Anne of Green Gables.
2
Chapter 1.
3
Mrs. Lynde is Surprised.
4
Mrs. Rachel Lynde lived on the main road in Avonlea,
5
a town on Prince Edward Island,
6
off the coast of Canada.
7
Anybody who was coming to or leaving Avonlea had to use the main road and pass by the Linn's house.
8
Mrs. Lynde was always watching from her kitchen window.
9
Mrs. Lynde sat at her window one afternoon in early June.
10
At half past three, Matthew Cuthbert was driving his buggy down the road.
11
He wore his best suit.
12
Matthew should be planting turnip seeds now,
13
like Mr. Lynde, thought Mrs. Lynde.
14
But instead, he is in his buggy and dressed in his best suit.
15
Where is Matthew Cuthbert going, and why?
16
If it was any other man in Avonlea,
17
Mrs. Lynn might be able to guess where he was going.
18
But Matthew Cuthbert so rarely left home that it had to be something unusual.
19
He was the shyest man alive and hated to go anywhere he might have to talk.
20
I'll just go to Green Gables and ask his sister Marilla where he's gone, she decided.
21
After hearing, Come in! from Marilla,
22
Mrs. Lynn stepped into the kitchen.
23
She looked carefully at everything on the table.
24
There were three plates, so Marilla must have been expecting a visitor to come home with Matthew.
25
But the dishes were everyday dishes,
26
and the cake was plain,
27
so the expected visitor could not be anybody too important.
28
Good evening, Rachel, Marilla greeted Mrs. Lynde.
29
This is a lovely evening, isn't it?
30
Won't you sit down?
31
How are you?
32
Marilla was tall and thin.
33
Even though she looked stern,
34
she did have a sense of humor.
35
We're well, said Mrs. Lynde.
36
Though I thought you weren't well when I saw Matthew in the buggy today.
37
Marilla had expected Mrs. Lynde to visit because Mrs. Lynde was a curious person person.
38
Matthew went to Bright River, Marilla said.
39
We're getting a little boy from an orphanage,
40
and he's coming on the train tonight.
41
If Marilla had said that Matthew had gone to meet a kangaroo from Australia,
42
Mrs. Lind could not be more surprised.
43
She actually stopped talking for five seconds.
44
Why on earth would you do that?
45
She asked disapprovingly.
46
We've been thinking about it for some time.
47
All winter, in fact, replied Marilla.
48
Matthew is growing older.
49
He's sixty, and his heart is not so good.
50
It's difficult to hire someone to do farm work.
51
Mrs. Lynde always said what she thought.
52
In this case, it was,
53
Well, Marilla, I think you're doing a very foolish thing.
54
You're bringing a strange child into your house and you don't know a thing about him.
55
Last week in the newspaper,
56
it said that a family took an orphan boy and he set fire to the house at night,
57
on purpose, Marilla, and nearly burnt them in their beds.
58
Marilla was neither offended nor alarmed.
59
Meanwhile, Matthew Cuthbert and the horse jogged the ten kilometers to the station.
60
It was a pretty road,
61
and the air was sweet with the smell of apple and plum blossoms.
62
When Matthew arrived, there was no train,
63
and he thought he was early.
64
The long platform was almost deserted,
65
except for a girl sitting at the end.
66
Matthew walked quickly past her to the station office.
67
The 5.30 train is gone,
68
but there was a passenger for you,
69
a little girl, said the station master.
70
I'm not expecting a girl, said Matthew, surprised.
71
It's a boy I've come for.
72
The station master raised his eyebrows.
73
Well, I guess there's some mistake.
74
Mrs. Spencer came off the train with that girl.
75
She said you and your sister,
76
Marilla, were adopting the girl from an orphanage.
77
The girl watched Matthew.
78
She was 11 years old and dressed in a very old and very ugly dress.
79
On her head was a worn-out brown hat.
80
Under the hat were two braids of very thick, very red hair.
81
Her face was small, white,
82
and thin, and she had many freckles.
83
I suppose you are Mr. Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables?" she said in a clear, sweet voice.
84
She held out her hand.
