英語は体で身につける

 　英語の学習方針を大きく変えることにした。英語の短文を音読し、暗記していくのだが、次の通りである。
「英語を読み上げよう。読み上げるのは短文(単語数の少ないセンテンス)がよい。短文トレーーングをすると、自然に長文を読んだり、書いたりできるようになる。
　とにかく、短文をたくさん読み上げよう。読み上げ用の短文をたくさん用意しておいて、毎日、それを読み上げる。長文トレーーングをしてはいけない。長文を読んでいると、英語に対して「暗号解読」のような姿勢で接することになってしまうからだ。英語は暗号ではありませんから、そのような接し方は、間違いなのだ。とにかく、英文のトレーニングは、短文に限る」（『13歳からの勉強ノート　必ず成績が良くなる40のルール』、小野田博一著、PHPエディターズ・グループ、2009年、要約）。

“May I go to the Ball as well?” she asked,
in a scared whisper.

英語辞書「食べ比べ」

 　朝日新聞コラム＜（牟田都子の落ち穂拾い）四者四様、辞書「食べ比べ」＞を読んで、英語の辞書も、複数持って辞書の「食べ比べ」をしたら、ヒョっとしたら英語の辞書調べも楽しめるかもしれないと思った。

疑問点・１

あなたに見せたいものがあるんです。
I want to show you something.
　◎この somethingは「ある物」の意。

会ってほしい人がいるんです。
I want you to meet someone.
　◎この someone は、「ある人」の意。（『１３歳からの英語ノート』、p46）

　この二つの例文の違いがわからない。初めは、両者が同じような文に思えるだけで、どのようにわからないのかさえ、わからなかった。

　しかし、I want you to show something. や、I want to meet you someone.のようにしても、同じ意味になってしまうように思えてしまうのだ。

５文型は不要？

　英文法に５文型は欠かせないものと思ってきた。ところが、５文型は不要という本があった。『１３歳からの英語ノート』である。

　日本語で出版されている英文法の本には「５文型」なるもののページがあります。このページは意味がないので無視しましょう。英語で書かれた英文法の本には、この「５文型」のページはありません。文型というとらえ方は、多分、日本人にとって、英語は暗号解きの対象であった時代の名残なのでしょう。p37

英語jはトレーニング

　英語学習法といった本がたくさんある。『１３歳からの英語ノート』によれば、英語jは体育と同じようにトレーニングする教科だという。

Daniel Finds Poem ６

Morning dew glistens,
Crisp leaves crunch,
There's a home with many windows
in the old stone wall.
Cool pools to dive in,
Sun-warmed sand to lie in,
Singing at twilight when
the day is done.
Bright stars in the branches,
Moonlight on the grass,
And silent wings to take me
wherever I go.

On the way home, Daniel stops to watch
the sunset sky reflecting in the pond.

MY LIGHT６

When you turn on lights at night,
they look like stars have fallen down to earth.
Those lights are energy from me, your golden star,
caught and transformed by your earth,
and by yourselves.

For a moment,
my light illuminates your towns and cities.

夜に明かりをつけると、星が地球に落ちたように見えます。
それらの光は、あなたの黄金の星である私からのエネルギーであり、あなたの地球によって、そしてあなた自身によって捕らえられ、変換されます。

一瞬、私の光があなたの町や都市を照らします。

Then, like the starlight from which it came,
fades back into space.

そして、それが来た星の光のように、宇宙にフェードバックします。

MY LIGHT 5

My light falls on solar cells
and charges their electrons.

No turbines, no generators——

electricity streams across the cells,
which pour it into copper wires.

Electricity flows to the building below.

When darkness falls, you turn a switch.
From rushing wind and water,
from burning coal, from silent solar cells,
you let my energy into your room.
Electricity lights the night.

Inside a light bulb,
a wire grows hot.
It glows.

Inside a fluorescent tube,
gas is energized.
It glows.

Other plants die and are buried.
Some were buried millions
and millions of years ago
and turned to coal.
Then my energy stayed
deep underground,
locked inside the coal.

他の植物は死んで埋もれている。いくつかは何百万年も前に埋葬され、石炭に変わった。その後、私のエネルギーは地下深くにとどまり、石炭の中に閉じ込められました。

Crunch! Roar!
Now you humans dig up the coal.
You haul it out and burn it.

