日本語字幕を活用して、セリフの意味を押さえます。
「英語字幕」だけで意味を取れるか確認
英語字幕を読んで意味が理解できるか確認する。いわゆる多読を行います。
「字幕なし」で意味が取れるか確認
字幕なしの状態で、頭の中で英文を再現、意味が取れるか確認する。
あとは、英語字幕を出しながら音声に合わせて音読する「オーバーラッピング」、字幕なしの状態での「シャドーイング」、「ディクテーション」、自分でも使えそうなセリフ、使いたいセリフを選んで、暗記アプリに取り込み「瞬間英作文練習をする」など様々な学習が可能です。

COUNTESS. Oh, and your slippers. [She goes to fetch them from beside the bed as Ann looks out with pleasure at the dancing going on far below in the distance] Please put on your slippers and come away at the window. [Ann walks back to the bed, dejected, as the Countess shuts the window.]
まあ、スリッパを。スリッパをお履きになって、窓から離れてくださいませ。

大丈夫ですよ。こぼれてません。
ANN. I don't care if it's spilled or not. I don't care if I [throws her head into the pillow] drown in it!
こぼれても、こぼれなくても、そんなことどうだっていい。その中で私が溺れ死んだって構うもんですか!
COUNTESS [putting her hands on her shoulders to comfort her] My dear, you're ill. I'll send for Doctor Bonnachoven.

I think you better sit up; much too young to get picked up by the police. 起きた方がいいと思うよ。警察に捕まるには若すぎるだろ。 ANN [as he straightens her] Police? 警察? JOE. Yep, po-lice. そう、警察だよ。 ANN.

“Do you know that poem?”（その詩をご存知？）
JOE. You know: people who can't handle liquor shouldn't drink it.
いいか、酒に飲まれる人は飲むべきじゃない。
ANN. If I were dead and buried and I heard your voice beneath the sod my heart of dust would still rejoice. Do you know that poem?
われ死して埋められるとも、君が声を聞かば、葬られし塵なるわが心も、なお歓喜にむせぶ。この詩をご存じ?
JOE. Huh, what do you know? [Sitting down] You're well-read, well-dressed; you're snoozing away in a public street. Would you care to make a statement?

“Will you help me get undressed, please?”（私が服を脱ぐのを手伝ってくださいますか？）
JOE. I oughta have my head examined. [He shuts the door behind her].
頭を調べてもらわないといけないな。
ANN. Is this the elevator?
これエレベーター?
JOE [offended] It’s my room.
僕の部屋だよ!
ANN I’m terribly sorry to mention it, but the dizziness is getting worse. [Looking around] Can I sleep here?
このようなことを言って大変申し訳ないのですが、めまいがひどくなってまいりました。ここで眠ってもよろしいですか?
JOE. That’s the general idea. [He walks over and opens a wardrobe on the landing next to the front door].
そう考えるのが普通だな。
ANN [poetically] Can I have a silk nightgown with rosebuds on it?
バラのつぼみがついた絹のナイトガウンをいただけます?
JOE I’m afraid you’ll have to rough it tonight-in these.
申し訳ないが、今夜は我慢してもらおう。これでね。
ANN. Pyjamas!
パジャマだわ。
JOE. Sorry, honey, but I haven’t worn a nightgown in years.
残念だが、君、僕はここ何年もの間、ナイトガウンは着たことがないのでね。
ANN. Will you help me get undressed, please?
服を脱ぐのを手伝っていただけます?

