I'm a fraud.
152
I'm a phony.
153
My friends believed in me, but they need some kind of hero.
154

I'm doing this because I want to.

When you find yourself lost and disoriented and underwater and you don't know which way is off, it's important to breathe.
160
I don't deserve this.
161
I'm not a best actor.
162
Awards aren't about who's best, Bojack.
163
That's literally the only thing they're about.
164
No, all this means is that you're one of the special people.
165
I saw it the first time I met you.
166
You must have known it all your life.
167
And all your life, people told you that you were wrong.
168
That you weren't special.
169
That you were just like everybody else.
170
But now, the special people are saying, you were right, Bojack.
171
You were right.
172
Don't listen to them.
173
The world laughed at Da Vinci, too.
174
I'm not sure they did, Ma.
175
Dad, what did you think?
176
I think you're nuts.
177
You don't leave a steady job for some crazy dream.
178
And the worst part, you're bringing your brother down with you.
179
Well thanks, Dan.
180
Thanks for your support.
181
What'd I say?
182
You're not bringing me down.
183
You know what?
184
What do they know, huh?
185
That's not just them.
186
My whole lives everyone's telling us we can't do this, we can't do that.
187
Just sick and tired of feeling so small.
188
You know, I don't think I'm gonna go.
189
I don't know if I'm ready.
190
Ready for what?
191
I mean, what if it's not everything I want it to be?
192
I mean, sometimes the idea of something is better than the truth, you know?
193
I always prefer fiction to truth, personally.

I'd stake my career on it.
195
Yeah, that makes sense.

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。
