Chapter 6 Outside the Hospital Merrick had a lot of friends now,
2
but he was more like a child than a man.
3
He could read about things and talk to his visitors, but he could not go out of the hospital by himself.
4
He thought and played like a child.
5
After Christmas, he wanted to go to the theatre.
6
This was very difficult, because I did not want the people in the theatre to see him.
7
But a kind lady from the theatre, Mrs. Kendall, helped us.
8
We bought tickets for a box at the side of the theatre.
9
We went to the theatre in a cab with dark windows, and we went into the theatre by a door at the back, the Queen's door.
10
Nobody saw us.
11
Three nurses sat at the front of the box, and Merrick and I sat in the dark behind them.
12
Nobody in the theatre could see us, but we could see the play.
13
It was a children's Christmas play.
14
Merrick loved it.
15
It was a most wonderful, exciting story.
16
Often he laughed, and sometimes he tried to sing like the children in the theatre.
17
He was like a child.
18
For him, everything in the story was true.
19
Once he was very afraid, because the bad man in the play was angry and had a knife.
20
At first, Merrick wanted to leave the theatre, but I stopped him.
21
Then he was very angry with this bad man in the play.
22
He hit his hand on his chair and stood up and talked to the man, but nobody heard him.
23
When the bad man went to prison, Merrick laughed.
24
Merrick thought the beautiful young lady in the play was wonderful.
25
He wanted to talk to her, too.
26
At the end of the play, he was very happy, because she married a good young man.
27
He remembered this play for a long time, and he talked a lot about the people in it.
28
"'What do you think they did after we left?' he asked me.
29
"'Where do the young lady and the young man live?
30
"'What are they doing now?' "'I don't know,' I said.
31
"'Perhaps they live in the country?' Merrick thought about this for a long time.
32
Then he said, "'Dr. Treves, can I go to the country, please?
33
"'I saw the country once from a train, but I never went there.
34
"'I often read about it in books.
35
"'It's very beautiful, isn't it?
36
"'I would like to see it.' The visit to the theatre was difficult,
37
but a visit to the country was more difficult.
38
But again, one of his new friends helped us.
39
She had a small house in the country, and Merrick could stay in it for the summer, she said.
40
I took Merrick to the country in a train with dark windows, so nobody could see him.
41
Then we went in a cab to the country house.
42
There were a lot of trees near the house, but no people lived near it.
43
A countryman brought food to the house every day, but no people came near it.
44
I stayed with him that night.
45
At night, it was very dark and quiet.
46
In the morning, hundreds of birds sang in the trees, and everything outside the house was green.
47
Merrick walked under the big trees, looking at things happily, and singing his strange song.
48
I went back to London, but Merrick stayed there for six weeks.
49
He was wonderfully happy.
50
Every week, he wrote me a letter.
51
Apple Tree House, West Wycombe, Berkshire, 21 July, 1889.
52
Dear Dr. Treves, I had a wonderful day again today.
53
It was very warm, so I walked under the trees and sat by a stream.
54
The water in the stream made a beautiful noise, like singing.
55
Did you know that?
56
I listened to it for two hours.
57
Lots of little birds came near me.
58
One had a red body in front and a brown back.
59
I gave it some bread, and it sat on my hand.
60
A lot of birds are my friends now.
61
I watched the fish in the stream, too.
62
They were very exciting, because they move very fast.
63
One minute they were there, and the next minute I couldn't see them.
64
But I waited quietly, and they always came back.
65
I put my hand in the water, but I couldn't touch them.
66
I met a big dog yesterday.
67
It made a very loud noise, but I was not afraid.
68
I sat down quietly and looked at it, and it came and smelt my hand.
69
I saw it again today, and gave it some bread.
70
It likes me now.
71
I am going to put some flowers from the country in this letter.
72
There are hundreds of flowers here. Did you know that?
73
I like the little blue ones best, but they are all beautiful.
74
I have lots of them in my room.
75
I give them water every morning.
76
Little flowers are very thirsty, you know.
77
I am very happy here, Doctor, but I want to see you again soon, too.
78
With love from your friend, Joseph Merrick.
79
At the end of the summer, he came back to London.
80
He was very well, and his skin looked much better.
81
He talked about the country a lot, but he was happy to see his friends and his books again, too.
82
Thank you.
83
Thank you.
84
Thank you.

この動画で話す練習をする理由
メリックの物語は、日常的な会話から心のこもった願いまで幅広い場面を含んでいて、英語スピーキング練習に最適です。劇場への訪問や田舎への旅など、具体的なコンテキストの中で自然な表現が使われているので、英語シャドーイングをする際にリアルな会話のリズムやイントネーションを身につけられます。また、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つ、「願いを伝える」「経験を話す」といった重要なスキルを養うことができます。短い時間でも繰り返し練習すれば、自信を持って英語で話せるようになりますよ！
文脈の中の文法と表現
動画の中には、使いやすい表現がたくさんあります。いくつかピックアップしてみましょう。
- 「I would like to...」：メリックが「I would like to see it.」と言っています。これは丁寧に願いを伝える表現で、日常会話やIELTSのスピーキングで頻繁に使えます。
- 過去形の使い方：「He remembered this play for a long time.」のように、過去の出来事を話す際には過去形が不可欠です。物語を語る練習をすることで、自然に過去形を使いこなせるようになります。
- 「Can I...?」：「Can I go to the country, please?」は、相手に許可を求めるときの基本的な表現です。簡単ですが、丁寧な調子で話すことが重要です。
発音の注意点
動画の中には、発音が難しい単語やアクセントがあります。注意して練習しましょう。
- 「theatre」：イギリス英語では「シアター」と発音しますが、アメリカ英語では「シアター」もしくは「シアトル」となります。動画ではイギリス英語の発音が使われていますので、注意して聞き取りましょう。
- 「country」：「カントリー」と発音しますが、「tr」の部分がらくなりがちです。舌を上あごに当てて、はっきりと発音しましょう。
- 「quiet」：「クワイエット」ではなく、「クワイエット」と発音します。最後の「t」は軽く打ちます。
これらのポイントを押さえて、shadowspeak（シャドーイング）を繰り返し練習すれば、英語の発音を良くすることができます。少しずつ進めて、自分のスピーキング力を上げていきましょう！
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。
