They were quacking and walking around Mother Duck.

However, the largest egg of them all was still trying to hatch, and Mother Duck began to worry.

She thought that there might be something wrong.
10
she decided to wait a little while longer.
11
And at last, the seventh and the largest egg hatched.
12
With great confusion, the poor ducklings began to look around.
13
Little did he know his mother and siblings were a bit more confused than he was.
14
Because this duck, in particular, did not look like his siblings.
15
He was built much more broader and had grey and white feathers.
16
The other ducklings began to laugh at him.
17
What an ugly duckling you are.
18
You look nothing like us.
19
I don't get it.
20
How come you look nothing like your siblings?
21
We are ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly.
22
Some time later, the ducklings all grew older.
23
But the ugly duckling was much bigger than the others, even the colour of his feathers.
24
You grew up so fast.
25
How did you turn out to be so different?
26
Time was passing by and the ugly duckling was growing up to be a different and sad duck.
27
None of his siblings wanted to play with him.
28
We won't play with you because you're ugly.
29
All the other animals on the farm were making fun of him.
30
Ugly duckling, ugly duckling.
31
Na na na na na, ugly duckling, ugly duckling.
32
Mother duck, on the other hand, was doing her best in protecting him.
33
My poor duckling, why are you so different than the others?
34
As the days passed, the poor ugly duckling was feeling horrible.
35
All night long he would silently cry and think to himself that no one would ever want him.
36
Why am I so ugly?
37
Why couldn't I tell her to be like my siblings?
38
One day, some hunters approached the lake near where they lived.
39
The hunters began to hunt the ducks they had seen.
40
Whilst Mother Duck was looking for food for the ducklings, she was caught by the hunters.
41
The poor duckling, not knowing what had been happening, he waited till morning for his mother to return.
42
Poor duckling didn't know what to do.
43
First he went next to the dog and the dog told him to go.
44
Go away, no one should see me talking to an ugly duck like you.
45
A while later he went next to the chicken, but the chicken also made fun of him.
46
Even I'm better looking than you.
47
Ugly Duckling was very sad.
48
No one wants me here.
49
If my mother isn't coming back, there's absolutely no reason for me to stay on this pub.
50
That morning, the ugly duckling left the farm.
51
He swam to the other side of the lake.
52
He asked the same question to all the animals he bumped into along the way.
53
Do you know any ducks that look like me?
54
Do you know any ducks that look like me?
55
Do you know any ducks that look like me?
56
He received the same answer from all of them.
57
They had never seen such ugly duck before.
58
Poor duckling began his journey and reached another lake once he was there.
59
He asked the same question to the geese.
60
You mustn't stay here like this.
61
There are hunters around.
62
Quickly get away from here.
63
Go on, now go.
64
The ugly duckling began to move along.
65
Soon after another lake appeared, this time he was all alone.
66
There was no one to be seen.
67
Well then, if nobody wants me, I will hide here forever.
68
Even though he was all alone, he was very happy.
69
One day, he saw a horde of white long-necked birds migrating to the south.
70
He looked at them with admiration.
71
How beautiful they are.
72
I wish I could be like them.
73
Winter had come and snow had begun to fall.
74
The ugly duckling fell in love with the sight of his first ever snow.
75
Playing around, he was covered in white snow.
76
Due to the heavy snow, the ugly duckling was finding it hard to find food.
77
So off he went walking around trying to find food.
78
He was cold and tired.
79
Meanwhile, he came across a farmer.
80
The farmer felt sorry for him and gave his jacket.
81
You poor thing, how cold you are.
82
I will take you home and look after you until you grow.
83
The farmer did as he said and took good care of him.
84
When spring had arrived, the ugly duckling had grown.
85
So that he would have free space to move around, the farmer decided to leave him in a life.
86
All alone once again.
87
After some time had passed, the ugly duckling looked at his reflection in the water.
88
But he was amazed at what he saw.
89
At first, he couldn't recognise himself.
90
He thought there was someone else behind him.
91
So he flipped his wings and noticed that his reflection was doing the same thing.
92
He stretched out his neck and his reflection continued to copy his movements.
93
Right then he knew that this amazing bird was no one other than himself.
94
Oh, how much I've changed!
95
I look like the birds in the sky!
96
I must return back home and show myself at once!
97
And off he went.
98
While he was swimming in the lake, he came across a wedge of swans.
99
Because he was one of them now, they took him along.
100
A good duckling was traveling in joy with the swans.
101
A boy at the lake shore yelled out to his friends when he saw the swans.
102
Hey look at the young one, all the way back must be the most beautiful swan I've seen.
103
Yes, from the beginning, he indeed was a swan.
104
He was just an unfortunate egg which got mixed up in between the ducks.
105
But now he was with his real family and ahead of him was a happy lion.

- 「look like」 - 誰かの見た目を表現する際によく使われます。「あなたは私たちのように見えません」という文が具体的な例です。
- 「I don't get it」 - 理解できないことを表現するカジュアルな表現で、ネイティブスピーカーにとって非常に自然な言い回しです。

一般的な発音の落とし穴
この動画の中には、英語の発音を良くするために注意すべきトリッキーな単語やアクセントの要素が含まれています。特に「ugly」という単語は、学習者によって誤って発音されることが多いです。この単語は、「アグリー」とは異なり、正しくは「アグリ」と短く発音されます。さらには、「duckling」や「mother duck」も練習が必要ですが、動画を参考にすることで自然な流れで言えるようになるでしょう。YouTubeで英語学習する際には、これらの発音に注意を払いながら、何度も繰り返して練習することが大切です。
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。
