I never lived with my mother.

My mother's first husband was named Baker.

Her second husband was Mortensen, but she was long since divorced when I was born.

She had, you know, mental disturbances, and she was taken away.

I called every woman I would see, I'd say, oh, there's a mama.

And if I see a man, I'd say, there's a daddy.

One morning I was having a bath, actually, and I referred to the woman as Mama,

and she said, I'm not your mother.

Don't call me mother anymore.

Call me aunt so-and-so.

The one who comes here with the red hair, she's your mother.

So to learn that she was my mother was quite a shock.

It was the red hair.

I said, but he's my daddy.

She said, no, you call him uncle.

Although they weren't my aunt and uncle.

I was only boarding there.

They adopted the boy that they had, that they were born in.

You see, some places I lived, I was taken there at the end of the school term, and they were planning to keep me.

But then after the summer they'd had enough.

So then I was taken to another place.

So that's one of so many.

See, I don't think there's 12, but there were quite a few.

Ten counting the orphans home.

I know I went to six different grammar schools.

You know, that's before you're in the seventh grade.

There was one other family I stayed with for a short time.

Because a woman used to have to deliver things.

I don't know her husband made things

and she was to deliver them to these plates and I used to get so car sick driving

I didn't like the world around me too much because it was kind of grim

but I loved playing I loved playing with the children in the neighborhood you could imagine anything

and pretend anything but I loved to play house and it was like,

you know, you can make your own boundaries, your own situation.

Other children like to play with me because I could think of things, you know, I'd say, now we're going to have murder, then a divorce, and then they say, how do you think of that?

I don't know.

Because then I heard, that's acting, I said, that's what I want to be.

You know, you could play.

They used to take me to movies here in Hollywood.

Every Saturday and Sunday I was taken there because they worked during the week.

They worked very hard and they didn't want to be bothered with a child around the house, I think.

You know, you can't blame them.

They were very tired.

So I was taken there in the morning and wait till the movie opened.

I tried to fit my foot.

My feet prints are there now, but I would try to, you know.

I never could get my feet in there.

My feet were always too big.

For 10 cents, I would go in,

sit in the first row and I watched all kinds of movies like Cleopatra with Claudio Colbert, that I remembered very well.

I'd sit there and I'd see it over and over and over and over again till late at night.

I was supposed to come out at dark but but of course I didn't know when it was dark.

That was when I was very small.

When I was seven years old, my favorite was Jean Harlow.

And the reason why she was my favorite, because she had white hair and I had white hair.

And I dreamed of having golden hair, but instead mine was white.

So when she had white hair, I felt close to her.

And Clark Gable, I'm sure he won't mind if I say it, I used to always think of him as my father.

I pretended that he was my father.

I never pretended anyone was my mother, I don't know why, but I always pretended he was my father.

I would go in my room and I would act out every part.

Only I would act out before that happened or after, and I would act out all the parts.

What he said and what she said and what he felt and she felt can usually be sad.

And then suddenly I was taken to the orphan's home.

I was only nine or ten.

And I put my feet down on the sidewalk and they had to drag me in.

I said, I'm not an orphan.

And then later some people said, well, it's better you forget about your mother.

I said, but where is my mother? and they said, she's dead.

I used to sit up in the window and cry

because I'd look over and I'd see RKO

and I knew my mother had work there and she'd been a cutter there and all the kids were asleep.

Grace used to come to the orphanage and take me out sometime.

Well, she was my legal guardian, and she once worked as a film editor, and she had been my mother's best friend.

I could put on her lipstick.

I was only nine or ten.

And she would take me someplace to have my hair curled, which was unheard of because I had straight hair.

Things like that meant a great deal to me.

I cleaned that dormitory where I slept.

Oh, everything had to be perfect, you know.

You swept and then you dusted everything.

We had a bed and a chair.

We had a locker downstairs.

Also the kitchen, you could earn money there.

I washed 100 plates, 100 cups, spoons, and forks, and you made five cents a month.

And they took one penny for Sunday school.

So you had one penny left.

So you hope you can buy your friend or friends some little thing at Christmas.

Well, I complained bitterly to Grace, who was my guardian.

There were these people who took me for a while.

Grace was financially unable to care for me,

but I'm very grateful that they at least assumed the responsibility because I could have just been kept there until I'm 18.

Thank you.

この動画で身につける英語スピーキングのスキル

マリリン・モンローの幼少期を語るこの動画は、英語スピーキング練習に最適です。特に、個人的な体験を自然に語る表現力や、感情を込めて話すリズム、長い文章を途切れないで続ける能力を養います。IELTS スピーキング対策でも重要な「自己紹介や過去の出来事を詳しく説明する」スキルにも直結します。

聞き取りに注意すべき発音のポイント

このダイアログには、ネイティブスピーカーの典型的な連結発音や弱め方がたくさんあります。例えば、「I don't know her husband made things」では「don't know」が「don' know」となり、「her husband」は「er husband」と弱まります。また、「you know」が頻繁に使われていますが、これは会話をスムーズにつなぐフィラーとして機能しており、自然な会話の流れを作るコツでもあります。

ネイティブのように話すコツ：リズムとストレス

マリリン・モンローの話し方の特徴は、感情に合わせたリズムの変化と重要な単語にストレスを置く点です。例えば、「it was quite a shock」では「shock」に強調が置かれ、驚きの感情が伝わります。shadow speak（シャドーイング）の練習に最適で、YouTubeで英語学習をする際は、動画を繰り返し聴き、同じリズムとストレスで真似ることで、自然な発音と流暢さが身につきます。特に「I loved playing with the children in the neighborhood」のような長い文は、息継ぎのタイミングを覚えることで、途切れない話し方ができるようになります。

この動画の文法

話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

文型	動画での表現
「used to」 used to + 動詞 — 今はもう違う過去の習慣や状態	used to have · used to get · used to take
受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てる	was named · was born · was taken
関係詞節 who / which + 節 — 人や物について情報を加える	one who comes · curled, which was · people who took

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。
