1
To begin with, this case should never have come to trial.
2
The state has not produced one iota of medical evidence that the crime Tom Robinson is charged with ever took place.
3
It has relied instead upon the testimony of two witnesses whose evidence has not only been called into serious question on cross-examination,
4
but has been flatly contradicted by the defendant.
5
There is circumstantial evidence to indicate that Mayella Ewell was beaten,
6
savagely, by someone who led almost exclusively with his left.
7
and Tom Robinson now sits before you having taken the oath with the only good hand he possesses
8
is right I have nothing
9
but pity in my heart for the chief witness for the state.
10
She is the victim of cruel poverty and ignorance.
11
But my pity does not extend so far as to her putting a man's life at stake,
12
which she has done in an effort to get rid of her own guilt.
13
Now, I say guilt, gentlemen,
14
because it was guilt that motivated her.
15
She's committed no crime.
16
she has merely broken a rigid and time-honored code of our society.
17
A code so severe that whoever breaks it is hounded from our midst,
18
is unfit to live with.
19
She must destroy the evidence of her offense.
20
But what was the evidence of her offense?
21
Tom Robinson.
22
a human being.
23
She must put Tom Robinson away from her.
24
Tom Robinson was to her a daily reminder of what she did.
25
Now, what did she do?
26
She tempted a Negro.
27
She was white and she tempted a Negro.
28
She did something that in our society is unspeakable.
29
She kissed a black man.
30
Not an old uncle, but a strong, young, Negro man.
31
No code mattered to her before she broke it,
32
but it came crashing down on her afterwards.
33
The witnesses for the state,
34
with the exception of the sheriff of Macon County,
35
have presented themselves to you gentlemen,
36
to this court, in this cynical confidence that their testimony would not be doubted.
37
I cannot be doubted.
38
Confident that you gentlemen would go along with them on the assumption.
39
The evil assumption that all Negroes lie,
40
that all Negroes are basically immoral beings,
41
that all Negro men are not to be trusted around our women.
42
An assumption that one associates with minds of their caliber,
43
and which is in itself,
44
gentlemen, a lie, which I do not need to point out to you.
45
And so, a quiet, humble,
46
respectable Negro, who has had the unmitigated temerity to feel sorry for a white woman,
47
has had to put his word against two white peoples.
48
The defendant is not guilty,
49
but somebody in this courtroom is.
50
Now, gentlemen, in this country,
51
our courts are the great levelers.
52
In our courts, all men are created equal.
53
I'm no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and of our jury system.
54
That's no ideal to me.
55
That is a living, working reality.
56
I am confident that you gentlemen will review without passion the evidence that you have heard
57
come to a decision that restored this man to his family.
58
In the name of God, God, do your duty.
59
In the name of God, believe, Tom Robinson.

このビデオでスピーキングを練習する理由
アティカス・フィンチの閉廷弁論は、英語スピーキング練習に最適な素材です。彼の論理的で感情的な訴えは、英語の発音やイントネーションを学ぶための素晴らしい例です。特に、社会的な問題に深く根ざした内容は、言語の運用能力を向上させるだけでなく、英語を使って自分の意見を表現する力を育む助けとなります。このビデオを通じて、英語スピーキング練習を行うことで、難しい語彙や表現を実際の文脈で学び、shadow speakやshadow speech技法を用いて効果的に練習することができます。
文法と表現の文脈における分析
- 「have to」構文: フィンチは「put his word against two white peoples」という表現を使用しています。このような表現は「〜しなければならない」という義務を示し、文脈に応じた正確な使い方を学ぶことができます。
- 対比の使用: 「The defendant is not guilty, but somebody in this courtroom is.」という文では、無実と有罪の対比が強調されています。このような対比を使うことで、意見をより強力に伝える方法を学ぶことができます。
- 感情的な語彙: フィンチは「pity」や「guilt」といった強い感情を表現する単語を用いています。これにより、感情を効果的に表現するための語彙の幅を広げることができます。
一般的な発音の罠
このビデオで注意したい発音には、いくつかのトリッキーな言葉があります。たとえば、「Negro」や「guilt」といった単語は、適切なイントネーションと発音が求められます。また、アティカスの強い感情表現には独特なアクセントがあり、IELTS スピーキング対策を行う際には特に注意が必要です。これらの単語を繰り返し練習することで、英語シャドーイングのテクニックが進化し、発音の精度が向上します。
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。
