レッスンを作成中...
1
You're up in the middle of the night and again you're in trouble in love.
2
You had another discussion over dinner.
3
You tried to get them to see that sometimes
4
because of X you do Y and they respond with Z and it's unpleasant.
5
And they countered at first politely and then with mounting irritation
6
that even though A you think B and that's why C is maddening to them.
7
Both of you tried, pretty valiantly, to get your points across with calm and kindness.
8
Both of you managed to be more or less polite, more or less restrained, more or less grown up.
9
And by the end of two hours of conversation, you parted in an almost affectionate way and went to sleep in different rooms.
10
But it's not enough and you know it.
11
That's why you're up at 3am hearing the rain fall.
12
You're pursued by questions.
13
What do you keep doing wrong in love?
14
Do you even belong together with this obviously very nice person?
15
Why is it so hard?
16
You briefly wonder what it would be like to leave.
17
You picture some new dates.
18
But the picture soon curdles.
19
The horror of starting all over again with someone new.
20
You'd miss your partner.
21
You have a lot of shared memories.
22
There used to be, until quite recently, considerable hope.
23
You don't know what to do.
24
If only there was someone to speak to.
25
A wise, kind person who would know how to cut through this.
26
Then you realise that more than a solution, what you really want is someone who could understand how hard it is that there isn't one.
27
Someone who would just say, I know, I know.
28
Sometimes we don't need solutions.
29
We need sympathy for our impasses.
30
We need to know that we're not idiots for having the challenges we have.
31
That other sensible people have been here too.
32
That it could almost be okay to have this difficulty forever.
33
Maybe it's just one of life's givens.
34
That's when a bracing, pessimistic philosophy is called for.
35
The sort that says, of course you're miserable, you're alive.
36
Of course it's a mess.
37
Welcome to existence.
38
Of course love is a bit impossible.
39
You're a human being.
40
This isn't the first choice, naturally naturally.
41
You wanted to sort this out perfectly, the way you like to sort out other things perfectly, at work, in domestic life.
42
But this isn't a cupboard or an accounting document.
43
The number of people who have this area of life properly sorted out is minuscule, perhaps below 1%.
44
You have failed here, that's for sure, but you're not exceptionally stupid for that.
45
You're averagely mad, averagely emotionally perturbed,
46
and what you're trying to do is something exceptionally, extraordinarily, dementedly hard.
47
Poor you and poor all of us.

このレッスンについて
「When Love Isn't Easy」を使って、シャドーイングで英語を練習しましょう。
毎日15〜30分の練習で、IELTSスピーキングへの自信と実践的な英会話力が身につきます。
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。
