LESSON ・ 会話 + 検死 + 解説
★★★本題 — 物差しの当日、測られたのは英語の外側だった。英検1級の一次(10/4 日曜)を受けた日の夜、25分。本人は試験会場から帰って、外から音声だけで入った。前夜(第128夜)、本人は「自分で採点すると La La Land に住む、外から測る物差しが要る」と言った。今日、その物差しの前に座った。読解とリスニングは、当日の解答速報で自己採点して1問ミス。崩れたのは英語の外側 — 消しゴムと鉛筆を忘れてコンビニへ、前日に100円ショップで買ったアナログの腕時計が試験中に止まっていた、壁に時計が無い、好きな後ろの席でリスニングが反響した(講師 — Should have sat closer)、20〜30人の部屋が暑く脳が焼けた(my brain is fried)。 ★★作文は準備ゼロ。お題は Should governments invest more in cybersecurity?10本指の方法から fairness / trust / education を抜いた。講師は、意見がばかげていても語と構成で点は出る、と言った。 ★★本人は試験を受けた理由を2夜続けて言った — I'm a comedian.

検死レポート（ノイズ＝直すべき癖）
第129夜。本題 — 物差しの当日、測られたのは英語の外側だった。英検1級の一次(10/4)を受けた日の夜、本人は試験会場から帰って外から入り、当日の出来事を独白した。前夜、本人は外から測る物差しが要ると言った。読解とリスニングは当日の解答速報で自己採点して1問ミス。崩れたのは英語の外側 — 消しゴムと鉛筆を忘れた、前日に100円ショップで買った腕時計が試験中に止まっていた、壁に時計が無い、後ろの席でリスニングが反響した、部屋が暑く脳が焼けた。作文は準備ゼロで、お題 Should governments invest more in cybersecurity? に10本指の方法から fairness / trust / education を当てた。録音に講師の名前は無い。講師は英国で試験を受けた経験とスペイン在住の経験を話し、試験の日付を覚えていた。どの夜の講師かは推定しない。書き起こしは講師の最後の1文の途中で切れている。前夜の宿題 — ①What do you think EXECUTED(分母2)/ ②the death penalty FAILED(分母1)/ ③型の2語 NO_CHANCE。今夜の宿題 — I haven't written / get off the train / nothing at stake。
ネイティブらしくない癖
カンニング・時計のように、日本語の1語をそのまま英語の1語に当てる(cunning / watch) → 和製英語と、日本語で1語・英語で2語に割れる語(時計 = clock / watch)を、話す前に1回疑う
講師が置いた正しい形を Yeah で受けて、拾わない(Should have sat closer → Yeah ×6) → 講師が言い換えたら、その文をそのまま1回言い返してから続ける
講師の語をその場で自分に当てる(waffling → I was waffling)。これは維持する → 初めて聞いた語は、次の自分の文に1回入れる
長い独白の中で、物の名前の前の小さい語(前置詞・冠詞・目的語)が落ちる → 名詞の前の小さい語を、名詞と一緒に1つの音で言う。5分を超えたら1回講師に返す
「懸かっていない」を no stakes と言う(2夜連続) → nothing at stake の3語で固定する
乖離（短いSVOで言い切る練習）
作文の準備をしていない: I haven't written a single essay.
早く着いて駅から歩いた: I got off the train two or three stations early. / I walked the rest of the way.
周りを見たが、カンニングではない: I wasn't cheating, but I looked around. / I was the only one sweating.
腕時計が止まっていた: It was broken, so I couldn't check the time.
壁に時計が無かった: They didn't have a big clock on the wall.
後ろの席を悔やむ: I should have sat closer.
長文が分からなかった: It went completely over my head.
1日あれば書けた: If I'd had a day or a week, I could have come up with perfect reasons.
何も懸かっていない: There's nothing at stake for me.
先生Hello?
解説
★講師の1語目。英検1級の一次が終わった日曜の夜。
生徒Hello. Hey.
解説
★試験会場から帰った日の1語目。本人は2〜3時間の試験を受けたあと、外から入った。
先生How's it going?
解説
★How's it going? — 英国の講師の定番の入り。
盗む
How's it going?
How's it going? = 調子どう?How are you? より軽い。答えは Good / Not bad / Pretty good で足りる。
生徒I'm great. Can you hear me?
