Charlotte's Web Chapter 1 Before Breakfast Where's Papa going with that axe?
6
said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.
7
Out to the hog house, replied Mrs. Arable.
8
Some pigs were born last night.
9
I don't see why he needs an axe,
10
continued Fern, who was only eight.
11
Well, said her mother, one of the pigs is a runt.
12
It's very small and weak,
13
and it'll never amount to anything.
14
So your father has decided to do away with it.
15
Do away with it, shrieked Fern.
16
You mean kill it?
17
Just because it's smaller than the others?
18
Mrs. Arable put a pitcher of cream on the table.
19
Don't yell, Fern, she said.
20
Your father's rat.
21
The pig would probably die anyway.
22
Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors.
23
The grass was wet and the earth smelled of springtime.
24
Fern's sneakers were sopping by the time she caught up with her father.
25
Please don't kill it, she sobbed.
26
It's unfair.
27
Mr. Arable stopped walking.
28
Fern, he said gently, you will have to learn to control yourself.
29
Control myself, yelled Fern.
30
This is a matter of life and death,
31
and you talk about controlling myself.
32
Tears ran down her cheeks,
33
and she took hold of the axe and tried to pull it out of her father's hand.
34
"'Fern!' said Mr. Arable.
35
"'I know more about raising a litter of pigs than you do.
36
"'A weakling makes trouble.
37
Now run along.' "'But it's unfair!' cried Fern.
38
"'The pig couldn't help being born small, could it?
39
"'If I had been very small at birth,
40
would you have killed me?' Mr. Arable smiled.
41
"'Certainly not,' he said, looking down at his daughter with love.
42
But this is different.
43
A little girl is one thing.
44
A little runty pig is another.
45
I see no difference, replied Fern,
46
still hanging on to the axe.
47
This is the most terrible case of injustice I ever heard of.
48
A queer look came over John Arable's face.
49
He seemed almost ready to cry himself.
50
All right, he said.
51
You go back to the house,
52
and I'll bring the runt when I come in.
53
I'll let you start it on a bottle, like a baby.
54
Then you'll see what trouble a pig can be.
55
When Mr. Arable returned to the house half an hour later,
56
he carried a carton under his arm.
57
Fern was upstairs changing her sneakers.
58
The kitchen table was set for breakfast,
59
and the room smelled of coffee,
60
bacon, damp plaster, and wood smoke from the stove.
61
Put it on her chair, said Mrs. Arable.
62
Mr. Arable set the carton down at Fern's place.
63
Then he walked to the sink and washed his hands and dried them on the roller towel.
64
Fern came slowly down the stairs.
65
Her eyes were red from crying.
66
As she approached her chair,
67
the carton wobbled, and there was a scratching noise.
68
Fern looked at her father,
69
then she lifted the lid of the carton.
70
There, inside, looking up at her, was the newborn pig.
71
It was a white one.
72
The morning light shone through its ears, turning them pink.
73
He's yours, said Mr. Arable.
74
Saved from an untimely death.
75
And may the good Lord forgive me for this foolishness.
76
Fern couldn't take her eyes off the tiny pig.
77
Oh, she whispered.
78
Oh, look at him.
79
He's absolutely perfect.
80
She closed the carton carefully.
81
First, she kissed her father.
82
Then she kissed her mother.
83
Then she opened the lid again,
84
lifted the pig out, and held it against her cheek.
85
At this moment, her brother Avery came into the room.
86
Avery was ten.
87
He was heavily armed, an air rifle in one hand,
88
a wooden dagger in the other.
89
What's that? he demanded.
90
What's Fern got?
91
She's got a guest for breakfast, said Mrs. Arable.
92
Wash your hands and face, Avery.
93
Let's see it, said Avery, setting his gun down.
94
You call that miserable thing a pig?
95
It's a fine specimen of a pig.
96
It's no bigger than a white rat." "'Wash up and eat your breakfast,
97
Avery,' said his mother.
98
The school bus will be along in half an hour.
99
"'Can I have a pig, too, Pop?' asked Avery.
100
"'No. I only distribute pigs to early risers,' said Mr. Arable.
101
Fern was up at daylight,
102
trying to rid the world of injustice.
103
As a result, she now has a pig.
104
A small one, to be sure, but nevertheless, a pig.
105
It just shows what can happen if a person gets out of bed promptly.
106
Let's eat.
107
But Fern couldn't eat until her pig had had a drink of milk.
108
Mrs. Arable found a baby's nursing bottle and a rubber nipple.
109
She poured warm milk into the bottle,
110
fitted the nipple over the top,
111
and headed it to Fern.
112
Give him his breakfast, she said.
113
A minute later, Fern was seated on the floor in the corner of the kitchen with her infant between her knees,
114
teaching it to suck from the bottle.
115
The pig, although tiny, had a good appetite and caught on quickly.
116
The school bus honked from the road.
117
Run, commanded Mrs. Arable, taking the pig from Fern and slipping a doughnut into her hand.
118
Avery grabbed his gun and another doughnut.
119
The children ran out to the road and climbed into the bus.
120
Fern took no notice of the others in the bus.
121
She just sat and stared out of the window,
122
thinking what a blissful world it was and how lucky she was to have entire charge of a pig.
123
By the time the bus reached school,
124
Fern had named her pet,
125
selecting the most beautiful name she could think of.
126
Its name is Wilbur, she whispered to herself.
127
She was still thinking about the pig when the teacher said,
128
Fern, what is the capital of Pennsylvania?
129
Wilbur, replied Fern dreamily.
130
The pupils giggled.
131
Fern blushed.

この動画でスピーキングを練習する理由
「シャーロットのおくりもの」の第1章は、友情や思いやりの重要性を描いた古典的な物語です。この物語を通じて、英語のスピーキングスキルを向上させるための現実的なコンテキストを提供します。特に父親と娘の対話が含まれており、感情豊かな表現や日常会話で使われるフレーズに親しむことができます。スピーキングの練習をする際に、英語シャドーイングは非常に効果的です。動画を視聴しながら声に出して繰り返すことで、自然なリズムとイントネーションを身につけることができます。
文法と文脈における表現
動画内でのキーとなる文法構造や表現をいくつか取り上げます：
- Where's Papa going with that axe? - これは、現在進行形を使用した質問の一例で、日常会話でよく使われるフレーズです。
- Just because it's smaller than the others? - ここでは「just because」を使って理由を強調する表現が見られます。
- You will have to learn to control yourself. - 未来形でアドバイスする際の典型的な構造です。
- This is a matter of life and death. - 重要性を強調するための表現として、多くのシチュエーションで使えるフレーズです。
これらの表現を覚えて、実際の会話で活用することで、より自然な英語を話せるようになります。ぜひ、shadow speechに取り組んでみてください。
一般的な発音の罠
動画内で注意が必要な発音のポイントをいくつか紹介します：
- axe - この単語は「エックス」と間違って発音されがちですが、正しくは「アックス」です。
- control - 音の連結が難しい言葉で、特に「コントロール」とつづく音を滑らかに発音する練習が求められます。
- unfair - 一部の学習者は「アンフェア」と誤って発音することがありますが、最後の音に注意が必要です。
発音を正確にすることは、コミュニケーションを円滑にし、他者としっかりと意思疎通を図るためには欠かせません。shadowing siteでさらに練習し、スピーキングスキルを高めましょう。
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。
