1
In a town where everyone's dying to couple up, sometimes there's nothing better than being out of a relationship.
2
You have time to do your laundry, freedom to play your favorite bad music really loudly.
3
But the best part of being out of a relationship, plenty of time to catch up with your friends.
4
I feel sorry for Big, I really do, because if you think about it, I was the best thing that ever happened to him.
5
Actually, no, I pity him, because I get to walk away and be me, and he has to walk away and stay him, you know?
6
And who wants to be him when you can be me?
7
I mean, I'm smart, I am funny.
8
I was this thing, you know?
9
I was it.
10
I mean, I was this magic moment.
11
I was the abracadabra.
12
I was totally the poof in the relationship.
13
I mean, I've got more poof in one finger than he could ever have.
14
I mean, jeez, sometimes I poof just hailing a cab.
15
So I guess it's better to know now, so that I can go poof someone else.
16
Someone who deserves me and not some screwed -up, insecure guy who can't deal with a woman who's got her act together.
17
Now, I'm gonna end up deliriously happy, and Big is gonna die old and alone, and I pity him.
18
Really, I pity him.
19
What?
20
All right, who's gonna tell her?
21
What?
22
Honey, you're obsessed with talking about Big, and frankly, we can't take it anymore.
23
It's out of our league.
24
What is this an intervention?
25
Yes stop her before she obsesses again Isn't part of the whole breaking up process
26
that you get free reign to whine to your friends of course you do
27
But maybe you should think about whining to a shrink Why should I pay someone
28
when we can talk for free and then go get a drink or whatever?
29
I don't need professional help.
30
I've got you guys Yeah, for about another ten minutes and then we're cutting you off cold turkey Hey, I don't need therapy.
31
I need new friends Look, we're as fucked up as you are.
32
It's like the blind leading the blind.
33
Sometimes it helps to talk to somebody who's objective.
34
Okay.
35
I understand why you see a shrink, you know, because you're always in your head, but I'm fine.
36
I am functioning.
37
Besides, I don't really, to be honest, I just don't buy the whole shrink thing.
38
Neither do I.
39
I mean, my parents believe that any head problem could be solved with physical exercise.
40
That's why all of us are really good tennis players.
41
It's a slippery slope.
42
You know, first you're going once a week, then it's three times a week, and then the next thing you know, you're starting your sentences with, well, my shrink says...
43
My shrink says that's a very common fear.
44
Therapy, it's.. it's just so self -indulgent.
45
Ancient man didn't need shrinks to survive.
46
Ancient man only lived till 30.
47
Were my friends right?
48
Had I crossed the line from pleasantly neurotic into annoyingly troubled?
49
I decided to seek my own professional help.
50
How can you not have a shrink?
51
This is Manhattan.
52
Even the shrinks have shrinks.
53
The fact was Stanford was right.
54
A therapist was as ubiquitous in Manhattan as pirated cable.
55
I have three.
56
You do not.
57
I do.
58
One for when I want to be coddled, one for when I want tough love, and one for when I just want to look at a really beautiful man.

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。
