Reza Zahra Reviewer Thank you.
2
Thank you so much.
3
Thank you.
4
It's quite overwhelming.
5
Thank you to the members of the Academy for this honor my dear friends who are here tonight
6
Jenna and George For your kind words to my hero Louie Zamperini
7
You cast of blood and honey and most of all to my family
8
My love Your support and your guidance make everything that I do possible.
9
Mad, I'm not going to cry, I promise.
10
I won't embarrass you.
11
You and your brothers and sisters are my happiness.
12
And there is no greater honor in this world than being your mom.
13
I'm very humbled to be here tonight among so many extraordinary artists.
14
My mother loved art.
15
She loved film.
16
She supported any crazy thing I did, but whenever it had meaning, she made a point of telling me that is what film is for.
17
And she never had a career as an artist.
18
She never had the opportunity to express herself beyond her theater class.
19
But she wanted more than for herself.
20
She wanted for Jamie and I to know what it is to have a life as artists.
21
And she gave us that chance.
22
She drove me to every audition and she would wait in the car for hours, always make me feel really good.
23
All the times I didn't get the job.
24
And when I did, we would jump up and down and scream and yell like little girls.
25
She wasn't really the best critic, since she never had anything unkind to say.
26
But she did give me love and confidence,
27
and above all she was very clear that nothing would mean anything if I didn't live a life of use to others.
28
And I didn't know what that meant for a long time.
29
I came into this business young and worried about my own experiences,
30
my own pain, and it was only when I began to travel and look and live beyond my home, did I understand my responsibility to others.
31
When I met survivors of war and famine and rape, I learned what life is like for most people in this world.
32
And how fortunate I was to have food to eat, a roof over my head, a safe place to live,
33
and the joy of having my family safe and healthy.
34
and I realized how sheltered I had been, and I was determined never to be that way again.
35
We are all, everyone in this room, so fortunate.
36
I have never understood why some people are lucky enough to be born with the chance
37
that I had to have this path in life, and why across the world there's a woman just like me,
38
with the same abilities and the same desires, the same work ethic and love for her family,
39
who would most likely make better films and better speeches.
40
only she sits in a refugee camp and she has no voice.
41
She worries about what her children will eat, how to keep them safe, and if they'll ever be allowed to return home.
42
I don't know why this is my life and that's hers.
43
I don't understand that, but I will do as my mother asks
44
and I will do the best I can with this life to be of use.
45
And to stand here today means that I did as she asked, and if she were alive, she'd be very proud.
46
So thank you.

この動画でスピーキングを練習する理由

この動画では、アンジェリーナ・ジョリーが公益活動について語っているため、英語での実践的なスピーキングスキルを向上させる絶好の機会です。彼女のスピーチは、感情がこもった表現や、社会的な責任についての深い理解にあふれています。shadowspeakの手法を用いて、彼女の発音やフレージングを真似することで、感情を込めた英語の話し方を学ぶことができます。また、IELTS スピーキング対策としても、彼女の表現力豊かなスピーチを分析し、実践することが非常に有益です。

文法と表現の文脈

アンジェリーナのスピーチには、いくつか重要な文法構造や表現が含まれています。以下のポイントに注意してみましょう：

  • 過去形の使用：彼女は母親の影響について話す際に、過去形を使っています。「She drove me to every audition...」など、思い出を語る時の表現力を学ぶことができます。
  • 接続詞の活用：複雑な感情や考えを伝えるために「but」「and」を多用しています。これにより、文を滑らかにつなげ、自然な会話を形成する方法を実践できます。
  • 感情表現：「I was determined never to be that way again.」のような強い意志を表現する文は、感情を伴うスピーキングに役立ちます。

一般的な発音の落とし穴

このスピーチには特に注意すべき発音のポイントがいくつかあります。たとえば、「fortunate」「expression」などの単語は、英語として滑らかに発音するのが難しい場合があります。英語シャドーイングを実施する際は、これらの単語の発音を何度も繰り返すことで、口の動きをマスターできます。また、感情がこもったフレーズを練習することで、より自然なアクセントを身につけることができるでしょう。YouTubeで英語学習をする際には、こういった動画を利用して「shadow speak」の技術を磨くことが重要です。

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。
