シャドーイング練習: Finding Hope in a Fractured World | Joshua Luke Smith (Spoken Word) - 動画で英語スピーキングを学ぶ

We have killed our prophets, and we have killed for profits.

We have lost our sense of the transcendent, and it has cost us our conscience.

In those days, men will become like monsters trading honesty for nonsense,

tying nooshes around the necks of anyone who refuses to bow before Molech.

There must be more.

There must be more There must be more

Rome wasn't built in a day But I bet they built Babel in a morning

See we have become laborers Hell bent on taking heaven's glory We have forgotten

that better story

So this day is a good time for mourning As the

light of a blood moon adorns the coming dawn This day is a good time for the gnashing of teeth

For the people to speak of their wounds and defeat

for what could be worse for our children's children than the inheritance of ungrieved grief.

The rivers of blood, they run red in our streets, for we have concreted over the Euphrates.

Now we live east of Eden and south of Hades.

I saw a mother clutching her babies, praying to a God she doesn't believe in,

but where else is she to turn when she's being forced to sacrifice her children on an altar to hedonism?

Here's the meaning, freedom ain't free unless it costs you.

And you can't bear the weight of liberation if you can't carry a cross too.

Walking up a hill shaped like a skull in nothing other than God's shoes.

We come from dust.

Yet unlike those statues of clay that one day will rust, to quote Sagan, we are made of star stuff,

yet like pagans we have traded love for lust, leaning upon a crutch of our self-sufficiency,

trying to heal a wound with the same consciousness that caused it.

So how can man live differently?

I submit that we must return to a vision that we forgot, a vision that we lost in our infancy.

You You know when fairytales were true?

What was it that C.S.

Lewis mused?

May you believe in those old stories again, where dragons are slain and goodness prevails, and heaven and earth are separated by no more than a veil,

or a wardrobe, or a desk, or no less a heart that cannot help but confess there must be more, there must be more, there must be more.

So here we are gathered, battle-ragged, and backstabbed, gagged and dragged through trenches with arrows in our backs and rations in our sacks,

bruised, bloodied and blackened with hands calloused from stacking bricks upon bricks upon bricks.

But we are mystics, those who have seen a great vision where one day even this day of great darkness will itself be eclipsed.

And in the midst of the rubble will stand not a tower or a temple of power but a humble Ebenezer.

The evidence of good and faithful work, the evidence of a redeemer, and generations from now, they will not know our names,

but we pray that they have been carried on our backs and spurred on by our claim that there must be more.

There must be more.

Thank you.

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。
