1
I Don't think anybody at drama center thought I'd be here either and uh
2
But probably be locked up in
3
In prison if you do what you love doing and you do it well
4
Then then everything should sort of fall into place
5
Especially if you're coming up with something from nothing which is presumably what we all do in the creative department
6
is that why I'm selling a handful of nothing
7
and Hoping to come through with some some results even if you don't know
8
quite what it is that you want to achieve.
9
That if you just keep cracking on towards it anyway, that, you know, if you do what you love doing.
10
I think as human beings, by nature, as a species, we're awful.
11
We have to constantly ask ourselves the uncomfortable questions.
12
I mean, is the world better for me having been in it?
13
And if the last few years have taught me anything, it's that rather than change the world to better suit our needs,
14
how can we change ourselves to better suit the world that we all live in?
15
And if one is passionate and committed in the noble pursuit of excellence within their chosen field, be that the arts, technology,
16
science, humanitarianism, conservationism,
17
And I would say one has a moral obligation and an ethical duty to be of service.
18
And to always strive to be part of the solution and not the problem.
19
After all, it's a world that our children would inherit.
20
That's worth being a part of.
21
That speaks to me.
22
What scares you?
23
Everything, not being in control, not knowing, anticipation, waiting for something to go wrong.
24
I'm an addict and alcoholic so I have my ups and downs.
25
I have compassion for certain, an understanding of certain erratic and unpredictable behaviour.
26
It doesn't always manifest itself in violence.
27
Yeah, yeah.
28
But as an artist as well, I think it does.
29
Within the creative arts, you can create things or you can destroy things, can't you?
30
I always take myself really seriously, so I beat myself up pretty badly.
31
The sort of thing abstract when, about issues that cause fear or bother that could get in the way of doing it, you know, getting in the way of doing my job or anything,
32
or getting involved with life.
33
And where did you think that came from for you?
34
I don't know.
35
I don't know.
36
I think my personal issues to do with alcoholism and things like that.
37
I can't remember, to be honest, because a lot of it's blackout, isn't it?
38
So you would blackout? Of course.
39
And this was what, alcohol?
40
Yeah, and everything else.
41
Everything else?
42
What is that?
43
All the different substances available?
44
Yeah.
45
Most of them?
46
Everything.
47
Wow.
48
It's lucky you're still here.
49
Yes.
50
And I'm very grateful to be here.
51
You know, it's no job.
52
And I put myself right out there for the risk of it, and I will fail, and it's okay to fail.
53
In fact, you learn more from failing and humiliation in my game than any other that I know.
54
And actually, that seems to be quite similar across the board in most professions from the people that I've met.
55
So it's good to fail, it's not embarrassing, and humiliation is your friend.
56
I don't know if it's nature or nurture or where it came from, it just is, and it's what I have and I have to deal with it on a daily basis.
57
And do you feel you're winning?
58
Yeah, today's a very, very good day.
59
Thoughtfully examine the roles we play and how to best be of use and to be of service
60
in a noble pursuit to make the world a better place.
61
I believe that perfection is unattainable, but that doesn't stop us trying.
62
And we should constantly be evolving,
63
redefining, refining, predicting, analyzing, adapting to whatever the world throws at us,
64
and in harmony with that world.
65
Passion, action, noble intention, creates progress.
66
Passion creates progress.

この動画で身につける英語スキル

「shadowspeak」や「shadow speech」の練習に最適なこの動画では、自然な会話のリズムと感情表現のスキルを磨けます。トム・ハーディの率直な語り口は、即興的な発言の流れと感情を込めたペースの変化を学ぶ好機です。また、自身の経験を話す際の自然な語順と接続詞の使い方も観察できます。動画で英語学習をするなら、これほど実践的な教材はありません。

聞き取りに注意すべき音のつながり

ネイティブの話し方の特徴であるリンキングやリダクションがたくさん含まれています。例えば、「I don't think」は「アイドントシンク」ではなく「アイドントシンク」（実際には「don't」の「t」が軽くなり、「think」とつながります）、「sort of」は「ソートオブ」ではなく「ソートゥブ」となります。これらの音のつながりを聞き分けることで、より自然な発音に近づけます。shadow speakの練習では、これらの細かな部分を繰り返し聞き、真似ることが大切です。

ネイティブのように話すコツ

リズムとストレスのパターンを真似ることが鍵です。トム・ハーディの話し方は、感情が高まる部分ではスピードが上がり、音量が大きくなり、沈黙がある部分ではペースが落ち、語尾が伸びる傾向があります。例えば、「Yes. And I'm very grateful to be here.」の「grateful」は強く発音され、「to be here」はゆっくりと話されます。shadowspeaksの練習では、このリズムを体感しながら繰り返し話すことで、自然な発話スタイルを身につけることができます。また、疑問文の際のイントネーションの上がり方や、肯定文の際の下がり方も観察してみてください。

動画で英語学習をする際は、これらのポイントを意識してshadow speechの練習を続けることで、より自然で流暢な英語を話すことができるようになります。

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。
