LESSON ・ 会話 + 検死 + 解説

★★★本題 — 誰を直して、誰を直さないか。誰を助けて、誰を助けないか — 講師の「直したい本能」と、1601年の救貧法の夜。英検1級の一次(10/4)の3日前、25分。本人は AI に書かせたお礼の文を読み上げ、帳面を見せた — 毎晩録音して1ページにする、前夜の25分は83ターン、自分の間違いを32個見つけた、1レッスンから66枚のカード、カードは1万枚以上。だから直さなくていい、AI がやる。講師は打ち明けた — 直さないでと頼まれても、間違えるたびにチャットに書きたくなる本能を抑えるのが難しい。誰が直してほしくて誰がほしくないかを覚えておく、それが仕事。本人 — 直すのは仕事、でも直しすぎは会話の流れを殺す、学習者は講師を選べる。 ★★そこから mate と chav(英国の階級)、言いすぎる口癖(講師自身も do you know what I mean を意識して減らした — それは相手が分かったかの確認で、繰り返すのは上達のしるし)、自信の無さは点に出る、を経て、本人が今朝電車で読んだ英検の長文 — 1601年のエリザベス救貧法 — に着いた。救うに値する貧者(deserving poor)と値しない貧者。講師 — 働ける体かどうかで分けたんだろう、教区ごとに自分の村の貧者を見る仕組み、1601年から1834年まで続いた、仕事の道具を買い与え徒弟奉公を手配した良い面もある、今こそ apprenticeships が要る。最後の一言は This is like the origins of welfare. Benefits, we call them. In England. 講師の「誰を直すか」と救貧法の「誰を助けるか」は同じ問い — 相手を見て、手を出す範囲を決める。 DMM (録音に講師の名前は無い。ただし本人が録音の中で「昨日あなたは私の AI の文の swallowed を eaten up に直した」と言い、講師もそれを受けているので、第125夜と同じ講師(根拠は録音の発言)。本人は「4〜5か月前、東京駅の近くで DMM を始めたとき、最初に当たった講師があなただった」とも言った。英国の講師) — 25分 ★文法は脇 — 前夜の宿題①(going to の be)は EXECUTED — I'm gonna read it out。②(人の型には a)は EXECUTED — I'm a quick learner(ただし I'm a real bit sophisticated guy は a bit of a の形が崩れた)。③(eaten up を自分の口で1回)は EXECUTED、up は立った — ただし Driving five hours got eaten up my entire day で受け身と能動が1文に重なった。今夜の宿題 — eaten up は向きを1つに決める(ate up my entire day / My entire day got eaten up by the drive)、国名・人名に the を付けない(☓the England)、more harm than good は丸ごと言う。