解説
★I'm great. — 試験の直後に great と言えた。外からの夜の決まり文句(Can you hear me?)も正しい。
先生Yes. Oh, should I turn my camera off? You're outside, right?
解説
★★講師の側から、カメラを切ろうかと聞いた。You're outside, right? — 本人が外から入るのを、講師は知っている。
盗む
Should I turn my camera off?
Should I ~? = 〜しようか?相手の都合を先に聞く申し出の形。turn ~ off の off は1回(前夜、本人は turn off our camera off と2回言った)。
生徒Yeah, again. And, uh, yes. But, yeah, it it depends, the situations. Sometimes it works, but, uh, yeah, sometimes, mm, it doesn't work, so it's better to be off-camera.
ネイティブなら
It's hit or miss out here.
NEWhit or miss
金具だけYeah, again. It depends on the situation. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't, so it's better to keep the camera off.
解説
☓it depends, the situations → it depends on the situation。depend の後ろは on。場合は1つずつ考えるので単数でいい(It depends on the situation は定型)。
★★Yeah, again — 外から入るのは何夜目か、本人も講師も分かっている。off-camera は正しい。It depends の後ろの on だけが落ちた。
先生It doesn't really Yeah, I'll turn it off, yeah, yeah, just in case. There you go.
解説
★just in case — 念のため。講師は先にカメラを切った。
盗む
I'll turn it off, just in case.
just in case = 念のため。文の最後に置くだけで使える。I'll bring an umbrella, just in case。
生徒Yeah, uh, I I was I was I'm wiped out. I was wrecked. Uh, I took, uh, Eiken exam today.
ネイティブなら
I'm wiped out. I'm wrecked. I took the Eiken exam today.
解説
☓I took Eiken exam → I took THE Eiken exam。試験の名前の前は the(the TOEIC / the Eiken)。I was wrecked は今の状態なので I'm wrecked。
★★★wiped out / wrecked — 疲れを2語で言った。どちらも正しい英語の口語。I was → I'm と自分で現在に直した。今夜の芯の入口 — 今日、英検を受けた。
先生Ah, it was today, was it? Yeah, I remember you saying it was
解説
★★講師は試験の日を覚えていた。I remember you saying it was — 前のレッスンで本人が言った日付を、講師が持っていた。初対面ではない根拠はこの1文。
盗む
Ah, it was today, was it?
付加疑問 — 〜だったよね?英国英語で多い、驚きと確認を同時に出す形。肯定文の後ろに肯定の付加疑問(was it?)を置くと「へえ、そうだったんだ」の響きになる。
生徒Today was a Today's Ju- Judgment Day. Judgment Day. Ah, yeah. And, uh, yeah, I I Terminator 2.
ネイティブなら
Today was Judgment Day.
解説
☓Today was a Today's → Today was。Judgment Day は固有の名前として使うので a も the も要らない。
★★★Judgment Day は前夜の勝ちの再演。前夜、本人は Judgment day is tomorrow と言った。今夜、その日が来た。そして自分で Terminator 2 と付けた(副題が Judgment Day)。
先生Judgment Day.
解説
★講師は Judgment Day を拾って返した。
生徒Terminator 2. (laughter) Yeah, I haven't watched. I I I'm I watched, but, you know, not not the movie, uh, Judgment Day, Terminator 2, Terminator 3, I don't know. Yeah, and, uh, yeah, it's just, you know, kidding. And, yeah, I'm mainly, you know, gonna talk about, uh, my experience today. Maybe, uh, let me, uh, monologue, because so much happening, you know, it's not It's, yeah, I'm over, you know, I I Yeah, um, so, yeah, I took a test today. And, I don't know, my, uh, did I do well? I'm not sure. Um, but, it was very, very long test. Like 2 hours, 3 hours? Long test.
ネイティブなら
It was a marathon.
NEWa marathon
金具だけI haven't actually seen it. I'm going to talk about my day. Let me do a monologue, because so much happened. I took the test today, and I'm not sure if I did well. It was a really long test — two or three hours.
解説
☓so much happening → so much happened。今日のことなので過去形。☓it was very, very long test → it was A very long test。test は数える名詞。☓Like 2 hours, 3 hours? → two or three hours。
★★Terminator 2 の Judgment Day を出しておいて、観ていない、と自分で落とした。I haven't watched は正しい(have + 過去分詞)。let me monologue — 今夜は自分が1人で話す、と最初に宣言した。前夜の講師と違い、今夜は本人が場を取りにいった。
先生Wow.
