Reviewer Gopalco Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,
2
in a 1968 speech where he reflects upon the Civil Rights Movement,
3
states, in the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies,
4
but the silence of our friends.
5
As a teacher, I've internalized this message.
6
Every day all around us,
7
we see the consequences of silence manifest themselves in the form of discrimination,
8
violence, genocide, and war.
9
In the classroom, I challenge my students to explore the silences in their own lives through poetry.
10
We work together to fill those spaces,
11
to recognize them, to name them,
12
to understand that they don't have to be sources of shame.
13
In an effort to create a culture within my classroom where students feel safe sharing the intimacies of their own silences,
14
I have four core principles posted on the board that sits in the front of my class,
15
which every student signs at the beginning of the year.
16
Read critically, write consciously, speak clearly, tell your truth.
17
I find myself thinking a lot about that last point, tell your truth.
18
And I realized that if I was going to ask my students to speak up,
19
I was going to have to tell my truth
20
and be honest with them about the times where I failed to do so.
21
So I tell them that growing up,
22
as a kid in a Catholic family in New Orleans,
23
during Lent, I was always taught that the most meaningful thing one could do was to give something up,
24
sacrifice something you typically indulge in to prove to God you understand his sanctity.
25
I've given up soda, McDonald's,
26
French fries, French kisses, and everything in between.
27
But one year, I gave up speaking,
28
figured the most valuable thing I could sacrifice was my own voice,
29
my own voice, but it was like I hadn't realized that I had given that up a long time ago.
30
I had spent
31
so much of my life telling people the things they wanted to hear instead of the things they needed to,
32
told myself I wasn't meant to be anyone's conscience because I still had to figure out being my own,
33
so sometimes I just wouldn't say anything.
34
Appeasing ignorance with my silence,
35
unaware that validation doesn't need words to endorse its existence.
36
When Christian was beat up for being gay,
37
I put my hands in my pocket and walked with my head down as if I didn't even notice.
38
Couldn't use my locker for weeks
39
because the bolt on the lock reminded me of the one I had put on my lips.
40
When the homeless man on the corner looked at me with eyes up,
41
merely searching for an affirmation that he was worth seeing,
42
I was more concerned with touching the screen of my apple than actually feeding him one.
43
When the woman at the fundraising gala said,
44
I'm so proud of you.
45
It must be so hard teaching those poor, unintelligent kids.
46
I bit my lip because apparently we needed her money more than my students needed their dignity.
47
We spend so much time listening to the things people are saying,
48
that we rarely pay attention to the things they don't.
49
Silence is the residue of fear.
50
It is feeling your flaws, gut-wrench guillotine your tongue.
51
It is the air retreating from your chest because it doesn't feel safe in your lungs.
52
Silence is Rwandan genocide.
53
Silence is Katrina.
54
It is what you hear when there aren't enough body bags left.
55
It is the sound after the noose is already tied.
56
It is charring.
57
It is chains.
58
It is privilege.
59
It is pain.
60
There is no time to pick your battles when your battles have already picked you.
61
I will not let silence wrap itself around my indecision.
62
I will tell Christian that he is a lion,
63
a sanctuary of bravery and brilliance.
64
I will ask that homeless man what his name is and how his day was,
65
Sometimes all people want to be is human.
66
I will tell that woman that my students can talk about transcendentalism like their last name was Thoreau,
67
and just because you watched one episode of The Wire doesn't mean you know anything about my kids.
68
So this year, instead of giving something up,
69
I will live every day as if it were a microphone tucked under my tongue,
70
a stage on the underside of my inhibition.
71
Because who has to have a soapbox when all you've ever needed is your voice.
72
Thank you.

文脈と背景
このTEDトークでは、クリント・スミスが沈黙の危険性について語ります。彼の言葉は、マーティン・ルーサー・キング・ジュニアの名言を引用し、無関心や沈黙が引き起こす社会的な問題についての重要性を強調します。クリントは教室で彼の生徒たちに、詩を通して自らの沈黙を探求するように促し、恐れのない環境を作り出すための4つの核心原則を提示します。これにより、生徒たちは自分自身の真実を語ることの大切さを理解します。
日常会話のためのトップ5フレーズ
- 「あなたの声は大切です。」 - 自分の意見や気持ちを表現する重要性を伝えます。
- 「沈黙は恐れの残滓です。」 - 沈黙が何を意味するのかを理解するための強力なフレーズです。
- 「私はあなたのことを知りたい。」 - 他者とのコミュニケーションを深める効果的な表現です。
- 「あなたの真実を語ってください。」 - 相手に自分の意見を伝えるよう促すフレーズです。
- 「声を上げることが大切です。」 - 発言することの重要性を強調します。
ステップバイステップのシャドーイングガイド
この動画の内容は非常に感情的で深いメッセージを持っていますが、英語スピーキング練習を通して学ぶことで、発音を改善し、自信を持って話すことができます。以下の手順に従いながら、英語シャドーイングに取り組んでみましょう。
- 最初に、YouTubeで英語学習としてこのTEDトークを視聴します。内容を理解するために、一度聞き流してみましょう。
- 次に、トランスクリプトを読みながら再度視聴します。特に、上記のトップ5フレーズに注目してみてください。
- 各フレーズごとに、英語の発音を良くするために、ゆっくりとリピートします。自分の声を録音して、後で確認することも効果的です。
- フレーズを暗記したら、実際の会話で使ってみましょう。友人や家族と練習することで、さらに自信をつけることができます。
- 最後に、定期的にこの方法で練習し、shadowspeakの技術を磨くことで、自分の声をより力強く表現できるようになります。
このプロセスを繰り返すことで、沈黙を超えて自分自身の声を見つけ、発信する力を手に入れましょう。
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。
