Charlotte's Web Chapter 2 Wilbur
2
Fern loved Wilbur more than anything thing.
3
She loved to stroke him, to feed him, to put him to bed.
4
Every morning as soon as she got up, she warmed his milk, tied his bib on, and held the bottle for him.
5
Every afternoon when the school bus stopped in front of her house, she jumped out and ran to the kitchen to fix another bottle for him.
6
She fed him again at supper time, and again just before going to bed.
7
Mrs. Arable gave him a feeding around noontime each day when Fern was away in school.
8
Wilbur loved his milk, and he was never happier than when Fern was warming up a bottle for him.
9
He would stand and gaze up at her with adoring eyes.
10
For the first few days of his life, Wilbur was allowed to live in a box near the stove in the kitchen.
11
Then when Mrs. Arable complained, he was moved to a bigger box in the woodshed.
12
At two weeks of age, he was moved outdoors.
13
It was apple blossom time and the days were getting warmer.
14
Mr. Arable fixed a small yard specially for Wilbur under an apple tree
15
and gave him a large wooden box full of straw with a doorway cut in it
16
so he could walk in and out as he pleased.
17
Won't he be cold at night? asked Fern.
18
No, said her father.
19
You watch and see what he does.
20
Carrying a bottle of milk, Fern sat down under the apple tree inside the yard.
21
Wilbur ran to her and she held the bottle for him while he sucked.
22
When he had finished the last drop, he grunted and walked sleepily into the box.
23
Fern peered through the door.
24
Wilbur was poking the straw with his snout.
25
In a short time, he had dug a tunnel in the straw.
26
He crawled into the tunnel and disappeared from sight, completely covered with straw.
27
Fern was enchanted.
28
It relieved her mind to know that her baby would sleep covered up and would stay warm.
29
Every morning after breakfast, Wilbur walked out to the road with Fern and waited with her till the bus came.
30
She would wave goodbye to him, and he would stand and watch the bus until it vanished around a turn.
31
While Fern was in school, Wilbur was shut up inside his yard.
32
But as soon as she got home in the afternoon, she would take him out, and he would follow her around the place.
33
If she went into the house, Wilbur went too.
34
If she went upstairs, Wilbur would wait at the bottom step until she came down again.
35
If she took her doll for a walk in the doll carriage, Wilbur followed along.
36
Sometimes on these journeys, Wilbur would get tired, and Fern would pick him up and put him in the carriage alongside the doll.
37
He liked this.
38
And if he was very tired, he would close his eyes and go to sleep under the doll's blanket.
39
He looked cute when his eyes were closed because his lashes were so long.
40
The doll would close her eyes too, and Fern would wheel the carriage very slowly and smoothly so as not to wake her infants.
41
One warm afternoon, Fern and Avery put on bathing suits and went down to the brook for a swim.
42
Wilbur tagged along at Fern's heels.
43
When she waded into the brook, Wilbur waded in with her.
44
He found the water quite cold, too cold for his liking.
45
So while the children swam and played and splashed water at each other, Wilbur amused himself in the mud along the edge of the brook,
46
where it was warm and moist and delightfully sticky and oozy.
47
Every Every day was a happy day, and every night was peaceful.
48
Wilbur was what farmers call a spring pig, which simply means that he was born in springtime.
49
When he was five weeks old, Mr. Arable said he was now big enough to sell and would have to be sold.
50
Fern broke down and wept.
51
But her father was firm about it.
52
Wilbur's appetite had increased.
53
He was beginning to eat scraps of food in addition to milk.
54
Mr. Arable was not willing to provide for him any longer.
55
He had already sold Wilbur's ten brothers and sisters.
56
He's got to go, Fern, he said.
57
You've had your fun raising a baby pig.
58
But Wilbur is not a baby any longer, and he has got to be sold.
59
Pull up the Zuckermans," suggested Mrs. Arable to Fern.
60
Your Uncle Homer sometimes raises a pig, and if Wilbur goes there to live, you can walk down the road and visit him as often as you like.
61
How much money should I ask for him?
62
Fern wanted to know.
63
Well, said her father, he's a runt.
64
Tell your Uncle Homer you've got a pig you'll sell for six dollars and see what he says.
65
It was soon arranged.
66
Fern phoned and got her Aunt Edith, and her Aunt Edith hollered for Uncle Homer, and Uncle Homer came in from the barn and talked to Fern.
67
When he heard that the price was only $6, he said he would buy the pig.
68
Next day, Wilbur was taken from his home under the apple tree
69
and went to live in a manure pile in the cellar of Zuckerman's Barn.

「シャーロットの巣」の温かな日常

このビデオでは、ファーンと子豚ウィルバーの愛情深い日常が描かれています。朝のミルクやり、バス停までの送り出し、川での遊びなど、小さな出来事が自然につながり、英語の「生活の言葉」を感じることができます。YouTubeで英語学習をする際、こうした物語の中の会話や描写は、シャドーイングに最適です。日常的なシチュエーションを通して、自然な発音やリズムを身につけることができるのです。

覚えておきたい便利なフレーズとコロケーション

  • 「stroke him」(彼をなでる): 動物との触れ合いを表す自然な表現。
  • 「gaze up at her with adoring eyes」(愛情深い目で彼女を見上げる): 感情を込めた描写に使えるフレーズ。
  • 「dig a tunnel in the straw」(わらの中に穴を掘る): 具体的な行動を表すコロケーション。
  • 「vanished around a turn」(曲がり角で消える): 移動するものの姿を表す表現。

これらのフレーズは、IELTS スピーキング対策や日常会話でも活躍します。文脈とともに覚えると、使いこなすことができます。

あなたのシャドーイングチャレンジ

さあ、いますぐ「shadow speak」を試してみましょう。ビデオを1分程度再生し、ファーンとウィルバーのやりとり(例えば、朝のミルクの場面)を選びます。音声を聞いたら、すぐに同じ速さ、同じイントネーションで繰り返します。「shadowspeaks」のコツは、息遣いや抑揚を真似ることです。5回繰り返してみて、自分の発音が自然になるか感じてください。この練習は、英語シャドーイングの基本であり、スピーキング力を上げる秘訣です。

YouTubeで英語学習をする際、物語の中の小さな場面を使ったシャドーイングは、楽しみながら上達できる方法です。ぜひ今日から挑戦してみてください。

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。