解説
★Wow.
生徒Yeah, it's very long. And, uh, yeah. So, uh, let me explain, you know, one by one. You know, what happened today. Uh, it's like a monologue kind of, you know, what what happened today to me, and stuff. Is that all right?
ネイティブなら
Let me explain what happened today, one by one. It'll be kind of a monologue. Is that all right?
解説
☓what what happened today to me → what happened to me today。時の語(today)は最後に置く。
★★Is that all right? — 独白の許可を取った。一方的に話す前に1回聞く。正しい順番である。
先生Yeah, yeah. I'm interested to, uh, hear about it.
解説
★★I'm interested to hear about it — 講師は聞き手に回ると決めた。
盗む
I'm interested to hear about it.
be interested to hear = 聞きたい。I'd love to hear about it も同じ場面で使える。
生徒Yeah, usually I respect your opinions, but, you know, also maybe I'd I'll pass, so you you I need you more than before, and I appreciate you more than, you know, uh uh, more than you know. But, uh, today maybe I'm trying to tell uh, story, today's story, what happened today to me. And, yeah, I woke up, uh, not early in the morning, just, uh, yeah. It It was not, you know, uh uh uh Test started like 2:00 p.m. And, it's only about 1 hour ride from my home to the, uh, place. And, yeah, I was a little bit Yeah. Uh, there was enough time for me to prepare, and, uh, you don't have to wake up early morning, and So, yeah. And, uh, it was, uh, mm Today was not, mm, sunny, but not also that chilly. It's a between kind of day. And, uh, I ended up like, uh, getting there early, very early. Like 1 hour, 2 hours early. So, I dropped off the station like 2 or 3 3 stations away, and I decided to walk for the place, you know, to it. Instead of using you know, train, I walked like, uh, half an hour. Not half an hour, 1 1 an hour and a half.
ネイティブなら
I need you more than ever.
NEWmore than ever
金具だけUsually I like hearing your opinions, but today I just want to tell you what happened. I need you more than ever, and I appreciate you more than you know. I didn't have to get up early. The test started at 2 p.m., and it's only about an hour from my place. It wasn't sunny, but it wasn't chilly either — kind of an in-between day. I ended up getting there one or two hours early, so I got off the train two or three stations early and walked. It took about an hour and a half.
解説
☓I dropped off the station → I GOT OFF the train / at the station。drop off は「(人を車から)降ろす」。自分で電車を降りるのは get off。☓like 2:00 p.m. → at 2 p.m.。時刻は at。☓It's a between kind of day → an in-between day。☓not also that chilly → not chilly either。否定で「〜も」は either。☓walk for the place → walk to the place。
★★★I appreciate you more than you know — 今夜いちばん正しい礼の1文。この番組の最古の持病は感謝の文の前の be(I'm appreciate)だった。今夜は I appreciate の3語で始まった。★★そして試験の日の朝の話。午後2時開始、家から1時間。早く着きすぎて、2〜3駅手前で降りて歩いた。☓dropped off the station — 自分で自分を駅で降ろした。歩いた時間は half an hour → an hour and a half と、話しながら3倍に伸びた。
豆知識
英検の一次試験は、本会場(全国の大学や高校など)では午後から始まることが多い。1級は筆記(リーディング+ライティング)100分のあと、リスニング約35分。
先生Mm-hmm.