ANN [just putting down her last glove] May I have some?
私にもいただけます?
JOE [firmly] No.
ダメだ!
I’ve never been alone with a man before.（私はこれまで男の人と二人きりになったことはありません。）
Joe. Now look-.
ちょっと、いいかね!
ANN. This is very unusual. I’ve never been alone with a man before, even with my dress on. With my dress off it’s most unusual. I don’t seem to mind. Do you?
これはとても珍しいことです。私はこれまで男の人と2人きりになったことはありません。服を着た状態でさえ。服を脱いだ状態では、極めて異例のことです。私は構いませんけど、あなたは?
JOE. I think I’ll go out for a cup of coffee.
僕は外でコーヒーを飲んでくる。
ANN Hm.
JOE You’d better get to sleep. Oh, no, no; on this one.
君は寝た方がいい。おっと、ダメ、ダメ、こっちだ。
ANN How terribly nice.
本当にご親切ね。
JOE. Hey, hey: these are pyjamas; they’re to sleep in; you’re to climb into them, you understand?
ちょっと、こっちへ。これがパジャマ、着て寝るためのもの。君はこれを着るんだ、分かったね?
ANN Thank you.
ありがとう。
JOE. And you do your sleeping on the couch, see?-not on the bed, not on the chair: on the couch; is that clear?
それから君が寝るのは長椅子だ、いいね? ベッドでも、椅子でもなくて、長椅子だ。分かったかな?
ANN. Do you know my favorite poem?
私の好きな詩をご存じ?
JOE. Ah, you already recited that for me.
それならもう僕に暗唱してくれたよ。
ANN I refuse a* rose from a couch of snows in the Aquasaromian* Mountains. Keats.

