Ndini Cyril Junior Dim.
4
Thank you, contest chair.
5
You're welcome.
6
I love that the contest chair sounds more Zimbabwean than I do.
7
In Zimbabwe, we speak Shona.
8
And in this beautiful language,
9
we have a very important word that I'd like to share with you today.
10
In Shona, we say, Ndini.
11
N-D-I-N-I.
12
Ndini.
13
Try it.
14
Beautiful.
15
It means, this is me.
16
In my language, we have one word for this very important phrase.
17
This is me.
18
Ndini.
19
This word is special for me now,
20
but growing up, I wasn't always comfortable with who I was.
21
You see, even though I grew up in Zimbabwe,
22
my middle name was a long, winding, complicated Nigerian name name,
23
because my father, whom I never knew, was Nigerian.
24
Now yes, I may know a Nigerian prince or two,
25
but back then, I didn't want a Nigerian name.
26
I wanted a cool name,
27
like Martin Luther King Jr. Or Contest Chair.
28
The other kids would make fun of me.
29
They said my name was useful as a password.
30
They called my middle name memorably forgettable.
31
They said my middle name was a curse from black magic.
32
I hated my name.
33
Have you ever hated something about yourself?
34
I would argue with mom.
35
I would be so mad at her.
36
You gave me this name.
37
You did this to me.
38
And now everybody makes fun of me because I'm different.
39
And my mom would look at me and say,
40
But son, that name is who you are.
41
It's special.
42
You know, your middle name means that what God has done,
43
Man, no man can change.
44
And I said, Mom, man has changed many things.
45
Okay, look at chihuahuas.
46
That used to be a wolf.
47
I'm pretty sure I can change my name. And I did.
48
As soon as I turned 18,
49
I had my middle name removed from all my documents.
50
It became my best-kept secret,
51
and I have not said that name once ever since.
52
Before I knew it, it was 2018,
53
and I had landed in college,
54
not in Zimbabwe, not even in Africa,
55
but in the heart of Eastern Europe.
56
It was clear who grew up in the snow and who grew up in the sand.
57
I had never been this different before.
58
The fly in the milk.
59
It felt like I had taken one step forward and ten steps backwards.
60
Then I met Nick, another fly in the milk, but from Congo.
61
He's got the African boy swag,
62
you know, low, deep voice, speaks very slowly.
63
He's like Mufasa, but in slow motion.
64
We're in the library one day,
65
and Nick drops his ID.
66
And like a good friend,
67
I pick it up and proceed to read it out loud,
68
including his full name, Nicholas Rolinswini Bitumi.
69
And I say, dude, let's say your name three times and see what happens.
70
But I knew exactly how those words must have felt. But Nick was ready.
71
I have never met anybody with my name.
72
It was a gift from my grandfather, and I like it.
73
And we laughed, and we got kicked out of the library.
74
But in my heart, I was 18 again,
75
seeing in Nick what I didn't have for myself,
76
acceptance and for the first time I started looking around and I realized we're all different
77
even Nick was different but he wasn't just different.
78
He was special because he accepted himself.
79
And for the first time in a long time,
80
I wanted to accept myself too.
81
I looked myself in the mirror and said, Indini, this is me.
82
I know that many of you out there at some point in your life have felt uncomfortable being who you are.
83
Maybe it was your name,
84
maybe it was the family you came from,
85
maybe it was the school you went to,
86
maybe you were tall, maybe you were short,
87
maybe you have wrinkles, freckles, maybe you have scars.
88
I know that some of you out there know what it is to be different.
89
And even if you don't feel it,
90
I'm sure you know somebody who does.
91
You are beautifully you.
92
The only you.
93
And no man can change that.
94
So let me invite you to make this very important word a part of your language.
95
Ndini.
96
This is me.
97
For my friends here in Nashville and the thousands watching from home,
98
say it with me.
99
This is me.
100
This is me.
101
Ndini.
102
Ndini.
103
Beautiful.
104
I haven't had the courage to officially reclaim my name.
105
But here, today, I think we can make a step in the right direction.
106
I was born Cyril Junior Uchechukumere Dim.
107
And this is me, Dini.
108
Thank you.

コンテクストと背景
シリル・ジュニア・ディムは、会話の中で自身の経験を通じて自己受容の重要性を語ります。彼はジンバブエで育ち、ナイジェリアの複雑な名前を持っていたため、周囲からからかわれることが多く、自分自身に対するコンプレックスに悩んでいました。彼のスピーチは、自身のアイデンティティに対する葛藤や、名前の持つ意味について考えさせる内容となっており、英語学習者には多くのヒントが含まれています。
日常会話のためのトップ5フレーズ
- Ndini - これは私です。
- Thank you - ありがとう。
- You're welcome - どういたしまして。
- Have you ever hated something about yourself? - 自分自身の中で何かを嫌いになったことはありますか？
- Your name is who you are. - 名前はあなた自身です。
段階的シャドーイングガイド
このスピーチは、英語スピーキング能力を向上させるための優れた教材です。以下の手順で「英語シャドーイング」に取り組んでみましょう。
- ビデオを視聴する: 初めに、シリルのスピーチを通して聞くだけで意味を理解します。発音やイントネーションに注目してください。
- フレーズの発音を確認する: 特に重要なフレーズをピックアップし、何度もリピートして練習します。「Ndini」などの言葉に特に注意を払いましょう。
- シャドーイングを実践する: 彼の言葉を真似しながら、声に出して発音します。初めは少しずつ、慣れてきたら速さを上げていきましょう。
- 録音する: 自分の声を録音して、発音やリズムを確認します。どの部分がまだ改善できるかを分析してみてください。
- 繰り返す: 何度も繰り返し練習し、自分の中に自然にフレーズが定着するまで繰り返しましょう。
このように英語を「シャドーイング」することで、発音や流暢さを向上させることができます。YouTubeで英語学習を進めながら、上記の方法を取り入れて日常生活でも実践してみてください。自分の言葉をしっかりと磨き上げていくことで、より自信を持って会話できるようになります。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
