to how he says do it reminded of it
226
and just how grateful I am that we got to do it together.
227
Here there is an extra worse sound between do and it.
228
So instead of listening to do and it, what you hear is do it.
229
Check out these other examples.
230
I'll never run, I'll never try to escape.
231
I'll never run, I'll never try to escape.
232
This is it.
233
This is a very big day, Pascal.
234
I'm finally gonna do it.
235
I'm gonna ask you.
236
Finally gonna do it.
237
It was such an immense pleasure and joy and really, like Zach has said many a time, a bucket list.
238
Like, opportunity and experience and one that I will never forget.
239
So just, yes, just endless gratitude for all of the support that people are from.
240
I don't want to do such a promise.
241
Bucket list is a list of all the things and experiences a person wants to have during his or her life.
242
Well, I can cross that off the bucket list.
243
Less, when used at the end of a word, indicates without.
244
Some common examples are
245
I feel like the world and kingdom of Corona is so rich and the possibilities are endless.
246
There are limitless characters and royalty and you know people that live in town.
247
So endless literally means that there's no end.
248
What Mandy Moore is saying is she'll always be thankful for all the support the movie has received.
249
And I don't know why but with you I can't hear the storm in my best dress, fearless.
250
Yes, ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto, all of the above.
251
Ditto is a word used to show you agree with what was said before.
252
So for example, if someone says I love this show, instead of repeating the whole sentence and saying I also love this show, you can just say ditto.
253
Zach repeats it four times here to emphasize how much he agrees with what Mandy said before.
254
Do you love me Sam?
255
What do you think?
256
Why don't you ever say it?
257
What do you mean why don't I ever say it?
258
I say it all the time.
259
No you don't, you say ditto and that's not the same.
260
We're so grateful for all of your love and support over the years too.
261
In this context she says fans of the movie gave them support.
262
To support someone means to encourage them, wishing them success.
263
This is commonly used when referring to sports teams like in my house we support the Seattle Seahawks, it's a family tradition.
264
However it can also indicate to help someone emotionally, financially or in a practical way.
265
We each made a sacrifice to get what we wanted.
266
Now you must make a choice.
267
But I don't wanna pick sides.
268
Why can't you be on my side?
269
That's what family's supposed to do.
270
Support you. But you never will.
271
Come on, Donkey.
272
I'm right here beside you.
273
Okay?
274
emotional support.
275
We'll just tackle this thing together one little baby step at a time.
276
We hope you enjoy it for years to come and thank you thank you thank you for all your love and support.
277
For years to come is used to indicate that something will continue for many years into the future.
278
You can replace years for months, weeks or days to still give the idea of continuity of a shorter period of time time.
279
Look, I'm fusing transsected spinal cords, I'm stimulating neurogenesis in the central nervous system.
280
The work I'm doing is going to save thousands for years to come.
281
Keeping your kids off the streets now may teach them a degree of caution
282
that may protect them in the days and the weeks to come.
283
Polish and wax, do laundry and mop and shine up, sweep again and by then it's like 7.15.
284
And so I'll read a book, or maybe two or three, I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery.
285
I'll play guitar and dance and cook and basically just wonder when will my life begin.
286
Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking Paper mache,
287
a bin of ballet and chess Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making Then I'll stretch,
288
maybe sketch, take a climb So I dress, and I'll be read the books If I have time to spare, I'll paint
289
I'll paint the walls some more
290
I'm sure there's room somewhere And then I'll brush and brush
291
And brush and brush my hair Stuck in the same place I've always been
292
And I'll keep wandering And wandering And wandering And wandering Where's where my life begins?
293
I can't believe that it's been 10 years.
294
Can you believe it's been 10 years, Zach?
295
Uh, in some ways, yeah.
296
The greys have really started to become more pronounced.
297
But no, it actually, in some ways, it feels like even longer ago.
298
And in some ways, it actually feels like the blink of an eye.
299
And I think it's just because the movie's so evergreen.
300
And I have so many...
301
I'm sure you do too.
302
Yeah.
303
Watch it and re-watch it, and I get reminded of it, and just how grateful I am that we got to do it together.
304
It was such an immense pleasure and joy, and really, like Zach has said many a time, a bucket list.
305
I like opportunity and experience and one that I will never forget.
306
So just, yes, just endless gratitude for all of the support that people have shown the film over the years.
307
Yes, ditto, ditto, ditto, ditto.
308
All of the above.
309
Thank you for believing in the film then, for continuing to believe in it now, for sharing it, for being enthusiastic about it.
310
We're so grateful for all of your love and support over the years, too.
311
We hope you enjoy it for years to come, and thank you, thank you, thank you for all your love and support.
312
Oh, I don't know why, but I've always loved the idea of summer and sun and all things hot.
313
Really?
314
I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat.
315
Nope.
316
But sometimes I like to close my eyes and imagine what it'd be like when summer does come.
317
Ahhhh...
318
Bees the buzz, kids the blow dandelion fuzz, and I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer.

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。
