15
Ugh, PBS What's right with them?
16
Why don't you like PBS, Phoebs?
17
Because right after my mom killed herself I was just in this really bad place You know, personally I just thought that it would make me feel better
18
If I wrote to Sesame Street Because they were so nice when I was a little kid
19
No one ever wrote back Well, you know, a lot of those Muppets don't have thumbs All I got was a lousy keychain.
20
And by that time, I was living in a box.
21
I didn't have keys.
22
I'm sorry, Pheebs.
23
I just, you know, I just wanted to do a good deed, like you did with the babies.
24
This isn't a good deed.
25
You just want to get on TV.
26
This is totally selfish.
27
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
28
What about you having those babies for your brother?
29
Talk about selfish.
30
What are you talking about?
31
Well, yeah, it was a really nice thing and all, but it made you feel really good, right?
32
Yeah, so?
33
Well, it made you feel good, so that makes it selfish.
34
Look, there's no unselfish good deeds.
35
Sorry.
36
Yes, there are.
37
There are totally good deeds that are selfless.
38
Well, may I ask for one example?
39
Yeah, it's.. you know, there's...
40
No, you may not.
41
That's because all people are selfish.
42
Are you calling me selfish?
43
Are you calling you people?
44
Yeah, well, sorry to burst that bubble, Pheebs, but selfless good deeds don't exist, okay?
45
And you know the deal on Santa Claus, right?
46
I'm gonna find a selfless good deed.
47
I'm gonna beat you, you evil genius.
48
Okay, Joey, when you said the deal with Santa Claus, you meant...
49
That he doesn't exist.
50
Right.
51
I can't find a selfless good deed.
52
You know that really old guy that lives next door to me?
53
Well, I snuck over there and raked up all the leaves on his friend's stoop, but he caught me and he,
54
like, force-fed me cider and cookies. And I felt wonderful.
55
That old jackass.
56
Maybe Joey's right.
57
Maybe all good deeds are selfish.
58
I will find a selfless good deed, because I just gave birth to three children, and I will not let them be raised in a world where Joey is right.
59
PBS Telethon.
60
Hey, Joey.
61
I just wanted to let you know that I found a selfless good deed.
62
I went down to the park, and I let a bee sting me.
63
What?
64
What is that going to do to anybody?
65
Well, it helps the bee look tough in front of his bee friends.
66
The bee is happy, and I am definitely not.
67
Now, you know the bee probably died after he stung you.
68
Damn it!
69
PBS Telethon.
70
Kind of.
71
Hey, Pheebs.
72
I would like to make a pledge.
73
I would like to donate $200.
74
$200?
75
You sure, Pheebs?
76
I mean, after what Sesame Street did to you?
77
Oh, I'm still mad at them.
78
But I also know that they bring happiness to lots of kids whose moms didn't kill themselves.
79
You know, so by supporting them, I'm doing a good thing, but I'm not happy about it.
80
So they're a selfless good deed.
81
And you don't feel a little good about donating the money?
82
No, it sucks.
83
I was saving up to buy a hamster.
84
A hamster?
85
But those things are like ten bucks.
86
Yeah, not the one I had my eye on.
87

88
Thank you, viewers.
89
And the pledge that did it was taken by one of our volunteers.
90
Oh, boy.
91
And may I say one of our sharpest-dressed volunteers.
92
Mr. Joseph Tribbiani.
93
Oh, look, look, Joey on TV.
94
Isn't that great?
95
Hey, my pledge got Joey on TV.
96
Oh, that makes me feel so...
97
Oh, no!

この動画は誰におすすめ?

日常会話のリアルな流れを学びたい中級レベルの学習者にぴったりです。「利他的な行為」についての議論が白熱する中、自然な口語表現や論争の展開が楽しめます。特に、shadowspeaks(シャドースピーキング)の練習に最適で、リズムやイントネーションを真似ながら会話力を上げたい人におすすめです。

覚えておきたいフレーズとイディオム

  • Vomituxo:吐くことをふざけて言った表現(実際の単語ではないが、口語の遊び心がわかる)
  • good deed:善行、利他的な行為
  • burst that bubble:夢や幻想を打ち破る
  • lousy:つまらない、質の悪い

これらのフレーズは日常会話でよく使われるので、shadow speakの練習で繰り返し発音してみましょう。

発音を上達させるコツ(英語の発音を良くする方法)

ジョーイの発音は伸びやかでリズミカルです。特に「What'd you up to, Joe?」のような縮約形や、「No-no!」のような短い発音のリズムを捉えることが重要です。shadowspeakの技法を使い、動画を1秒ずつ止めて真似してみましょう。また、「selfish」や「selfless」のような似た単語の発音の違い(「selfish」は/ˈsɛlfɪʃ/、「selfless」は/ˈsɛlfləs/)を注意深く聞き分ける練習も効果的です。イントネーションも重要で、フィービーの怒りや不服の感情が発音にどう表れているかを観察しながら練習すると、より自然な会話ができるようになります。

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。
