1
So you think this might not get into the national press?
2
Well, a few lines on the inside page of The Guardian, but nothing to worry about.
3
Actually, it's only the urban middle class who worry about the preservation of the countryside because they don't have to live in it.
4
Will that be all, Minister?
5
Yes.
6
No!
7
This may well blow over, but it doesn't answer my basic question.
8
Which was?
9
Why wasn't I told about it before I made the announcement?
10
There are those who have argued, and indeed cogently, that on occasion there are some things it is better for a minister not to know.
11
What are you talking about?
12
Minister, your answers in the House and at the press conference were superb.
13
You were convincing and convinced.
14
The critics were silenced.
15
But could you have spoken with the same authority if the ecological pressure group had been abadgering you?
16
But I have a right to know.
17
I am the people's representative.
18
What right have you got to withhold this information from me?
19
It's intolerant.
20
It's in your own best interest, Minister.
21
What do you mean, something that is better for a minister not to know?
22
I mean, it's outrageous.
23
It must not occur again.
24
And it so happens that I've got a plan here for the reorganization of this department which will ensure that it doesn't.
25
Indeed?
26
Yes, indeed.
27
Now, if I were to have one under-secretary and two assistant secretaries reporting directly to me...
28
Minister, please.
29
No, just a moment, Humphrey.
30
Let me tell you my plan.
31
The plan is immaterial.
32
Minister, I have something to say to you which you may not like to hear.
33
Why should today be any different?
34
Minister, the traditional allocation of executive responsibilities has always been so determined as to
35
liberate the ministerial incumbent from the administrative minutiae by devolving the managerial functions to those whose experience and qualifications have better formed them for the performance of such humble offices,
36
thereby releasing their political overlords for the more onerous duties and profound deliberations which are the inevitable concomitant of their exalted position.
37
Now, whatever made you think I wouldn't want to hear that?
38
Well, I thought it might upset you.
39
How could it?
40
I didn't understand a single word.
41
Comfrey, for God's sake, for once in your life, put it into plain English.
42
If you insist, you are not here to run this department.
43
I beg your pardon?
44
You are not here to run this department.
45
I think I am.
46
The people think I am too.
47
With respect, Minister, you are...
48
They are wrong.
49
And who does run this department?
50
I do.
51
I see.
52
And what am I supposed to do?
53
We've been through all this before.
54
Make policy, get legislation enacted, and above all, secure the department's budget in cabinet.
55
I sometimes think that the budget is all you ever really care about.
56
It is rather important, Minister.
57
If nobody cared about the budget, we might end up with a department so small that even a minister could run it.
58
Humphrey, are we about to have a fundamental disagreement about the nature of democracy?
59
No, Minister, merely a demarcation dispute.
60
What I mean is that the menial chore of running a department is beneath you.
61
You're fashioned for a nobler calling.
62
Well, I'm quite prepared to leave the routine paperwork to you, but I must insist on direct access to all information.
63
again do I want to hear that phrase there are some things it is better for a minister not to know exactly well minutes I do that is an order Humphrey as you say minister if that is what you really want to treating cabinet ministers as though they were irresponsible ten-year-olds
64
Thank you.

本课简介

在本课中,学习者将通过分析和练习《是,部长》的对话,提升他们的英语口语能力。重点将放在如何用简单明了的语言表达复杂思想,以及如何通过不同角色的语调和速度来增强理解能力。通过这一练习,学习者不仅能提高口语流利度,还能更好地理解日常对话中的语境和情感。

重点词汇与短语

  • preservation of the countryside - 乡村保护
  • intolerant - 不耐烦的,不能容忍的
  • executive responsibilities - 行政职责
  • administrative minutiae - 行政细节
  • political overlords - 政治上级
  • put it into plain English - 用简单的英语表达
  • representative - 代表
  • convinced - 确信的,信服的

练习技巧

在进行这段对话的英语影子跟读(shadow speaking)时,建议按照视频中的语速进行反复练习。注意角色的语调变化以及他们在对话中表达的情感。你可以先慢速跟读,再逐渐提高速度,以适应自然对话的节奏。注意抑扬顿挫,这样能更好地模仿说话者的表达方式。

对于某些复杂的句子,可以尝试拆解成简单的部分,逐一练习。例如,“你不在这里管理这个部门”可以先单独练习各个短语,确保准确发音后再进行完整句子的跟读。这种方法可以在你的英语口语练习中形成一种有效的练习模式。

同时,观看视频时,可以暂停并重复关键词汇和短语,这样可以加深对内容的理解,也能帮助记忆。通过这种看YouTube学英语的方式,你可以更自信地在对话中使用新学的词汇和短语。

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。
