متن انگلیسی درس

what is up? I’m Ethan, your RealLife English fluency coach, and I’m back with another dynamite lesson with a movie for you.

if you’re a bit of a geek like I am, then you are going to love this lesson with Star Wars.

it’s from “a new hope” and it features Darth, Princess Leia, Luke, Obi Wan and of course Han Solo.

and if you’re not yet a subscriber, please remember to subscribe, join a hundreds of thousands of learners who love having fun learning English. without any further ado, let’s jump into this lesson with Star Wars.

we’ve entered the Alderaan system.

Governor Tarkin.

I should have expected to find you holding Vader’s leash.

I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.

Charming to the last.

You don’t know how hard I found it signing the order to terminate your life.

I’m surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself.

Princess Leia, before your execution - I would like you to be my guest at a ceremony that will make this battle station operational.

No star system will dare oppose the emperor now.

the more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

Not after we demonstrate the power of this station. in a way, you have determined the choice of the planet that’ll be destroyed first.

Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the rebel base, I have chosen to test this station’s destructive power on your home planet of Alderaan.

No! Alderaan is peaceful. we have no weapons. you can’t possibly

You would prefer another target? A military target?

then name the system.

I grow tired of asking this, so it’ll be the last time.

where is the rebel base? Dantooine.

They’re on Dantooine.

There. you see, Lord Vader? she can be reasonable.

continue with the operation. you may fire when ready.

What?

you’re far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration, but don’t worry.

we will deal with your rebel friends soon enough.

commence primary ignition.

Remember, and Jedi can feel the Force following through him.

You mean it controls your actions?

Partially, but it also obeys your commands.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

you don’t believe in the Force, do you?

Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other.

I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s one all-powerful force controlling everything.

there’s no mystical energy field controls my destiny.

it’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.

I suggest you try it again, Luke.

this time, let go your conscious self - and act on instinct.

with the blast shield down, I can’t even see. How am I supposed to fight?

your eyes can deceive you. Don’t trust them.

Stretch out with your feelings.

You see? you can do it.

I call it luck.

in my experience, there’s no such thing as luck.

Look, good against remotes is one thing. good against the living, that’s something else.

looks like we’re coming up on Alderaan.

you know, I did feel something. I could almost see the remote.

That’s good. You’ve taken your first step into a larger world.

I should’ve expected to find you holding Vader’s leash

I should’ve expected to find you holding Vader’s leash

Leash a piece of rope or cord used for holding a dog or another animal. But, metaphorically and as it’s used in this scene, to hold someone’s leash means to watch and control the behavior of someone.

I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.

foul stench; stench describes a very bad smell, for example “the stench of rotting meat”.

it can also be used metaphorically to refer to an unpleasant situation, as in the example “the stench of corruption”.

foul in this case emphasizes or intensifies the meaning of stench (which already carries a strong connotation).

this word is most commonly used as an adjective to describe a bad smell, but it’s also used together with several different words to mean “bad” as in “foul language” (meaning filled with cursing or bad words).

other common uses include “foul mouth” (when one says a lot of bad words), or “foul play” (dishonest or unlawful behavior).

on board; on a ship, train, aircraft, or spacecraft. this phrase is used with different verbs, like “to be/ get/ brain on board” which defines the nature of the action.

Charming to the last.

Charming; very pleasant or appealing; making you feel attracted to someone or something.

for example, there’s something so charming about her personality that makes everybody like her.

to the last; to the end, especially to the end of one’s life.

Example, although she was very sick, she was good spirited and cheerful to the last.

Note: this expression isn’t very common.

no star system of dare oppose the emperor now.

Dare to; to do something that others aren’t brave enough to attempt doing.

Example, we didn’t dare to complain.

The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

The more you tighten your grip, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

to grip is to hold something with your hands. if you tighten your grip, it means you hold something more firmly and strongly.

to slip through your fingers, like in this picture, is when something you possess or nearly possess unexpectedly escapes.

the idea Leia is expressing here is a very visual one. The tighter you hold something, the more pressure you apply to it, and therefore that causes whatever you are keeping inside of your hand slip or escape through your fingers.

