1
How many grandchildren do you have?
2
Two. - This is your daughter? - Yes - Are they both her children? - No.
3
Just one of them?
4
Yes. And this is your soon-to-be former son-in-law?
5
Hopefully, yes.
6
And this is his sister?
7
Yes. You're suing your son-in-law and his sister because you say that they won't return to you some clothing that you purchased for your granddaughter while your granddaughter was at least some time in-- Mr. Menter?
8
Correct Mr. Menter's custody.
9
Is that right?
10
Right Mrs. Geren, I want to tell you that I think you probably making the worst mistake in your life as a grandparent by bringing this lawsuit-- the worst.
11
I gather, from reading of your complaint that you had had difficulties at certain periods of time with your daughter. Is that right?
12
Right. And you've had difficulties in certain periods of time with your son-in-law, is that right?
13
Yes. The only one thing that's constant is that they have a child together and you are that child's grandmother.
14
And it would seem to me that if you were using your brains, you would do nothing to alienate-- alienate either one of the parents, either one of the parents of this grandchild of yours, irrespective of whether they're having an acrimonious divorce or not, because you never know what's going to happen.
15
You never know what life circumstance turns around and brings you.
16
Your daughter looks like a healthy young woman, but if something happens to your daughter tomorrow, she gets hit by a bus.
17
Your granddaughter is going to be with her father.
18
I don't think so.
19
- Oh yes, she will. - I truly don't believe that.
20
You may not think so, but if-- you may not think so, but that's the law.
21
And unless there is some very special circumstance, if something happened to your daughter, in all probability, the child would be raised by her father.
22
Stop looking at your papers, Mrs. Geren.
23
Try to appreciate what I'm saying to you.
24
And I'm saying this to you because I have four grandchildren.
25
And even though-- and I have children who are in similar circumstances.
26
And the one thing that I knew was I never wanted either one of them to be angry with me because it was most important to me that I have reasonable relations with the parents of my grandchild.
27
And if you don't see that, you're a very, very foolish woman.
28
Now, you want to continue with this lawsuit, that's up to you.
29
But I think that you're making a tragic mistake.
30
I definitely thought of that, about something happening to her, and I would have to naturally see Ashley through Michael.
31
But the fact is that as of last night, he no longer has any custody of Ashley, besides the fact that I do want what rightfully I purchased and I did not purchase for him.
32
And I feel that I'm going to continue with this lawsuit.
33
Fine. When did you purchase the items for your granddaughter?
34
Well, first, I'd like to show this to you.
35
Just tell me what it is.
36
It's a letter from Children & Family Services.
37
What does it have to do with clothes?
38
Because it shows that Jamie has full custody right now.
39
I don't care whether she has full custody.
40
And she goes to school from my home every single day.
41
Ms. Geren it has nothing to do with this lawsuit, Madam.
42
You're not paying attention to me.
43
All right. Here-- I asked for specific question.
44
Your daughter did not have custody for a period of time of this child.
45
She did, too?
46
No, no, no.
47
The child was with the father.
48
That's why-- that's why-- It's not true.
49
Wait a sec.
50
No, no, that's not true.
51
He had three days, is all he had with her.
52
Ms. Geren. Are you telling me that I don't know what I'm saying?
53
Ms. Geren? Yes.
54
Let me see the items, and when you purchase them for your granddaughter.
55
The main item list is this.
56
Can I see it?
57
And the rest is right here.
58
And I don't understand why you say she only-- she didn't have custody.
59
That's, like, unbelievable.
60
OK. With whom was the child residing in November of 1998?
61
With Jamie and three days with him.

このレッスンについて

このレッスンでは、家族間のトラブルや法的なやり取りをテーマにしたビデオの会話を使って、英語のスピーキング力を向上させます。特に、論争的な場面での発音、イントネーション、リズムを練習し、IELTS スピーキング対策や日常的な英語表現にも役立つスキルを身につけます。会話の中には「custody(親権)」「lawsuit(訴訟)」などの専門用語も含まれており、実践的な語彙力も養えます。

重要な語彙とフレーズ

  • custody:親権、監護権。「full custody(完全親権)」のように使われます。
  • lawsuit:訴訟。「bring a lawsuit(訴訟を起こす)」が一般的な表現です。
  • alienate:疎遠にする。「alienate someone(誰かを疎遠にする)」と使います。
  • acrimonious:激しい、敵対的な。「acrimonious divorce(激しい離婚)」のように用いられます。
  • irrespective of:~に関係なく。「irrespective of the situation(状況に関係なく)」で使えます。

練習のヒント

このビデオの会話は速さがあり、感情的なトーンが強いので、英語シャドーイングに最適です。まずは10秒ほどの短い部分を切り出し、発言者のイントネーションやポーズを真似て繰り返し練習しましょう。特に、「You're making a tragic mistake.」のような強い主張の表現は、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、スピーキングの自然さも向上させます。

また、英語スピーキング練習として、会話の内容を日本語に翻訳した後、再び英語に戻す「シャドースピーク」の方法もおすすめです。これにより、語彙の応用能力と即応力が鍛えられ、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立ちます。感情的な場面での表現は難しいですが、繰り返し練習することで、自然な英語を話すこと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。