クランチ！轟音！

今、あなたたち人間は石炭を掘り起こします。

あなたはそれを運び出して燃やします。

The fire heats water into steam.
Whoosh!
The steam shoots against
giant turbines, which spin
round and round. They send
my energy to generators,
which make electricity.

火は水を蒸気に加熱する。

うわー！

The wind pushes blades

spinning my energy to generators,
which make electricity.

Electricity pours into
copper wires and flows out to
your towns and cities.

Green plants catch my light
and use my energy to help
build leaves and stems.

My energy builds each bush
and flower, reed and cactus,
fruit and tree.
My light fuels all the plants on earth.

some of the plants are eaten.
My energy flows to everything that eats them.

MY LIGHT ２

The water flows from streams to
rivers, carrying my energy
down,
down,
down.

A dam !
You humans stop the flow.
My energy is trapped

The water spins the turbines
round and round.
It spins my energy to generators

Now my energy is in the electricity.
It flows away in copper wires .

The wires hum!
Electricity flows
pulsing, pulsing, pulsing
my energy out to your towns
and cities

MY LIGHT

When you see the city lights at night,
they look like stars fallen down to earth.

Those lights ARE starlight - my light.

I am your sun, a golden star,
you see my radiance as light.

Each day I warm your land and water.
Tiny drops of warm water rise and form clouds

The clouds cool down,
My energy falls in rain.

THE HAPPY DAY 2

辞書を丁寧に引きましょう

　多読を勧めているの本を読むと、辞書はなるべく使わないという本が多い。しかし、辞書を丁寧に引くことを進めている参考書も多い。「文脈に最も適合する意味を辞書の情報のなかから見つけ出し」、ながら読み進めるというのは、確かに、時間がかかっても大切なのかもしれない。

　独習者の一番の助っ人は何と言っても辞書です。少々時間がかかっても、手間がかかっても、やはり辞書を頼りに読み進むべきでしょう。辞書は丁寧に調べます。
たとえば、語の意味だけ調べて終わりにしないで、例文まで見れば、その語のニュアンスが明確に把握できることがあります。熟語欄も大切です。辞書をひきながら、 その語の前後の文章を読み返してください。そして、その文脈に最も適合する意味を辞書の情報のなかから見つけ出してください。
　 最も適切な意味を拾い出すという作業は時間のかかる地味な作業です。しかしこれを繰り返すことを通じて、実はみなさんは英語以外にも通じる重要な力を磨いているのです。それは文章の流れを追う力、文脈を抑える力です。これは、英語に限らず、 日本語でも、文章を読むときに欠くことのできない力です。英語の文章とゆっくり付き合うなかで、この力を養ってください。（『英語〈Ａ〉』、山本恭子著、中央大学通信教育部、p５〜６）

2,必要な時は文法書を参照しましょう。
　基本的なものでいいですから、文法書を1冊、手近においてください。（中略）すんなり理解できないときは、文法書のその項目を参照してください。とくに、関係代名詞、分詞構文、名詞を修飾する過去分詞の用法については、ぜひとも確認してください。それらの文法事項の確認によって、英語の文章を読むことがかなり容易になることと思います。p６

The Boy who cried Wolf 4

A few days later, a wolf DID come out of the forest.
Sam was terrified. He ran down to the village as fast as he could.
　Help
　please help!

    terrified：（形容詞）恐れた　怯えた

Nobody believed him.
　Do you think we're so stupid?
　I promise you, there's a wolf!

stupid：愚かな　馬鹿な
promise：約束する

Sam begged them to come with him.
　You have to help me.
This time, they just laughed at him.

　　beg：頼む　懇願する

In the end, Sam had to go back up the hill all alone.
The wolf had killed some of the sheep.
The rest had run away.

　　rest：残り

Sam stayed in the meadow until it was dark.
Finally, the villagers came to find him.