ANN. Keats!
JOE. If you just keep your mind off the poetry and on the pyjamas, everything’ll be alright; see?
ANN. It’s Keats.
JOE. I’ll be- it’s Shelley. I’ll be back in about ten minutes.
ANN Keats. You have my permission to withdraw.
JOE Thank you very much.
“This must be classified as top crisis secret.”（これは最高機密として取り扱われるべきものだ。）
AMBASSADOR. Well?
SERVANT. No trace, Your Excellency.
AMBASSADOR. Have you searched the grounds?
SERVANT. Every inch, Sir, from the attics to the cellar.
AMBASSADOR. I must put you on your honor not to speak of this to anyone. I must remind you that the Princess is the direct heir to the throne. This must be classified as top-crisis secret. Have I your pledge?
SERVANT. Yes, Sir.
AMBASSADOR. Very well. [The man turns and marches out. He turnsto the other two]. Now we must notify Their Majesties. The General looks up at him, worried; the Countess looks up at the General, standing, and turning to the Ambassador who looks at them, waiting for an affirmation. Receiving none, he stands up himself and walks from behind the desk.
“Holy smoke, the princess interview!”（しまった、王女のインタビューが！）
JOE Holy smoke, the Princess interview-[Ann stirs, half-asleep,with a questioning “hmmm?”]
eleven forty-five. [Ann makes annoyed noises as she buries herself back into the pillow] Oh, shut up.
Joe jumps up, pulling the curtain back to see outside. He rushes to the wardrobe but stops, going through his clothes laid over the chair, retrieving a piece of paper. He puts it back as goes back to the wardrobe to get his clothes.
Outside the window of an American News Service office. Mr.Hennessy comes to the window, looking down onto the street several stories down to see Joe getting out of a taxi, hurriedly paying the driver.
NEWSMAN. Hi, Joe.
SECRETARY. Good morning, Joe.
JOE. Hello, honey. [He goes over to the secretary, borrowing a drink of her coffee as she holds it].
SECRETARY. Mr. Hennessy has been looking for you.
JOE. Uh-oh. [He takes some bread from her desk, ripping off a piece and giving it to her, keeping the rest] Thanks a lot, hon.
[He knocks on the door behind the secretary].
HENNESSY [from inside, angrily] Come in.
“Well sure, I just got back.”（ええ、もちろん。私は今戻ったところです。）
JOE [taking a mouthful as he shuts the door behind him; walking to Hennessy’s desk] You’ve been looking for me?
HENNESSY. Just coming to work?
JOE [innocently] Who, me?
HENNESSY. We start our days at eight-thirty in this office; we pick up our assignments-.
JOE. I picked up mine last night.
HENNESSY. What assignment was that?
JOE. The Princess, eleven forty-five.
HENNESSY [mouth open] You’ve already been to the interview?
JOE. Well, sure; I just got back. [Taking another mouthful].
HENNESSY. Well, well, well; all my apologies.
JOE [turning to leave] ‘S alright.
HENNESSY [stopping him] Er, this is very interesting.
JOE [trying to get away again] Nah, just routine.
HENNESSY. Tell me, tell me: did she answer all the questions on the list?
JOE. Well, of course she did. [Rummaging through his pockets] I’ve got ’em right here, somewhere.
HENNESSY. Er, don’t disturb yourself; I have a copy here. [Looking at the piece of paper] How did Her Highness react to the idea of a European Federation?
JOE. She thought it was just fine.
HENNESSY. She did?
JOE [seeing the need to flesh it out, leaning against the desk in thought] Well, she thought that there’d be…two effects.
HENNESSY. Two.
JOE. The er, direct and the…indirect.
HENNESSY. Oh, remarkable.
JOE. Naturally she thought that the indirect would not be as…direct…as the direct. That is, not right away. Later on, of course, well, nobody knows.
HENNESSY. Well, well, well; that was a shrewd observation! They fool you you know, these royal kids; they’ve got a lot more on the ball than we suspect. [Looking at the paper again] How did she feel about the future friendship of nations?
JOE. Youth.
HENNESSY. Yep?
JOE. She felt that, er [nervously walking around the desk, sitting on the corner], the youth of the world must lead the way to a better…[he nervously slides a piece of Hennessy’s desk equipment a few inches] world.
HENNESSY. Hmm-hmm, [sliding it back] original. Er, by the way, what was she wearing?
JOE [he pauses blankly] Oh, you mean what did she have on?
HENNESSY [chuckling] Well, that’s usually what it means. [Joe nervously adjusts his collar, getting up off the desk again] Er, what’s the matter, is it a little warm in here for you?
JOE [walking back to the front of the desk] No, no, I just hurried over here.
HENNESSY. Oh, naturally, with a story of these dimensions. Did you say she was wearing gray?
JOE. No, I didn’t say that.
HENNESSY. Well, she usually wears gray.
JOE. Oh well, er, it was a…kind of a gray.
HENNESSY. Oh, I think I know the dress you mean; it has a gold collar-.
JOE. That’s the one, that’s the one (HENNESSY [smiling, sitting back in agreement] That’s it.) Yeah, I didn’t know exactly how to describe it but that’s it, yeah.
HENNESSY. I think you described it very well. [His expression changes as he sits forward, standing up dramatically]-In view of the fact that Her Highness was taken violently ill at three o’clock this morning, put to bed with a high fever, and has had all her appointments for today cancelled en toto!
JOE [helplessly] En toto?
HENNESSY. Yes, Mr. Bradley: en toto.
Is this the princess?（これが王女ですか？）
JOE. That’s certainly pretty hard to swallow.
