Как я встретил вашу маму: Канадское гражданство

Kids, as you know, Aunt Robin grew up in Canada. That meant sometimes she dressed a little differently.

kɪdz, ɛz ju noʊ, ɔnt ˈrɑbɪn gru əp ɪn ˈkænədə. ðət mɛnt ˈsəmˌtaɪmz ʃi drɛst ə ˈlɪtəl ˈdɪfərˈɛntli.

Okay! Let's do this!

ˌoʊˈkeɪ! lɛts du ðɪs!

Sometimes she talked a little differently.

ˈsəmˌtaɪmz ʃi tɔkt ə ˈlɪtəl ˈdɪfərˈɛntli.

Ted, this hydro bill is bigger than Louis Cyr's biceps. What, you leave the garburator on all night, eh?

tɛd, ðɪs ˈhaɪˌdroʊ bɪl ɪz ˈbɪgər ðən luɪs cyr's ˈbaɪˌsɛps. wət, ju liv ðə garburator ɔn ɔl naɪt, ɛ?

She hung out at different bars, and enjoyed leisure time a little differently.

ʃi həŋ aʊt æt ˈdɪfərənt bɑrz, ənd ˌɛnˈʤɔɪd ˈlɛʒər taɪm ə ˈlɪtəl ˈdɪfərˈɛntli.

You want to go? You want to go?! Come on!

ju wɔnt tɪ goʊ? ju wɔnt tɪ goʊ?! kəm ɔn!

Make fun of the Great White North all you want. It's the best country in the world.

meɪk fən əv ðə greɪt waɪt nɔrθ ɔl ju wɔnt. ɪts ðə bɛst ˈkəntri ɪn ðə wərld.

Social experiment. U.S.A., U.S.A., U.S.A.

ˈsoʊʃəl ɪkˈspɛrəmənt. u.s.a., u.s.a., u.s.a.

U.S.A., U.S.A.

u.s.a., u.s.a.

Okay, okay. You know what? Okay, you know, what does that even prove, okay? You chant anything, people will join in.

ˌoʊˈkeɪ, ˌoʊˈkeɪ. ju noʊ wət? ˌoʊˈkeɪ, ju noʊ, wət dɪz ðət ˈivɪn pruv, ˌoʊˈkeɪ? ju ʧænt ˈɛniˌθɪŋ, ˈpipəl wɪl ʤɔɪn ɪn.

Canada, Canada, Cana... Okay, they won't chant anything.

ˈkænədə, ˈkænədə, ˈkænə... ˌoʊˈkeɪ, ðeɪ woʊnt ʧænt ˈɛniˌθɪŋ.

You guys will not believe this. I've been talking to my lawyer all morning. You know that guy I had a slight disagreement

ju gaɪz wɪl nɑt bɪˈliv ðɪs. aɪv bɪn ˈtɔkɪŋ tɪ maɪ ˈlɔjər ɔl ˈmɔrnɪŋ. ju noʊ ðət gaɪ aɪ hæd ə slaɪt dɪsəˈgrimənt

with at the Hoser Hut? He's filing assault charges. I broke his nose with a chair. And now, apparently, I might end up getting deported.

wɪθ æt ðə hoser hət? hiz ˈfaɪlɪŋ əˈsɔlt ˈʧɑrʤɪz. aɪ broʊk hɪz noʊz wɪθ ə ʧɛr. ənd naʊ, əˈpɛrəntli, aɪ maɪt ɛnd əp ˈgɪtɪŋ dɪˈpɔrtəd.

Well, there's only one possible way to avoid getting deported. My lawyer said I could become an American citizen.

wɛl, ðɛrz ˈoʊnli wən ˈpɑsəbəl weɪ tɪ əˈvɔɪd ˈgɪtɪŋ dɪˈpɔrtəd. maɪ ˈlɔjər sɛd aɪ kʊd bɪˈkəm ən əˈmɛrɪkən ˈsɪtɪzən.

Perfect. Problem solved. Welcome aboard.

ˈpərˌfɪkt. ˈprɑbləm sɑlvd. ˈwɛlkəm əˈbɔrd.

Well, it's not that simple. I'm a Canadian. I was born there. My family's there. It's who I am.

wɛl, ɪts nɑt ðət ˈsɪmpəl. əm ə kəˈneɪdiən. aɪ wɑz bɔrn ðɛr. maɪ ˈfæməliz ðɛr. ɪts hu aɪ æm.

I know, and it's provided us with a lot of laughs. But, Robin, if you want to live here, work here, and throw chairs at people here,

aɪ noʊ, ənd ɪts prəˈvaɪdɪd ˈjuˈɛs wɪθ ə lɔt əv læfs. bət, ˈrɑbɪn, ɪf ju wɔnt tɪ lɪv hir, wərk hir, ənd θroʊ ʧɛrz æt ˈpipəl hir,

you have to do this.

ju hæv tɪ du ðɪs.

Well, there's a citizenship test tomorrow. I'll think about it.

wɛl, ðɛrz ə ˈsɪtɪzənˌʃɪp tɛst təˈmɑˌroʊ. aɪl θɪŋk əˈbaʊt ɪt.

No, you have to do it. I'll help you study. But you know, it's not going to be easy, this test. It's not like the Canadian citizenship test.

noʊ, ju hæv tɪ du ɪt. aɪl hɛlp ju ˈstədi. bət ju noʊ, ɪts nɑt goʊɪŋ tɪ bi ˈizi, ðɪs tɛst. ɪts nɑt laɪk ðə kəˈneɪdiən ˈsɪtɪzənˌʃɪp tɛst.

How do you know the Canadian test is easy?

haʊ du ju noʊ ðə kəˈneɪdiən tɛst ɪz ˈizi?

It's Canada. Question one: Do you want to be Canadian? Question two: Really?

ɪts ˈkænədə. kˈwɛʃən wən: du ju wɔnt tɪ bi kəˈneɪdiən? kˈwɛʃən tu: ˈrɪli?
