So tell everyone your story starting with your name.
2
My name is Erica, and I'm from Los Angeles, and I want to be a rock star like Madonna.
3
Please like and subscribe to this channel.
4
It's my turn.
5
Dude chill.
6
No need to get handsy squirt.
7
That's enough.
8
Steve started it!
9
He always starts with me because he's such a bookworm!
10
Books are good, Erika.
11
You could learn something from your brother.
12
You heard what mom said.
13
You should learn from me.
14
Seriously, you're still such a dweeb.
15
Why do you always gotta creep up on me, huh?
16
And why are you always binge watching these ancient vids, dude?
17
Are you hunting for one of your boring old songs you used to make up?
18
Ha!
19
Today would be Mom's 45th birthday.
20
I miss her.
21
Yeah, totally.
22
Well, I'm heading to the library.
23
Same thing you dropped yesterday, and yet you didn't roll in until after midnight.
24
What's the real date?
25
Stay out of my business, Erica.
26
I'm nearly 18 and don't need to take orders from you.
27
Well, I'm almost 20 and I'm still older than-- Are you expecting anyone? Is there something wrong?
28
We have to go.
29
What?
30
What's going on?
31
We don't have time.
32
We'll escape through the back.
33
Steve, you're scaring me.
34
What is going on?
35
You know we lost Mom when she was involved in some dangerous spy stuff and...
36
Okay, let's run.
37
Are you for real?
38
We're legit hiding in our treehouse right now?
39
You're going to hide there.
40
You can't just leave me here all alone.
41
This place is old and smelly and it has spiders.
42
You know I hate spiders.
43
guy that broke down our door.
44
They're not good guys and I don't want you to get involved in all this.
45
You're doing something shady, Steve?
46
Like illegal stuff?
47
No, they want something from me.
48
A device.
49
I have to go before they see you.
50
No!
51
I promised mom that I would protect you, so I'm coming with you.
52
It's too dangerous, Erika, but you can follow behind.
53
They'll take me to the Wood Creek warehouse.
54
But that place has been shut down for ages.
55
Listen, I don't have time.
56
Please be careful.
57
And no cops.
58
The cops can't be trusted.
59
Oh my gosh, this feels like a nightmare.
60
Maybe it is.
61
I should slap myself.
62
Ow!
63
Okay, not a dream.
64
He said I should follow him.
65
Oh boy, this is terrifying!
66
This place looks dangerous.
67
What the freaking rats, little bro?
68
What have you gotten yourself into?
69
I'm clueless about what to do.
70
He said no cops, but seriously, am I supposed to storm in there and zap the bad guys with my imaginary superpowers?
71
Yeah, I wish.
72
Anyhow, I can't just abandon my brother.
73
Screw it.
74
Here goes nothing.
75
Where did you hide the latest device?
76
It's stashed away in a secure spot where your boss, Mason, will never sniff it out.
77
I designed that device for the CIA, you know, to keep people safe from crooks like you.
78
Tell us where it is, or else we'll pluck every strand of hair on your head with a tweezer.
79
Is that even lethal?
80
Erica!
81
Now will you tell me what's going on?
82
Maybe after you untie me.
83
Watch out, he's coming for you!
84
Jeez, where did you learn how to be such a karate kid?
85
TV.
86
Come on, quick, let's get the heck out of here!
87
Wait, not so fast.
88
I need to retrieve the device.
89
What?
90
What device?
91
Are you kidding me?
92
Did you see the size of this guy?
93
We need to run before he gets up!
94
You go, and if I don't come back, call the cops.
95
I need to get the device I invented, or else...
96
Lot of people will be in danger.
97
Are you crazy?
98
Why would you create a device for bad guys?
99
Hey?
100
Didn't it was for the CIA and then we have to hide
101
My Jeep is parked outside
102
if we get out now we can get away no Erica
103
You don't understand these people are not going to leave me
104
alone until they get what they want I didn't you ever open up to me about all this before
105
because you and your buddies labeled me as a geek nerd
106
And you always made it seem like I was the big dumb sister who never got an A+.
107
Do you know how frustrating it was competing with you?
108
I never asked to be a genius.
109
It happened, and I never expected you to compete with me.
110
What do you think mom would have done in this situation?
111
Well, she isn't here.
112
All we've got is ourselves.
113
Well, I miss her, and I wish she was...
114
ZAVE!
115
No!
116
How did we get here?
117
I think they knocked us out and then tied us up.
118
How are we gonna get out of here, Steve?
119
I don't know, Erica.
120
I'm scared out of my mind.
121
Why did I ever create that dumb device?
122
Now we're bo - Listen.
123
I'm here with you, so no need to be scared.
124
What even did you invent?
125
This mind -boggling device I've engineered is a revolutionary neuro -connective interface.
126
It combines cutting -edge neuroimaging technology with advanced artificial intelligence algorithms.
