1
First of all, congratulations.
2
I mean, and this is incredible.
3
Like, to have the three of you in the same room, on the same screen, what a delight.
4
It was so lovely.
5
I know your first go around, some of the kids came on set.
6
This time, they're a bit more grown up and everything.
7
So, like, they get what you do.
8
They get that this is your job and everything like that.
9
But when they see the billboards and the magazine covers and all of that, like, do they understand that part of it as well?
10
It's fun.
11
It's not.
12
The good thing, I think, is I've wanted them to be exposed to it all so they don't feel like it's not something that they're involved in, it's not a part of their life, but it's not important to them and the center of their lives in a way that's unhealthy, so it's all fun.
13
Right.
14
As a mother, how do you relate to her in the sense of, oh, like finding that balance of letting your kids do what they wanna do, especially now that you have teenagers, but still being the protective mama bear.
15
Like, there is a balance there, I feel like.
16
Yes.
17
There is.
18
I think, but I think, I think I have an easier time at the Maleficent.
19
I think this is, she is, it is very hard for her.
20
Also, she's, she just really doesn't trust humans.
21
And Angie, for you slipping back into this delicious character, is it just as exciting the second time around?
22
Yes, and different, and fun in different ways, because the first time was such an exploration, but, and you were younger, and it was so fun, and she's so sweet, and it's a lot of fun, And now it is, you know, we are family.
23
We have a different relationship.
24
And so the way we can spar and play and go deeper.
25
And now I get to work with Michelle.
26
So it became a whole new experience for me.
27
It's always nice when you're with actors, you respect and you get to play.
28
And you have something you get to kind of chew up a little bit together.
29
We laughed a lot.
30
And, you know, you can't really get through scenes like that where you can't get up, you're sort of stuck there really the majority of the day.
31
And you also do have those moments where you just think, it is that you are actors and you have those moments where you think, look at us, look at what we're doing, look at our jobs.
32
You're in horns.
33
Michelle Finkler is yelling at me and I'm a giant fairy.
34
What about you, Elle, coming back for Aurora at this time in her life?
35
Yeah, I think, well, yeah, I mean, the first time, you know, I was 14 when I did the first film, and now I'm 21.
36
So, like, in my life, a lot's changed.
37
I mean, I've got three generations of incredible women who've had extremely successful careers already, but if there was anything that you could say to your younger self, knowing what you know now, what would it be?
38
I think I wish that I had not been so frightened for a lot of the earlier part of my career, just in terms of learning how to adjust to being famous and losing my privacy.
39
and I think in all, I mean, I always loved acting.
40
I always loved being on the set and, you know, making movies.
41
But I think that part of it was hard for me, and I wish I had just been a little more relaxed about it, I think.
42
That's really good advice.
43
Angelina?
44
God, I don't know.
45
I really don't know.
46
I was sitting here thinking, because I think you just, you have to make all the mistakes.
47
You have to go through everything.
48
you have to just, because everything somehow leads to something else, and it's you.
49
So I would just, like, hang on.
50
That's what I would say.
51
Hang on.
52
Just hang on.
53
Strap yourself in.
54
Hang on.
55
It'll be okay.
56
You're going to love being a mom.
57
Aww.
58
You know?

この動画で話す練習をする理由

この動画は、Angelina Jolieと彼女のキャリアについての貴重な見解を提供しています。彼女が自らの経験を語ることで、視聴者は彼女の感情や思考のプロセスを理解することができます。これは、英語学習者にとって非常に有益です。特に、彼女の言葉には、母親としての葛藤やキャリアの成長に関する深い洞察が含まれています。

このようなコンテキストで話す練習をすることで、英語の自然なリズムや表現を身につけることができ、プレゼンテーションスキルや会話力の向上につながります。特に、英語シャドーイングを通じて彼女の言葉を模倣することで、箇所ごとの発音やイントネーションを磨くことができます。

文法とコンテキストにおける表現

この動画では、いくつかの重要な文法構造と表現が使われています。以下にその一部を紹介します：

  • 「I wish I had...」 - このフレーズは過去の後悔を表現する際によく使われます。例えば、「I wish I had been more relaxed」（もっとリラックスしていればよかった）という表現は、自分の感情を効果的に伝えます。
  • 「you have to make all the mistakes」 - このフレーズは、経験から学ぶ重要性を強調しています。「すべての間違いを犯す必要がある」という意味で、挑戦を恐れない大切さを示しています。
  • 「it's all fun」 - カジュアルな言い回しですが、ポジティブな印象を与え、会話を軽やかに保ちます。

これらの表現を理解し使うことで、日常会話やプレゼンテーションで効果的に自分の考えを伝えられるようになります。

共通の発音の罠

この動画の中で、発音において注意すべき点がいくつかあります：

  • 「Maleficent」 - 多くの日本人学習者は「マレフィセント」と発音しますが、正しい発音は「マレフィセント」です。母音の発音が変わることで異なる印象を与えます。
  • 「actors」 - この単語の終わりの「s」の発音に注意が必要です。特に英語の母音の影響で「アクタズ」と発音しがちですが、はっきりとした「タ」を意識しましょう。
  • アクセントの変化 - 彼女の話し方には、感情の表現に基づくアクセントの変化が見られます。特に感情を込めた時の声のトーンを模倣することで、より自然な会話に近づけます。

動画を視聴しながらこれらの発音やアクセントに注意を払い、YouTubeで英語学習する際に英語の発音を良くするための練習ができます。

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。
