Little Hoth!
2
The next day, Hathi lifted his trunk.
3
Let's go!
4
He called, and then he and his three sons set out.
5
The elephants marched in different directions.
6
They reached the villagers' fields and marched around for days.
7
They stomped on grass, crops,
8
tools, and anything else they found.
9
At first, the other jungle creatures watched the elephants march from a distance.
10
Then, birds flew over the jungle, spreading the news.
11
Food!
12
Food for everyone!
13
Soon, herds of deer, pigs,
14
and porcupines joined the elephants.
15
They all began eating what was left of the crops.
16
Baloo came and found some tasty roots.
17
Delicious!
18
Other animals knocked down barley and drank from the tank of water.
19
Birds flew down for seeds and grain.
20
Monkeys scattered as the python caw slithered into the valley.
21
He was hungry too.
22
On and on, round and round the fields, the elephants marched.
23
Soon, the people in the village grew desperate from hunger.
24
There are no more crops, a villager said.
25
We must look for food in the jungle.
26
A group of people entered the jungle to look for nuts.
27
But shadows with glaring eyes spooked them, and they ran out.
28
By the time the rainy season came,
29
the four elephants had finished their work in the fields.
30
They began marching toward the villagers' hunts.
31
What are they doing now?
32
Bagheera asked Mowgli.
33
They're going to rip off the hut's roofs, Mowgli said.
34
Most of the villagers had already left to find new homes.
35
Now, it was time for the rest to go.
36
A month later, Mowgli and Bagheera returned to the village.
37
The place was covered with mounds of grass and thick weeds.
38
Six months later, the two of them came back again.
39
By now, the jungle had roared back.
40
It's just as I imagined, Bagheera, Mowgli whispered.
41
The wild jungle had swallowed up every trace of the people's village.
42
After the elephant's march, Mowgli returned to the wolf's cave.
43
He had found a way to punish the villagers for their cruelty.
44
According to the law of the jungle, this punishment settled things.
45
Yet Mowgli was restless and unhappy.
46
He didn't feel hungry, and he rarely slept.
47
What's wrong with me? he wondered.
48
One hot day, Mowgli was splashing in the river, suddenly eager to escape.
49
He took off through the jungle,
50
leaping from tree to tree.
51
He ran all afternoon, singing, swimming and hunting.
52
At last, he found himself in a strange part of the jungle.
53
Near a marsh at the outskirts of a village,
54
he heard several dogs barking.
55
A man pack, Mowgli thought.
56
Curious, he crept toward the sound of the barking dogs.
57
They were pacing around in front of a hut.
58
Mowgli growled like a wolf,
59
and they instantly stopped barking.
60
Then, a woman came to the door.
61
She wore copper bracelets, and her hair was slightly gray.
62
Who's there? she called.
63
Her voice shook with fear.
64
Is it another jackal? she asked the dogs.
65
As he gazed at her,
66
Mowgli felt himself begin to shake too.
67
The woman looked a bit older,
68
but he knew her voice.
69
In fact, he knew it well.
70
Meswa? he called.
71
He stepped out of the tall grass that had been hiding him.
72
The woman gasped and put a hand on her heart.
73
Nathil?
74
Is that you?
75
My son?
76
That night, Mowgli stayed with Meswa in her hut.
77
As they ate dinner, she told him that her husband had died.
78
But you saved our lives that night, Mowgli.
79
Her eyes filled with grateful tears.
80
And we have had a good life here.
81
There's a village nearby, and I am content.
82
In the morning, Mowgli got ready to go.
83
Please visit again, Meswa whispered, hugging him.
84
I love you.
85
Mowgli's throat felt tight.
86
I love you too, Meswa.
87
And I will come back soon.
88
I promise.
89
As he headed toward the marsh,
90
a large beast jumped out of the tall grass.
91
Bagheera!
92
Mowgli said in surprise.
93
What are you doing here?
94
I followed you.
95
Bagheera replied.
96
Again?
97
Mowgli laughed and shook his head.
98
You're always following me.
99
So are Mother Wolf and Grey Brother.
100
Bagheera looked nervous.
101
Are you.. are you coming back to the jungle?