127
By analyzing neural patterns and decoding brainwave frequencies, it can extract thoughts, emotions, and even subconscious desires.
128
It's like having a direct neural connection to someone's inner world.
129
I was recruited by this technology company, and I made this device as an undercover Okay, that's supposed to be a good thing.
130
What happened?
131
After I invented the mind reader device, the chief executive's brother, Mason, started acting strange.
132
And then one day, he offered me more money to work for a new company he started.
133
I told him I would think about it, and then all of a sudden, it was being followed.
134
He got his guys to bring me to this place.
135
Mason offered me more than a million dollars for the device.
136
Wow!
137
Did you take the money?
138
No!
139
I wanted to, but then I found out what his plan was.
140
He was going to use the device to take control of mankind by reading their minds
141
and manipulating their lives in the most sick and vicious way imaginable.
142
That's absolutely horrifying.
143
We can't let him get away with this.
144
Yeah, that's why I need to keep the device hidden.
145
Real tight!
146
What if you showed them where the device is and when they let us go, we go to the cops?
147
They're never gonna let us off the hook, Erica.
148
We know way too much about their shady de - Ah, come now Steve, my boy.
149
That's not true.
150
Once you show me where the device is, I'll let you two birds fly free without any trouble.
151
I don't believe anything you say, Mason.
152
Well, I can play this game forever and leave you and your sister in here to rot!
153
Does it include a nuclear explosion?
154
Erica, what are you doing?
155
This guy is crazy!
156
All he wants is to end the world!
157
Yeah, my device does that nuclear effect.
158
If you let us go, I can take you to it.
159
Erica, are you serious right now?
160
I just saved you from getting kicked in the face, Dufus.
161
Enough!
162
I don't want your dumb nuclear device.
163
Convince your brother to do what's right.
164
Or else I'll leave you in here with my very hungry dog.
165
Take us to a public place, and then my brother will tell you where the device is.
166
Erika, what are you doing?
167
He can't harm us in public.
168
So, what is it, Mason?
169
At least your sister has some common sense.
170
Fine, we'll do it your way.
171
My guys will be on the search once your brother reveals the hiding place.
172
And if he lies...
173
I won't be afraid to do anything in public. So here we are.
174
Now speak, boy.
175
Have you ever considered what your brother would think when he learns of your treachery?
176
Your actions could jeopardize his CIA contract!
177
My brother has always been a spoiled brat growing up.
178
It's high time he experiences the bitter taste of failure.
179
Now my patience is running out.
180
Tell me where the device is.
181
Fine!
182
Oh my goodness!
183
Madonna!
184
The one and only rock star goddess!
185
I have to talk to her about my band!
186
Sit down this instant!
187
I don't care what you do right now!
188
This is my once in a lifetime dream come true!
189
Being up close and personal with Queen Madonna has been my childhood dream!
190
And nobody can stop me!
191
Get your sister back here immediately!
192
You heard her!
193
No one can stop her!
194
Do you want me to put a leash on her?
195
Okay, okay.
196
Give me a second.
197
I have this band.
198
We call ourselves the Grasshoppers.
199
But yeah, you have been my inspiration ever since I was born.
200
Like, you mean the world to me and - Erika!
201
Erika!
202
big event.
203
I really wish you could come see us.
204
Erika, we're still in a lot of trouble.
205
Let's get back to the table.
206
Fine!
207
Wait, I just thought of something, but you have to be ready.
208
Well, if it means me not giving them what they want, then I'm ready.
209
Run!
210
What are we gonna do now?
211
Mason has his goons in every inch of the city!
212
We go to the cops?
213
No!
214
He's got connections with the police too!
215
Great!
216
We are so fried!
217
First, let's try to lose this big guy!
218
- I don't see how crazy Jane is gonna help us with any of the trouble we're in.
219
Uh, I don't have any sodas, but I can make you guys some tea if you like.
220
Great, just what we need.
221
A frickin' tea party while a bunch of criminals are after us.
222
Water will be fine, thanks.
223
Jane is my best friend, and a computer genius.
224
I think she can help us if you give her a chance.
225
So, Steve, if you created that device for the CIA, shouldn't they be able to protect you?
226
within the CIA.
227
Putting my faith in the wrong hands could still end up costing me my entire future.
228
I could totally hack into the CIA files for you.
229
I've got some serious skills when it comes to this stuff.
230
My uncle used to work there back in his day, and before he passed away, he showed me a bunch of epic tricks and techniques.
231
Wow, that would be great.
232
Having someone from the inside there to protect us would help.
233
But what if they can't be trusted?
234
Don't worry.
235
That's why I'm here.
236
I'll do a background check before I refer you.
237
Looks like someone has the huts for you.
238
Should I be planning your wedding?
239
- Here comes the nerds.
240
- You have time for jokes?
