This woman has studied animals for 60 years.
2
And she can speak like them.
3
Hello, Nurse Daily.
4
I'm Jane Goodall.
5
I'm 88 years old, and I have always loved animals.
6
She has studied animals longer than any person in the world.
7
And today, I'm going to tell you her incredible story.
8
60 years ago, Dr.
9
Jane did something crazy.
10
She spent a month traveling by boat from England to Africa.
11
She lived in a tent in the jungle all by herself, just so she could study these.
12
Chimpanzees are our closest relatives, and so finding out about them helps us understand human evolution.
13
She discovered that humans and chimpanzees are very similar.
14
They cry, fight, hug, and kiss just like humans.
15
They use tools and they even have their own language.
16
Dr.
17
Jane became so close to the chimpanzees that they accepted her as family.
18
I was following him.
19
He was allowing me to follow him.
20
So I sat down near him and the ground between us was a ripe red palm nut which chimpanzees love.
21
So I picked it up and held it out towards him.
22
He turned his face away.
23
I moved my hand closer.
24
He turned.
25
He looked directly into my eyes.
26
He reached out, didn't want the nut, dropped it, very gently squeezed my fingers, which is how chimpanzees reassure each other.
27
So in that moment, we understood each other perfectly.
28
Nearly 40 years after she first went to the forest, science finally discovered that human DNA and chimpanzee DNA were nearly identical.
29
Yes, 99% of our DNA is the same as chimpanzees.
30
Dr.
31
Jane won tons of awards for her discoveries, until one day she saw a big problem.
32
The chimpanzees were dying.
33
The chimpanzee population went from 1 million to just 300,000.
34
The chimps' forest homes were being destroyed.
35
Chimpanzees were being stolen and sold as pets.
36
And they were being locked up in cages for medical testing.
37
This broke her heart, so she left the forest to become an activist.
38
She started two foundations that are now saving chimpanzees, protecting forests, and teaching youth about how to protect animals, people, and the environment.
39
In seven African countries, chimps are living who would not have been there if we hadn't arrived.
40
And in order for this to be successful in the long run, we have to work with the young people.
41
Dr.
42
Jane is incredible.
43
She spent 60 years of her life living with animals.
44
And what she learned from a tent in the jungle has changed the science community forever.
45
And this is her message to the world.
46
Every individual matters, has a role to play, and that every individual makes an impact every day.
47
So if we choose wisely, then we're really working together to make a better world for the future.
48
There's not much difference between humans and animals.
49
So if we care so much about humankind, why not care about animals too?

なぜこのビデオで話す練習をするべきか?

このビデオは、世界で最も有名な動物学者の一人、ジェーン・グドール博士が登場します。彼女の物語は、単なる動物に関する知識を超え、人間と動物とのつながりを深く理解する手助けとなります。英語シャドーイングの練習を通じて、彼女の語り口や表現方法を学ぶことで、体験を共有しやすくなります。彼女の感情や情熱を感じながら、日本語から英語へのスムーズな移行を体験しましょう。自分の意見や考えを英語で表現するスキルを向上させるために、彼女の発話を反復して聞くことが非常に効果的です。

文法と表現の文脈

このビデオには、英語学習に役立ついくつかの表現が含まれています。

  • 「So I picked it up and held it out towards him.」:ここでは、「picked it up」と「held it out」といった動詞の使い方に注目です。このように、動作の連続性を表現することで、話の流れが自然になります。
  • 「He reached out, didn’t want the nut, dropped it.」:否定文の使用が会話にスムーズさを加えます。否定形を正しく使うことで、聞き手に明確な意図を伝えられます。
  • 「Every individual matters, has a role to play.」:ここでの「has a role to play」という表現は、各個人の重要性を強調する方法として非常に効果的です。

よくある発音の罠

ビデオの中で注意が必要な発音や言い回しがあります。

  • 「chimpanzees」:この単語は日本語では「チンパンジー」と呼ばれますが、英語では「チンパンジーズ」と「ズ」の音が強調されるため、注意が必要です。
  • 「individual」:この単語は発音が難しいため、特に「インディビデュアル」と流れるように発音する練習が必要です。
  • 「impact」:この単語は強いアクセントが必要で、正しく発音することで意味がより伝わります。

これらの表現や発音を練習することで、英語スピーキング練習のレベルを高め、英語の発音を良くするための自信を持つことができます。ビデオの内容を繰り返し聞き見ながら、自分の声で発話することに挑戦してみてください。

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。