解説
★相づち。講師は独白を止めない。
生徒Because I like walking, and I listened to my, uh, English, you know, test prep uh, audio, so it it was nice condition. But, uh, sometimes it was very hot. And, uh, it was, yeah, not I a little bit sweat a lot. (laughter) But, uh, you know, it's a good exercise. It's like a It's a warming up, you know. You don't need a warming up before the (laughter) exam. You know, it's it's not about boxing. But still, uh, it you know, it was a good exercise. Get the blood circulation going, you know, and adrenaline going. And, uh, yeah, it was a good exercise. And, uh, yeah, I So, it's funny thing is, um, so, I I'm notorious for, uh, (laughter) I'm I'm kind of oblivious guy in a way, in a in a good way. Meaning, I forget to prepare things, and, uh, but it unfortunate unfortunately, I noticed. Before before I entering the exam place, and I didn't I I noticed, "Wow, I forgot, uh uh uh, eraser." You know what I mean? Pencils, eraser, kind of basic, you know what I mean, stuff. (laughter) And, I thought, uh, there and I I got, uh, you know, eraser, some kind of pencil or you know you know what I mean, pencils. But, uh, I I forgot to buy, I I Yeah, well. And, uh, ah, but it was good fortune. I realized before int- entering the exam place. And, uh, yeah, I I went to the convenience store to buy that. Uh, it fortunately nearby, and there's a really, you know, 5 minutes near, you know, uh, two convenience store, and bought it, you know, "Okay. Oh, uh, I was lucky. Uh, I have a, you know, luck." And So, and, yeah. And, uh, I didn't expect this, but, uh, I was I'm getting a little bit little bit nervous, because, you know, it's it's a it's it's a test. So, like atmos- atmosphere is kind of very different. You know, it's not easygoing kind of atmosphere. So, everybody's a little bit nervous. You know, I there's no stakes for me, but, uh, I I already said, uh, it's rather, uh, I'd rather, you know, pass than flunk. So, and, uh, I didn't, you know, I haven't, uh, it's this is the funniest thing, because I, you know, I'm kind of a bit lazy guy, so I didn't know before the the test hap-, you know, 1 hour 1 1 hour before the test, I searched how much longer like, uh, you know, test's (laughter) You know, how much longer. I didn't know. I I I haven't already checked, e- even checked what a length length of that, you know, exam time. And, uh, it states like 100 minutes for writing and reading, and, uh, yeah. And, also, 38 minutes for listening. And, yeah, it's gonna be a long ride. And, yeah, I went there, and, uh,
ネイティブなら
Talk about cutting it close.
NEWcutting it close
金具だけI like walking, and I listened to my test prep audio on the way, so it was nice. But it got hot, and I sweated a lot. It was good exercise, though — like a warm-up. Not that you need a warm-up before an exam. It's not boxing. I'm kind of oblivious — in a good way. I forget to prepare things. Right before I went in, I realized I'd forgotten an eraser and pencils. Luckily, there were two convenience stores five minutes away. There's nothing at stake for me, but I'd still rather pass than flunk. I didn't even check how long the test was until an hour before.
解説
☓a warming up → a warm-up。名詞は warm-up。☓I'm kind of oblivious guy → I'm kind of AN oblivious guy / I'm kind of oblivious。☓Before I entering → Before I went in / Before entering。☓there's no stakes for me → there's nothing at stake for me。stakes は複数で「懸かっているもの」。☓I haven't already checked → I hadn't even checked。
★★★ボケは自分で先に言っていた — You don't need a warming up before the exam. It's not about boxing.試験前に1時間半歩いて汗だく、をボクサーの計量のように笑いにした。★get the blood circulation going / adrenaline going — 正しい句動詞の型(get ~ going)。I'm notorious for / oblivious も当たり。☓kind of oblivious guy — ___ guy の前の a がまた落ちた(第79夜からの定番)。☓no stakes は前夜に続いて2夜連続。試験の長さを1時間前に調べた、は事実として本人の芸風。

ネイティブなら
Yeah, like I said. That's why I'm so wiped out right now. I'm knackered. It's probably about the same length as a Cambridge exam.

You know, it's because, well, I didn't I I haven't gone through like whole process of like 100 minutes. I kind of did, uh, preparation here and there, and, uh, you know, I didn't go through entire minutes because I'm lazy. You know, I and I haven't wrote any single like uh, uh, writing. (laughter) You know what I mean? So, uh, but but I confidently say maybe I will pass because my, uh, uh, listening and reading, you know, I, yeah, I reviewed, you know. There's a answer somewhere. Like a some, you know, very knowle- knowledgeable or like native people, I don't know why they take the, uh, Eik- Eiken exam.

Still, I'm pretty confident I'll pass, because I checked the answers online. Some teachers took the same test and posted the answers. I'm a word nerd, so I got a perfect score on the vocab. I only missed one question overall. The room was really hot. Only 20 or 30 people, but it was boiling, and I was nervous too. My brain was fried. Your brain needs to stay cool, and the heat doesn't do you any good.
