1
It was a royal welcome for the Prince and Princess of Wales Wednesday on their first U.S visit in eight years.
2
Here to present the Earthshot Prize, which honors environmentalists.
3
They kicked off the trip by helping turn Boston City Hall green.
4
Katherine and I are absolutely delighted to be with you today for our first engagement in the great city of Boston.
5
The couple also took in an NBA game courtside, watching the Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat.
6
And then they hold this big star-studded event on Friday night
7
where they're gonna hand out five prizes worth more than a
8
million dollars each to folks who are trying to tackle the climate crisis.
9
Okay, first of all, Prince William is clearly a liar.
10
All right?
11
No one has ever been delighted to be in Boston in December.
12
December?
13
What are you excited for?
14
Oh, I love chapped lips and getting thrown up on by Patriots fans.
15
How peachy!
16
You been there in December?
17
And you might be saying, no, Trevor, they're having a good time.
18
They even have corsite seats.
19
You think these people are impressed by courtside seats?
20
The man's regular seat is a throne.
21
This man has never sat on a folding chair in his life.
22
He's probably like, Look at this thing.
23
This chair has a mouth or something, Kate.
24
Now, if we had the time, we could talk more about how great it is that Prince William
25
and Kate are awarding money to people who are trying to solve climate change, or how shitty it is that they ignored my idea to plug in a bunch of air conditioners near the glaciers.
26
Would have worked.
27
But we just don't have the time for that because while these royals are having fun in America, the royals back home in the U.K are not having a good time at all.
28
Overshadowing the trip, controversy back at Buckingham Palace.
29
The prince's godmother, Lady Susan Hussey, resigning amid accusations of racism.
30
Ngozi Filani, the founder of a women's nonprofit and a black woman born in the U.K., says Tuesday at the palace,
31
Hussey repeatedly asked where she was really from, implying she wasn't really British.
32
Ngozi Filoni tweeting the exchange, which reads in part, What nationality are you?
33
I am born here and I'm British.
34
No, but where do you really come from?
35
Where do your people come from?
36
Hussie also asking, quote, What part of Africa are you from?
37
After Ngozi said she was from London.
38
Tonight, an eyewitness describing her shock at the exchange.
39
If Ngozi was a white woman, that kind of questioning wouldn't have taken place.
40
People, how many times do we have to go through this?
41
There is only one socially acceptable way to find out someone's heritage.
42
You swab their DNA while they're asleep, okay?
43
It's the polite thing to do.
44
This is like the first thing they teach you in Avoidable Racism 101.
45
It is just never say the word from.
46
That's it.
47
includes the word from.
48
So just avoid it altogether.
49
Where are you really from?
50
Go back to where you came from.
51
You see this clip from Tucker Carlson? From.
52
Just stay away from it.
53
And I also love how this woman was given a chance to control-out-delete her racism, right?
54
But instead, she just copy-pasted and carried on.
55
Where are you from?
56
I'm born here, and I'm British.
57
No, no, no, you don't understand.
58
I'm being racist.
59
How black are you?
60
Show me on this map of Africa I brought with me.
61
Oh, let me put it in words you understand.
62
Gunga-munga-gunga-gunga.
63
Gunga.
64
Coke bottles falling from the sky.
65
Now, if we had more time, we could talk about how having a racist godmother probably made Prince William even more popular in Boston.
66
Or we could talk about how every scandal in the British
67
monarchy is technically a spoiler for a future season of The Crown.
68
But we just don't have time for that, because I know where our show's money comes from, which is why we need to go to a commercial break.
69
We'll be right back.

练习技巧
在进行影子跟读时，建议学习者模仿视频中讲话者的语速与语调。《每日秀》中的对话节奏较快，但可以通过反复播放以跟上。在进行影子跟读时，可以选择先仔细聆听短句，理解其意思后，在开始模仿时尽量保持流畅与自然。使用英语影子跟读的方法，不仅能提高提高英语发音，还可以增强学习者对不同语境下的反应能力。此外，在模仿时要注意声调和情感的传达，尽量使自己的语音更具表现力。通过反复练习，学习者能够在看YouTube学英语的过程中培养出更加自信的口语能力。
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。