241
- Jimmy Crabfeet.
242
Halfbeat?
243
Yeah, funny last name.
244
But his profile is clean, and I think he can save you from this problem.
245
Thank you, Jane.
246
How do I get a hold of him?
247
We could call him and have him meet us here.
248
Let's do it.
249
Okay, an hour has passed and this CIA guy is still not here.
250
Chill out.
251
Maybe he got stuck in traffic.
252
It's 11pm at night.
253
What traffic is there?
254
I need to use the bathroom.
255
Do something in your kitchen?
256
Sure.
257
Knock yourself out.
258
What are you doing?
259
Looking for her spices, carbonate soda, and vinegar.
260
Okay.
261
Now I need a plastic bottle.
262
Are you gonna tell me what you're up to?
263
Found the bottle.
264
I don't trust anyone right now, so I'm preparing something to protect us.
265
Mom showed me how to do this.
266
If danger comes to us, we will have this to spray in their eyes.
267
You can trust Jane.
268
I've known her for years.
269
Yeah, well, she's not blood, and blood is thicker than water in situations like these, so trust me.
270
Did you get what you wanted from the kitchen?
271
Yep.
272
I get really thirsty... So - That's okay.
273
Hmm?
274
Looks like our guy is here.
275
Hello again.
276
How did you get your first holiday gig?
277
Steve, Erica, meet my uncle Mason.
278
Erica, I think we're gonna need Mom's recipe now!
279
Not my eyes again!
280
I can't see!
281
I can't see!
282
That will teach you about being a traitor!
283
My brother cared about you!
284
Forget about her!
285
We need to get out of here!
286
How deep did you dig to hide the device?
287
Don't worry, we're almost there!
288
I am worried.
289
We're on the enemy's territory.
290
They don't know I hid the device here.
291
They're out there looking for us.
292
There it is!
293
Ha ha ha!
294
Wow!
295
This looks like some kind of alien gadget.
296
Pretty cool, huh?
297
Not so cool, since we are in all of this trouble because of it!
298
Now what do we do?
299
I...
300
I called someone.
301
What?
302
You know we can't trust anyone!
303
It's an old person, one of Mom's friends.
304
She's an old cop and I think she can help us.
305
Oh, Erika, what have you done?
306
Finally, we have the device.
307
Ah, Steve, my loyal accomplice.
308
You've done well.
309
With this device I shall possess the power to invade the minds of every soul on this planet.
310
Their thoughts shall be mine to manipulate.
311
Their secrets exposed to my wicked desire.
312
No one shall be safe from my reign of psychological dominance.
313
I guess there's nothing more you need from me now.
314
You're funny.
315
But you're right.
316
There is nothing more I need from you.
317
So I'll just have my guy here.
318
Get rid of you two.
319
No!
320
Wait!
321
We won't say anything!
322
Please!
323
What is going on here?
324
Looks like Mom's friend didn't sell us out after all.
325
I guess there are still some good people we can trust.
326
Thank you, Mom.
327
Thank you, Erika.
328
You saved us.
329
Erika, right?
330
Madonna?
331
You actually came? Of course.
332
You and your band were incredible tonight.
333
This is my card.
334
Maybe we can collaborate on something special.
335
Did you hear what she just said?
336
Oh my goodness, dreams really do come true.
337
Hey, Erika, you totally killed it tonight.
338
And congratulations on the Madonna encounter.
339
We aren't grateful to have him as the best little brother in the world.
このレッスンについて
このレッスンでは、エリカとスティーブの会話を通じて、日常的な英会話の表現を学びます。会話の流れや感情の表現を理解し、実際のコミュニケーションに役立つフレーズやボキャブラリーを中心に練習しましょう。また、特にスピード感やトーンを意識したシャドースピーキングの技術を磨く機会を提供します。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- rock star - ロックスター
- chill - 落ち着いて
- dweeb - オタク（軽蔑的な表現）
- creep up on - ひょっと近づく
- dangerous spy stuff - 危険なスパイの事柄
- device - デバイス
- escape - 逃げる
- stay out of my business - 私の干渉しないで
練習のヒント
このビデオでのシャドースピーキング練習には、いくつかの重要なポイントがあります。まず、会話の速度は自然であり、少しカジュアルなトーンであるため、リラックスして臨むことが大切です。また、感情豊かな表現を意識しながら練習すると良いでしょう。特に、エリカの不安やスティーブの緊張感を声に出すことで、より生き生きとした練習ができます。
通っているシャドーサイトで、各フレーズの後に少し考える時間を持つと、発音やイントネーションを身につけやすくなります。特に「creep up on」や「stay out of my business」といったフレーズは、リアルな会話でよく使われるため、重点的に反復しましょう。シャドースピーチの際は、自分の声をしっかりと録音して、後で振り返りながら改善点を見つけることも効果的です。
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。
