1
The End The End The End The End The End One thing George liked about Lake Wannesink Lake
2
was that he never felt alone, even when he couldn't see other animals.
3
He could tell they were out there animals.
4
He could tell they were out there.
5
George, hi,
6
how about a hand?
7
Yeah, I'm preparing an exhibit on local wildlife for the town nature society
8
and the baby alligator lizard I was studying just disappeared.
9
Oh, thanks.
10
Have fun at the lake?
11
Wow!
12
You saw all those animals?
13
You only heard them?
14
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
15
Hey!
16
Animal sounds would be great in the exhibit.
17
You wanna help me again?
18
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!
19
Ha ha ha!
20
Ha ha ha ha!
21
Okay, just point the microphone toward the sound till you hear it nice and loud in the headphones.
22
Then, push this red button to record it.
23
Remember, the closer you are to an animal, the louder it gets.
24
Don't get too close.
25
This was simple for a smart monkey.
26
All he had to do was follow the sound as it got louder and...
27
He tracked one woodpecker and thought he heard a second one.
28
But maybe sounds aren't as simple as they sound.
29
George was collecting pictures of all the sounds he had heard outside.
30
Then he heard a new one, inside.
31
Ah George knew how to track a sound This was different.
32
It got louder Then went sound Then it was far away again This called for a second opinion 151 152 wait.
33
Oh Hi, George.
34
Yeah, can you wait till I'm done with the moth senses?
35
Okay, I'm coming.
36
Oh, that's just a smoke detector, George.
37
It needs a new battery.
38
George wasn't sure this was the same sound he'd heard before.
39
And now, back to my moths.
40
There it was again.
41
And it didn't come from the smoke detector.
42
That thing was here somewhere.
43
And he knew he could find it.
44
Of course, it must have gone out the window.
45
It was loud, it was soft, it was here, it was gone.
46
Ha ha ha ha!
47
Only one room had an echo like that.
48
Ha ha!
49
He thought he had it.
50
But all he found was a tiny insect that couldn't possibly make such a big sound.
51
Outside, the man with the yellow hat and green night vision goggles was having his own problems with elusive creatures.
52
Let's see, where are those rascals?
53
I'm trying to study the nocturnal feeding habits of raccoons, but I can't find any around here.
54
Oh, that's a nice recording of a cricket.
55
Was it one of these?
56
You know, hundreds of crickets chirping together can make a soothing, peaceful sound.
57
But one little cricket in a quiet house can drive you bananas.
58
Is there one in our house?
59
Well, he probably wants to get out and go home.
60
Here, catch him and free him outside.
61
And here's a tip, George.
62
Crickets are attracted to light.
63
Now that the mystery was solved and George knew what he was looking for, this was gonna be easy.
64
Ha ha ha ha!
65
George was already smarter than a cricket, and he knew how to be faster.
66
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
67
Let's go.
68
I can't believe it.
69
Then, a strange new sound.
70
And then George set the cricket free to happily hop back to his cricket home.
71
Did you free that cricket?
72
Good work!
73
I am sure that's one happy cricket.
74
Okay, that cricket left us some clean-up work, don't you think, George?
75
Whew!
76
All done.
77
Sleep tight, George.
78
Oh no!
79
Ah!
80
Are you sure you put it outside? outside.
81
You know George, if we don't catch that cricket, we'll never get any sleep.
82
I've got it!
83
The man with the yellow hat didn't have the cricket.
84
But he did have a solution.
85
Watching for the man with the yellow hat to come home was easy.
86
Easy for a sharp-eyed monkey like George.
87
Because nobody else was that yellow.
88
Well, almost no one.
89
Seeing the man was great But seeing him with a present was even better Well hello,
90
how was your morning?
91
Were you a good little monkey?
92
That's my monkey No!
93
Hold on, George.
94
That present's not for you.
95
It's for Professor Wiseman's birthday.
96
You can see what's inside when she opens it.
97
Tonight at dinner.
98
Dinner was years away.
99
Maybe just one peek now.
100
If you really want to unwrap something, come in the kitchen.
101
Ha ha ha ha ha!
