1
If you're able to, please close your eyes.
2
Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
3
Relax your shoulders.
4
Unclench your jaw.
5
Take another deep breath in and another breath out.
6
You can open your eyes now.
7
My name is David.
8
I'm a poet and author.
9
I write about the things that bring me joy.
10
You'd be surprised just how often that means I pick up my pen and use my voice.
11
Whenever I have a truly bad day, frustrating as it may be, it's a matter of time until my next smile.
12
Good things are coming to me.
13
That may sound glib.
14
It may sound naive.
15
Life is far more complicated than that.
16
I won’t argue with you.
17
I know that that's true.
18
No one makes it through their whole life intact.
19
If you talked to every pillow I've had in my life, you would hear about plenty of tears.
20
If you stole my journal from my hotel room, you would read about plenty of fears.
21
If I'd had the emotional literacy when I was younger, you'd have heard me articulate pain.
22
I do all I can to avoid all of those states, but I'm sure that I'll feel them again.
23
I'm saying all this with a smile on my face.
24
Not because I don't understand language.
25
I just know there's far more for my feelings in store.
26
I look on the bright side.
27
It's a habit.
28
Because even in the very worst of times when it seems that I'll always feel down, I've learned over time, in the darkest of skies, there will come a break in the clouds.
29
I don't think that it's naive at all to look for joy in the everyday.
30
In fact, if I'm ever to be truly content, it seems to me to be the only way.
31
There is nothing too small to be happy about.
32
I mean, truly, nothing at all.
33
And because I take small joys most seriously, they stack up to be rather tall.
34
You see, if I saw "real" happiness as the big headline news events, I'd have maybe one a month if I'm lucky.
35
And between them, what would I do then?
36
I think of the day that my sister was born, of the singular joy that day was.
37
Moments like that, the joy's beyond belief.
38
They’re so immense, they almost have to be one-offs.
39
Some things have to exist at that scale to be truly appreciated.
40
That doesn't mean my reserves of joy can't be regularly topped up and updated.
41
Because joy is not just a fanciful thing; it's a whimsical, powerful tool.
42
It's a thread of resilience woven into our lives.
43
When there are cracks in things, joy brings light through.
44
Even if my happiness isn't total.
45
Even when I don't think I deserve it.
46
Finding the small joys in every day is a practice that's always so worth it.
47
It's easier on some days than others.
48
It takes effort, that I won't deny, but I am deserving of my own best efforts.
49
Life is effort. Why wouldn’t I try?
50
I spent far too long believing that joy was for someone more deserving than me.
51
I spent even longer believing contentment was ambition's worst enemy, when in fact we matter because we exist.
52
We deserve joy by virtue of this.
53
And contentment means that any ambition that follows is the healthiest kind that exists.
54
I'm capable of finding moments of joy.
55
There are plenty of opportunities.
56
And if I can find joy wherever I am, then where I am, joy shall be.
57
Next time your drink is the perfect temperature or your fork holds the perfect bite.
58
Next time you put on your favorite socks or adjust so you’re sitting just right.
59
Next time you stumble across a great song that you haven’t heard in a while.
60
Next time you catch eyes with a stranger who offers a nod or a genuine smile.
61
When you stretch your body and relax it again.
62
When you take a deep breath and you sigh.
63
When you get to relax at the end of a long day.
64
When you turn your face up to the sky, remember, life is made of the average days, and each one offers joy aplenty.
65
The smallest joys are the simplest to find.
66
And they add up more often than any.
67
I always pay attention when a small joy grabs me.
68
Some say easily pleased, I say frequently happy.
69
Because you deserve it.
70
Because I do too.
71
In our everyday, may joy always shine through.
72
Thank you. (Applause)

このビデオで話す練習をする理由は？

デイビッド・ラービのTEDトーク「Joy Will Find You — If You Let It」では、喜びを見つけることの重要性について語っています。このビデオを通じて英語を練習することで、感情を表現する力を高めることができます。英語シャドーイングを行うことで、あなたの発音やリズムを改善し、自然な会話ができるようになります。さらに、喜びの小さな瞬間を大切にするメッセージは、日常会話でも使える表現が豊富です。特に、感情的なトピックについて話す際の表現力を磨くことができます。

文法と表現の背景

話者の使用する文法や表現を分析することで、多くの学びがあります。以下のポイントが特に重要です：

  • 現在進行形の用法：デイビッドは「I'm saying all this with a smile on my face.」と言い、現在進行形を使って今の気持ちを表現しています。この構造は、感情を伝えるのに非常に効果的です。
  • 比較級の使用：「even in the very worst of times」といった表現は、最悪の状況でも良い側面を見つけることの大切さを強調しています。比較級を使うことで、対比を通じた理解が深まります。
  • 定冠詞の使い方：「the darkness of skies」は、特定の概念を強調するのに役立っています。日常会話でも定冠詞を正しく使うことは、意図を明確にするために重要です。

一般的な発音の落とし穴

このビデオには、発音において挑戦的な部分があります。話者のアクセントや特定の単語に注意を払うことが大切です：

  • joy：この単語は、発音の際に特に注意が必要です。短い「o」音をしっかりと出しましょう。
  • effort：この単語は「エフォート」と発音されがちですが、正しくは「エファート」です。母音の強調に留意しましょう。
  • deserve：こちらも発音が難しい単語で、特に「デザーブ」ではなく「ディザーヴ」と発音される点に注意が必要です。

これらのポイントを意識しながら、YouTubeで英語学習を進めることで、リスニング能力とスピーキング力が共に向上します。ビデオを何度も鑑賞し、shadowing siteを活用することで、自分の発音や抑揚の改善に役立てましょう。

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。
