Hello, Wentworth.
2
I like your look and I like your name.
3
It's such a good name.
4
I think I mentioned that last time you were here.
5
It's just a great name.
6
I have something for you.
7
I saw somebody put something down there.
8
What you got?
9
It's a gift.
10
I heard it was your fifth anniversary, so I wanted to give you something.
11
And I remember seeing a clip of Smoking Donkey.
12
We used to have the Smoking Donkey on the table, yes.
13
Yes.
14
I think this is a little companion piece.
15
Now he's got a friend.
16
Oh, my.
17
It's the drinking bear.
18
This is vintage?
19
This is vintage.
20
I found this at a pawn shop outside of Dallas, Texas.
21
Oh, and he pours it.
22
Oh, and he drinks it.
23
Fantastic.
24
Thank you.
25
That's great.
26
I wonder how many animals they thought of before they decided upon the bear that would drink.
27
They...
28
Usually chimpanzees they make do all those things.
29
Yeah, just a little something for the kids.
30
It's great.
31
Great.
32
I don't know where the smoking dog is.
33
We thought it was not cool to be putting smoking out there. Of course.
34
So we decided to take it away.
35
But there's nothing wrong with a drinking bear.
36
Uh-uh.
37
No. Now, speaking of smoking, because it's bad for you, you know, it's really bad for you.
38
And you recently just quit, right?
39
Yes, I did.
40
I did.
41
Great.
42
How long did you smoke?
43
Did you smoke for a long time?
44
I did.
45
I was smoking on and off for about 10 years.
46
But I've had maybe four or five cigarettes in the last eight months.
47
So as far as I'm concerned, that's quitting.
48
Yeah.
49
I think that's pretty good.
50
So that's good.
51
So that means you haven't totally quit.
52
That means you're not completely addicted, that you're going to start all the way up again.
53
No, I think I'm done with it, which is great.
54
Yeah, how'd you do it?
55
Well, you know, I didn't want to try the patch, because I thought chemicals got me into this.
56
I don't want to use chemicals to get me out of this.
57
I just want to stop cold turkey on my own willpower.
58
I think that's the best way to do it.
59
Now, is it hard, like everybody, because it just seems like the kind of set where there's a bunch of guys just sitting around, because there's a lot of down time.
60
Do a lot of guys smoke on the set?
61
They do.
62
They do, but my new addiction is a Blackberry.
63
Oh, really?
64
Yeah, constantly on the Blackberry.
65
Keep your hands busy.
66
Exactly.
67
Exactly.
68
And speaking of the show and the set, I can't not ask this.
69
I mean, Lane Garrison, who had such a tragedy.
70
I mean, it was just such a horrible thing that happened, the drunk driving incident.
71
And I've seen him sobbing.
72
He clearly is remorseful.
73
And he's, I don't know if you know the story.
74
He didn't even know that the kids, they were killed when he was driving drunk.
75
And a couple of 15-year-olds or something, right?
76
And so have you talked to him or do you have...
77
Not recently, but I did get a chance to spend some time with Lane when he was working on the show,
78
and all I can say is that he is essentially a very sweet kid who made a horrific mistake.
79
Obviously, there are no excuses.
80
Nothing's going to bring that boy back, and he'll spend the rest of his life paying for it.
81
And I was really proud of him that he stepped forward and took full responsibility for his actions.
82
Yeah, yeah, it's it just shows you I mean, I'm sure he was a great guy and just one
83
That's a bad decision that should show you you don't you don't drink
84
and drive you don't fool around with it No matter what a great person you are.
85
It's just not worth it.
86
You know to take that chance It's a serious segment on Ellen today.
87
Yeah, it is Well, you know,
88
that's a no, let's let's get lighter then Take your shirt off Well,
89
you had the tattoos before.
90
You're back in prison again.
91
You were out, now you're back in prison.
92
That's right.
93
And so now, and you had the tattoos before.
94
You were always like this.
95
And now, you don't have the tattoos.
96
Right.
97
So you have to just wear a shirt all the time to cover?
98
I'm in a long sleeve t-shirt.
99
To pretend to cover all that.
100
Yeah, and it's supposed to be down in Panama.
101
It's supposed to be hot.
102
We're sweating.
103
We're shooting the show in Dallas, so it's like 110 degrees every day.
104
It's a nightmare.
105
And humid, too.
106
And humid, yeah.
107
Yeah.
108
And what is that?
109
Like, that must be, and it's not like a, they don't try to make it look real clean.
110
It's a prison.
111
It's a bad, bad prison.
112
Yeah, you're supposed to be dirty.
113
You're supposed to be sweaty.
114
All the actors before every take were standing there with our own little spritz bottles, spraying ourselves down just to sell the story that we're supposed to be selling, which is funny to me
115
because I can remember driving around Los Angeles way before my career had started in this 1982 beat up Toyota Cressida.
116
The AC was shot.
117
The windows were down.
118
I've got like a spritz bottle rolling around the car like underneath my seat.
119
And I'd pull up to an intersection or the red light
120
or something and I'd spray myself down just to like stay cool. And now?
121
The universe has a really bizarre sense of humor.
122
That spritz bottle.
123
Is it the same one or no?
124
You didn't hold onto it?
125
I've upgraded.
126
All right.
127
Thanks for being here.
128
My pleasure.
129
The third season.
130
And thanks for my drinking beer.
131
Oh, you're welcome.
132
The third season of Prison Break premieres tonight at 8 o'clock on Fox.
133
We'll look at some of the highlights from my vlogs after this.
为什么要通过这个视频练习口语？
在学习英语的过程中，口语练习是提高交流能力的重要环节。通过观看Wentworth Miller在视频中与主持人的对话，可以帮助你在真实语境中理解口语表达的使用方式。这种shadowspeaks的方法不仅能提高你的听力理解，还能让你在模仿中自信开口，掌握更自然的表达。同时，轻松愉快的对话氛围也能激发你对学习英语的兴趣，变得更加主动。
语法和表达在语境中的应用
在本视频中，有几个重要的结构和表达值得注意：
- 时间状语从句：例如“我吸烟大约十年。”这个结构使得谈话更加流畅和自然，能够清楚地说明时间段。
- 反问句：如“对吧？” 这种用法在对话中常用于确认对方的理解和意见，能够增强互动感。
- 非谓语动词：视频中使用的“去戒烟”显示出如何用简洁方式表达复杂的想法，适合在不同场合进行表达。
通过模仿这些句子，英语学习者能够提升自身的语言结构使用能力，使得口语更加地道。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，还存在一些需要注意的发音及重音问题：
- “smoking”: 确保在发音时注意正确的重音，避免语音模糊。
- “cigarettes”: 这个词有时发音不清，导致理解困难，学习者应多练习。
- 连音现象：例如“did you”常常连读为“didja”，这使得听者容易失去对句子结构的把握。
通过在练习中注意这些发音细节，学习者可以更自信地进行shadow speech训练，提高他们的流利度和准确性。
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。