　　Finally：とうとう　結局

　（Our sheep! NO!）
　（I told you!）

"Why didn't you believe me?” he asked.
“You always told lies before,” they said.
　I’m sorry.

　　lie：嘘、偽り

“I've learned my lesson.
Never again,” said Sam.

　　learn：習得する　身につける

The Boy who cried Wolf 3

Some people didn't believe him.
　Oh yes?
　We'd better make sure.
But most ran up the hill to see.

believe：信じる
make sure（確信して、自信を持って）：確かめる

Puffing and panting, they reached the meadow.
Of course, there was no wolf.
The sheep were quietly eating the grass.
　What are you grinning at.
Everyone was very angry, but sam just laughed.

　　　grin：笑う、にっこりする（なにニヤニヤ笑っているの？）

A week later, Sam was bored again.
He ran down the hill to the village.
　Help Help!
　There really is a wolf!
　come quickly!
Most people didn't belive him this time,
Just a few ran up the hill.

Puffing and panting, they reached the meadow.
Of course, there was no wolf.
The sheep were quietly eating the grass.
　You think you’re so clever…
New everyone was furious. Sam laughed and laughed.

　　　furious：激怒した

The Boy who cried Wolf 2

He tried talking to the sheep.
And how are you today?
   Baa-aa(メーメー）
But they didn't have much to say.

"Nobody ever comes up here,” moaned Sam.
"Nothing ever happens.”
One day, he had an idea.
　I could make something happen.

ever：これまで
moan：不平、愚痴を言う。

Everyone ran up the hill with him.
　Harry!
　My sheep!

Puffing and panting, they reached the meadow.
Of course, there was no wolf.
　All that way, for nothing.
The sheep were quietly eating the grass.

Puffing and panting：息を切らし、喘ぎながら
Of course：もちろん
▸ come all this way for nothing
     はるばるやってきて徒労に終わる
▸ Your efforts won't be for nothing.
     君の努力はむだにはならないよ

The villagers were angry, but sam just laughed.
　That was funny.
　No it wasn’t. 

A few days later, Sam was bored again.
He ran down the hill to the village.
　Help Help!
　what's the matter now?
　come quickly!
"A wolf!" he shouted,
"A wolf has come out of the forest!”

        matter：事件、問題

The Boy who cried Wolf

This story is about Sam, some sheep, the villagers and (maybe) a wolf.

Sam lived in a little village in the mountains.

Every day he took the sheep from the village up
the hill to a grassy meadow.
　　Here we are again.

　　grassy meadow：草で覆われた牧草地

He watched them from morning until evening.
　　This way, mutton brain...
Then he took them home again. 

Every day was the same.
　 Same old mountains, same old trees
Sam was lonely and he was so bored.
All his friends were down in the village.

same：同じ
lonely：ひとりぼっち
bored：退屈して

英文音読と暗誦の勧め

　音読が脳の活性化のためにもいいことはわかっていた。英語の英文音読も、黙読よりも脳の活動が活発になることが確かめられているという。画像で示されているのだから、納得できる。口を動かしたり声を出したり、黙読よりも体を余計に使うのだから、少し考えれば、当然と言えば当然のことでもある。

　しかし、『からだを揺さぶる英語入門』で注目した点は、日本なまりの英文朗読（スピーチ）があってもいいのではないか、という提案である。日本語の方言だって、ひどく訛ってわからないことさえあるのだから、発音を気にするよりも、読みながら英文を理解できるようになることの方が重要かもしれない。

　もう一つ挙げるとすれば、「尺取り虫のように、少しずつ少しずつ進みながら徐々に距離を延ばしていく」暗誦方法だ。これは素晴らしい。リーディングにも、音読にも、この方式を活用し、一歩一歩、歩んでいけばいい。

　この本の主旨は、ネイティブのような英語で朗読しようということではない。
　まずは、からだがムズムズと動きだし、英語を声に出して読むことの気持ちよさを実感しようということだ。英語の上達のために朗読が必要だと考えるだけではなく、世の中のいろいろな楽しみの一つに、英語を朗読することの楽しみを加えたい。
　これはすでに英語を朗読することの楽しみを身にしみて感じている人には当たり前もしれないが、私自身は受験勉強も含めて英語を長い期間勉強しこの楽しみを知らずに多くの時間を過ごしてきた。
　まずは、日本人っぼい英語であることを恐れずに声を出してみる。そうして割り切ってみると、意外と英語を読み上げるのは苦にならない。
　アジアの国々では、それぞれの国のなまりの強い英語を堂々と話している。（中略）、「日本人なまりの英語」というものも存在しても構わないのではないか。（『からだを揺さぶる英語入門』、齋藤孝著、角川書店、2003年、p30〜31）

