1
Hey, hey.
2
Hey, what's she doing here? Who?
3
Donald.
4
Hey, what's she doing here?
5
She works here.
6
Aaron, how's it going?
7
You never called me back.
8
I left messages.
9
You did?
10
Well, I didn't know that.
11
Donald seems to think that you said that...
12
There's two things that aggravate me, Mr. Masri.
13
Being ignored and being lied to.
14
I never lied.
15
You told me things would be fine.
16
They're not.
17
I trusted you.
18
I'm sorry about that.
19
I really am.
20
I don't need pity.
21
I need a paycheck.
22
And I've looked.
23
But when you spend the past six years raising babies, it's real hard to convince someone to give you a job that pays worth a damn, are you?
24
I'm getting every word of this down, honey, or am I talking too fast for you?
25
I'm sorry about that.
26
I really am.
27
We have a full staff right now.
28
Bullshit!
29
If you had a full staff, this office would return a client's damn phone call.
30
I'm smart, I'm hardworking, and I'll do anything, and I'm not leaving here without a job.
31
Don't make me beg.
32
If it doesn't work out, fire me.
33
Don't make me beg.
34
No benefits.
35
What we do in here is file all of the cases.
36
And then that way, at any time, we can tell the status of a file.
37
You know, where it is in the office, stuff like that.
38
And here's where we organize all the files alphabetically.
39
Something went out.
40
Okay.
41
And here's your desk.
42
Okay.
43
And now I want you to come with me.
44
I want to show you where the Xerox machine is.
45
Everybody has a code, and you need to know about that.
46
Do I get to pick my own code?
47
We'll see.
48
Mr. Masry?
49
Yeah?
50
I was wondering, can you tell me who I talk to about maybe getting an advance on my paycheck just for the weekend?
51
Uh, Rosalind's the office manager.
52
She handles payroll and petty cash. But she's gone already.
53
She leaves early on Fridays.
54
Okay.
55
Thank you.
56
Oh, for Pete's sake.
57
Here, here.
58
I've only got hundreds.
59
Here.
60
I don't want your money, Mr. Masri.
61
I really...
62
Where do you think your paycheck comes from?
63
Here.
64
Yeah.
65
Have a good weekend.
66
Thank you.
67
Hey, Ann.
68
Hi, Ann.
69
Good morning.
70
Good morning.
71
Hey.
72
Hi, my sweetie.
73

75
Matthew, Katie.
76
Hey, Mom.
77

78
Hi.
79
How are you?
80
Okay.
81

82
You're welcome.
83
Hey!
84
Hey!
85
Hey!
86
Hey!
87
Hello?
88
What are you doing making all that goddamn noise?
89
Well, uh, I don't know.
90
We're just introducing ourselves to the neighbors.
91
I'm just kidding.
92
I'm just kidding.
93
Hey!
94
Hey!
95
Hey!
96
I don't know.
97
We're just introducing ourselves to the neighborhood, I guess.
98
Well, I'm the neighbors.
99
Here, we're introduced.
100
So shut the fuck up.
101
Oh, hey, hey.
102
Wait, hold on there.
103
Let's start over, okay?
104
My name's George.
105
What's yours?
106
Just think of me as the person next door who likes it quiet.
107
Hey, come on, don't be like that.
108
Hell, we live next door to each other.
109
I feel bad.
110
I feel terrible.
111
I'm sorry.
112
Will you accept my apology?
113
I mean, hell, we're living right next door to each other if you need a cup of sugar or some cream.
114
I don't need sugar.
115
You don't need any sugar.
116
Well, why don't I take you out to dinner to apologize for my rudeness, huh?
117
You give me your number.
118
I mean, I already got your address, so you can't get away, huh?
119
And I'll call you up proper, and I'll ask you out and everything.
120
You want my number.
121
I do.
122
I do want your number.
123
Which number do you want?
124
George?
125
George.
126
Now, I like the way you say that, George.
127
Uh, well, how many numbers you got?
128
Oh, I got numbers coming out of my years.
129
For instance, ten.
130
Ten?
131
Yeah.
132
That's how many months old my baby girl is.
133
You got a little girl?
134
Yeah.
135
Yeah, sexy, huh?
136
How about this for number six?
137
That's how old my other daughter is.
138
Eight is the age of my son.
139
Two is how many times I've been married and divorced.
140
16 is the number of dollars I have in my bank account.
141
850-3943.
142
That's my phone number.
143
And with all the numbers I gave you, I'm guessing zero is the number of times you're going to call it.
144
Hey, how the hell do you remember your bank balance right off the top of your head like that?
145
See, that impresses me.
146
You're dead wrong about that zero thing, baby.
147
How long has she been crying like that?
148
Well, she's got that tooth coming in.
149
Why don't you give her a cold washcloth to suck on?
150
I gotta go.
151
There's a clean one in the bag.
152
I'll check my clear.
153
Where's Anna?
154
Um, she's out to lunch with the girls.
155

156

157
Uh, real estate thing, pro bono.
158

159

160
Yeah, yeah, I got it.
161
You're a girl.
162
Excuse me?
163
Why aren't you out to lunch with the girls?
164
You're a girl.
165
I guess I'm not the right kind.
166
Uh, look, now you may want to, now that you're working here, You may want to rethink your wardrobe a little.
167
Why is that?
168
Well, I think some of the girls are a little uncomfortable because of what you wear. Is that so?
169
Well, it just so happens I think I look nice.
170
And as long as I have one ass instead of two, I'll wear what I like if that's all right with you.
171
Mm-hmm.
172
You might want to rethink those ties.
173
Anna?
174
Anna?
175
With this real estate stuff, could you remind me, because I'm a little confused exactly how we do it, why are there medical records and blood samples in real estate files?
176

177

このレッスンについて
このレッスンでは、英語の発音を良くするために、エリン・ブロコビッチの会話を通じて「シャドーイング」に取り組みます。この動画では、感情的なやり取りや日常的なビジネスの場面が描かれており、ビジネスシーンで使われるフレーズや表現に焦点を当てます。英語でのコミュニケーションスキルを向上させ、ネイティブスピーカーのリズムやイントネーションを身につけることが目的です。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- pity: 哀れみ
- paycheck: 給料
- to be ignored: 無視されること
- trust: 信頼する
- hardworking: 勤勉な
- to file: 書類を整理する
- advance: 前借り
- benefits: 福利厚生
練習のコツ
動画のスピードやトーンに合わせて「シャドースピーチ」を行うことで、英語のリズムを体得しましょう。この動画は比較的早口で進行するため、最初は少しスローモーションで再生することをお勧めします。少しずつスピードを上げながら、セリフを繰り返し声に出してみてください。暗記する必要はなく、発音やイントネーションを真似することに集中してください。練習の際には、以下の点に注意してください：
- 発音を意識する: 特に単語の終わりや強調される部分に注意を払いましょう。
- 感情を込める: 語気や感情を再現することで、より自然な発音が身に付きます。
- 繰り返し行う: 定期的に同じフレーズを繰り返し発音することで、体がフレーズを覚えやすくなります。
この「YouTubeで英語学習」を通じて、ビジネス英語の理解を深め、シャドーイングのスキルを向上させましょう。繰り返すことで、英語力を着実に向上させることができます。
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。
