1
So you think this might not get into the national press?
2
Well, a few lines on the inside page of The Guardian, but nothing to worry about.
3
Actually, it's only the urban middle class who worry about the preservation of the countryside because they don't have to live in it.
4
Will that be all, Minister?
5
Yes.
6
No!
7
This may well blow over, but it doesn't answer my basic question.
8
Which was?
9
Why wasn't I told about it before I made the announcement?
10
There are those who have argued, and indeed cogently, that on occasion there are some things it is better for a minister not to know.
11
What are you talking about?
12
Minister, your answers in the House and at the press conference were superb.
13
You were convincing and convinced.
14
The critics were silenced.
15
But could you have spoken with the same authority if the ecological pressure group had been abadgering you?
16
But I have a right to know.
17
I am the people's representative.
18
What right have you got to withhold this information from me?
19
It's intolerant.
20
It's in your own best interest, Minister.
21
What do you mean, something that is better for a minister not to know?
22
I mean, it's outrageous.
23
It must not occur again.
24
And it so happens that I've got a plan here for the reorganization of this department which will ensure that it doesn't.
25
Indeed?
26
Yes, indeed.
27
Now, if I were to have one under-secretary and two assistant secretaries reporting directly to me...
28
Minister, please.
29
No, just a moment, Humphrey.
30
Let me tell you my plan.
31
The plan is immaterial.
32
Minister, I have something to say to you which you may not like to hear.
33
Why should today be any different?
34
Minister, the traditional allocation of executive responsibilities has always been so determined as to
35
liberate the ministerial incumbent from the administrative minutiae by devolving the managerial functions to those whose experience and qualifications have better formed them for the performance of such humble offices,
36
thereby releasing their political overlords for the more onerous duties and profound deliberations which are the inevitable concomitant of their exalted position.
37
Now, whatever made you think I wouldn't want to hear that?
38
Well, I thought it might upset you.
39
How could it?
40
I didn't understand a single word.
41
Comfrey, for God's sake, for once in your life, put it into plain English.
42
If you insist, you are not here to run this department.
43
I beg your pardon?
44
You are not here to run this department.
45
I think I am.
46
The people think I am too.
47
With respect, Minister, you are...
48
They are wrong.
49
And who does run this department?
50
I do.
51
I see.
52
And what am I supposed to do?
53
We've been through all this before.
54
Make policy, get legislation enacted, and above all, secure the department's budget in cabinet.
55
I sometimes think that the budget is all you ever really care about.
56
It is rather important, Minister.
57
If nobody cared about the budget, we might end up with a department so small that even a minister could run it.
58
Humphrey, are we about to have a fundamental disagreement about the nature of democracy?
59
No, Minister, merely a demarcation dispute.
60
What I mean is that the menial chore of running a department is beneath you.
61
You're fashioned for a nobler calling.
62
Well, I'm quite prepared to leave the routine paperwork to you, but I must insist on direct access to all information.
63
again do I want to hear that phrase there are some things it is better for a minister not to know exactly well minutes I do that is an order Humphrey as you say minister if that is what you really want to treating cabinet ministers as though they were irresponsible ten-year-olds
64
Thank you.

このレッスンについて

このレッスンでは、BBCのコメディ『Yes, Minister』の一部を通じて、英語のスピーキングプラクティスを行います。このビデオからは、政治的な議論の場面や決定の背後にあるコミュニケーションの複雑さを学ぶことができます。特に、相手を説得するための口調や具体的な表現を練習し、英語スピーキング練習を通じて自身の表現力を向上させましょう。そして、実践を通して、素早い反応が求められるスピーチのリズムにも慣れていくことができます。

重要な語彙とフレーズ

  • agreed - 同意した
  • representative - 代表者
  • outrageous - 信じられない
  • convincing - 説得力のある
  • information - 情報
  • department - 部門
  • authority - 権威

練習のヒント

このビデオのスピードとトーンはテンポが速く、かつユーモラスな要素が含まれています。shadow speakを使って、話している人物の発音やリズムをそのまま模倣することが重要です。特に、役人のように堅苦しい表現を避け、よりシンプルで直接的な言い回しを意識しましょう。ビデオを何度もリピートして、自分の声で繰り返すことで、shadow speechの効果を感じることができます。また、YouTubeで英語学習を活用し、他のビデオも見ながら様々な話し方に慣れていくと良いでしょう。

さらに、IELTS スピーキング対策としては、速い会話にも対応できるよう、一定のスピードで話し続ける練習を行ってください。自信を持って話すことができるようになるためには、反復がカギとなります。ぜひ、友達や先生ともこの練習を共有し、互いにフィードバックを与えながら進めていくと良いでしょう。

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。
