7
Two years ago, I launched a campaign called He for She at the UN in New York.
8
I was very nervous before that speech.
9
The nerves were followed by a tremendous high immediately afterwards and a crashing low a few days after that.
10
My best hopes and my worst fears were confirmed all at once.
11
I had opened Pandora's box to a standing ovation
12
and almost simultaneously a level of critique I had never experienced in my life
13
and the beginning of what would become a series of threats.
14
The last two years have been a baptism of fire,
15
to say the least, where I learnt just how little I know and also how much.
16
It was my scary first step as an activist, a word I never imagined that I would use to describe myself.
17
So reading the applications of activists who applied here for One Young World Scholarships was surprising to me.
18
Here I was reading the stories of people from nearly 200 different countries from around the world with experiences
19
that I couldn't even imagine.
20
I mean, I really They were so out of this world to me.
21
And yet, their notes looked like my notes.
22
The same themes emerged over and over and over again.
23
There was so much overlap with the things that I had been thinking about and that I had been struggling with.
24
Because the truth is, it had never been about being an activist.
25
It was about the choice to make myself visible, and the choices that you made to do that too.
26
Apart from the significant progress the world has made in the cause for equality, the best thing about the last two years has been this.
27
finding people from such disparate experiences and communities that I found that I have something in common with.
28
This is a community of artists, spiritual teachers, dreamers, thinkers, doers,
29
who work together and support each other.
30
For the first time in my life, I found my sisterhood, a brotherhood, whatever, however you want to describe it.
31
I found my tribe.
32
My hope for you while you're here is that you will find some of your tribe too.
33
I really needed mine.
34
Bobby Kennedy, when he was senator for New York, said,
35
each time a man or woman stands up for an ideal
36
or acts to improve the lots of others or strikes out against injustice,
37
he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy,
38
those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest wall of oppression and resistance.
39
That's what we are doing.
40
We, the entire spectrum of the feminist movement,
41
are building an unstoppable current for which we need ripples of hope from every age,
42
race, ability, walk of life, from every human experience.
43
I feel gender equality is as important as any of the other goals that we are here to discuss.
44
And actually, if anything, it is even more important because it intersects with every single other issue that we face.
45
We all have feminine and masculine energies within us.
46
And both forces need to be lifted up, respected.
47
They need to work together in order to make the world go round.
48
Each of you are here at One Young World because you do something important.
49
And it is so exciting to see you all come together in one room room
50
because One Young World isn't about saying what I, each of us individually can do, but what we can do.
51
Working together, supporting and listening to each other.
52
It's in that spirit
53
that I am delighted to introduce nine activists who were the first recipients of a One Young World Scholarship
54
that I am very honoured to have in my name.
55
They are working to secure real progress
56
towards a gender equal world and I hope that their stories will inspire you as much as they have inspired me.
57
In a moment I'm going to ask them to come onto the stage but before I do
58
I want to offer a few statements of my own
59
that I have struggled with and continue to struggle with on a daily basis, but that I have found inspiring.
60
I want to ask you to take a moment,
61
you can keep your eyes closed or keep them open and ask yourself if these have any truth for you in them.
62
I am willing to be seen.
63
I am willing to speak up.
64
I'm willing to keep going.
65
I'm willing to listen to what others have to say.
66
I'm willing to go forward even when I feel alone.
67
I am willing to go to bed each night at peace with myself.
68
I am willing to be my biggest, bestest, most powerful self.
69
These seven statements scare the absolute shit out of me.
70
But I know that they are at the crux of it all.
71
At the end of the day, and when all is said and done,
72
I know that these are the ways that I want to have lived my life.
73
I know each one of you probably will have encountered one of these statements in the last 48 hours.
74
And if you have, thank you for being here.
75
I appreciate it.
76
It's truly an honour to be here with you all.
77
Thank you.
78
Thank you.
79
you
この動画で話す練習をする理由は何ですか？
エマ・ワトソンのスピーチは、自己表現とコミュニケーションの重要性について深い洞察を与えてくれます。彼女の勇気や決意を語る姿勢は、自己啓発の典型的なメッセージを持っています。このような内容に触れることで、英語を学ぶ人たちは、自分の意見を表現する力を高めるだけでなく、話すことへの自信をも得ることができます。特に「shadow speech」や「shadowspeak」といった技術を活用することによって、彼女の発音やリズムを模倣することができ、英語の発音を良くする助けになります。
文法と表現の文脈
- “I am willing to…” - このフレーズは、意欲や覚悟を示す表現で、条件文や未来の意志を考えるときに非常に役立ちます。
- “I had opened Pandora's box…” - この比喩は、ある行動が意図しない結果を引き起こすことを示しています。これにより、効果的な比喩の使い方が学べます。
- “build a current that can sweep down…” - ここでは、力強い未来志向のイメージを喚起する表現が使われています。動詞の選び方や形容詞の使い方に注意を払うことで、表現力を向上させることができます。
- “each time a man or woman stands up…” - この構文は、何かを行うたびに結果をもたらすという概念を伝えています。頻繁に使われる構造なので、覚えておきましょう。
一般的な発音のつまずき
エマ・ワトソンの発音には、特に注意が必要な点がいくつかあります。たとえば、“oppression”という言葉は、特に多音節の単語であり、発音する際に音を切り分けることが難しいかもしれません。また、“current”も発音が似た音を持つため、混乱する原因となります。“tribe”や“ideal”のような単語も、アクセントの位置に注意を払うことで、よりクリアに発音ができるようになります。
これらのポイントを意識しながら、動画を通じて「shadow speak」を実践することで、英語の発音を良くするための具体的なスキルを身につけていきましょう。
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。
