1
Humans craved enlightenment.
2
To find it, they'd need a spiritual role model,
3
an icon, an almost Christ-like figure.
4
And as luck would have it,
5
someone fitting that bell was about to arrive.
6
None other than Mr Jesus Christ.
7
An icon who was almost as revered back then as Beyoncé is today.
8
Jesus' mum was this woman,
9
the Virgin Mary, who one night got visited by an angel and told she'd been gotten pregnant by a Holy Ghost.
10
Of course, actual ghost is ectoplasm,
11
which only contains ghost sperm.
12
But Jesus wasn't born a phantom,
13
leading experts to believe Mary wasn't impregnated by a real ghost,
14
but by a man in a sheet, like in Scooby-Doo.
15
Jesus was born Jewish, but soon converted to carpentry as he followed his dad into the primitive chair and table industry.
16
What's ironic about Jesus Christ becoming a carpenter was he was
17
actually named after the two words you're most likely to shout after hitting your thumb with a hammer.
18
Scholars believe he was a real historical figure,
19
like Justin Timberlake or Garfield.
20
Whether or not they think he was the actual son of God who performed miracles,
21
like walking on wine or helping a deaf man seek,
22
they all agree he preached tolerance and forgiveness.
23
A message so important his most ardent followers would eventually start killing anyone who didn't want to hear it.
24
I don't want to hear it.
25
Murray had to give birth here on the floor,
26
like a crack addict, and then lay him in a manger.
27
Manger is another word for trough,
28
and it's where we get the name for modern sandwich chain ready to trough.
29
He was born in a humble stable,
30
which, ironically, isn't a stable environment for a baby,
31
unless it's a baby donkey,
32
which, if records are to be believed, Jesus wasn't.
33
In fact, as this actual painting makes clear,
34
when Christ was born, he had a magic flaming circle on his head,
35
which would have set fire to all the hay and pubes as he came out.
36
The baby Jesus wasn't an ordinary baby.
37
He was born with a big yellow circle round his head,
38
which must have been hell for Mary to push out,
39
especially when you think nothing had ever been in or out of her down below before.
40
If only he had been born a ghost after all.
41
Then he could have just floated out,
42
clanking chains and going woo.
43
Where did Father Christmas come from?
44
Father Christmas comes from St Nicholas,
45
and he is a fourth-century Greek saint and bishop,
46
and he was very renowned for giving presents to the poor,
47
and particularly he gave presents to these three girls.
48
If he hadn't given them the money,
49
they would have had to go off and be prostitutes.
50
So why was he knocking about with these prostitutes?
51
I don't think he knew them very well.
52
It's just that they...
53
Well, well enough to give them gifts.
54
...give them money.
55
I don't...
56
I think he just wanted to save them from the horrors of...
57
I think because basically...
58
Well, they all say that, don't they?
59
They do.
60
How come shops have Father Christmases,
61
but they don't have Jesuses?
62
Is Jesuses the right term?
63
Is it G's I?
64
Is it Jezi or...?
65
I think we'd say Figures of Jesus.
66
Figures of Jesus?
67
I think that Father Christmas himself would probably have preferred there to be Figures of Jesus,
68
because, in fact, there is a medieval story.
69
St Nicholas got in a punch-up about whether or not God or Jesus was greater and was thrown into prison.
70
So he was obviously very exercised about the purity of religion.
71
It's all coming out, isn't it?
72
You know, cos, like, I didn't know that I used to hang about with prostitutes or get into fights.
73
Now I'm feeling less happy with him coming down my chimney.
74
Jesus was killed because people didn't like what he was saying,
75
So could you call him the first celebrity victim of cancel culture?
76
I think cancel culture would sort of require the idea
77
that people really saw Jesus as standing for something and they were sure they knew what it was.
78
Oh, no. Sorry.
79
That wasn't the question.
80
I'm literally asking if you could call him the first celebrity victim of cancel culture for our show.
81
Down that lens there.
82
You know, it's a sort of,
83
it's for a credit sequence with punchy sound bites in it.
84
Off you go.
85
Down that, down that lens.
86
Okay, down this lens.
87
Yeah.
88
You might even say Jesus was the first celebrity victim of cancel culture.
89
Brilliant, thank you.

このビデオで話す練習をする理由
英語スピーキング練習を行う際、文化的な背景やユーモアを理解することは非常に重要です。このビデオでは、キリスト教の象徴的人物であるイエス・キリストを取り上げ、彼の誕生に関するユニークな視点を示しています。特に「shadow speech」と呼ばれる方法は、ビデオの内容に合わせて声を出す練習を行うことで、自然な英語のリズムやイントネーションを習得するのに役立ちます。周囲の文化的な文脈を把握することで、会話の中での柔軟性や応答力が向上します。これにより、IELTS スピーキング対策にも効果的です。
文法と表現の文脈
このビデオから得られる3つの重要な文法構造や表現について分析しましょう。
- 現在完了形: 「彼は実際に存在した歴史的な人物で、...」のような表現は、現在完了形の使い方を示しています。この形は、過去の経験が今にどのように影響を与えるかを表現する際に非常に有効です。
- 比喩: 「彼はほとんどビヨンセのように崇拝されていました」という比喩を使用することで、わかりやすい比喩表現を学べます。日常会話でも比喩を使うことで、より生き生きとした表現が可能になります。
- 未来形: 「...誰かが聞きたくない場合、殺す選択肢を選んだ。」という未来形の使用は、予想される結果や行動を示すために重要です。状況に応じた適切な未来形の使い方を身につけましょう。
一般的な発音の罠
このビデオには、英語を学ぶ際に注意が必要な発音やアクセントがいくつか含まれています。例えば:
- 「Jesus」という単語: 正しい発音は「ジーザス」ですが、英語のネイティブスピーカーは時々「イエス」と発音することがあります。発音のトラップに気をつけて練習してください。
- 「ghost」という単語: この単語は「ゴースト」と発音し、音が連結するため、スムーズな発音を意識しましょう。
- 「forgiveness」のアクセント: 「フォギブネス」と強調する部分が重要です。正しいアクセントを習得することで、より自然な英語を話せるようになります。
これらのポイントに注意しながら、英語スピーキング練習を行うことで、さらなる自信を持って会話に臨むことができるでしょう。shadow speechを取り入れて、効果的な学習を進めてみてください。
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。
