1
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
2
Five score years ago a great American in whose symbolic shadow we stand today signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
3
This momentous decree came as a great beckoning light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice.
4
It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
5
But one hundred years later the Negro is still not free.
6
One hundred years later the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.
7
One hundred years later the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.
8
One hundred years later the Negro is still languishing in the comers of American society and finds himself in exile in his own land.
9
We all have come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now.
10
Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.
11
Now is the time to change racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
12
Now is the time to make justice ring out for all of God's children.
13
There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted citizenship rights.
14
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline.
15
We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence.
16
Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.
17
And the marvelous new militarism which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers have evidenced by their presence here today that they have come to realize that their destiny is part of our destiny.
18
So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow I still have a dream.
19
It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
20
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.
21
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
22
I have a dream that little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
23
I have a dream today.
24
I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its Governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
25
I have a dream today.
26
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places plains, and the crooked places will be made straight, and before the Lord will be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
27
This is our hope.
28
This is the faith that I go back to the mount with.
29
With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope.
30
With this faith we will be able to transform the genuine discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.
31
With this faith we will be able to work together, pray together; to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom forever, )mowing that we will be free one day.
32
And I say to you today my friends, let freedom ring.
33
From the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire, let freedom ring.
34
From the mighty mountains of New York, let freedom ring.
35
From the mighty Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!
36
Let freedom ring from the snow capped Rockies of Colorado!
37
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California!
38
But not only there; let freedom ring from the Stone Mountain of Georgia!
39
Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain in Tennessee!
40
Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill in Mississippi.
41
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
42
And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last!
43
Free at last!
44
Thank God almighty, we're free at last!"
このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由
マーティン・ルーサー・キングの「I Have a Dream」は、その内容だけでなく、スピーキングにおいても非常に多くの学びを与えてくれます。このスピーチは、英語の発音やイントネーション、感情の表現を学ぶための素晴らしい素材です。具体的な文脈の中で言葉を学ぶことができるため、英語シャドーイングを通じて自分の発話力を向上させることができます。特に、彼が用いる力強いフレーズや感情豊かなトーンは、学習者にとって非常に参考になります。こうしたスピーチを利用することで、実際のコミュニケーションに役立つスキルを身につけることができます。
文法と表現の文脈における分析
- 「I have a dream」: これは繰り返し使用されるフレーズで、強いビジョンを示しています。夢や目標について語る際の表現技法を学ぶ良い例です。
- 「we must」: このフレーズは、義務感や決意を示します。説教やプレゼンテーションで自己主張をするときに役立つ表現です。
- 「one day」: 未来に対する希望や予測を表すフレーズで、長期的なビジョンを伝える際に使うことができます。
- 「let freedom ring」: 繰り返されるフレーズで、強い感情を伴います。感情を込めてスピーキングをするための効果的な手法です。
共通の発音の罠
スピーチには、いくつかの難しい単語やアクセントがあります。特に注意が必要なのは「Negro（ニグロ）」や「brotherhood（ブラザーフッド）」の発音です。また、「justice（ジャスティス）」や「citizenship（シチズンシップ）」のような単語も、正しい発音を意識する必要があります。こうした難しい単語を繰り返し練習することで、発音が改善されるでしょう。英語シャドーイングを活用して、スピーチを真似ることで、より自然な発音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。
