レッスンを作成中...
1
On September the 11th, enemies of freedom committed an act of war against our country.
2
Americans have known wars, but for the past 136 years,
3
they have been wars on foreign soil except for one Sunday in 1941 one.
4
Americans have known the casualties of war, but not at the center of a great city on a peaceful morning.
5
Americans have known surprise attacks, but never before on thousands of civilians.
6
All of this was brought upon us in a single day, and night fell on a different world,
7
a world where freedom itself is under attack.
8
Americans have many questions tonight.
9
Americans are asking, who attacked our country?
10
The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations known as al -Qaeda.
11
They are some of the murderers indicted for bombing American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya and responsible for bombing the USS Cole.
12
Al -Qaeda is to terror what the mafia is to crime.
13
But its goal is not making money.
14
Its goal is remaking the world and imposing its radical beliefs on people everywhere.
15
The terrorists practice a fringe form of Islamic extremism
16
that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics,
17
a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teaching of Islam.
18
The terrorist directive commands them to kill Christians and Jews,
19
to kill all Americans, and make no distinctions among military and civilians, including women and children.
20
This group and its leader, a person named Osama bin Laden, are linked to many other organizations in different countries,
21
including the Egyptian Islamic Jihad and the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan.
22
There are thousands of these terrorists in more than 60 countries.
23
They are recruited from their own nations and neighborhoods
24
and brought to camps in places like Afghanistan where they are trained in the tactics of terror.
25
They are sent back to their homes or sent to hide in countries around the world to plot evil and destruction.
26
The leadership of Al -Qaeda has great influence in Afghanistan and supports the Taliban regime in controlling most of that country.
27
In Afghanistan, we see al -Qaeda's vision for the world.
28
Afghanistan's people have been brutalized.
29
Many are starving, and many have fled.
30
Women are not allowed to attend school.
31
You can be jailed for owning a television.
32
Religion can be practiced only as their leaders dictate.
33
A man can be jailed in Afghanistan if his beard is not long enough.
34
The United States respects the people of Afghanistan.
35
After all, we are currently its largest source of humanitarian aid.
36
But we condemn the Taliban regime.
37
It is not only repressing its own people, it is threatening people everywhere by sponsoring and sheltering and supplying terrorists.
38
By aiding and abetting murder, the Taliban regime is committing murder.
39
And tonight, the United States of America makes the following demands on the Taliban.
40
Deliver to United States authorities all the leaders of al -Qaeda who hide in your land.
41
Release all foreign nationals, including American citizens you have unjustly imprisoned.
42
Protect foreign journalists, diplomats, and aid workers in your country.
43
Close immediately and permanently every terrorist training camp in Afghanistan
44
and hand over every terrorist and every person in their support structure to appropriate authorities.
45
Give the United States full access to terrorist training camps so we can make sure they are no longer operating.
46
These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion.
47
The Taliban must act, and act immediately.
48
They will hand over the terrorists, where they will share in their fate.
49
I also want to speak tonight directly to Muslims throughout the world.
50
We respect your faith.
51
It's practiced freely by many millions of Americans, and by millions more in countries that America counts as friends.
52
Its teachings are good and peaceful, and those who commit evil in the name of Allah blaspheme the name of Allah.
53
The terrorists are traitors to their own faith,
54
trying, in effect, to hijack Islam itself.
55
the enemy of america is not our many muslim friends
56
it is not our many arab friends our enemy is a radical network of terrorists and every government that supports them
57
Our war on terror begins with al -Qaeda, but it does not end there.
58
It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated.

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。
