1
What was I thinking the other day?
2
It's called the interlude on 12 play by R.
3
Kelly
4
They don't generally have it on karaoke things but
5
if anyone listens to that song it's referencing the name Robert quite a lot Yeah, back in the day they used to say Can I knock your boots today?
6
But they'd say What is the end of it?
7
It's basically the whole thing is how everyone used to say No Robert, no Robert, no Robert but at the end it's like, yes Robert, you go boy.
8
R. Kelly's talking to himself, his name is also Robert.
9
It's a very kind of life-affirming tune for Roberts.
10
My first job when I was 15 or 16 is I was Reese Witherspoon's son in a vanity fair,
11
which I got cut from.
12
I went to the screening and no one had informed me that I was cut, but the casting director, Mary Selway, she felt so guilty that no one had informed me,
13
but she basically gave me a first first run at the part in Harry Potter
14
so I was quite glad I got cut in the end.
15
I flew out to LA to actually audition for something else which was told I was told it was
16
mine to take it was just on a plate
17
and I went in and completely ruined the audition
18
and then the the next day it was the Twilight audition
19
and I think I was at such a kind of nothing-to-lose state it was quite easy for me to do.
20
I never really quite knew how to play a vampire though, I just sort of like this sort of pale, pale person.
21
It was such a wild experience and what a strange way to spend my early 20s.
22
I've always been interested in quite subversive kind of, I guess things that It scared me.
23
I mean, even Twilight at the time, I mean, I really thought when we first signed up to it, if it hadn't been so successful, I think people would have thought it was really weird.
24
It's a really weird story.
25
But I think once it becomes mainstream, it's difficult for people to see how strange the story is.
26
I had to give her a cesarean by chewing through a placenta, and I don't even know how to medical, how it works, but I was definitely chewing through something.
27
I saw a photo from Heaven Knows What, the Safdie brothers, Josh and Benny Safdie's previous movies.
28
I just thought, I just thought about the photo, it was just on the banner of a website.
29
I was just like, that's just an incredible photo and I just asked around to see if anybody knew them.
30
Met up with them in LA and I just really, really, I loved them in the meeting.
31
I hadn't seen any of their stuff at all.
32
And just from the strength of that meeting, we were like, let's just do something.
33
It's a good time.
34
Me and Benny Safdie, we went out a few times in Carrotillo, we got jobs at a car wash.
35
Benny started pulling off people's windscreen wipers and stuff.
36
It's very real to me.
37
I mean, we're actually committing crimes.
38
I've never done anything like it, where you just kind of full on go in character to spend an entire day in character.
39
We did it a few times.
40
Like shooting on the subway, and we're were stealing so many shots.
41
Shooting on a packed subway at rush hour.
42
We were shooting on 35mm cameras as well, big lenses.
43
One could really tell.
44
I was just getting directed by text message.
45
I can open a beer bottle with pretty much any object.
46
I can open it with a tea bag.
47
I can do it with a dollar bill.
48
If you fold anything the right way, you can get the right purchase on it.
49
Takes a while though.
50
You rip up your hand a bit as well.
51
That was my only other secret skill.
52
First kiss, it was on the roof of a building in like round the corner from my house in London.
53
Twelve, I think?
54
Eleven or twelve, it was quite old, wasn't it?
55
I guess it was a girlfriend.
56
Yeah, we used to walk home from school together.
57
And I remember being like, what does my mouth taste like?
58
It's like really, really romantic.
59
Does it taste like Marmite?
60
I think we dated for a bit until it was revealed to me that she was just like, oh no, I've started dating someone else.
61
I'm like, wait, what?

この動画で英語を練習する理由

ロバート・パティンソンの自然な会話は、英語シャドーイングやshadow speechの練習に最適です。日常的なトークから仕事の話、奇抜なエピソードまで、多様なシチュエーションで使われる表現が満載。流れるような発音とくだけた口調が特徴で、リアルな英語のリズムを身につけるのに役立ちます。また、IELTSスピーキング対策にも最適で、「自身の経験を話す」「意外な特技を説明する」など、実践的なトピックの表現が学べます。

文脈の中で学ぶ文法と表現

  • 過去の経験を表す「used to」：「back in the day they used to say...」のように、過去に頻繁に行われた行動や習慣を表します。日常会話でよく使われるので、シャドーイングで発音とリズムを覚えましょう。
  • 「nothing-to-lose state」のような複合名詞：「何も失うものがない状態」をひと言で表す便利な表現です。「I was in a nothing-to-lose mood」など、自分の心境を簡潔に伝える時に使えます。
  • 「let's just do something」の省略表現：「let's do something」を「let's just do something」とすることで、「とりあえずやってみよう」という軽いニュアンスが出ます。くだけた会話でよく使われるので、自然な口調を練習しましょう。

発音の難しいポイントと対策

英語の発音を良くするために、注意が必要な箇所をピックアップします。

  • 「cesarean」（帝王切開）：「sɪˈzeriən」と発音します。「c」の発音が「s」になる点と、「ea」の部分が「e」になる点に注意しましょう。シャドーイングで繰り返し練習して、滑らかに発音できるようにします。
  • 「windscreen wipers」（ワイパー）：「ˈwɪndskriːn ˈwaɪpəz」と発音し、「windscreen」の「d」がほとんど聞こえないくらいに軽くなります。連続して発音する時のリズムを覚えましょう。
  • 「35mm cameras」（35ミリカメラ）：「ˌθɜːti ˈfaɪv ˈmɪləmiːtər ˈkæmərəz」ですが、実際の会話では「35mm cameras」と短く発音されます。「mm」の発音を「ミリ」ではなく「エムエム」とするのがポイントです。

シャドーイングのコツ

shadow speechの練習では、まず動画をゆっくり聴き、発音とリズムを覚えます。次に、1文ずつ真似して発音し、自分の声と原音を比較します。「I can open a beer bottle with pretty much any object」のような長い文は、途中で息を継ぐ場所を覚えるのが重要です。繰り返し練習することで、自然な英語の流れが身につきます。

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。