検死レポート(ノイズ=直すべき癖)
第126夜。本題 — 誰を直して、誰を直さないか。誰を助けて、誰を助けないか。英検1級の一次(10/4)の3日前。本人は AI に書かせたお礼の文を読み上げ、125夜分の帳面を見せた — 毎晩録音して1ページにする、前夜の25分は83ターン、自分の間違いを32個見つけた、1レッスンから66枚のカード。講師は4〜5か月前、本人が東京駅の近くで DMM を始めたときの最初の講師で、前夜に swallowed を eaten up に直した人(録音の本人の発言が根拠。名前は録音に無い)。講師は、直さないでと言われても間違えるたびにチャットに書きたくなる本能を抑えるのが難しい、誰が直してほしいかを覚えておく、と仕事の内側を明かした。話は mate(今は少し chav の響き)、言いすぎる口癖(講師も do you know what I mean を意識して減らした)、試験は自信の無さが点に出る、を経て、本人が今朝電車で読んだ英検の長文 — 1601年のエリザベス救貧法、救うに値する貧者と値しない貧者 — に着いた。講師は働ける体かで分けたのだろうと言い、徒弟奉公の手配という良い面も拾い、This is like the origins of welfare. Benefits, we call them で締めた。前夜の宿題 — ①going to の be は EXECUTED(I'm gonna read it out)、②人の型の a は EXECUTED(I'm a quick learner)、③eaten up を自分の口では EXECUTED(up は立った。ただし got eaten up my entire day と受け身と目的語が重なった)。
ネイティブらしくない癖
前夜に講師がくれた語を、翌日の冒頭と本文で自分から使う(knackered / eaten up / refrain)。これは維持する → 前夜にもらった語を1つ決めて、次のレッスンの最初の1分で使う
自分のカードから関連する決まり文句を引いて出す(Good things come to those who wait)。これは維持する → 講師の決まり文句を聞いたら、同じ意味の別の決まり文句を1つ返す
受け身と能動を1文で重ねる → 時間を食われる話は、食う側を主語にして ate up で言う
固有名詞の前に the を置く(人名・作品名・国名) → 人名・国名・作品名は裸。チーム名だけ the
定型句の部品を1つ落とす(more harm than good / in the long run / look it up) → 定型句はカードの形のまま丸ごと言う
日本語の意味で英単語を選ぶ(sensitive) → 人を褒める形容詞は、英語での意味を確かめてから使う
乖離(短いSVOで言い切る練習)
AIのお礼の文で125夜を見せる: After every lesson, I record it and turn it into a page. / Our 25 minutes turned into 83 turns.
見せたくてうずうずしている: I'm itching to show you where the magic happens.
直しすぎの是非: Too much correcting kills the flow of the conversation.
eaten up を自分の口で: Driving for five hours ate up my entire day. / My whole day got eaten up by the drive.
英国のニュース: AI kept recommending those articles to me. / A lot of young people are really struggling.
試験を応援してほしい: Keep your fingers crossed for me. / I'll give it my all.
あと1か月付き合ってほしい: Bear with me for another month of test prep.
講師の気づかいに礼: You're very perceptive. / That's very considerate of you.
救貧法の結論: The law was passed over four hundred years ago. / In the end, it did more harm than good.
英検の長文: It helps if you already know the topic. / I'm a bit of a know-it-all.
生徒Hello.
解説
★英検1級一次の3日前、1語目。
先生Hey, how are you?
解説
★How are you? — 普通の挨拶。
生徒Not too bad, pretty normal sort of day, so far.
解説
★★Not too bad, pretty normal sort of day, so far は正しい。sort of day は英国寄りの口語。前夜の「knackered な日」との対比が、この1行でもう立っている。
先生Yeah.
解説
★相づち。
生徒I'm not knackered like a, you know, yesterday was like a very, very tiring day.
解説
★★knackered を冒頭で使った。前夜に講師が置いた語(へとへと)を、翌日の2行目で自分から出した。like a, you know は言いながら探した跡で、誤りではない。
先生So what happened the sound cut out you said very very something yesterday was very very
解説
★音が途切れて、講師は very very の先を聞き取れなかった。
生徒D T D seed yeah, you were saying very very something yesterday was very very
解説
★書き起こしが崩れた行。前の講師の発言が混ざって入っている。数えない。
先生Yeah. Did you turn it? Thank you.
解説
★音の調整。何かを切り替えてもらって礼を言った。
生徒And so I put the
解説
★言いかけて止まった。
生徒Right. Can I read this out loud?
解説
★★Can I read this out loud? は正しい。読み上げの許可を先に取った。
先生Yeah, go on.
解説
★Go on. — どうぞ、続けて。
盗む
Yeah, go on.
go on = どうぞ、やって。相手が始めていいか聞いてきたときの、いちばん短い許可。
生徒So it's like, yesterday's class, AI wrote it. Before we start, I'd like to show you something and say thank you. And I will show you the picture. Do you remember yesterday? Last lesson, and you changed one word in my AI sentence. You said, yeah, swallowed sounds weird. And you would say, eaten up. You even checked it with AI yourself before you told me blah blah blah blah blah. And after every lesson, I recorded the conversation and turn it into a page like this. Hour 25 minutes not like, I will show you next time, you know. Before after finishing my exam. Our 25 minutes became, yeah, 83rd, you know, turns. And I went through every single, it's so meticulous and yeah, I am so itching to show, you know, where this where the magic happens, you know. It will be amazing. And I found 32 mistakes in my English. So that's why you don't have to correct my English. For example, I said, I don't remember, you know, I remember, yeah, yesterday I said, I got up early in the morning 4:00 AM. But yeah, I got up, up, I forgot the, you know, I didn't put the up. I got up early is the correct word, but I said, I got early.
ネイティブなら
After every lesson, I recorded the conversation and turned it into a page like this. I'll show you after my exam. Our 25 minutes became 83 turns. I went through every single one, and I'm itching to show you where the magic happens. I found 32 mistakes in my English, so you don't have to correct my English. For example, yesterday I said I got early at 4 AM. I forgot the up. I got up early is correct.
解説
☓turn it into a page → turned it into a page。recorded と並べたなら、同じ過去形で揃える。☓Hour 25 minutes / 83rd turns → our 25 minutes / 83 turns。hour と our は同じ音。数を数えるのは 83 turns(83rd は「83番目」)。☓I am so itching to show → I'm itching to show you。itch は「うずうずしている」で、so は要らない。見せる相手 you を置く。☓Before after finishing my exam → after my exam。before と after が両方入った。
