1
I'm going through a reading phase at the moment.
2
In fact, I'm addicted to reading.
3
I'm annoying my friends and my family because I'm lugging a book around with me wherever we go.
4
Given I do this, you'd be forgiven for thinking that I'm reading about philosophy.
5
I'm scrubbing up on my Plato or my Descartes or my Simone de Beauvoir, but no. You see, I love fantasy.
6
I love created worlds and I love a map at the start of my book.
7
I love dragons, swords, sorcery and sinister forces swirling in the background.
8
For a long time I wouldn't admit that, because people can tend to be quite snobbish about fantasy, they look down on it.
9
Not the prize -winning magical realism kind, but the kind that I like, which involves elves and dragons and dark lords.
10
It's generally agreed that children can enjoy these made -up worlds, they can enjoy talking beasts and adventures, but when you become an adult, you should turn to proper stuff.
11
Mature, respectable, and written in ornate purple prose.
12
status symbol.
13
And if you read a serious book then you must be a serious person, but those who read fantasy Oh no. But this misses the point of what fantasy is about,
14
and the totemic father figure of the genre, J .R .R.
15
Tolkien, has a lot to say on the topic.
16
This snobbery of those who look down on fantasy has a long pedigree
17
and so much so that in 1947 J .R .R.
18
Tolkien felt the need to write a defense of the genre in a short work he called on fairy stories.
19
can happen, but they are always treated with the utmost seriousness by the reader.
20
When you enter fairy, you do not simply enter a world of make -believe, but instead you perform an act of what Tolkien called sub -creation,
21
in which we form a new world within our wider reality.
22
This imaginary world we create will always go beyond the words on a page.
23
This fantasy realm cannot be caught in a net of words, for it is indescribable.
24
Words alone will never be able realized land of magic and for this we need the ability to sub -create.
25
When we sub -create we create a secondary world into which the mind can enter.
26
This world has its own internal logic, laws and systems.
27
We see, feel and live in this world in a way
28
that goes beyond just reading a book or reading the words on a page.
29
We color in the background details,
30
we add sights, smells and wonders and we And this is why movie adaptations can feel so hollow at times,
31
because Hollywood can never hope to match sub -creation.
32
If you've ever read The Lord of the Rings, you'll know what Tolkien is getting at, because Middle Earth is built with such detail and depth that
33
while this sub -creation can take time and it can take effort, you will feel as if you are in that world.
34
It's really hard to describe, because it's not simply inventing mental images or just using your imagination,
35
it's creating an entire world and living alongside everything that's going on.
36
It means watching the drama, of course, but you are inside the drama as well.
37
Thank you.
38
Subcreation is a fascinating philosophical topic in its own right, but it doesn't get us closer to what the value of fantasy is, what is the value of these books.
39
And for this we must turn to another work of Tolkien's, his essay on Beowulf.
40
Beowulf is not a story about a great siege or some courtly intrigue, it's a poem about a man.
41
And that's the entire point, because for Tolkien the story of Beowulf is about one man's struggle against the great tide of misfortune.
42
Beowulf represents the smallest, briefest flickering of a candle in a great expanse of darkness.
43
And this is exactly what it means to be a hero then and forever.
44
Beowulf is a great poem because it speaks of the dualism in all human life.
45
It's about youth and age, success and failure, of glory and doom.
46
Every person will enjoy the warm, joy -filled days of summer as much as the cold, despairing nights of winter.
47
Everything can swing between light and dark.
48
We will eat, drink and be merry, but tomorrow we shall die.
49
The brilliance of Beowulf and fantasy generally is that the monsters or the villains that they provide, the orcs, the monsters, the dragons, the cruel emperors, the dark wizards,
50
is that while of course they are imaginary, they are also empty vessels into which we can each pour our own nemeses, be that real life or more conceptual.
51
limits of historical periods however important.
52
There is something about great fantasy that emboldens the spirits and it gives a kind of fire to the fight.
53
It's found not only in the words and the plots and the adventure but it's in its atemporality.
54
It tells us that there is something universal to the human condition that ought to be celebrated, sought out and cherished.
55
It's something
56
that is as true for Anglo -Saxons in their snowy mead
57
halls as it is for office drones changing their login passwords with a huff.
58
It says that no matter what monsters we face, we shall overcome and live on.
59
We shall not be defeated.
60
Books of all sorts are escapist.
61
Fictional narratives and made -up characters define any novel.
62
Yet no genres are quite so escapist as science fiction or fantasy.
63
And in that lies their value readable.
64
As Tolkien put it, "I have claimed that escape is one of the main functions of fairy stories, and since I do not disapprove of them,
65
it is plain I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which escape is now so often used.
66
Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home,
67
or if he cannot do so he thinks and talks about other topics and jailers and prison walls?"
68
The ability we all have to read books, imagine worlds
69
and play make -believe is one of the greatest balms any of us can actually have in a world
70
that is often overbearing and full of hardship.
71
Yes, fantasy can take us on an incredible journey, but more than that it gives us the villains
72
and the heroes we need to make sense of the world and to make it just a little bit easier.
73
to live in.

この動画で身につくスピーキングスキル
このクリップを使えば、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立つ2つの重要なスキルが身につきます。まず、「話題を深掘りする」能力です。話者はファンタジーの価値について、トールキンの思想からベオウルフまで広げながら説明しています。これを真似ることで、単なる意見表明ではなく、論理的に展開するスピーチができるようになります。もう一つは「比喩的表現を使う」技術です。「蠟燭の炎」のような比喩を使うことで、抽象的な概念を具体的に伝える力が向上し、リスナーの興味を引きつけることができます。
聞き取りに注意すべき発音・リンキング
ネイティブの発音の特徴を捉えるため、YouTubeで英語学習をする際は以下の点に注目しましょう。まず、「I'm going through」のように、語尾の「g」が軽くなり、「goin' through」と発音されるリダクションです。次に、「scrubbing up on my Plato」では「scrubbing up」が「scrubbin' up」となり、「on my」が「on ma」とリンクされます。さらに、「it's a poem about a man」では「about a」が「abouda」となる連結発音があります。これらを聞き分けることで、リスニング力だけでなく、自然な発音も身につきます。
ネイティブのようなリズムとアクセントを身につける
「shadowing site」を使ってシャドーイングをする際は、話者のリズムとストレスを真似ることが重要です。例えば、「sub-creation」という単語は「サブ-クリエイション」ではなく、「サブクリエイション」と語をつなげて発音し、「creation」の部分にアクセントを置きます。また、「the smallest, briefest flickering of a candle」では、「smallest」「briefest」「flickering」の各単語の最初の音節にストレスをかけ、リズミカルに読み上げます。このように、アクセントとリズムを意識することで、ネイティブらしい流暢な話し方ができるようになります。さあ、今日からシャドーイングを始めて、shadow speechの技術を磨きましょう！
この動画の文法
話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。
| 文型 | 動画での表現 |
|---|---|
| 受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てる | be forgiven · are always treated · cannot be caught |
| 現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している | you've ever read · have claimed |
| 関係詞節 who / which + 節 — 人や物について情報を加える | those who read · those who look |
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。
