1
Harry, on the other hand, was going to Stonewall High, the local comprehensive.
2
Dudley thought this was very funny.
3
"'They stuff people's heads down the toilet first day at Stonewall,' he told Harry.
4
"'Want to come upstairs and practice?' "'No, thanks,' said Harry.
5
"'The poor toilet's never had anything as horrible as your head down it.
6
It might be sick.' Then he ran, before Dudley could work out what he'd said.
7
jumped to his feet just as a jeering voice floated across the lawn.
8
"'I know what day it is,' sang Dudley, waddling towards him.
9
The huge eyes blinked and vanished.
10
"'What?' said Harry, not taking his eyes off the spot where they had been.
11
"'I know what day it is,' Dudley repeated, coming right up to him.
12
"'Well done,' said Harry.
13
"'So you've finally learned the days of the week.
14
"'It was Rita Skeeter.
15
"'She was wearing acid-green robes today.
16
"'The Quick Quotes Quill in her hand blended perfectly against them.
17
"'Congratulations, Harry,' she said, beaming at him.
18
"'I wonder if you could give me a quick word.
19
"'How you felt facing that dragon?
20
"'How you feel now about the fairness of the scoring?' "'Yeah, you can have a word,' said Harry savagely.
21
"'Good-bye!' And he set off back to the castle with Ron.
22
"'Why were you lurking under our window?' "'Yes, good point, Petunia.
23
What were you doing under our window, boy?
24
Listening to the news, said Harry in a resigned voice.
25
His aunt and uncle exchanged looks of outrage.
26
Listening to the news?
27
Again?
28
Well, it changes every day, you see,' said Harry.
29
"'Don't you be clever with me, boy!
30
I want to know what you're really up to, and don't give me any more of this listening to the news, Tosh.
31
You know perfectly well that your lot—' "'Careful,
32
Vernon!' breathed Aunt Petunia, and Uncle Vernon lowered his voice so that Harry could barely hear him.
33
"'That your lot don't get on our news.' "'That's all you know,' said Harry.
34
The Dursleys goggled at him for a few seconds.
35
Then Aunt Petunia said, "'You're a nasty little liar.
36
What are all those—' She, too, lowered her voice so that Harry had to lip-read the next word.
37
"'Owls doing if they're not bringing you news.' "'A-ha!' said Uncle Vernon, in a triumphant whisper.
38
"'Get out of that one,
39
boy, as if we I didn't know you get all your news from those pestilential birds." Harry hesitated for a moment.
40
It cost him something to tell the truth this time, even though his aunt and uncle could not possibly know how bad he felt at admitting it.
41
The owls aren't bringing me news, he said tonelessly.
42
I don't believe it, said Aunt Petunia at once.
43
"'No more do I,' said Uncle Vernon forcefully.
44
"'We know you're up to something funny,' said Aunt Petunia.
45
"'We're not stupid, you know,' said Uncle Vernon.
46
"'Well, that's news to me,' said Harry, his temper rising.
47
"'And before the Dursleys could call him back, "'he had wheeled about, crossed the front lawn, "'stepped over the low garden wall,
48
"'and was striding off up the street.' Harry looked around.
49
He had expected this, but that did not make the sight of Draco Malfoy smirking at him from between his cronies,
50
Crabbe and Goyle, any more enjoyable.
51
"'What?' he said aggressively, before Malfoy could open his mouth.
52
"'Manners, Potter, or I'll have to give you a detention,' drawled Malfoy, whose sleek blonde hair and pointed chin were just like his father's.
53
"'You see, I, unlike you, have been made a prefect, "'which means that I, unlike you,
54
have the power to hand out punishments.' "'Yeah,' said Harry, "'but you, unlike me, are a git,
55
"'so get out and leave us alone.' "'His shield charm was so strong, "'Snape was knocked off balance and hit a desk.
56
"'The whole class had looked round "'and now watched as Snape righted himself, scowling.
57
"'Do you remember me telling you we are practising non-verbal spells, Potter?' "'Yes,' said Harry stiffly.
58
"'Yes, sir.' "'There's no need to call me sir, Professor.' The words had escaped him before he knew what he was saying.
59
Several people gasped, including Hermione.
60
Behind Snape, however, Ron, Dean, and Seamus grinned appreciatively.
61
One by one, Snape extracted Harry's books and examined them.
62
Finally, the only book left was the Potions book, which he looked at very carefully before speaking.
63
"'This is your copy of Advanced Potion-Making, is it, Potter?' "'Yes,' said Harry, still breathing hard.
64
"'You are quite sure of that, are you, Potter?' "'Yes,' said Harry, with a touch more defiance.
65
"'This is the copy of Advanced Potion-Making that you purchased from Flourish and Blots?' "'Yes,' said Harry firmly.
66
"'Then why?' asked Snape.
67
"'Does it have the name Runil Waslib written inside the front cover?' Harry's heart missed a beat.
68
"'That's my nickname,' he said.
69
"'Your nickname,' repeated Snape.
70
"'Yeah, that's what my friends call me,' said Harry.
71
Thank you.

このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由は?

「ハリー・ポッター」オーディオブックの中で、ハリーのユーモアあふれる発言は、彼のキャラクターを際立たせています。このビデオを使用して、英語スピーキング練習を行うことは、会話の自然さやユーモアを理解するための優れた方法です。おもしろい会話の流れを模倣することで、自分自身のスピーキング能力を向上させることができます。特に、ビデオの中でのハリーの高揚した皮肉や反応は、学習者が実際の会話で使用できる表現やフレーズの宝庫です。このようなスピーキングの実践は、shadow speakの手法を用いて、より創造的な会話能力を養う助けとなります。

文法と文脈における表現

このビデオでは、いくつかの重要な文法構造と表現が登場します。以下にその一部を紹介します:

  • 間接話法:他者が話した内容を伝える際、例えば「彼は…と言った」という構造が多用されます。この表現を理解することで、会話への反応力が向上します。
  • 口語的なフレーズ:ハリーのセリフ「I wonder if you could give me a quick word」などは、カジュアルな会話でよく使われる表現です。
  • 皮肉の使用:「Well done」といったフレーズは、実際には皮肉を含んでいます。これにより、会話の微妙なニュアンスを理解することができます。
  • 感情を表現する形容詞:感情を示す表現を増やすことは、スピーキングの際に感情を伝える力を高めます。例えば、「nasty」や「triumphant」などの形容詞がその例です。

一般的な発音のトラップ

ハリーが発言する際、特に注意が必要な単語やアクセントがあります。例えば、「without」の発音は、音がつながって流れるように発音する必要があります。また、その他の言葉の中には部分的な音が消えることがあるため、YouTubeで英語学習をしている際には、ネイティブスピーカーの発音をしっかりとシャドーイングすることが大切です。

これらのトラップを理解することで、さまざまなアクセントに対応できるようになり、より流暢に英語を話せるようになります。特に、英語シャドーイングを行うことで、発音やイントネーションの改善に大いに役立ちます。たとえば、ハリーが発する「Get out of that one, boy」というセリフは、感情を強調するために特に注意深く発音されています。

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。