★★★今夜の入口 — AI に書かせたお礼の文を、講師本人に読み上げた。前夜、講師は AI の文の swallowed を eaten up に直した。その直しを含めて、毎晩録音して1ページにしている、前夜の25分は83ターン、自分の間違いを32個見つけた — だから直さなくていい、AI がやる。いちばん小さい例が I got early(up を落とした)。礼を言いに来て、仕事を1つ減らそうとした。
先生Ah, ok.
解説
★Ah, ok. — 講師はまだ黙って聞いている。
生徒Kind of minor mistake? Yeah. But AI spotted it, you know. So you don't have to do this. I was really kind of...
ネイティブなら
It's kind of a minor mistake, but AI spotted it. So you don't have to do this.
解説
☓Kind of minor mistake → It's kind of a minor mistake。主語と a が落ちた。mistake は数える名詞。
★小さい間違いでも AI は拾う、だからあなたはやらなくていい — 2回目の「直さなくていい」。
先生In a way I have to try and refrain from doing it because my natural inclination is... some students ask to not be corrected but I have to like focus on that point because my instinct every time they make a mistake my instinct is telling me to write it in the chat box.
解説
★★★今夜の芯 — 講師が仕事の内側を明かした。直さないでと頼む生徒もいる。でも間違えるたびに、本能がチャットに書けと言う。だから抑えるのに集中しなければならない。礼を言われて、自分の手のほうを見せた。
盗む
My instinct is telling me to write it in the chat box.
My instinct is telling me to ~ = 本能が〜しろと言っている。分かっていても体が先に動く、を言う形。同じ行の I have to try and refrain from doing it(やらないよう我慢しなきゃいけない)と対で使える。
生徒Yes, that's your job. That's you guys' job.
解説
★★That's your job は正しい。you guys' job も口語では通る。講師の告白を、すぐに「それが仕事でしょう」と受けた。
先生To repeat what they say to them back to them but properly. But anyway...
解説
★★直すとは、相手の言ったことを正しい形で言い返すこと — と講師。講師の言う「直し」は、ここで言っている fix(本人の語のまま金具だけ正す)と同じ形をしている。
盗む
To repeat what they say back to them, but properly.
repeat ~ back to them = 相手の言葉をそのまま返す。直し方の説明に使える。properly を最後に置くと「ただし正しく」が後から乗る。
生徒That's your job. So nothing wrong with it. You are doing your stuff. I'm just an extra ordinary... you just assist. So thank you so much. Put up with kind of like, you know. I don't know, because that's your nature, you know, and your job. So you should do that with other students.
ネイティブなら
There's nothing wrong with it. You're just doing your thing. I'm just an ordinary student, and you're here to help. So thank you so much for putting up with me. It's your nature and your job, so you should keep doing it with other students.
解説
☓So nothing wrong with it → There's nothing wrong with it。There's が落ちた。☓You are doing your stuff → You're just doing your thing。「自分の仕事をしているだけ」は do your thing。☓Put up with kind of like → Thank you for putting up with me。put up with は「我慢して付き合う」。後ろに me を置いて礼の中に入れる。
★★本人は「直すのは仕事、他の生徒には続けて」と講師を立てた。put up with を出しかけて、言い切れずに終わった。
先生It's a tricky point because most students want to be corrected on everything. So when if they don't want to, what time doing it, then you have to sort of keep it in your mind that you're not doing it because otherwise you start doing it.
解説
★ほとんどの生徒は全部直してほしい。だから直さない相手のときは、そのことを頭に置いておかないと、手が勝手に直し始める — と講師。
盗む
You have to sort of keep it in your mind that you're not doing it.
keep it in your mind that ~ = 〜だということを頭に置いておく。習慣と逆のことをするときの言い方。
生徒Yeah, but there's no answer, there's no correct answer. You have to correct student English because that's why we are here. But at the same time, too much is, you know, such annoying and kills the momentum, you know, kill the flow of the conversation. So that's your skill, have to show up, you know what I mean? So some teachers really doesn't care about, you know, correcting. So and also from our side, we pick according to our tastes, you know what I mean? So eventually it's just, just, because we have a choice to choose teachers. So it's our choice. So you don't have to, you know, be a, you show your ways and it's not bad or good. It's just students just skip class again, that's a little bit harsh strict business. But maybe catering to your students' needs and feeling the, you know, oh, these guys, this student need this, that thing and other students... So that's your ability and your skill, right? So...
ネイティブなら
A good teacher reads the room.
NEWread the room
金具だけThere's no correct answer. You have to correct students' English, because that's why we're here. But at the same time, too much is so annoying and kills the flow of the conversation. That's where your skill shows. Some teachers really don't care about correcting. And from our side, we pick teachers according to our tastes, because we have a choice. So your way isn't good or bad. Students just won't book you again. That's a little harsh, but it's business. Catering to your students' needs and sensing what each student needs is your skill.
解説
☓such annoying → so annoying。形容詞だけなら so。such は such a pain のように名詞が来るとき。☓kills the momentum, kill the flow → kills the flow。主語は too much(単数)なので kills。☓some teachers really doesn't care → don't care。teachers は複数。☓this student need → this student needs。三単現の s。
★★★本人の答え — 直すのは仕事、でも直しすぎは会話の流れを殺す、学習者は講師を選べる、だから相手を見て変えるのが腕。catering to your students' needs は正しく出た。誰に何をどれだけ、を相手で決める。それを1語で言うのが read the room(場の空気・相手の状態を読む)。
先生Yeah, yeah, exactly. You have to keep it in mind and remember who wants to be corrected, who doesn't want to be corrected. Sometimes...
解説
★★★Yeah, exactly — 講師がそのまま受け取った。誰が直してほしくて、誰がほしくないか。覚えておくのが仕事。今夜の問いの、前半はここで決まった。