And what she means by this is that as governor Tarkin exerts more control over the galaxy the more star systems will escape his control.

Just a quick interruption. if you’re enjoying this lesson, please let us know by liking it and I also have a big challenge for you not that big actually. I would like you to comment down below, making an example sentence with one of the new expressions that you learn today. we might even correct it for you. Alright, let’s jump back into the lesson.

Since you are reluctant to provide us with the location of the rebel base,

Reluctant; not willing or feeling doubt about doing something.

Example, she was reluctant to leave a tip for the waiter.

I have chosen to test this station’s destructive power on your home planet of Alderaan.

Home planet; when we refer to our place or region of origin, we normally put “home” before it. in this way, it’s common to hear hometown (as one word) or home city or country.

I grow tired of asking this, so it’ll be the last time.

To grow retire; to grow in this case means to gradually become. To grow retired is a very common combination of this words.

Example, as he watched more and more Learn English with TV series videos, understanding natives grew a lot easier.

You’re far too trusting. Dantooine is too remote to make an effective demonstration, but don’t worry.

Trusting; tending to believe that other people are honest, good, etc. and without the suspicion that they could harm you or deceive you.

Example, learners should not be so trusting of schools that promise fluency in a question of months.

we will deal with your rebel friends soon enough.

deal with something; to do a certain task that might be (either slightly or completely) unpleasant to you. to handle or take care of something.

Example, although a lot of learners don’t want to deal with grammar, it is an important part of the process.

Commence primary ignition.

Commence; formal word that means to begin.

Example, the televised presidential debate will commence in 30 minutes.

Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him.

A Jedi; a member of the mystical knightly order in the Star Wars films, trained to guard peace and justice in the universe.

the force; in Star Wars, the forces is an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it connects the entire galaxy.

Partially, but it also obeys your commands.

to obey; a command a command is an order. To obey means to do what you’re told to. The meaning of these two words make them naturally combine with each other.

Other common collocations/uses with obey are: to obey an instruction/ order or to obey the law/ rules.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.

Hokey; refers to something that is sentimental in an exaggerated way. a more common way to say this nowadays is “cheesy”.

to be no match for something; if a person or something is no match for another person or something it means they can’t compete since one is so much better or more advanced than the other one.

Example, most boxers were no match for Mike Tyson when he was in his prime.

I’ve never seen a lot of strange stuff

I’ve never seen a lot of strange stuff

it’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense

it’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense

nonsense; words or ideas that have no meaning and are not true, silly, or stupid. Example, I don’t believe in any superstitious nonsense like “Friday the 13th “ being an unlucky day, or breaking a mirror will bring you 7 years of bad luck.

with the blast shield down, I can’t even see. how am I supposed to fight?

Blaster shield; a shield as a protective barrier against enemy fire, in this case blast, which takes the form of laser-likes bullets. a blaster, referenced earlier, is weapon that shoots blasts.

your eyes can deceive you. don’t trust them.

Deceive; to make someone believe something that is not true.

Example, be sure to check the facts before you believe a new story. many media sources are known to deceive people with lies.

stretch out with your feelings

stretch out; to put your arms, legs, etc., and positions that make the muscles long and tight.

here the phrase “stretch out with your feelings” means to connect or listen to your feelings or intuition rather than rational instinct.

In my experience, there’s no such thing as luck.

there’s no such thing as; used to say that something doesn’t exist.

Example, there’s no such thing as magic results when you’re trying to achieve something difficult; all there is is consistency, dedication, and hard work.

we’ve entered the Alderaan system.

Governor Tarkin.

I should have expected to find you holding Vader’s leash.

Look, good against remotes is one thing. good against the living, that’s something else.

looks like we’re coming up on Alderaan.

you know, I did feel something. I could almost see the remote.

That’s good. You’ve taken your first step into a larger world.

Aw yeah! you made it all the way to the end of the lesson. Great job!
