1
But times are changing.
2
The rules are changing.
3
So I don't know how much longer this is gonna be okay.
4
I'll tell you what happened to me and why I brought that up.
5
I did a podcast.
6
And before I went into the studio,
7
I'm talking to the producer outside.
8
And the producer's really excited and happy.
9
And she's like, Gabriel Iglesias,
10
we're so excited to have you.
11
This is really cool.
12
Before you go in, the host wanted me to ask you something before you go in for your interview.
13
I go, sure, go for it.
14
Okay, what do you identify as?
15
I wasn't sure how to answer that.
16
I'm 47 years old.
17
I didn't know what to say.
18
I was like, shit, hungry, I guess.
19
I mean, I'm tired, sleepy, depressed on Tuesdays.
20
I don't know what you want me to say.
21
See, here's the thing.
22
I knew what she was trying to ask me.
23
I just wasn't trying to get involved in a conversation about something that has absolutely nothing to do with me.
24
This was, yeah.
25
I felt like I was being baited because no matter how I answered that question,
26
I was going to find myself in an awkward situation.
27
So, you know, because for me,
28
I was just like, let me just be funny.
29
But nowadays you can't just not answer the question.
30
Because silence is seen as a problem.
31
And I'm sorry if me not answering a certain question is considered a problem.
32
I was brought up during a time where you were constantly told to mind your business.
33
That's all I'm trying to do is stay in my lane.
34
Another thing we were constantly told was, always respect your elders.
35
And no matter what generation you were from,
36
that was at least the one thing we could always agree on until now.
37
Now older people are seen as a problem.
38
They are.
39
You know and I understand the youth of today has the technology in the palm of their hands
40
and you can google just about anything But you cannot google life experience Okay
41
You can't you can't download struggling you can't download failure You can't download these moments
42
that help build you up to make you a better person And so,
43
again, for me, I chose to stay in my lane and just crack jokes when the girl asked me the question.
44
She got very upset.
45
She got very offended.
46
Oh, as soon as I cracked the joke,
47
she's like, no, no, no,
48
that's not what I mean.
49
I mean, what are your pronouns?
50
What?
51
What are your pronouns?
52
For example, are you a they or a them?
53
A they?
54
Or a them?
55
How fat am I?
56
When did I stop being a it?
57
Apparently I ate myself into a plural, that's what happened.
58
What I'm finding is even if you have good intentions and you're just trying to be cool,
59
you can still find yourself in a situation.
60
So I'll tell you what else happened to me, okay?
61
I was at a McDonald's.
62
That's not even the joke, but okay.
63
Already they're like, this is gonna be good.
64
No!
65
I was at a McDonald's by my house.
66
The McDonald's by my house is actually a twofer.
67
It's a McDonald's on the corner,
68
and it's also a gas station.
69
I got a big SUV.
70
I knew it was gonna be a minute,
71
so I said, let me go get some nuggets while I'm here.
72
I walk into the McDonald's,
73
and as I'm walking in,
74
I couldn't help but notice this homeless family sitting right outside.
75
Now, they didn't have a sign,
76
they did not ask me for money,
77
but you could just tell.
78
You could just tell that this poor family is dealing with life.
79
So I get inside and I said, you know what?
80
I don't need anything to eat.
81
I really don't.
82
At this point, it's just a habit.
83
I get to the register and I says,
84
you know what, let me order some food for the family.
85
They got kids with them.
86
So I placed an order and the cashier's like, Anything else?
87
Actually, yes.
88
Do you have, um, um, wet naps?
89
Excuse me?
90
You know, wet naps to clean your hands.
91
Sir, you're more than welcome to use the restroom.
92
I'll give you the code.
93
Here's the thing.
94
It's not for me.
95
It's for the homeless family that's right outside the door.
96
I want to make sure that the little kids can clean their hands before they eat.
97
This food that I just ordered is for them.
98
And as we're talking...
99
Thank you.
100
As we're talking, the manager at the McDonald's is listening in to our conversation.
101
And she walks over, she's all nosy, right?
102
She's like, excuse me, I couldn't help but overhear the conversation.
103
Did you just say that this food is for the family outside?
104
Yeah, I hope that's okay.