You have to keep it in mind and remember who wants to be corrected.
keep it in mind and remember who ~ = 誰が〜かを覚えておく。相手ごとに扱いを変える仕事の言い方。who doesn't want to be corrected と対で言うと線が立つ。
生徒Yeah, yeah, I'm not saying I wanted it corrected, but AI did that part, so you don't have to.
ネイティブなら
I'm not saying I don't want to be corrected. AI just does that part, so you don't have to.
解説
☓I'm not saying I wanted it corrected → I'm not saying I don't want to be corrected。言いたいのは「直されたくないわけじゃない」。not が1つ足りず、向きが逆になった。
★直されたくないわけではない、AI がそこをやるだけ — と本人は打ち消した。直さなくていい、を3回言ったあとの言い直し。
先生That's the thing, a lot of people say, well, don't do it in the lesson because I don't want to waste the time in the lesson, just put it in the notes or something afterwards.
解説
★★講師の知っている別の型 — レッスン中は直さず、終わってからノートに書いてくれ、と言う生徒も多い。時間を無駄にしたくないから。
盗む
Just put it in the notes afterwards.
put it in the notes = ノートに書いておく。「今は流して、後でまとめて」を頼む形。afterwards は英国寄りの「後で」。
生徒Yeah, that's kind of advanced students. Oh, if you're like in my shoes, you understand, because if you speak Japanese and every single time, you know, like, hold up, no, no, no, this Japanese sounds weird. That's very frustrating and doesn't help you in a long run. So but advanced students, you know, not beginners, you know, people should correct every single time and suggest new words, accordingly. So it's totally would depend on student. So... And I also keep a list of the expression you gave me the night... is was knackered, yeah, knackered I already internalised it, yeah. No problem. Patience, and you say it's funny. Patience is a virtue, you said. And yeah, and but if I add to this like a comment, I didn't respond it immediately at that time yesterday, but one of my cards in my app, it's like patient, patient yields a lot of goods to you kind of thing. And also another card says... So I'm, you know, my trick, you know, I'm just throwing out the words I remember. Everything in the cards, you know, like more than 10,000 cards I collected nowadays. So I will explain this detail in detail next time. And good things come to those who wait. Is the word right? Good things come to those who wait.
ネイティブなら
Patience pays off.
NEWpays off
金具だけIf you were in my shoes, you'd understand. If you're speaking Japanese and someone stops you every single time, like, hold up, no, that sounds weird, it's very frustrating and doesn't help you in the long run. But advanced students are different, and beginners need to be corrected every single time. It totally depends on the student. I also keep a list of the expressions you gave me last night. Knackered, I've already internalized it. Patience is a virtue, you said. I didn't respond to it at the time, but one of my cards says patience yields a lot of good things. I'll explain it in detail next time. Good things come to those who wait. Is that right?
解説
☓in a long run → in the long run。決まった形で the。☓I didn't respond it → I didn't respond to it。respond は to を取る。☓patient yields → patience yields。patient は形容詞(我慢強い)、名詞は patience。☓it's totally would depend → it totally depends。it's と would が重なった。☓I will explain this detail in detail → I'll explain it in detail。detail が2回入った。