85
I'm very glad to see you.
86
I was afraid you weren't coming for me.
87
I had decided if you didn't come for me,
88
I'd climb up that big, wild cherry tree.
89
It would be lovely to sleep in a wild cherry tree under the moon, don't you think?
90
Matthew shook the little hand awkwardly and wondered what to say.
91
Matthew could not say there was a mistake.
92
He would take her home and let Marilla explain everything.
93
I'm sorry I was late, he said shyly.
94
Come along.
95
The horse is over in the yard.
96
Oh, I'm very glad you came, the girl said.
97
Even if it would be nice to sleep in a cherry tree,
98
it's wonderful I'm going to live with you and belong to you.
99
I've never belonged to anybody, not really.
100
The girl kept talking as they drove down the main road.
101
"'Isn't it beautiful?' she said.
102
"'I've always heard that Prince Edward Island is the prettiest place in the world.
103
I used to imagine living here,
104
but I never expected I actually would.
105
Am I talking too much?' she went on.
106
"'People always tell me I do.
107
If you say so, I'll stop.
108
I can stop, though it is difficult.
109
Surprisingly, Matthew was enjoying himself.
110
He'd never expected to enjoy the company of a young girl.
111
He said shyly, Oh, you can talk as much as you like.
112
I don't mind.
113
I'm so glad.
114
You and I will get along just fine.
115
I feel nearly perfectly happy.
116
I can't feel perfectly happy because,
117
well, what color is this?
118
The girl held up one of her braids.
119
It's red, isn't it?
120
He said.
121
Ah, yes, it's red, she said, sighing.
122
Now you see why I can't be perfectly happy.
123
Nobody with red hair can be perfectly happy.
124
We're near home now, Matthew said uneasily.
125
As they approached Green Gables,
126
he did not think about Marilla or himself or the mistake.
127
He thought only about the child's disappointment when she discovered the truth.
128
Marilla opened the door.
129
She saw the odd girl in the ugly dress with long red braids and big eyes.
130
Matthew Cuthbert, who's that?
131
She said.
132
Where's the boy?

このビデオで話す練習をする理由
「赤毛のアン」のエピソードを通して英語を学ぶことは、特にお話の内容に興味がある人々にとって非常に効果的です。登場人物の感情や状況を理解することで、自然な対話の流れをつかむことができます。また、アンのように日常会話を通じて特定の感情を表現する方法を学ぶことで、英語スピーキング練習がより楽しくなります。このビデオは、実用的な表現や構文を含んでいるため、shadow speakのアプローチを通じて、あなたのコミュニケーション能力を高める手助けをします。
文法と文脈における表現
このビデオからは、いくつかの重要な文法構造を学ぶことができます:
- 過去形の使用 - 例えば、「Matthew went to Bright River」では、過去に何が起こったのかを伝えています。過去形を使うことで、相手に出来事の時間的な距離感を示すことができます。
- 疑問文の構造 - 「Why on earth would you do that?」のような表現は、驚きや疑問を伝えるのに効果的です。相手の意見や行動に対する反応を示すために使えます。
- 連続する会話の流れ - 例えば、「It's difficult to hire someone to do farm work」というフレーズでは、情報を説明する中で会話を続けています。このような自然な流れを理解することで、自分の話し方が豊かになります。
これらの文法構造を完璧に理解し、実践することで、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、より効果的にコミュニケーションを取ることができるようになります。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
このビデオにいくつかの発音のトラップがあります。特に注意が必要な単語やフレーズをいくつかご紹介します:
- 「Matthew」 - 「マシュー」とつづりは似ていますが、「マシュー」ではなく「マシス」になりがちです。正確に発音することが大切です。
- 「orphanage」 - この単語は非常に難しい発音を持っています。「オーファネージ」という発音を心がけ、明瞭に伝えましょう。
- 「a little boy」 - ここでは、「リトル」を強調しすぎないように注意する必要があります。流れるように発音することで、より自自然に聞こえるようになります。
これらの発音のポイントに注意しながら、shadowspeaksの技法を利用して練習することが、スピーキング能力を向上させる秘訣です。
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。