105
Oh no, it is definitely okay.
106
Giving food to people who need food is definitely okay.
107
However, what you just called them is not okay.
108
What did I call them?
109
You said homeless.
110
Cause they are!
111
Look, shit!
112
He's licking the window!
113
Sir, you can't say that word anymore.
114
It's considered offensive.
115
Who complained?
116
Okay, well, if I'm not supposed to say the word homeless anymore,
117
What am I supposed to say instead of the word homeless?
118
Sir, the new politically correct term is actually unhoused when describing someone in an unfortunate situation like that.
119
You're kidding.
120
No, sir, I'm not kidding and please lower your voice.
121
How do you want me to lower my voice when you're saying something so ridiculous?
122
Well, sir, if you think it's ridiculous,
123
then clearly you are part of the problem, not the solution.
124
Oh, Miami, I wanted to get ghetto.
125
I wanted to get ghetto.
126
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, I wanted to go full Hialeah on them.
127
Thank you for coming, Hialeah.
128
So, yeah, I wanted to go off on her,
129
but I wanted to get ghetto,
130
but I couldn't because that is the regular McDonald's I go to.
131
You know what I'm saying?
132
I'm not trying to get banned.
133
The next one's far and Cass is a bitch, so I'm like, nah.
134
So I looked at her and I said,
135
okay, we're going to play this game.
136
Let's play this game.
137
From now on, I'm no longer fat.
138
According to you, I am now unexercised.
139
I did bro, she looked at me,
140
she's like, don't be ridiculous.
141
And I looked at her and I was like,
142
oh, oh, well if you think it's ridiculous,
143
then clearly you are part of the problem, not the solution.
144
And I grabbed the food and I walked out.
145
Now, second half of the story,
146
I walk over to the family, okay?
147
And I hand the bags of food to the mom.
148
And the mom was so nice.
149
She was just happy that someone thought of her and her kids.
150
She got very emotional.
151
She's like, I just want to say thank you.
152
You have no idea what you're doing for us right now.
153
This really means a lot.
154
Thank you.
155
And I had to ask the question.
156
I said, are you okay?
157
I don't know what you thought.
158
Some of you are like, don't do it!
159
Oh, I did it, that's why we're here, watch.
160
So I looked at her and I said, are you okay?
161
And she was like, no, unfortunately, we're not okay.
162
We're not, we've been homeless now for four days.
163
and I was like, um...
164
I don't know if you heard.
165
But, uh...
166
I didn't correct her.
167
I didn't correct her because I'm not a dick.
168
That's why I corrected her.
169
Thank you.

为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
在学习英语时，最重要的一步是提高口语能力。观看像“他们/她们？我有多胖？”这样的视频，不仅能帮助你练习英语口语，还能让你理解语境中的幽默和文化背景。加布里埃尔·伊格莱西亚斯的幽默风格吸引了大量观众，尤其适合那些想通过娱乐内容来增强语言能力的学习者。通过看YouTube学英语，你可以在轻松的氛围中进行英语口语练习，提升自己的表达能力，进一步理解语言的细微差别。
语法与表达在语境中的应用
在视频中，演讲者使用了几个关键的表达和语法结构，适合用来帮助学习者加深对英语的理解：
- "I didn't know what to say." – 表示无知或困惑，这种表达可以用来谈论自己对某种情况的反应。
- "Let me just be funny." – 在交谈中保持幽默感，这种短语经常用于缓解尴尬或紧张的气氛。
- "You can't google life experience." – 强调生活经历的重要性，适合用来讨论学习之外的知识。
这些表达不仅让学习者明白如何在特定情境中交流，也可以增强他们的英语口语练习能力。
常见发音陷阱
在观看视频时，请注意以下一些可能会造成发音困难的单词和语音特征：
- "Priorities" – 这个词的发音在不同口音中可能有所不同，注意元音之间的过渡。
- "Experience" – 这个词的音节分割对非母语者来说可能比较棘手，确保重读的音节清晰。
通过反复练习这些词，学习者可以逐步提高他们的英语发音水平，减轻因发音引起的沟通障碍。同时，使用英语影子跟读的技巧，可以更好地掌握这些发音，从而提升交流能力。
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。
