45
And the hostess started crying and...
46
I'm not.
47

See, there's another problem.
54

They like to watch it grow up?
59

Would you want a full exchange?
61
Well, that's it.
62
Well, I'd like a straight man who didn't laugh.
63
No, I...
64
I don't want the full exchange.
65
What I'd like to get is a real cheap one I could stick in the washer for the kids' lives.
66
What did...
67
Did you know your wife was getting it for you, sir?
68
Well, I didn't-- well, looking back, of course, See, one morning she came in with this piece of paper, and she told me to put my head on it, you know.
69
She traced my head.
70
She'd never tell me what it was for.
71
Exactly.
72
What is your main complaint?
73
Well, the main complaint is it doesn't do what, you know, you say it's going to do.
74
Thank you.
75
Well, that particular model is guaranteed to stay on in a hurricane.
76
- Well, yeah, I know it stays on a hurricane, but see, uh, we're from Iowa, and, you know, we really don't get that many hurricanes.
77
See, mainly I wanted-- to stay on when I go down for the cheese day.
78
Well, of course, if you wish to exchange it, we'd have to have the price tag.
79
Thank you.

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。