That's a good one = それいいね、うまい言い方だ。相手が出した言い回しや冗談を認めるときの一言。
生徒Yeah, yeah. So yesterday I could say, I could have said, good things come to those who wait. So that's very natural conversation. And you said, it feels like eternity. Yeah. And also an eternity, yeah. I have a story about this but I will skip. But a mind, a mind blank, yeah you said, a mind blank. An adverse effect. Yeah, your advice is so precise to the point and on the money, yeah. You're the best, yeah. I listened yesterday. Your audio, our audio. Wow, your advice is to the point, precise, you know, it's so good. And of course, eaten up, yeah. Many things got eaten up my times, you know. Driving five hours got eaten up my entire day. You said, instead of using swallow, swallow, eaten up. Already internalized, already internalized. I'm a quick learner, you know. I pick things very early, pick things up very early. I turned all of them into flashcards, yeah. From that one lesson, I made 66 cards. And I review them every day. And there's one more thing. I've been doing this for, yeah, 125 lessons. Because since, you know, you are the first one, the first man, you know, I maybe four months or five months ago, I started DMM. And you are the first one.

解説
☓Many things got eaten up my times / Driving five hours got eaten up my entire day → Driving five hours ate up my entire day。got eaten up(食われた)の後ろに my entire day(食われたもの)が来て、受け身と能動が1文に重なった。向きを1つに決める — ate up my entire day か My entire day got eaten up by the drive。☓I pick things very early → I pick things up quickly。pick up で「覚える」。早く、は quickly。☓you are the first one → you were my very first teacher。4〜5か月前の話なので過去。☓near the Tokyo station → near Tokyo Station。駅名は固有名詞で the を付けない。

☓you kind of like say mate, is your predominant favorite phrase → mate is kind of your favorite word。you say mate と mate is your favorite の2文が1つに重なった。predominant と favorite も同じことを2回言っている。
★★英国では mate がお気に入りの語でしょう、と本人。ここから話は英国の階級へ入った。go-to = いつも手が伸びる定番。
先生Yes, but some people find it... It's got a bit of a kind of chav connotation nowadays. I don't know if you've ever heard of a chav before, but a chav is like a type of person in England, I'll show you a picture.
解説
★★講師 — mate は英国らしい語、でも今は少し chav の響きがある。chav を知らないなら写真を見せる、と言った。

