From BBC Learning English, this is Learning English from the News,
2
our podcast about the news headlines.
3
In this programme, passengers leave Hantavirus ship.
4
Hello, I'm Bekah.
5
And I'm Phil.
6
In this programme, we look at one big news story and the vocabulary in the headlines that will help you understand it.
7
You can find all the vocabulary and headlines from this episode,
8
as well as a worksheet on our website bbclearningenglish.com.
9
So, let's hear more about this story.
10
All passengers have now left the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondias after a voyage
11
that led to the death of three people from Hantavirus,
12
a virus usually found in rats.
13
One passenger is thought to have caught the virus while bird watching in Ushuaia,
14
Argentina, where the ship's journey began.
15
The virus does not easily spread between people,
16
but people who do catch it often die.
17
The World Health Organization has said that there is no sign of a larger outbreak at the moment,
18
but as the disease takes a long time to develop, this could change.
19
Many countries have taken action to isolate or quarantine their citizens who returned from the ship.
20
Let's have our first headline.
21
This headline is from Le Monde, a French newspaper.
22
Hantavirus.
23
After first positive case in France,
24
government aims to break chain of transmission.
25
That headline again, and this is from Le Monde, a French newspaper.
26
Hantavirus.
27
After first positive case in France,
28
government aims to break chain of transmission.
29
This headline is talking about the quarantine measures taken by the French government.
30
We're looking at the expression break the chain.
31
To understand this we need to think about how chain works as a metaphor.
32
Yes, literally a chain is lots of connected pieces, usually of metal.
33
One of the metaphorical uses of chain is to talk about a sequence of connected events.
34
Here we're talking about the chain of transmission,
35
which is describing how infectious illnesses pass from one person to another.
36
If the chain is broken,
37
by quarantine for example, then it stops the disease passing from one person to another.
38
There are lots of different kinds of chains that we can talk about in this way and that we can break.
39
If someone interrupts you when you're being creative,
40
they break your chain of thought.
41
A series of connected negative events could be a chain of events.
42
If you stop those events,
43
you could break the chain of negative events.
44
You might also talk about breaking the chain of consequences.
45
We've had break the chain.
46
Stop something continuing.
47
For example, don't talk to me now,
48
you'll break my chain of thought.
49
This is Learning English from the News,
50
our podcast about the news headlines.
51
Today we're talking about the Hantavirus outbreak on a Dutch cruise ship.
52
A number of countries in Europe,
53
the Americas and Asia are taking measures to test
54
or isolate people who were on the ship or who have been in contact with those on the ship.
55
In Britain, 20 people were taken to a specific hospital for an initial period of isolation and tests.
56
And that's what our next headline is about.
57
And this is from ITVX,
58
the website of a British broadcaster.
59
Hantavirus, testing well underway for cruise Britons isolating at UK hospital.
60
And that headline again from ITVX,
61
Hantavirus, testing well underway for cruise Britons isolating at UK hospital.
62
We're going to learn underway.
63
It means in progress.
64
This is a very common adjectival phrase and we can use it to talk about any event,
65
process or plan.
66
A class or a party can be underway.
67
Your plans can be underway.
68
A testing process can be underway.
69
As in this headline, we often use it after well to emphasise that something has definitely started
70
or that it has been in progress for some time.
71
We've had underway, in progress.
72
For example, rehearsals for our play are well underway now.
73
This is Learning English from the News from BBC Learning English.
74
We're talking about the hantavirus outbreak on the Dutch ship MV Hondius.
75
First, the ship left Ushuaia at the southern tip of South America on 20 March.
76
After visiting Antarctica and returning to the city,
77
it then sailed north across the Atlantic on the 1st of April.
78
One passenger died 10 days later.
79
His wife then left the ship and travelled to South Africa,
80
where she died on the 26th of April.
81
A third passenger died on the 2nd of May.
82
And our next headline is about this.
83
This headline is from El Pais, a Spanish newspaper.
84
Logbook of the MV Hondias,
85
from Ushuaia to the Canary Islands.
86
chronology of a hantavirus outbreak.
87
That headline again from El Pais, a Spanish newspaper.
88
Logbook of the MV Hondias from Ushuaia to the Canary Islands chronology of a hantavirus outbreak.
89
This headline introduces an article that explains when different events in this story happened and we're going to learn the word chronology.
90
A A chronology is a description of a sequence of events,
91
saying when they happened and in which order.
92
A chronology can be useful when investigating an incident or to help people understand a complex series of events.
93
Here, the chronology is helping people understand how the situation on the ship developed.
94
We've been looking at the noun,
95
but the related adjective chronological and adverb chronologically are probably more commonly used.
96
If you describe events chronologically or in chronological order,
97
you say what happened first and then what happened next.
98
And just a note on pronunciation here,
99
there's different stress on these similar words.
100
Have a listen.
101
Chronology, chronological.
102
We've had chronology, a sequence of events.
103
For example, the investigators established a chronology of what happened.
104
That's it for this episode of Learning English from the News.
105
We'll be back next week with another news story.

このレッスンについて
このレッスンでは、ハンタウイルスに関連したニュースを通じて、英語のリスニングとスピーキングのスキルを向上させることを目指します。特に、健康問題や隔離措置に関する重要な語彙を学び、またこの語彙を使った文を作り、英語の発音を良くする練習を行います。これにより、ネイティブスピーカーとの会話に自信を持てるようになります。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- Hantavirus（ハンタウイルス）: 通常はネズミに存在するウイルスです。
- passenger（乗客）: 船や飛行機などの乗り物に乗っている人。
- quarantine（隔離）: 感染の拡大を防ぐために人々を特定の場所に留めること。
- chain of transmission（感染経路）: 疾病がどのようにして人から人に伝播するかを示す概念。
- isolate（隔離する）: 他と分離して考えるまたは行動すること。
- break the chain（連鎖を断つ）: 連続している事象や感染を止めること。
練習のヒント
このビデオでは、実際のニュースのトーンとリズムに合わせて英語を学ぶことができます。最初は、shadowing siteを利用して、スクリプトを見ながら音声を聞くことをお勧めします。音声の速度はやや速いため、リスニングに専念するのが良いでしょう。また、shadowspeaksを使って繰り返し音読を行い、言葉のアクセントやイントネーションに慣れることが大切です。何度も聞いて話す練習をすることで、英語の発音を良くすることができます。
特に、語彙やフレーズを繰り返す際、英語シャドーイングにチャレンジしてみましょう。フレーズを一度聞いた後、すぐに声に出してみてください。これにより、自然な発音が身につき、会話の流暢さが向上します。YouTubeで英語学習に必要な情報が豊富に揃っているので、ぜひ活用してみてください。
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。
