1
In one of the world's largest king penguin colonies, chicks must be able to make it through the winter without food.
2
This chick can expect one of three fates.
3
Be eaten alive, starved to death, or hang on one more day until their parents return with food.
4
And here they are.
5
Look at all their bellies.
6
They're all stuck.
7
How is it possible that life can come back from the dead?
8
The island of South Georgia was the scene of one of the worst wildlife massacres in history.
9
Species driven to near extinction, the whaling stations were abandoned.
10
This is an awe-inspiring story of how, if given the chance, nature can bounce back on a scale you're not going to believe.
11
My name's Bertie Gregory and I'm a National Geographic wildlife filmmaker.
12
This is Resurrection Island.
13
Less than a hundred years ago, the penguins of South Georgia were being used as kindling for whaling station fires. But now...
14
We've finally made it to St Andrews Bay, you know, the busiest beach on the planet.
15
That's funny.
16
When you read about king penguins on paper, you know, you read, they dive to 300 metres, 1,000 feet in some of the roughest ocean in the world.
17
And then they come back to hear this kind of blizzard, snow-covered mountainous island to breed.
18
And you meet them and they're just totally unfazed.
19
Hello.
20
Some of these adults might not have set foot on land for five months to see their chicks.
21
And with a belly full of fish, that's no easy task.
22
The worst part is over.
23
Just a nice stroll to find the kids.
24
Great, a blubbery roadblock of elephant seals.
25
You ready?
26
Ready.
27
Here we go.
28
Here we go!
29
400,000 king penguins!
30
I mean, my hometown has less people than that!
31
In a way it's almost like a city.
32
It looks to start with like just a mass sprawl of penguins but it's almost organised.
33
I mean you've got that big swimming pool in the middle, prime swimming for a little wash when you're all stinky.
34
Then on the left there's a bunch missing a load of feathers.
35
They're in the process of malting so in our city comparison I guess I guess we could say that was the hospital.
36
And then starts to see a bit of movement, I guess that's their highways through the colony.
37
And then the biggest supermarket in the world, packed full of lanternfish, which is their primary prey here.
38
But my favourite part is the creche.
39
When the chicks are five weeks old, their parents leave them in a kindergarten.
40
Food becomes scarce during the winter, so both of the parents have to go out into the open ocean to hunt.
41
Depending on their luck, they might not return for months.
42
So what do you do when mum and dad aren't home?
43
Get up to no good of course!
44
They just have the most amazing fluffy coats.
45
I mean, with good reason.
46
The adults take over a year to raise the chick, so the chick has to sit here during the austral, the Antarctic winter.
47
So imagine sitting here in blizzards and ice and snow, waiting for mum and dad to bring you food.
48
I mean, I can't feel my fingers, so I kind of wish I was in his coat right now.
49
The parents' absence and the brutal weather conditions make the chicks vulnerable.
50
And that's what the giant petrels are here for.
51
Giant petrels hunt king penguin chicks by spotting a weak one that strayed away from the crash.
52
Luckily this time they have strength in numbers and the giant petrel can't single one out.
53
Finally home each adult calls their chick.
54
And the chick's like, alright, enough with the showing off, now give me some food.
55
And scientists actually found that towards the end of the foraging trips, the bellies of the penguins drop significantly below 37 degrees,
56
which is their normal body temperature.
57
And so they think it's almost like a cool box in their belly to keep the fish fresh, So now, to regurgitate it to the chick.
58
Oh, you totally saw the food come out.
59
That's wicked.
60
Slash a bit gross.
61
Now that the chicks have had a few mouths full, the adults need to go back to the ocean and start again.
62
If only it were as easy as that.
63
They must negotiate a long line of pecky adults protecting their eggs.
64
Go go go, run run run run run, peck peck peck peck.
65
Oh he's getting to the double, that's brilliant, what an awesome tactic.
66
They must get paired together and the one behind is using the one in front as a shield.
67
The front one is getting They're absolutely hammered with the back one.
68
Actually no, the back one's getting hammered too.
69
It's a rubbish tactic. And there they go.
70
Back out to sea, off to get another belly full of fish for their chick.
71
And to think that such a clumsy bird on land can then dive to 300 meters, 1,000 feet, pretty spectacular
72
this place is just unbelievable in 1925 just 1,100 king penguins were counted here and now there are over 400,000.
73
This is what happens when environmental conditions are right
74
and you protect a place and if this isn't justification for looking after wild places then I do not know what is.
75
I'm sorry.
76

このレッスンについて
このレッスンでは、南極の「王ペンギンの都市」についての動画を基に、英語を学ぶ機会を提供します。ペンギンの生態や厳しい冬の環境下での生存戦略について学ぶことで、新しい語彙を習得し、リスニング能力を向上させることが目的です。映像を見ながら発音練習を行うことで、英語の発音を良くするためのスキルを高めることができます。この方法は、shadow speech や shadowspeak として知られ、英語の会話能力を強化するために効果的です。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- King Penguin（王ペンギン）
- Molt（羽が抜ける、脱羽）
- Creche（幼児保育所、子供を預ける場所）
- Austral Winter（南半球の冬）
- Blizzard（吹雪）

練習のヒント
このビデオのスピードとトーンに合わせてshadowing を行うことをお勧めします。初めは動画を見ながら、内容を理解することに集中してください。次に、ナレーションと一緒に声に出して読み上げ、発音を確認しましょう。特に、ペンギンについて語る部分では、感情を込めて声を出すことで、リズムとイントネーションを学ぶことができます。何度も繰り返して練習することで、英語の発音を良くする効果が高まります。また、発音が難しいと感じるフレーズや単語は、スロー再生機能を使用して、正確な音を確認してみましょう。
効果的な練習を行うためには、shadowing site を活用して、他の英語の音声素材でも同様の方法で練習することをおすすめします。
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。