　自転車に完全に乗れるようになってしまえば、一生乗ることができる。いい加減なところで練習をやめてしまえば、一生乗ることがきない。これが、技というものの論理だ。
　暗誦は、自転車を完全に乗れるようになるということだ。その言葉が自分のからだの中に入り、自分の一部となる。すると、ただ知っているとか聞いたことがあるという次元とはまったく違う効果を発揮するようになる。それも一時的な効果ではなく、生涯にわたって、自分の中の鏡となり道しるべとなってくれるのである。
　暗誦には、尺取り虫方式が適している。少しずつ区切って復誦し、覚えていく。少し慣れてきたら、長めの文章を暗誦するようにする。尺取り虫のように、少しずつ少しずつ進みながら徐々に距離を延ばしていくのでる。これは、能の謡や狂言など、日本の伝統的な芸能の基本的な練習方法でもある。（上同、120）

Little Red Riding Hood ９

"Perhaps the old woman is still inside you(wolfのこと）.
I might be able to save her.”

John is able to run fast.

ジョンは速く走ることができる

I think I might be able to help you.

ひょっとしたらお役に立てるかもしれません

 
He picked up some scissors.
Then he snipped open the wolf's tummy.

Snip, snip... He saw a bright red hood.
Snip, snip...Little Red Riding Hood’s head popped out.
　　　Phew!

"Keep cutting!" she cried.
“Grandmother's still in there."

Snippety-snip, faster and faster... The woodcutter kept
cutting until Grandmother popped out too.
   Did I fall asleep?

Quick as a flash, Little Red Riding Hood ran outside and
picked up lots of stones.

The woodcutter put them in the wolf's tummy
and the grandmother sewed the tummy up.

Then the wolf woke up.
He tried to sneak out of the door, but the stones rattled
inside him.

　　rattle：ガタガタと音を立てる

"Now everyone can hear you coming," said the
woodcutter, laughing.（ガタガタと音音がするので）

“But I'll never catch anyone,” cried the wolf.

“Exactly!” said the woodcutter.

Exactly：その通り

“You'll just have to eat vegetables instead," said
Little Red Riding Hood.

The wolf never ate another person.
　　I don't like little girls!

As for Little Red Riding Hood, she never,
ever talked to a wolf again.

Little Red Riding Hood ８

He jumped out of bed and gobbled up Little Red Riding Hood.

“Full at last!” he said, licking his lips.
Then he lay down on the bed to sleep.

As the wolf slept, he snored... very loudly.

He snored so loudly the woodcutter heard him.
“I’ve never heard the old woman snore that loudly,” he thought.

“I'll just make sure she's okay.”

But the woodcutter couldn't
see the grandmother anywhere
– only a very fat wolf.

snore：イビキをかく
loudly：騒々しく
anywhere：〖否定的文脈で〗どこに[へ]も(…ない)
　I'm not going anywhere tonight. 今夜はどこにも行かない

“Oh no!” thought the woodcutter. “The wolf's eaten
the old woman."

Just then, the woodcutter had an idea.

Little Red Riding Hood ７

"Oh Grandmother,” she said.
“What big ears you have.”

“All the better to hear you
with," said the wolf.

Little Red Riding Hood came closer to the bed.

“Oh Grandmother,” she said.
“What big eyes you have.”

“All the better to see you with," said the wolf.

Little Red Riding Hood came closer still.

close (clos·er; -est)
(空間的·時間的に)〔…に〕接して, すぐそばに, 近くに, 詰めて

“Oh Grandmother,” she said.
“What big hairy hands you have.”

“All the better to hug you with,” said the wolf.

Little Red Riding Hood was now standing
right next to the bed.

"But Grandmother,” she
cried, “what big sharp teeth you have.”

"All the better to eat you
with," snapped the wolf.

Little Red Riding Hood６

Soon he heard a knock at the door.

“Who's there?” he said.
“Your granddaughter, Little
Red Riding Hood.”

“Let yourself in,” called the wolf.
（I'm too weak to get up）

He pulled on the grandmother's cap
and hid under the blankets.