102
Here, you can pretend the orange peel is gift wrap.
103
You'll be helping me in unwrapping too.
104
Oh!
105
Ha ha ha!
106
Orange skin didn't feel like gift wrap.
107
But there was something good inside.
108
Ooh!
109
Ha ha ha ha!
110
Maybe that thick skin was there to hold back squirts.
111
Now, the onion head skin that felt like gift wrap.
112
But it didn't smell like any present.
113
And no wonder they keep cheese wrapped up.
114
These coverings were all different, but they hid the same thing.
115
Something smelly.
116
But that couldn't be the same reason the present was wrapped, could it?
117
George, could you please peel me one apple?
118
This was much better.
119
The apple smelled good.
120
Oh!
121
Whoa!
122
George, after you've done one apple, leave the bowl of unpeeled fruit out, okay?
123
Ooh!
124
Huh?
125
Ooh, ooh, ooh!
126
Those are Professor Wiseman's favorites that I bought especially for her birthday.
127
Ooh!
128
Um, George, could you pick up my pants for me?
129
They're being altered at the department store.
130
Don't worry, we won't open it without you.
131
Phew! Have a seat.
132
I'll be back in one moment with the pants.
133
The man with the yellow hat was right.
134
This errand had completely taken George's mind off the...
135
The...
136
Fancy, beautiful wrapped present.
137
Nothing to eat.
138
Nothing to smell.
139
Nothing.
140
All George uncovered was a mystery.
141
I just wrapped empty boxes.
142
Give me your honest opinion!
143
I'm very proud of this display.
144
This is not a display, it's.. it's a story!
145
Remains of the birthday!
146
Brilliant!
147
I love it!
148
Why, I.. well, I.. um.. thank you!
149
Wrapping always hid surprises.
150
So why wrap these if everyone could see right through it?
151
George decided that some wrapping was there just to keep monkeys out.
152
Oh!
153
What?
154
Oh!
155
Ha ha ha!
156
Ha ha ha ha ha!
157
People sure are buying a lot of coffee makers.
158
I just wrapped 15 in a row!
159
There you are!
160
I've been looking all over for you.
161
George wanted to play with the wrapper people some more.
162
But he had to get these pants home.
163
George hadn't been gone very long, but when he got back, the present had disappeared.
164
Oh, thanks for picking up my pants, George.
165
Oh, I know how curious a little monkey can be, so I put the present away.
166
That should take your mind off of it.
167
But hiding the present only made George more curious.
168
This was the first time George noticed the walls were wrapped.
169
It looked like wrapping on top of more wrapping.
170
Maybe there were a hundred layers of wallpaper under here. Or not.
171
Since he reached the end, George tried to put it all back put it all back.
172
But it didn't want to go.
173
Then he thought of a way to make this the perfect bathroom for the professor's birthday.
174
Uh, is that you George?
175
Make sure you wash up before Professor Wiseman gets here.
176
And would you make sure that bowl of her favorite fresh fruit is out where she'll see it?
177
mmmm You can't get away with that Huh?
178
You didn't wash.
179
This hand is all sticky Okay, now Waw...
180
What happened in here?
181
Professor Wiseman Help me hide this mess Ooh, ooh, ooh!
182
Hello, George.
183
Everything okay?
184
Oh!
185
I'll be right out.
186
I got your favorite fruit.
187
Help yourself. Is this a.. benangarine?
188
You can't put skins on fruit, George.
189
Only nature can do that.
190
On the other hand, nature doesn't make bonangerines.
191
Uh, sorry, I'm...
192
Happy birthday!
193
From George and me.
194
Oh, you didn't have to.
195
Would you like to help me open it, George?
196
Woo!
197
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
198
Woo hoo hoo!
199
Hee hee!
200
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
201
I never would have guessed that's what was in this big box.
202
That's uh, that's why it was wrapped that way.
203
Oh, my favorite symphony.
204
You remembered!
205
Thanks.
206
Let's listen to it during dinner.
207
Oh, here, I'll get that.
208
George figured he'd better eat something.
209
Because this was gonna take a while.

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。
