1
The writing's on the wall.
2
Well, in any event, we'll have to think of something to make the public think kindly towards administration because of the Europass.
3
Quite.
4
Europass?
5
Europass.
6
European Identity Card.
7
Well, Bernard, surely you've informed the Minister...
8
Minister, didn't you do your boxes last night?
9
No, I was redrafting the redraft of the draft.
10
Well, briefly, Minister, Brussels is about to decree
11
that there should be a new European Identity Card to be carried by all citizens of the EEC.
12
Now the Foreign Office is quite ready to go along with it as a quid pro quo
13
for a deal over the butter mountain, the wine lake and the milk ocean.
14
The lamb war and the cod stink.
15
And quite obviously the Prime Minister wants you to introduce the legislation.
16
Me?
17
Yes, well it's well known that you're pro-Europe you see
18
and it would simplify our administration enormously in the long run So it's a good idea.
19
Good idea.
20
Good idea.
21
Good idea.
22
Not a good idea.
23
Political suicide.
24
Trying to make British people carry compulsory identification papers.
25
They'll say I'm introducing a police state again.
26
Is this what we fought two world wars for Humphrey?
27
Well Minister it's really little more than a sort of driving license.
28
It's the last meal in my coffin that's what it is.
29
You might get away with calling it Euro Club Express.
30
Why do we have to introduce it?
31
Can't the Foreign Office do it?
32
Well in fact that was the Prime Minister's original suggestion
33
that the Foreign Secretary thought that this was a Home Office matter
34
and the Home Office took the view that it was essentially an administrative matter and the Prime Minister agreed.
35
They're all playing pass the parcel.
36
Can you blame them when you can hear it ticking?
37
Well I'm afraid that the identity card bill is planned to be the last action of this department.
38
Wonderful ammunition for the anti-Europeans.
39
Yes, don't the Foreign Office realize what damage this will do to the European idea?
40
Well, I'm sure they do.
41
That's why they support it.
42
Well, surely the Foreign Office is pro-Europe, isn't it?
43
Yes and no. If you'll forgive the expression.
44
The Foreign Office is pro-Europe because it is really anti-Europe.
45
The Civil Service was united in its desire to make sure that the common market didn't work.
46
That's why we went into it.
47
What are you talking about?
48
Minister, Britain has had the same foreign policy objective for at least the last 500 years to create a disunited Europe.
49
In that cause, we have fought with the Dutch against the Spanish, with the Germans against the French, with the French and Italians against the Germans, and with the French against the Germans and Italians.
50
Divide and rule, you see.
51
Why should we change now, when it's worked so well?
52
Ancient history, surely.
53
Yes, and current policy.
54
We had to break the whole thing up, so we had to get inside.
55
We tried to break it up from the outside, but that wouldn't work.
56
Now that we're inside, we can make a complete pig's breakfast of the whole thing.
57
Set the Germans against the French, the French against the Italians, the Italians against the Dutch.
58
The Foreign Office is terribly pleased.
59
It's just like old times.
60
Surely we're all committed to the European ideal.
61
Really, Minister?
62
If not, why are we pressing for an increase in the membership?
63
Well, for the same reason.
64
It's just like the United Nations, in fact.
65
The more members it has, the more arguments it can stir up, the more futile and impotent it becomes.
66
Appalling cynicism.
67
Yes.
68
We call it diplomacy, Minister.

この動画の文法
話し手がよく使っている文型を、動画の実際の表現とともに紹介します。

|---|---|
| 現在完了形 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去の出来事が今も関係している | you've informed · has had · have fought |
| 受動態 be + 過去分詞 — 誰がするかより、何が起きるかに焦点を当てる | be carried · is planned · was united |
注意したい発音
話し手はI'm, didn't, we'reなど、短縮形や弱形を17回使っています。聞こえたとおりの短い形で発音しましょう。
- 「sh」と「zh」の音: ammunition /ˌæmjuˈnɪʃən/, identification /aɪˌdɛn(t)ɪfɪˈkeɪʃn̩/

日本語話者が苦手な音：
- /r/ と /l/ の区別 — /l/ は舌先を歯茎につけ、/r/ はどこにもつけない: parcel /ˈpɑɹsəl/, compulsory /kəmˈpʌlsəɹi/, terribly /ˈtɛɹ.ɪ.bli/
- /f/ — 「フ」ではなく、上の歯と下唇で出す: futile /ˈfju.taɪl/, simplify /ˈsɪmplɪfaɪ/, coffin /ˈkɔfɪn/, inform /ɪnˈfɔɹm/, identification /aɪˌdɛn(t)ɪfɪˈkeɪʃn̩/
- 子音の連続 — 間に母音を入れない: futile /ˈfju.taɪl/, impotent /ˈɪm.pə.tənt/, simplify /ˈsɪmplɪfaɪ/, stir /stɝ/, kindly /ˈkaɪn(d)li/

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。
