Chapter 1 The Creature in the Shop My name is Dr. Frederick Treves.
2
I am a doctor at the London Hospital.
3
One day, in 1884, I saw a picture in the window of a shop near the hospital.
4
I stopped in front of the shop and looked at the picture.
5
At first, I felt interested.
6
Then I felt angry.
7
Then afraid.
8
It was a horrible, ugly picture.
9
There was a man in the picture, but he did not look like you and me.
10
He did not look like a man.
11
He looked like an elephant.
12
I read the writing under the picture.
13
It said, Come in and see the elephant man, two pence.
14
I opened the door and went in.
15
There was a man in the shop.
16
He was a dirty man, in an old coat, with a cigarette in his mouth.
17
What do you want? he asked.
18
I'd like to see the elephant man, please, I said.
19
The man looked at me angrily.
20
Well, you can't, he said.
21
The shop's closing now.
22
You can come back tomorrow.
23
I'm sorry, I said, but I would like to see him now.
24
I have no time tomorrow.
25
I have a lot of work to do.
26
But I can give you more than two pence.
27
The man looked at me carefully.
28
Then he took the cigarette out of his mouth and smiled with his yellow teeth.
29
All right, sir, he said.
30
Give me twelve pence, then.
31
I gave him the money, and he opened a door at the back of the shop.
32
We went into a little room.
33
The room was cold and dark, and there was a horrible smell in it.
34
A creature sat on a chair behind a table.
35
I say a creature, because it was not a man or a woman, like you or me.
36
The creature did not move or look at us.
37
It sat very quietly on the chair, in the cold, dark, dirty room, and looked at the table.
38
The creature had a cloth over its head, because of the cold.
39
On the table in front of it, there was a dead flower.
40
Stand up, said the shopkeeper loudly.
41
The creature stood up slowly.
42
It took the old cloth off its head, and put it on the chair.
43
I looked at the creature and felt sad.
44
I am a doctor, so I know a lot about accidents and ill people.
45
I see horrible, ugly things every day.
46
But this creature, this thing, was the worst of all.
47
There were no men or women in the hospital like him.
48
He wore some old trousers, but no shirt, coat or shoes, so I could see his body very well.
49
His head was the most interesting thing.
50
It was very, very big, like an enormous bag with a lot of books in it.
51
The head did not have much hair, and there was another bag of brown,
52
dirty skin at the back of it.
53
This skin came down below his neck.
54
I could not see one of his eyes very well, because a lot of skin came down in front of his face, too.
55
An enormous red tooth came out of his mouth, under his nose.
56
It looked like an elephant's tooth.
57
The mouth and nose were like holes in the face.
58
The face could not smile or laugh or look angry or sad, because the skin could not move.
59
It was dead, like an elephant's face.
60
There were more bags of dirty skin on the front and back of the creature's body.
61
These bags came down to his legs.
62
The right arm was enormous, and there were bags of skin on it, too.
63
The right hand was like a man's foot.
64
But the left hand, the left arm and the left hand, were beautiful.
65
The left arm had wonderful skin, and the fingers of the left hand were long and beautiful.
66
It was like a young woman's hand.
67
Walk, Merrick, said the shopkeeper angrily.
68
Come on, quickly, move.
69
He hit the creature with his hand.
70
Slowly, the creature walked across the room.
71
But he could not walk well.
72
His legs were very big and fat, and he had a bad back.
73
He could not walk far without a stick.
74
All right, thank you, I said.
75
Let him sit down.
76
I don't want to see any more.
77
I felt ill, and the smell in the room was very bad.
78
Yes, sir, said the shopkeeper.
79
Sit down, Merrick.
80
We went out of the room and closed the door.
81
The shopkeeper smiled at me with his yellow teeth.
82
Wonderful, sir, isn't it? he said.
83
The best elephant man in England.
84
Hundreds of people come to see him, you know.
85
Hundreds.
86
I take him all over the country, I do.
87
Yes, very interesting, I said.
88
Can I sit down?
89
Yes, sir, of course.
90
Here's a chair.
91
He looked at me, smiling.
92
Would you like a glass of water, sir?
93
Yes, please, I said.
94
Then I looked at the things in the dirty shop.
95
There were two or three bad apples, and some old black bananas.
96
That was all.
97
Uh, no. No, thank you.
98
I'm all right, I said.
99
Did you.. did you call the creature Merrick?
100
That's right, sir.
101
Joseph Merrick.
102
The best elephant man in England.
103
I take him all over the country, you know.
104
Lots of people want to see him.
105
Yes, I see.
106
Do you get a lot of money?
107
Well, sometimes we do, sir, yes.
108
But it's difficult, you see, sir, because of the police.
109
The police don't like us, you see, sir.
110
So we can't stay in a town very long.
111
We usually move every week.
112
Yes, I see.
113
Well, anyway, Mr...
114
Uh...
115
Silcock, sir.
116
Simon Silcock.
117
Yes, well, Mr. Silcock, I'm a doctor at the London Hospital.
118
My name is Dr. Treves.
119
I think this, uh, this man, Joseph Merrick, is very interesting, and I would like to see him at the hospital.
120
I want to look at him more carefully, you see.
121
Yes, sir.
122
I see.
123
But how can he get to the hospital?
124
It's going to be difficult.
125
Why, man?
126
The hospital's not far from here.
127
Well, yes, sir.
128
I know.
129
But you see, Merrick can't walk very well.
130
He needs help.
131
You can come with him.
132
Do you want more money?
133
Is that it?
134
Well, yes, sir, I do.
135
But you see, people are afraid of him, too.
136
In the road, little boys always run after him and hit him.
137
Then the police get angry, because people are afraid.
138
Sometimes they take us to prison.
139
"'I see,' I said.
140
"'Well, how can he come to the hospital, then?' "'Bring a cab, sir,' said Silcock.
141
"'You can take him to the hospital in a cab.'
142
Thank you.
143
Thank you.

このレッスンについて
このビデオでは、1884年ロンドンの病院医師が見た「象人」の物語が展開されます。英語スピーキング練習に最適な、緩やかなスピードの会話と叙述が特徴です。物語の展開に合わせて感情の変化や情景描写を表現する言葉遣いを学び、発音やイントネーションの練習にも役立ちます。YouTubeで英語学習を進める方にとって、リアルな文脈の中で語彙や文法を身につける好機です。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- horrible：恐ろしい、ひどい。情景や感情を強く表現する形容詞で、IELTS スピーキング対策でも頻出です。
- creature：生き物、怪物。人間とは異なる存在を表す言葉で、物語の神秘的な雰囲気を作り出します。
- 「I felt interested. Then I felt angry. Then afraid.」：興味を持ち、次に怒り、そして怖くなる。感情の変化を自然に表現するフレーズで、スピーキングでの流れを練習できます。
- enormous：巨大な。物の大きさを強調する形容詞で、発音時には「e-ノーマス」となることに注意しましょう。
- 「What do you want?」：何が欲しいのですか？ 日常会話でよく使われる質問文で、イントネーションの上げ方が重要です。
練習のヒント
shadow speech（シャドーイング）を行う際は、ビデオのスピードに合わせて声を出して繰り返しましょう。このビデオは語彙が豊かですが、スピードが緩やかなので、初心者でも追いやすいです。特に感情の変化を表す部分（interested→angry→afraid）は、イントネーションを変えて発音することで、より自然な表現が身につきます。また、「horrible」「enormous」などの長い単語は、発音を分解して練習し、英語の発音を良くすることができます。繰り返し練習することで、会話のリズムとフローを掴み、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つ実力が養われます。
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。
