Translator: Gustavo Rocha Reviewer: Ariana Bleau Lugo Hear that?
2
That's nothing.
3
Which is what I, as a speaker at today's conference, have for you all.
4
I have nothing.
5
Nada. Zip. Zilch.
6
Zippo. Nothing smart. Nothing inspirational.
7
Nothing even remotely researched at all.
8
I have absolutely nothing to say whatsoever.
9
And yet, through my manner of speaking, I will make it seem like I do.
10
Like what I am saying is brilliant.
11
And maybe, just maybe, you will feel like you've learned something.
12
Now, I'm going to get started with the opening.
13
I'm going to make a lot of hand gestures.
14
I'm going to do this with my right hand, I'm going to do this with my left.
15
I'm going to adjust my glasses.
16
And then I'm going to ask you all a question.
17
By a show of hands, how many of you all have been asked a question before?
18
(Laughter) Okay, great, I'm seeing some hands.
19
And again, I have nothing here.
20
Now, I'm gonna react to that and act like I'm telling you a personal anecdote.
21
Something to break the tension.
22
Something to endear myself a little bit.
23
Something kind of embarrassing.
24
And you guys are going to make an "aw" sound.
25
It's true. It really happened.
26
(Laughter) And now I'm going to bring it to a broader point.
27
I'm going to really beckon.
28
I'm going to make it intellectual.
29
I'm going to bring it to this man right here.
30
Now, what this man did was important, I'm sure.
31
(Laughter) But I, for one, have no idea who he is.
32
I simply googled image the word "Scientist." (Laughter) And now you see, I'd like it to seem like I'm making points, building an argument, inspiring you to change your life, when in reality, this is just me...
33
buying... time...
34
Now, if you don't believe me, let's take a look at the numbers.
35
This is a real thing that's happening right now.
36
The number of talks that I'm giving is one.
37
Interesting facts imparted thus far in said talk, well, that's going to be a zero.
38
My height in inches is 70.5. Note the .5 there.
39
2x6 equals 12.
40
And then interestingly enough 6x2 also equals 12.
41
That's math.
42
352 is a three-digit number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and then almost immediately following that we get 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
43
Now, to add more filler here, I'm going to give you a couple more number to consider, uh ... 18.
44
237. 5,601.
45
2.6 million.
46
Four. Four.
47
24. Staggering!
48
(Laughter) These are real numbers, all of them.
49
And to follow that up, let's take a look at some graphs.
50
Now, if you take a look at this pie chart, what you're going to see is that the majority far exceeds the minority.
51
Everybody see that? Cool, isn't it?
52
And let's take a look at this bar graph, 'cause it shows similarly irrelevant data.
53
Now, I'm doing this because I'd like to make it seem like I've done my homework.
54
If you were, say, watching this on YouTube with the sound off, you might think, "Ah, okay. This guy knows what he's talking about." But I don't.
55
I'm floundering, panicking. I've got nothing.
56
I'm a total and utter phony.
57
But you know what?
58
I was offered a TED Talk.
59
And dammit, I'm gonna see it through.
60
(Laughter) Now, if you take a look behind me, these are just words paired with vaguely thought-provoking stock photos.
61
I'm going to point at them like I'm making use both of my time as well as your time.
62
But in reality, I don't know what half of them mean.
63
And now, as these continue, I'm just going to start saying gibberish.
64
Wagga wah, gabba gabba.
65
Turkey, mouth and a mouth.
66
Chip, trip, my dog Skip.
67
Rip it and dip it, Richard.
68
I'm an itty-bitty baby bopper.
69
And I'm hungry in my tum tum.
70
Brad Pitt, Uma Thurman.
71
Names, things.
72
Words, words and more things.
73
And see? It feels like it might make sense, doesn't it?
74
Like maybe, just maybe, I'm building to some sort of satisfying conclusion, I mean, I'm gesticulating as though I am.
75
I'm pacing, I'm growing in intensity, I'm taking off my glasses, which by the way, are just frames.
76
(Laughter) I wore them to look smart, even though my vision is perfect.
77
And now I'm going to slow things down a little bit.
78
I'm going to change the tone.
79
I'm going to make it seem like I'm building to a moment.
80
And what if I was?
81
(Laughter) Amazing, isn't it? What can we do?
82
Life's a roller coaster.
83
You know, if there's one thing you'd take away from my talk, I'd like you to think about what you heard at the beginning, and I'd like you to think about what you hear now.
84
Because it was nothing and it's still nothing, think about that.
85
Or don't, that's fine.
86
And now I'm going to stop talking.
87
Thank you. (Applause)

このビデオで話す練習をする理由は何ですか？

このTEDxトークを通じて、効果的な話し方や聴衆を引き込む技術を学ぶことができます。スピーカーは、何も特別な内容を持たずに興味を引く方法を示しており、視聴者が思わず笑ったり、共感したりする瞬間を作り出しています。このようなテクニックを学ぶことで、英語スピーキング練習において実際の会話で自信を持って表現できるようになるでしょう。特に、IELTSスピーキング対策としても、このビデオは有効です。自分の意見やアイデアを表現する力を養うための貴重なリソースとなります。

文法とコンテキストにおける表現

  • 手振りを使うこと：スピーカーは手振りを効果的に使い、話に動きを加えています。これにより、視覚的な印象を強めることができます。
  • 質問を投げかける：たとえば、「手を挙げてください」と聴衆への参加を促すことで、会話が双方向になることを示しています。
  • 数値を使った強調：具体的な数値や統計を使うことで、話に信頼性を持たせ、聴衆の注意を引いています。これにより、話の内容が一見重要に感じられます。

これらの構造を使いこなすことで、英語スピーキング練習が効果的になります。shadowspeakの練習においても、特に自分の意見を述べる際には、自信を持って質問をすることが有効です。

一般的な発音の罠

このビデオには、以下のような発音に注意が必要な語句やアクセントがあります：

  • 「scientist」：この単語は、日本語の「科学者」と響きが似ていますが、英語では母音とアクセントを正しく発音することが重要です。
  • 「numbers」：特に「numbers」の発音は、流れるように言うことが求められます。日本語の発音とは異なり、母音をクリアに表現する必要があります。
  • ユーモア的な間合い：話の流れの中での一時的な間をつくることが、効果的なコミュニケーションにおいて重要です。

これらのポイントを注意深く練習することで、発音やイントネーションを改善することができ、より流暢に話すことが可能になります。shadow speakを通して、実際の会話での自信を高めましょう。

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。
