1
Hi.
2
I think you're in the wrong neighborhood.
3
Are you looking for Coachella?
4
This is Sophia.
5
She volunteers down at the hospital.
6
Come on in.
7
What have you brought into our home?
8
What's wrong with Sophia?
9
You made a rule in this house that we would never hire hot babysitters.
10
It's fine now.
11
What is that supposed to mean?
12
You know, we're getting older.
13
Don't include me in that.
14
The dad and the hot babysitter?
15
That's the premise of, like, every good movie.
16
It's a whole aisle at the video store.
17
If you think there's still video stores, I got nothing to worry about.
18
Kate, why did you cut up your new shirt?
19
Oh, Sophia said to beat Tiffany at her own game by making it cooler than anything she wears.
20
But I bought one too.
21
We were twinsies.
22
Oh, and you don't have to make dinner for me and Sophia.
23
She's bringing sushi.
24
I'm always trying to get you to eat sushi.
25
You said you hate it.
26
Sophia said I'd like it.
27
I said you'd like it, but then Sophia said it.
28
I don't see why you're so bent out of shape.
29
I thought the whole reason you hired Sophia was so that Katie would like her. Was.
30
But now you seem mad.
31
Oh, I'm mad.
32
Take it easy.
33
You know what?
34
Sophia needs to be told that there are boundaries.
35
And I would like for you to do that.
36
Right, I'll talk to her, but I think you're overreacting.
37
We need to have a talk about boundaries.
38
The wife's a little upset.
39
Well, then I guess I'll just have to try to behave myself around you. Who?
40
Me?
41
Me?
42
You know what I mean.
43
I knew it!
44
We're just ridiculous.
45
That's me, ridiculous.
46
See you tomorrow.
47
Bye.
48
When she was leaving, she said, see you tomorrow, and her eyebrows are going all over her face like this.
49
Adam, I believe that you believe something happened.
50
Fine.
51
I'm going to prove it to you.
52
Oh, hey, Sophia.
53
Emmy left her doll on the floor.
54
My roommate just texted me and said that she can't pick me up.
55
Is there any way I could catch a ride home?
56
Adam can take you.
57
Good night.
58
What are you doing to me?
59
I was dying when you were showing off your arms.
60
What?
61
You talked to me about boundaries and your wife was right there.
62
But she won't be on the ride home.
63
I'll be waiting in the car.
64
Uh-oh.
65
Sophia is going to jump me in the car.
66
You have to drive her home.
67
What?
68
You're having a midlife crisis.
69
Last couple days, I've been feeling a little jealous.
70
Uh-oh.
71
And I know you had a conversation with my husband about boundaries.
72
He told you about that?
73
I just wanted to tell you, I'm cool with it.
74
If it works for the two of you, it works for me.
75
You're very open-minded.
76
I know.
77
It would be great if sometime all three of us could be together while you're doing your thing.
78
We're gonna have some fun, Sophia.
79
Yeah, most wives aren't this open to sharing their husbands.
80
What now?

この動画で話す練習をする理由

日常の会話は自然な流れが重要ですが、それを学ぶのに最適なのがこの動画です!家族間の軽いトラブルやジョークが交わされるシーンは、英語シャドーイングの理想的な素材です。リアルな口調やイントネーションを真似ることで、shadowspeakの技術が上達し、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立ちます。短い会話なので繰り返し練習しやすく、すぐに成果が実感できるのもポイントです。

文脈の中の文法と表現

  • "What is that supposed to mean?":相手の発言の意味を問う際の自然な表現で、"どういう意味ですか?"よりも強い疑問を含みます。会話の中で相手の意図をはっきりさせたい時に使えます。
  • "I think you're overreacting.":"君は過剰反応しているよ"という意味で、軽い批判を込めつつも穏やかな口調で使われます。意見の相違をスムーズに伝える表現です。
  • "We need to have a talk about boundaries.":"境界線について話す必要がある"というフレーズは、人間関係でルールを確認する時に不可欠です。shadow speakで練習すると、自然な発音とともに使い方も覚えられます。

発音の難しいポイント

この動画の会話にはいくつか発音のトラップがあります。例えば、"babysitters"は"ベイビーシッターズ"と発音しがちですが、実際は"ベイビーシターズ"と短く発音します。また、"sushi"は日本語と似ていますが、英語では"スーシー"ではなく"スシ"と発音するのが一般的です。動画で英語学習する際は、これらの微妙な違いを注意深く聞き取り、真似てみてください。イントネーションも重要で、"I got nothing to worry about"の最後は下がるイントネーションで、自信を示します。

繰り返しシャドーイングを行うことで、これらのポイントが自然に身につき、会話がより流暢になります。さあ、今日からこの動画で練習を始めましょう!

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。
