1
I'm alive.
2
Put a helmet on you.
3
I've been in so many miraculous situations where I should have died in Nam and car accidents, motorcycle.
4
And because of my wife and my wonderful family,
5
I just didn't feel that it was my time.
6
You know, my time's not up.
7
And so I just said, keep going.
8
76-year-old Vietnam vet Mark Eric Young shares how he survived five days lost in the Arizona wilderness.
9
He was in town for a wedding and decided to go hiking.
10
I made several mistakes.
11
The first one was I have a GPS.
12
And because I've been in this area,
13
I never turned it on until I really needed it.
14
And when I turned it on, it wasn't functional.
15
Coming back, I decided to come back on a different cow trail to make a shortcut.
16
That was the second long decision.
17
He camped out since he didn't need to meet with a friend until the next night.
18
I've spent many nights out.
19
Vietnam, wilderness, hikes, whatever, campouts.
20
So that wasn't a big thing.
21
And I had enough survival gear for certainly two days, right?
22
Plenty of water, plenty of food.
23
So I wasn't overly concerned until the next day,
24
I figured that I would just go over one mountain
25
and then I would hit that riverbed and then make my way back to the vehicle.
26
Well, again, a wrong decision.
27
When I hiked over one mountain,
28
there was another, one after the other.
29
On day three, he ran out of water.
30
I'd say Saturday was my roughest day,
31
and I was dehydrated, and my brain went right.
32
Just overly fatigued.
33
And so I drank my own urine and that helped.
34
He eventually found water but had a run-in with wildlife.
35
I came around a tree and this rattlesnake, it's a blacktail.
36
I heard the rattle, but I was looking at the ground.
37
And then when I heard him, I looked at him.
38
He opened his mouth and he struck at me.
39
I took a step back,
40
picked up a rock and killed it. in anger.
41
Even with everything he was dealing with,
42
he kept his family on his mind and tried to stay calm.
43
You have to not panic.
44
Even in Nam, you can get scared and you can get nervous,
45
but you've got to keep your self-control.
46
You've got to be able to think straight.
47
It's important when you're in very stressful situations to try and,
48
you know, keep your head, You know, keep calm.
49
There were times when he was uncertain if he'd be found.
50
Yeah, of course I prayed.
51
I never felt that I was going to die.
52
You know, you're sweating during the day and shivering at night.
53
But I definitely got discouraged because of the dehydration on Saturday.
54
I mean, I'm totally exhausted.
55
That was when I just thought,
56
because I was so tired and not motivated,
57
I thought, you know, dying ain't so bad.
58
With a little bit of a dash of humor in it.
59
On day five, he found more water and was on the move again.
60
Then he heard familiar voices.
61
I heard hikers for the first time there on Monday,
62
and I hollered down.
63
And then I heard Dad,
64
and then I saw him.
65
And because it was the fifth day and I was exhausted,
66
I just, man, I cried like a baby.
67
They came up and we huddled.
68
And to have your two sons find you was nothing short of a miracle.
69
Mark is grateful for all the people he knew and didn't know that came together to find him.
70
The rescue people, the helicopters,
71
the drones, the volunteers, local cowboys with horses,
72
old friends, my family, my brothers.
73
Unbelievable.
74
I had no idea how loved and how wonderful these people are themselves.
75
Again, it just wasn't about me.
76
It's their character, their toughness, their selflessness.
77
The people that showed up to me represents America and Americans.
78
They don't know me from Adam.
79
They've never even laid eyes on me, right?
80
And yet they're willing to lay their lives down to help another person.
81
It blows me away.
82
Mark was taken to the hospital and didn't have any serious injuries.
83
He says he returned home to 413 text messages and had family,
84
friends, and people from all chapters of his life reach out to him.
85
It's hard for me not to even leak a little bit right now.
86
It's overwhelming, and I'm so encouraged and so thankful.
87
I'm renewed as a result of it.
88
And again, I'm trying not to cry,
89
Dr. I try not to get emotional.
90
But I'm 76 six.
91
And, you know, the reality is,
92
is I'm in the last quarter of my life,
93
but I'm blessed with good health.
94
Although this incident scared Mark,
95
he still plans on reuniting with nature soon.
96
Are your hiking days over or are you going to get out there again?
97
You can take the boy from the mountains,
98
but you can't take the mountains from the boy.
99
Yeah, I'll be out, but I will never,
100
at my age I will never do that again.
101
I'll be back in Arizona this fall for sure.
102
But I won't be alone.
103
If I would have got hurt I'm not sure I would have made it out.
104
I don't know.
105
You just never know.

このビデオで話す練習をする理由
このビデオは、76歳のベトナム戦争 veteranzであるマーク・エリック・ヤングが遭遇したサバイバル体験を語っています。彼の経験は、危機的状況での冷静さと判断力がどれほど重要かを教えてくれます。この話を通じて、英語を話す実践をすることは、大きな教訓を得られるだけでなく、語彙や表現を増やすためにも役立ちます。特に、緊急時の対処法や心の持ち方に関する話題は、実生活でも適用可能です。このビデオを使った練習は、IELTS スピーキング対策にも適しており、語学力向上に貢献します。
文法と文脈における表現
ヤング氏の話から学べる重要な文法構造や表現は以下の通りです：
- 過去形の使用：「I've been in so many miraculous situations...」というフレーズは、彼の経験を振り返る際の過去形の使い方を示しています。
- 条件文：「If I prayed, I thought I would be found.」このように、条件文を使って自分の思考や希望を表現しています。
- 非定型構文：「there was another, one after the other.」この構文は、一連の出来事が続くことを示す際に便利です。
これらの構造を練習することで、自然な会話の流れを身につけられます。
よくある発音の罠
ビデオ内にはいくつかの発音のトラップがあります。特に注意すべき単語やアクセントを以下に挙げます：
- 「dehydrated」：この言葉は「脱水症状」を意味しますが、発音に注意が必要です。正しく発音することで、他者に内容を正確に伝えることができます。
- 「survive」：この単語は「生き残る」という意味で、特に文脈での使い方を抑えておくと良いでしょう。
- 「rattlesnake」：この単語は発音が難しく、特に「tt」の部分を強調することがポイントです。
これらの発音を練習する際、ビデオを使ってリスニングやシャドーイングを行うと、より効果的です。YouTubeで英語学習を進める一環として、シャドウスピーキングや発音矯正に挑戦してみましょう。
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。