“I've brought you some
vegetable soup," said Little Red Riding Hood.

"Lovely," snarled the wolf.
“I mean lovely!” he added in a squeak.

snarl：どなって言う, とげとげしく言う

“Put the basket on the stool and come and sit next to me."
Little Red Riding Hood looked at her grandmother.
She looked again.

Little Red Riding Hood 5

So Little Red Riding Hood 

　left the path to look for flowers...

and the wolf raced off to the
grandmother's house.

He knocked lightly on the door. Tap! Tap! Tap!
I'm so wonderfully wicked and clever!

"Who's there?" asked the grandmother.

"Your granddaughter, Little Red Riding Hood,"
squeaked the wolf.

“I've brought you some lovely vegetable soup.”

lightly：そっと　軽やかに
wicked：悪い　不道徳な
clever：ずる賢い
granddaughter：孫娘
squeak：…と金切り声で言う

“Let yourself in," said the grandmother.

　I'm too weak to get up.

The wolf leaped into the room.

He gobbled up Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother.

　Mmm. Bony, but not bad.

Then he climbed into bed to wait for Little Red Riding Hood.

weak：弱い、苦手
gobbled up：ガツガツと急いで食べる
bony：痩せこけた

Little Red Riding Hood ４

“Perhaps I can eat Little Red Riding Hood
and her grandmother!” he thought.

He put on his softest voice.
"Where does your grandmother live?” he asked.

　　perhaps：ひょっとすると
　　put：｟SVO+｠ 他動詞1、置く、表現する 、記入する　
　　putに「表現する」という意味があることがわかった。
　　put it into plain English
　　　それを簡単な英語に直す

“In the cottage on the other side of the woods,”
said Little Red Riding Hood.

“How perfect!” thought the wolf, rubbing his tummy.
"How delicious!”

rubbing his tummy：彼のお腹をこすりながら
How delicious：なんて美味しいそう

"Why don't you take her some flowers?” he suggested.

　　That's a lovely idea! 

“What a kind wolf you are,"
said Little Red Riding Hood.

Little Red Riding Hood 3

And the wolf didn't see Little Red Riding Hood either

Little Red Riding Hood
stepped on the wolf's tail..
　（My tail!）
　（Oops!）

either：〖否定文で; 文尾で〗…もまた(…ない)
oops：間投詞｟くだけて｠ おっと(危ない), いけない, しまった (!うっかりへまをした時思わず出る言葉)

then on his paw...

　（My paw!）

and dropped her basket
SMACK! on his head.
　（My head!）

“Look where you're going.
said the wolf, huffily.

"But you were in the middle
of the path,” said Little Red
Riding Hood.

She had forgotten the rule –
Don't talk to wolves.

forgotten：forget（忘れる　思い出せない）の過去分詞

"What have you got in that basket?" asked the wolf, hungrily.

“Vegetable soup,” replied
Little Red Riding Hood. “I
taking it to my grandmother.

"Vegetables?” cried the
wolf. “How revolting!”

　revolting：不愉快な

“Wolves only eat juicy, red
meat I never touch vegetables,"
he added.

touch：触るだけでなく、食物などに手をつける
　I never touch a drop.
　酒は一滴も飲みません.

Now, time for my lunch!（wolfの独り言）

The wolf was about to gobble
up Little Red Riding Hood.
But then he had an idea. 

I was about to ～するところだった。
gobbled up：ガツガツと急いで食べる

Little Red Riding Hood 3

“Good morning,” said Little Red Riding Hood, waving to him.
（I know! I'll run ahead and wait for her.：wolfの独り言）

　wave は波だが、手を振る（挨拶として）という意味もあった。
　Let him go ahead.
　　彼に先に[先頭を]行ってもらおう
　ahead ↔ behind〖be(…に) hind(後ろ)〗

Little Red Riding Hood walked
deeper and deeper into the woods...
It grew darker and darker.

Then the sun hid behind the
clouds and it got darker still.

　Come on, lunch. Where are you?（wolfの独り言）

So Little Red Riding Hood didn't see
the wolf waiting for her on the path.(wolfを形容している）

Little Red Riding Hood ２

“I will,” promised Little Red Riding Hood and she set off.

promise：約束する
