Chapter 3 Christine Daillet Monsieur Fermat was right.
2
All Paris talked about the new Margarita in Faust, the girl with the beautiful voice, the girl with the voice of an angel.
3
People loved her.
4
They laughed and cried and called for more.
5
Daae was wonderful, the best singer in the world.
6
Behind the stage, Meg Giry looked at Annie Sorelli.
7
Christine Daae never sang like that before, she said to Annie.
8
Why was she so good tonight?
9
Perhaps she's got a new music teacher, Annie said.
10
noise in the Opera House went on for a long time.
11
In box 14, Philippe, the Comte de Charny, turned to his younger brother and smiled.
12
Well, Raoul, what did you think of Daye tonight?
13
Raoul, the Vicomte de Charny, was 21 years old.
14
He had blue eyes and black hair and a wonderful smile.
15
The Chagny family was old and rich, and many girls in Paris were in love with the young Vicomte.
16
But Raoul was not interested in them.
17
He smiled back at his brother.
18
What can I say?
19
Christine is an angel, that's all.
20
I'm going to her dressing room to see her tonight.
21
Philippe laughed.
22
He was twenty years older than Raoul and was more like a father than a brother.
23
Ah, I understand, he said.
24
You are in love.
25
But this is your first night in Paris, your first visit to the opera.
26
How do you know Christine Di?
27
You remember four years ago when I was on holiday by the sea in Brittany?
28
Raoul said.
29
Well, I met Christine there.
30
I was in love with her then, and I'm still in love with her today.
31
The Comte de Chagny looked at his brother.
32
Hmm, I see, he said slowly.
33
Well, Raoul, remember she is only an opera singer.
34
We know nothing about her family.
35
But Raoul did not listen.
36
To him, good families were not important, and young men never listened to their older brothers.
37
There were many people in Christine Dyer's dressing room that night.
38
But there was a doctor with Christine, and her beautiful face looked white and ill.
39
Raoul went quickly across the room and took her hand.
40
Christine, what's the matter?
41
Are you ill?
42
He went down on the floor by her chair.
43
Don't you remember me?
44
Raoul de Chani, in Brittany.
45
Christine looked at him and her blue eyes were afraid.
46
She took her hand away.
47
No, I don't know you.
48
Please go away.
49
I'm not well.
50
Raul stood up, his face red.
51
Before he could speak, the doctor said quickly, Yes, yes, please go away.
52
Everybody, please leave the room.
53
Mademoiselle Dye needs to be quiet.
54
She is very tired.
55
He moved to the door and soon everybody left the room.
56
Christine Dye was alone in her dressing room.
57
Outside in the passage, the young vicomte was angry and unhappy.
58
How could Christine forget him?
59
How could she say that to him?
60
He waited for some minutes, then, very quietly and carefully, he went back to the door of her dressing room.
61
But he did not open the door, because just then, he heard a man's voice in the room.
62
Christine, you must love me, the voice said.
63
Then Raoul heard Christine's voice.
64
How can you talk like that when I sing only for you?
65
Tonight, I gave everything to you, everything.
66
And now I'm so tired.
67
Her voice was unhappy and afraid.
68
You sang like an angel, the man's voice said.
69
Raoul walked away.
70
So, that was the answer.
71
Christine Daae had a lover.
72
But why was her voice so unhappy?
73
He waited in the shadows near her room.
74
He wanted to see her lover.
75
his enemy.
76
After about ten minutes, Christine came out of her room,
77
alone, and walked away down the passage.
78
Raoul waited, but no man came out after her.
79
There was nobody in the passage, so Raoul went quickly up to the door of the dressing room,
80
opened it, and went in.
81
He closed the door quietly behind him, then called out, Where are you?
82
I know you're in here.
83
Come out.
84
There was no answer.
85
Raoul looked everywhere, under the chairs, behind all the clothes, in all the dark corners of the room.
86
There was nobody there.
87
Thank you.
88
Thank you.
89
Thank you.

シャドーイングのステップバイステップガイド

このビデオの難易度は中程度で、英語シャドーイングの初心者から上級者まで挑戦できます。まず、スピードに合わせて声を出すことが重要です。1回目は動画を聴きながら内容を理解し、2回目は発音の抑揚に注目して繰り返します。特に、shadowspeaksの技術を使うと、単語のつながりや弱音を捉えやすくなります。3回目は自分の声を録音して原音と比較し、英語の発音を良くするためのポイントを見つけましょう。また、感情表現のリズムを真似ることで、自然なスピーキングに近づけます。

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。
