Hey, what are you doing?

Oh, figuring out our wedding plans.

That's funny.

We were doing the same thing.
5
Yeah.
6
It's really crazy.
7
I had no idea how expensive this stuff was.
8
It is really pricey.
9
This is going to cost you a lot of money.
10
I heard the weddings are like a $40 billion a year industry.
11
It does seem like this money could be put to better use.
12
Are you serious?
13
How would you feel if we gave all the wedding money to charity and we just got married at City Hall?
14
I think it would make me want to marry you even more.
15
May I help you?
16
Yes.
17
We're here to make a rather sizable donation to the children.
18
Well, any contribution, large or small, is always appreciated.
19
Well, I think you're going to appreciate the crap out of this one.
20
Well, this is very generous.
21
I was cleaning this morning, and I found this.
22
I don't know if you want to use it, but...
23
I actually won't be wearing a dress at all.
24
We took the money we were going to spend on a wedding, and we donated it to a children's charity.
25
That's crazy!
26
I'm sorry.
27
I just, I can't imagine giving up my one wedding day like that.
28
This is really nice for you, but I've made my decision.
29
What I really want is a great big wedding.
30
Oh, yay!
31
But you already gave all the money to charity.
32
Well, I'll just ask for it back.
33
I'm seriously asking for the money back?
34
It's for our wedding day.
35
Are you here to make another donation the same day?
36
We want it back.
37
Excuse me?
38
That money was for a big wedding that we thought we didn't want, but it turns out we do.
39
So you're asking us to refund your donation to the children?
40
Yeah.
41
Yeah, I'm sorry.
42
I am.
43
But, you know, this wedding's just really important to me.
44
Hey, it's none of my business.
45
Well, hey, at least you're getting a proper wedding.
46
Yeah, I really do.
47
You know, I had nothing growing up.
48
Just like the kids I took the money from.
49
No, no, I see where this is going.
50
Look, I can't have a wedding with this money now.
51
It's tainted.
52
All right, fine.
53
We'll give the money back.
54
We're back.
55
Are you here to take more money?
56
Because I think what you're looking for is an ATM.
57
No, no, we're here to give the money back.
58
It's all about the children.
59
Although, it's also about the wedding.
60
All right, here.
61
No. Oh, God.
62
Okay, look, enough.
63
I'm going to make this decision for us.
64
No, what do you think we should do?
65
You know what?
66
It's not your decision anymore.
67
What?
68
On behalf of the children of New York, I reject your money.
69
But we're giving you this.
70
Yeah, and I'm giving it back to you.
71
Consider it a contribution.
72
Well, this is very generous.
73
Please, take the check, go have a great wedding and a wonderful life together.
74
That way we can save up, come back in a few years, and make an even bigger donation.
75
And when you do, make sure you ask for Brian.
76
Oh, is that you?
77
No.

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。
