Excuse me, my app just said my flight is delayed.

すみません、アプリで今、私の便が遅れていると出たんですが。

I'm afraid so. There's a problem with the plane.

申し訳ありませんが、そうなんです。機体に問題がありまして。

Oh no. How long is the delay going to be?

えっ、そんな。どのくらい遅れるんですか？

Right now, it's about four hours. I'm really sorry.

今のところ、約4時間です。本当に申し訳ありません。

Four hours? But I'm supposed to be home for dinner!

4時間？でも、夕食までに家に帰らなきゃいけないんです！

Okay, don't worry. Let's look at your options together.

大丈夫ですよ、ご心配なく。一緒に選択肢を見てみましょう。

There's a later flight at seven thirty with open seats.

夜7時30分の便なら、空席があります。

Seven thirty... Then I'll miss dinner completely.

7時30分…。それじゃ夕食には全然間に合わないな。

Or would you like to go on standby for the two fifteen?

それとも、2時15分の便のキャンセル待ちにされますか？

Standby? What does that mean, exactly?

キャンセル待ち？具体的にはどういうことですか？

If someone doesn't show up, you get their seat.

誰かが来なかったら、その席に乗れるんです。

Hmm, and if nobody misses the flight?

うーん、もし誰も乗り遅れなかったら？

Then you're still booked on the seven thirty. You can't lose.

その場合も7時30分の便の予約はそのままです。損はありませんよ。

Okay. Put me on the standby list, please.

わかりました。キャンセル待ちに入れてください。

Hi, sweetie! Are you at the airport yet?

もしもし！もう空港に着いた？

Yeah... but my flight's been delayed by four hours.

うん…でも、飛行機が4時間も遅れてるの。

Four hours? Oh, honey, that's awful! Will you make it for dinner?

4時間？まあ、ひどいわね！夕食には間に合うの？

Well, I'm on standby for an earlier flight...

えっと、もっと早い便のキャンセル待ちはしてるんだけど…

Okay, don't worry. We'll save you some pumpkin pie.

わかった、心配しないで。パンプキンパイ、取っておくからね。

Ha, I guess we're both stuck here, huh?

はは、お互い足止めみたいですね。

Looks like it. Are you on standby for the two fifteen?

みたいですね。2時15分の便のキャンセル待ちですか？

Yep! I've flown standby before. It usually works out.

ええ！前にもキャンセル待ちで乗ったことがあります。たいていうまくいきますよ。

So, where are you heading for Thanksgiving?

それで、感謝祭はどちらへ？

Chicago! My grandma makes the best sweet potato pie!

Chicagoです！祖母のスイートポテトパイが最高なんですよ！

Okay, standby passengers! We've got two seats on this flight.

キャンセル待ちのお客様！この便に2席空きが出ました。

Ms. Lopez and Mr. Hayes, please come to the counter.

Lopez様、Hayes様、カウンターまでお越しください。

Wait, that's us! We both got seats!

待って、私たちです！二人とも乗れますよ！

Yes! Grandma's pie, here I come!

やった！おばあちゃんのパイ、今行くよ！

Oh my goodness, you made it! Come here, sweetie!

まあ、間に合ったのね！こっちにおいで！

Hi, Mom! Sorry I missed dinner.

ただいま、ママ！夕食に間に合わなくてごめんね。

Oh, come on. You're just in time for dessert!

何言ってるの。ちょうどデザートの時間よ！

Is that pumpkin pie? This is the best Thanksgiving ever!

それ、パンプキンパイ？最高の感謝祭だわ！

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。
