I'm Ksenia, your RealLife English fluency coach.

我是 Ksenia，你的 RealLife English 流利教練。

And today we are learning English with a great animated movie, Rango, starring Johnny Depp.

今天我們要透過一部很棒的動畫電影 Rango，由 Johnny Depp 主演，來學英文。

After being accidentally thrown from his family's car, a lonely pet chameleon named Rango finds himself in the desert, starting a surprising rise from lost outsider to an unexpected hero.

一隻名叫 Rango 的寵物變色龍，在意外被家人車子丟出後，發現自己身處沙漠，開始了一段令人驚訝的崛起，從一個迷失的局外人變成一個意想不到的英雄。

As we just saw, he ends up in the Old west town of Dirt and quickly realizes he needs to blend in to look and behave like everyone else so he doesn't attract attention.

就像我們剛才看到的，他最後來到了 Old west 的 Dirt 小鎮，並很快意識到他需要融入，讓自己看起來和行為都像其他人一樣，這樣才不會引起注意。

This is like dressing like the locals when traveling abroad.

這就像出國旅行時，要打扮得像當地人一樣。

The opposite would be to stick out like a sore thumb.

反過來就是會 stick out like a sore thumb。

Being obviously different from everyone else.

Imagine showing up to a formal wedding in jeans and a T shirt.

想像一下，你穿著牛仔褲和 T shirt 去參加正式婚禮。

Yeah, Rango is absolutely packed with useful advanced English expressions.

對啊，Rango 裡塞滿了超多實用的進階英文說法。

If you're like me and you may forget new words an hour after you learn them, then I recommend you study Blend In, Stick out, and

如果你跟我一樣，學了新單字可能一小時後就忘了，那我推薦你用 RealLife English app 裡的 magic flashcards 來學習 Blend In、Stick out

all the other best expressions from today's lesson with the magic flashcards on the RealLife English app.

以及今天課程裡所有最棒的說法。

You'll first watch each scene with subtitles.

Then we'll learn all the most important expressions, pronunciation and grammar together.

然後我們會一起學習所有最重要的說法、發音和文法。

And stick around until the end because you'll test everything you learned by watching all the clips without subtitles and answering some of these questions.

留到最後喔，因為你會透過看沒有字幕的片段並回答一些問題，來測驗你學到的所有東西。

As a matter of fact, I am, but not as much as your daddy's cooking.

As a matter of fact, 我是，但沒有你想念你爸爸的廚藝那麼想。

Out there, beyond the horizon, past the sunset.

在那裡，在地平線的另一端，日落之後。

Place I come from, we kill a man before breakfast just to work up an appetite.

我來自的地方，我們在早餐前殺一個人，只是為了喚醒食慾。

When he arrives in Dirt, he's suddenly free to reinvent himself.

當他來到 Dirt 時，他突然可以重新塑造自己。

So as we saw, he starts making up an elaborate backstory that's absolutely full of advanced expressions.

所以就像我們看到的，他開始編造一個非常複雜的背景故事，裡面充滿了進階的表達方式。

So we have the same word, matter, used in two different ways.

所以我們有同一個字 matter，但用了兩種不同的方式。

First, Spoons notices this weird new stranger and challenges him by asking, what's the matter?

首先，Spoons 注意到這個奇怪的新陌生人，並問他「怎麼了？」來挑戰他。

That's just a common way to ask, what's wrong?

這只是問「怎麼了？」的常見說法。

Renga courageously and quickly responds to Spoons insults with As a matter of fact, I am.

Rango 勇敢且迅速地回應 Spoons 的侮辱，說「事實上，我是。」

Actually, now that you mention it, that's completely false.

其實，你這麼一說，這完全是錯的。

This phrase is used to introduce a fact that clarifies, corrects, or emphasizes what's being said.

這句話用來介紹一個事實，這個事實能澄清、修正或強調正在說的事情。

It can show agreement and stronger information, or signal that the speaker is about to be especially direct and truthful.

它可以表示同意和更強的資訊，或發出信號，表示說話者即將變得特別直接和誠實。

Unless you were conspiring with a bunch of known criminals?

除非你跟一群已知的罪犯串通？

Well, as a matter of fact, it's time I came clean about something.

嗯，事實上，是時候我該坦白一件事了。

Rengo shoots back an insult and then continues with his absurd, absurd origin story.

Rango 回敬了一句侮辱，然後繼續講他荒謬、荒謬的起源故事。

在那裡，在地平線的另一邊，日落之後。

The horizon is that line where the sky appears to meet the ground or sea.

地平線是天空看起來和地面或海洋相接的那條線。

它就是你眼睛所能看到的最遠的地方。

When someone says something is beyond the horizon, they mean it's far away.

當有人說某件事「在地平線的另一邊」，他們的意思是那裡很遠。

And in American history, the far west refers to the wildest and most remote areas.

在美國歷史上，遙遠的西部指的是最狂野、最偏遠的地區。

Rangus trying to paint himself as coming from the roughest, toughest place imaginable.

Rango 試圖把自己塑造成來自最粗獷、最艱苦的地方。

Now, tell me, have you ever felt frustrated when native speakers talk really fast?

好了，告訴我，母語人士講話速度很快的時候，你是不是覺得很挫折？

You see, the issue usually isn't their speed.

你看，問題通常不在於他們的速度。

That's how natives culture use and link their words in fluent speech.

這才是母語人士在流利講話時，文化上如何使用和連結他們的單字。

First off, this word matter was used twice, but it wasn't pronounced as matter.

首先，這個字 matter 用了兩次，但它沒有被唸成 matter。

These movie characters are American, so they transform this into a tap t, which sounds like a soft d.

這些電影角色是美國人，所以他們把這個變成 tap t，聽起來像軟 d。

In the first phrase, the is reduced to just a schwa sound and all three words connect.

在第一個片語裡，the 被簡化成一個 schwa 音，而且這三個字都連在一起了。

The e and of in the second phrase both transform into schwas too, and all the words link.

第二個片語裡的 e 和 of 也都變成了 schwa 音，而且所有字都連在一起了。

So as a matter of fact becomes as a matter of fact.

所以 as a matter of fact 就變成了 as a matter of fact。

As a matter of fact, your speaking will only get better with lots of practice.

As a matter of fact，多練習你的口說就會越來越好。

And we see another great example in the next phrase, past the sunset.

在下一個片語 past the sunset 中，我們又看到了另一個很棒的例子。

Usually when we have a combination of a t or d and a th sound, we only pronounce the second one.

通常當我們有 t 或 d 和 th 音的組合時，我們只會發第二個音。
