Unit 1.
2
Be Master of Disguise.
3
A. Octopuses are famous for their round bodies, big eyes and eight arms.
4
There are many different types of octopuses but all are alike in one way.
5
They are masters of disguise.
6
Octopuses can change their appearance in less than a second to look like rocks, plants or even other animals.
7
How do they do this?
8
B. An octopus can disguise itself in three ways.
9
One is by using colour.
10
An octopus's skin has special cells called chromatophores.
11
These cells are filled with yellow, brown and red pigment.
12
When an octopus moves its muscles a certain way, the cells become large and produce colourful spots and other patterns on its skin.
13
Chromatophores can also reflect light.
14
In blue light, for example, an octopus's skin will look blue.
15
In white light, its skin will look white.
16
With these cells, an octopus can produce many different skin colours and patterns.
17
See, an octopus can also change its skin texture.
18
When the octopus moves its muscles, its skin can go from smooth to spiky.
19
It might then look like a plant or coral.
20
Another way an octopus disguises itself is by changing its shape.
21
Some, for example, roll their bodies into balls so they look like rocks.
22
One type of octopus can change its form to look like other sea creatures, especially dangerous ones such as sea snakes.
23
D. Why are octopuses so good at disguising themselves?
24
They have to be.
25
The ocean is not a safe place for them because they have no bones in their bodies.
26
Octopuses are like large pieces of meat.
27
Many predators want to eat them and they can eat them whole.
28
To survive, octopuses have developed the amazing ability to change their appearance very quickly in order to hide from predators.
29
All muscle, no bones.
30
An octopus's body has many muscles.
31
This makes it strong and fast.
32
Octopuses also have no bones, so they can change their shape very quickly.
33
An octopus brain holds only one-third of the animal's neurons, nerve cells.
34
It handles functions such as decision-making, learning and memory.
35
An octopus has three hearts, one large central heart and two smaller ones on either side.
36
About two-thirds of an octopus's neurons are in its arms.
37
These neurons control the arm movements.
38
Octopuses can change their appearance to match their surroundings things.
39
Once the brain gives a signal, the octopus's muscles move in a certain way,
40
changing its skin from smooth to spiky and producing colourful spots or stripes on its

実生活の場面：オクトパスの驚くべき変装能力
海中では、オクトパスが捕食者から逃れるために一瞬で姿を変える様子があります。このビデオでは、その変装の仕組みや理由が詳しく説明されています。日常生活でも、動物の生態について話す場面や、科学的な話題を議論する際に、このような内容が役立つでしょう。
覚えておきたいフレーズとコロケーション
- masters of disguise：変装の達人。「オクトパスは変装の達人です」という文で使えます。
- change their appearance：姿を変える。「一瞬で姿を変える」は "change their appearance in less than a second" と表現します。
- special cells called chromatophores：クロマトフォアと呼ばれる特殊な細胞。科学的な説明でよく使われる表現です。
- hide from predators：捕食者から隠れる。「捕食者から逃れるために隠れる」は "hide from predators to survive" となります。
あなたのシャドーイングチャレンジ
シャドーイング（shadowing）は、英語の発音やリズムを覚えるのに最適な方法です。このビデオの「B」の部分を使って、次のように練習してみましょう。まず、ビデオを1回聴き、内容を理解します。それから、1文ずつ止めながら、すぐに後ろから繰り返します。特に「chromatophores」のような難しい単語の発音に注意して、リズムを合わせて話してみてください。シャドーイングサイト（shadowing site）を使えば、より効率的に練習できます。毎日5分間、継続的に行うと、発音が自然になり、聴解力も向上しますよ。
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。
