1
It was a royal welcome for the Prince and Princess of Wales Wednesday on their first U.S visit in eight years.
2
Here to present the Earthshot Prize, which honors environmentalists.
3
They kicked off the trip by helping turn Boston City Hall green.
4
Katherine and I are absolutely delighted to be with you today for our first engagement in the great city of Boston.
5
The couple also took in an NBA game courtside, watching the Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat.
6
And then they hold this big star-studded event on Friday night
7
where they're gonna hand out five prizes worth more than a
8
million dollars each to folks who are trying to tackle the climate crisis.
9
Okay, first of all, Prince William is clearly a liar.
10
All right?
11
No one has ever been delighted to be in Boston in December.
12
December?
13
What are you excited for?
14
Oh, I love chapped lips and getting thrown up on by Patriots fans.
15
How peachy!
16
You been there in December?
17
And you might be saying, no, Trevor, they're having a good time.
18
They even have corsite seats.
19
You think these people are impressed by courtside seats?
20
The man's regular seat is a throne.
21
This man has never sat on a folding chair in his life.
22
He's probably like, Look at this thing.
23
This chair has a mouth or something, Kate.
24
Now, if we had the time, we could talk more about how great it is that Prince William
25
and Kate are awarding money to people who are trying to solve climate change, or how shitty it is that they ignored my idea to plug in a bunch of air conditioners near the glaciers.
26
Would have worked.
27
But we just don't have the time for that because while these royals are having fun in America, the royals back home in the U.K are not having a good time at all.
28
Overshadowing the trip, controversy back at Buckingham Palace.
29
The prince's godmother, Lady Susan Hussey, resigning amid accusations of racism.
30
Ngozi Filani, the founder of a women's nonprofit and a black woman born in the U.K., says Tuesday at the palace,
31
Hussey repeatedly asked where she was really from, implying she wasn't really British.
32
Ngozi Filoni tweeting the exchange, which reads in part, What nationality are you?
33
I am born here and I'm British.
34
No, but where do you really come from?
35
Where do your people come from?
36
Hussie also asking, quote, What part of Africa are you from?
37
After Ngozi said she was from London.
38
Tonight, an eyewitness describing her shock at the exchange.
39
If Ngozi was a white woman, that kind of questioning wouldn't have taken place.
40
People, how many times do we have to go through this?
41
There is only one socially acceptable way to find out someone's heritage.
42
You swab their DNA while they're asleep, okay?
43
It's the polite thing to do.
44
This is like the first thing they teach you in Avoidable Racism 101.
45
It is just never say the word from.
46
That's it.
47
includes the word from.
48
So just avoid it altogether.
49
Where are you really from?
50
Go back to where you came from.
51
You see this clip from Tucker Carlson? From.
52
Just stay away from it.
53
And I also love how this woman was given a chance to control-out-delete her racism, right?
54
But instead, she just copy-pasted and carried on.
55
Where are you from?
56
I'm born here, and I'm British.
57
No, no, no, you don't understand.
58
I'm being racist.
59
How black are you?
60
Show me on this map of Africa I brought with me.
61
Oh, let me put it in words you understand.
62
Gunga-munga-gunga-gunga.
63
Gunga.
64
Coke bottles falling from the sky.
65
Now, if we had more time, we could talk about how having a racist godmother probably made Prince William even more popular in Boston.
66
Or we could talk about how every scandal in the British
67
monarchy is technically a spoiler for a future season of The Crown.
68
But we just don't have time for that, because I know where our show's money comes from, which is why we need to go to a commercial break.
69
We'll be right back.

この動画で話す練習をする理由

この動画は、イギリス王室の訪問や人種差別のスキャンダルに関する重要なトピックを扱っています。話し手が感情を込めて意見を述べる様子を観察することで、英語のスピーキング能力を向上させることができます。特に、意見を表明する際のフレーズや構文に焦点を当てることで、shadow speechやshadowspeakの技術を活かし、自分の意見を英語で効果的に伝える力を養うことができます。

文法と表現の使い方

  • "What nationality are you?" - この質問は、相手の国籍を尋ねる際の一般的な表現です。自身の国籍を説明する時に使えます。
  • "Where do you really come from?" - このフレーズは、相手の出自に関する問いかけで、注意が必要です。文化的な背景を理解するために使えますが、丁寧な言い回しが求められます。
  • "What part of Africa are you from?" - 具体的な地域を尋ねる例です。このような質問はしばしば誤解を生む可能性があるので、文脈に気を付ける必要があります。
  • "She was born here and she's British." - 認識を強調するための表現です。主語を明確にすることで、より強いメッセージを伝えることができます。

一般的な発音の落とし穴

動画中に含まれる特有の言い回しや発音には、英語学習者がよくつまずく部分があります。例えば、"Boston"の発音は、地域によって異なるため、正しい発音を意識することが重要です。また、"really"や"from"といった言葉は、早口で話すと聞き取りにくくなることがあります。shadow speechを用いて、これらの単語を何度も繰り返して練習することが効果的です。発音を正確にすることで、より高いコミュニケーション能力を身につけましょう。

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。