It's got a bit of a chav connotation nowadays.
It's got a bit of a ~ connotation = 少し〜の響きがある。語の意味ではなく、付いてくる印象を言う形。a bit of a は本人が今夜崩した型(I'm a real bit ~)の正しい形でもある。
生徒Okay.
解説
★Okay.
先生Stands for... apparently it stands for Council House and Violence, but anyway it's like a lower class sort of citizen, um, somewhat kind of uneducated sort of lower class young, young person or something. But anyway...
解説
★★chav = 公営住宅と暴力の略だ「と言われている」(apparently)。教育を受けていない、下層の若者、と講師。
豆知識
chav は2000年代に広まった英国の蔑称。「Council Housed And Violent」の略という説は後から当てはめた語呂合わせ(backronym)で、語源はロマ語の chavi(子ども)とする説が有力。講師も apparently と伝聞の言い方をしている。
生徒Yeah, I'm so surprised. Every day, you know, you read your country's, you know, Britain's falling apart kind of news articles, you know. I don't, you know, AI suggested me. Oh my god, how, like, because many young people in Britain, unemployment rate is skyrocketing. And wow, wow. And very struggling. And hospitals like, because I read many articles and watched many YouTube, and it's very blue, sad. And yeah, it's soul crushing kind of stories. Maybe all over the world, but especially in Britain. You know what I mean? So... Wow. And...
ネイティブなら
Every day I read news articles about Britain falling apart. AI keeps recommending them to me. Youth unemployment in Britain is skyrocketing, and young people are really struggling. And the hospitals, too. I've read so many articles and watched so many YouTube videos. It's depressing, soul-crushing stuff.
解説
☓AI suggested me → AI keeps recommending them to me。suggest は人を直接置けない。勧める、は recommend ~ to me。☓very struggling → they're really struggling。struggling は動詞なので very ではなく really、主語も要る。☓many young people in Britain, unemployment rate is skyrocketing → youth unemployment in Britain is skyrocketing。主語が2つ並んだ。☓it's very blue, sad → it's depressing。blue は人の気分。話の中身が暗い、は depressing。
★★英国が崩れていくニュースを毎日読む、と本人。若者の失業、病院。skyrocketing と soul crushing は正しく出た。英国人の講師に、英国の暗い話を向けた。
先生Yeah, yeah, yeah, mate is a very British thing. Um, but yeah, some people say it too much I guess and they're saying it like every two seconds and then that can make it annoying.

★★★I'm guilty as charged は正しい。刃を自分に向けた。you know と like を多用するのは本人のこと。

★★describing my symptom — それ、私の症状の説明です、と本人。口癖を症状と呼んで、自分のことにした。

★講師の貼る記事は全部 AI に入れる、と本人。
先生Working class roots, yeah. So here we go. Historically, mate evolved out of the 19th century working class occupational lexicon, such as shipmates or a tradesman's mate, signifying egalitarianism and peer solidarity among working men. Because the term chav was weaponized as a derogatory middle-class stereotype aimed specifically at lower-income working-class youth, the vocabulary inherently associated with that social class got pulled in.
解説
★★講師が記事を読み上げた — mate は19世紀の労働者の職業語(shipmate / tradesman's mate)から来て、平等と仲間意識の語だった。chav が中産階級の蔑称として使われ、その階級の語彙ごと引きずられた。英語の授業で、英国の階級の話を深掘りした。

生徒Okay, I will drop all my test prep. So I want to show it. Only five minutes left, yeah. So let's wait. Because writing test, it's very historical. Today, because it's very fresh memory for me. Today I read the article, Eiken article, about, maybe knowledgeable, you know, do you know the England, England's poor laws? Poor laws, they say in this article. It's like a, the question was like, what was the main reason for the creation of the Elizabethan poor law of 1601? That's the question, you know, in this article. And it's very funny, because... Okay, I'm gonna read it out. England's Poor Laws. In medieval times, England's impoverished peasants were mainly left to survive on their own without aid from the state. While the church provided a degree of charity to those living in poverty, it was generally taken for granted that a spike in food prices would also lead to a spike in mortality rates. Later, as Britain began to leave the medieval way of life behind, population growth started to outpace economic expansion, and changes in the agricultural system increased unemployment, causing poverty rates to skyrocket. So this is, I'm just reading. I read. Today I read in a, on my train. Commuting, you know, on my train. So that's my fresh memory.

先生What is Elizabethan actually? Cause a lot of people were saying this actually, because you know um, in the politics they keep talking about the downfall of London and the downfall of Europe and this and that. And how it doesn't look like how it used to look. And back in the Victorian and the Elizabethan times everything was so picturesque, you know, and everyone dressed smartly and everyone was well-to-do and everyone was educated. It's funny but every time someone makes one of those videos promoting that view...

But it basically, it was sort of like saying like, if you live in one particular parish, like you have your own council there. That like whatever poor people you have living in your village, you have to look after them yourselves, like the state isn't going to look after them.