102
He asked.
103
I...
104
I thought you might stay here with the woman.
105
Mowgli shook his head.
106
I don't think I belong with people, Bagheera.
107
The man pack threw me out, remember?
108
Just like the wolf pack.
109
Bagheera studied Mowgli for a second.
110
Then he lifted his chin.
111
Feel under my jaw.
112
Mowgli obediently put his fingers under Bagheera's silky chin.
113
The panther's fur covered thick muscles.
114
Then, Mowgli touched a bear patch.
115
What's this? he asked.
116
It is the mark of a collar, Bagheera said.
117
No one in the jungle knows this.
118
I was also born among people, Mowgli.
119
I lived in a cage at the King's Palace.
120
What?
121
Mowgli blinked in surprise.
122
Bagheera had lived with humans too?
123
That's why I spoke for you at the council when you were a little cub,
124
Bagheera went on.
125
My mother died in the cages at the palace.
126
After that, I had no family there and...
127
Mowgli couldn't imagine the beautiful,
128
strong panther trapped in a cage.
129
The cage must have felt like prison.
130
It was a prison, Bagheera said.
131
I lived there without ever seeing the jungle.
132
Then one night, I mysteriously found my strength.
133
I told myself I was a panther,
134
not a plaything for people.
135
And I broke the silly lock with one blow of my paw.
136
Mowgli grinned.
137
That was something he could picture Bagheera doing.
138
Now you know my secret, little brother.
139
I returned to the jungle where I belonged. As for you...
140
Bagheera paused.
141
You are a human.
142
So one day you too will return to where you belong.
143
Nope.
144
Sorry, Bagheera, but you're wrong.
145
Mowgli shook his head firmly.
146
I won't ever live with people again.
147
I'll visit Meswa, but that's about it.
148
He patted the panther.
149
And when I'm older and on my own,
150
I'll come back to visit you and Baloo.
151
Just then, a girl in a flowing white dress appeared on the path.
152
Mowgli and Bagheera ducked behind some bushes.
153
As the girl passed, Mowgli moved the bushes with his hand.
154
He watched the girl walk toward the marsh.
155
The boy is both man and wolf.
156
Bagheera thought, watching him tenderly.
157
But one day, he will become more man than wolf.
158
The girl disappeared, and Bagheera nudged Mowgli with his nose.
159
Ready to go home, little brother?
160
Yes!
161
Mowgli leaped onto the panther's back.
162
Then together, they went back into the jungle.

このレッスンについて
このレッスンでは、ジャングルブックの最終章からのトランスクリプトを通じて、英語のスピードと発音を練習します。特に、「象の行進」というテーマに基づいて、物語を読みながら英語のスピーキング技術を向上させます。この練習は、特に話す際のリズムとトーンを意識することを目的としています。「shadowspeak」という概念を用いて、より自然な会話を目指しましょう。
重要な語彙とフレーズ
- 象（elephant） - 大きな哺乳類で、物語の中心的なキャラクター。
- 村（village） - 人々が住む場所。
- ジャングル（jungle） - 豊かな自然環境。
- 作物（crops） - 農業で育てる植物。
- 観察する（watch） - 他のものを注意深く見ること。
- 不安（restless） - 落ち着かない状態。
- 斑点（spotted） - 特徴的な模様を持つこと。
- 欲望（desire） - 何かを強く望む気持ち。
練習のコツ
このビデオの速度とトーンで英語を練習する際は、英語シャドーイングが効果的です。最初にビデオを何度も視聴し、トーンやリズムに慣れましょう。その後、以下のポイントに注意しながらシャドーイングに取り組んでください：
- 短いフレーズごとに区切り、発音を模倣する。
- 特に感情を込めて話している部分では、抑揚を意識する。
- 一時停止しながら自分の声を録音し、発音やリズムを確認する。
- 時には声を少し大きくすることで、発音を明瞭にする練習をする。
- ビデオの登場人物の感情や状況を想像し、話す内容に自分の感情を加える。
これらの練習を通じて、英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、会話能力も向上させましょう。初めは難しく感じるかもしれませんが、続けることで自然に話せるようになります。
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。
