Some Visitors for Carol Two hours later, a tall man arrived at the hospital.
2
He asked to see the woman in yesterday's street accident.
3
He didn't know her name.
4
The doctor came downstairs.
5
"'Who are you?' she asked the man.
6
"'My name is Pavel Brechter.
7
I saw the accident and I called the ambulance.
8
Is the woman all right?
9
I just wanted to know that.
10
I was afraid she was dead.' The doctor smiled.
11
Would you like to see her?
12
She's much better now.
13
Yes, please, answered Pavel.
14
Then come with me.
15
They went upstairs in the lift and walked along to Carol's room.
16
At the door they stopped and looked in through the window.
17
She's sleeping, said the doctor.
18
But she looks well, said Pavel.
19
Yesterday she looked so white.
20
I was afraid for her.
21
Just then, Carol opened her eyes and saw a man through the window in her door.
22
She sat up.
23
"'Jan!' she shouted.
24
"'Jan!' "'Oh dear,' the doctor said.
25
Not again.' She hit her head in the accident, and she's confused about some things.
26
She thinks that you are her husband from England.
27
Shall I go? asked Pavel.
28
Perhaps it's better.
29
Yes, answered the doctor.
30
She went into Carol's room and closed the door.
31
Pavel walked slowly back to the lift.
32
Then the lift door opened and a man ran out with some beautiful red flowers in his arms.
33
He looked at the numbers of the rooms, and then went quickly into Carol's room.
34
He didn't see Pavel.
35
But an older man came slowly out of the lift next.
36
He saw Pavel and stopped suddenly.
37
Pavel stopped too.
38
I'm sorry, said the old man.
39
My eyes aren't very good.
40
I thought...
41
You see, you look...
42
Yes, I know, said Pavel.
43
I saw your friend.
44
He's not my friend.
45
He's my son.
46
Please tell me.
47
What is your name?
48
Pavel Brichter.
49
The old man looked very afraid.
50
His face went white and his mouth opened and closed.
51
But he said nothing.
52
Now Pavel was afraid.
53
You don't look Very well," he said.
54
Would you like to sit down?
55
And shall I call a doctor?
56
There's a doctor in this room here.
57
Please, said the old man.
58
My son is in that room.
59
Please take me to him.
60
Pavel took the old man's arm.
61
In Carol's room, Jan put the red flowers on the bed and took his wife's hands.
62
Oh, my love, are you alright?
63
He said.
64
I can't understand it.
65
Why did you run in front of a bus?
66
How did it happen?
67
Carol didn't answer his questions.
68
Jan?
69
She looked up into his face.
70
You are Jan?
71
Tell me that you're Jan?
72
Of course I'm Jan.
73
What are you talking about?
74
The doctor came up to the bed.
75
Wait a minute, she said.
76
You told me that your name was Pavel Brichter.
77
Are you Mrs Vlach's husband or not?
78
Just then, Carol looked behind Jan.
79
She saw Pavel with Jan's father through the window of her door.
80
Her eyes got bigger and bigger.
81
Who is that? she said.
82
Jan and the Doctor turned and saw Pavel.
83
My God! said Jan.
84
I don't know.
85
The doctor looked back at Yarn's face.
86
Two men, but only one face, she said quietly.
87
Then Jan's father opened the door of Carol's room, and the two men came in.
88
Jan stood up.
89
He looked at his father.
90
Who is this man? he asked.
91
His name is Pavel Brichter, answered his father.
92
Please bring me a chair and some water.
93
I need to sit down before I can answer your question.
94

95
Then she left the room quietly.

このレッスンで学べること
「Christmas in Prague Chapter 5」のビデオを使って、日常会話のリアルな流れや感情の込められた発音を練習しましょう。病院での出会いや混同された人物関係など、ドラマチックな場面の中で、英語の聞き取りとスピーキングのスキルを向上させます。特に、緊張や驚きの感情を表すイントネーションや、自然な会話のリズムが学べます。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- confused：混乱した。「She's confused about some things」で「彼女はいくつかのことで混乱している」という意味です。
- ambulance：救急車。「called the ambulance」は「救急車を呼んだ」です。
- hit her head：頭を打った。事故での怪我の表現としてよく使われます。
- shouted：叫んだ。感情が激しい時の発声を表します。
- walked slowly back：ゆっくりと戻って行った。動作の様子を詳しく表現します。
練習のコツ
このビデオの会話は、ドラマのような緊張感があり、発言者の感情が濃いので、英語シャドーイングに最適です。まずはビデオを1回見て全体の流れを把握し、次に1文ずつ止めながら、shadow speakのように即座に繰り返しましょう。特に「Jan!」と叫ぶシーンや、老人が恐れを表すシーンは、イントネーションと音量の変化に注目して練習します。
YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、スピードを調整して練習するのも効果的です。最初は0.75倍速で発音を確認し、慣れてきたら通常速度に上げましょう。これはIELTS スピーキング対策にもなり、自然な会話のリズムを身につけることができます。また、「He looked very afraid」のような感情表現のフレーズは、自分の言葉で使えるように暗記しておくと、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、会話力も向上します。
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。