HENNESSY. In view of the fact that you just left her, of course. But here it is, Mr. Bradley : all over the front page of every newspaper in Rome!
JOE. Alright, alright; I overslept. It can happen to anybody!
HENNESSY. If you ever get up early enough to read a morning paper you might discover little news events -little items of general interest that might prevent you in the future from getting immersed in such a gold-plated, triple-decked, star-spangled lies as you have just told me! If I was you, I would try some other line of business-like mattress testing.
JOE. Is this the Princess?
HENNESSY. Yes, Mr. Bradley, [pointing to the picture] that is the Princess. It isn’t Annie Oakley, Dorothy Lamour, or Madame Chiang Kai-Shek. Take a good look at her [Joe closes his eyes in disbelief]: you might be interviewing her again some day!
JOE. Am I fired?
HENNESSY. No, you’re not fired. When I wanna fire you you won’t have to ask! [Joe looks back and forth and walks straight out of the office, carrying the paper]-you’ll know you’re fired! [Joe walks to the other end of the newsroom, stopping. Shaking his head, seeing that Joe has left the office] The man’s mad.
JOE. Giovanni, it’s Joe Bradley. Now, listen carefully: I want you to hurry up to my place and see if there’s somebody there…asleep.
GIOVANNI [amused] A-ha! Say, Mr. Joe: I look; [some Italian] you wait. [Some Italian]. [He walks to the door as Joe looks back and forth, impatiently. A few moments later Giovanni walks back to his desk, smiling. He sits down] Mr. Joe?
JOE [almost shouting] Yeah! [Repeating, quietly] Er, yeah, yeah, yeah, tell me, tell me!
GIOVANNI. Bellisimo.
JOE [he looks up, very relieved] Giovanni: I love you. Now, listen…
GIOVANNI. Yes, Mr. Joe. A gun? No!
JOE. Yes, a gun, a knife-anything! But nobody goes in and nobody goes out! Capito?
GIOVANNI. Ok.
The private and secret longings of a princess.（王女の個人的な密かな憧れ）
HENNESSY. You still here?
JOE. How much would a real interview with this dame be worth?
HENNESSY. Are you referring to Her Highness?
JOE. I’m not referring to Annie (& HENNESSY [repeating his words, overtaking him] Oakley, Dorothy Lamour, or Madame….)-How much?
HENNESSY. What do you care? you’ve got about as much chance of getting-.
JOE. I know, but if I did, how much would it be worth?
HENNESSY. Oh, just a plain talk about world conditions, it might be worth two hundred and fifty. Her views on clothes of course would be worth a lot more-maybe a thousand.
JOE. Dollars?
HENNESSY. Dollars.
JOE. I’m talking about her views on everything: ‘The Private and Secret Longings of a Princess’; her innermost thoughts as revealed to your own correspondent in a private, personal, exclusive interview. Can’t use it, huh? I didn’t think you’d like it.
HENNESSY. Come here! Love angle too, I suppose?
JOE. Practically all love angle.
HENNESSY. With pictures.
JOE [pausing, thinking] Could be. How much?
HENNESSY. That particular story would be worth five grand to any news service. But, er, tell me Mr. Bradley-if you are sober-just how are you going to obtain this fantastic interview?
JOE [confidentially] I plan to enter her sick room disguised as a thermometer. You said five grand? I want you to [presents his hand] shake on that. [Hennessy shakes his hand].
HENNESSY [as Joe rushes off to the door impatiently, stopping him] Ah, you realise, of course, Her Highness is in bed today and leaves for Athens tomorrow.
JOE. Yep.
HENNESSY. Ah, now I’d like to make a little side-bet with you: five hundred says you don’t come up with the story. [Joe takes out the paper, unfolding it and taking a good look at the front page again] What are you lookin’ at that for?
JOE. Oh, I just wanna see what time it is.
HENNESSY. Huh?
JOE. Er, what day it is, er- It’s a deal!
HENNESSY. Now I’d like you to shake. Now, let’s see, you’re into me for about five hundred; when you lose this bet you’ll owe me a thousand. [Laughing] Why, you poor sucker, I’ll practically own you!
JOE. You have practically owned me for a couple of years now, but that’s all over. I’m gonna win that money and with it I’m gonna buy me a one way ticket back to New York!
HENNESSY. Go on, go on-I’ll love to hear you whine!
JOE. And when I’m in a real newsroom I’ll enjoy thinking about you, sitting here with an empty leash in your hands and nobody to twitch for you!
HENNESSY So long, Pigeon.
How would you like to make some money?（金儲けをしたくないか？）
JOE. Everything ok, Giovanni?
GIOVANNI. er, nobody is come, nobody is go; absolutely nobody.
JOE. Swell! thanks a lot. Oh er, Giovanni, er… How would you like to make some money?
GIOVANNI. Money?
JOE. Yeah. That’s the stuff. Now look, I’ve got a sure thing: double your money back in two days.
GIOVANNI. Double my money?
JOE. Yeah well, I need a little investment capital to swing the deal. Now, if you’ll just lend me a little cash, I-.
GIOVANNI [says some Italian]. You owing me tomorrow’s rent (JOE. I know, I know, I know.) and you want me to lend you money? (JOE. Yeah.) No, no!
JOE. Tomorrow, you’ll be sorry!
“I dreamt and I dreamt…”（私、夢ばかり見て…）
ANN [stirring slightly] Dear Doctor Bonnachoven.
JOE [not sure what to do] Hmm? [Playing along, not wanting to disturb her] Oh, oh, sure, yes. Well, er…er, you’re fine; much better. Is there anything you want?
ANN. Hmm? So many things.
JOE. Yes? well tell the doctor (ANN. So many-). Tell the good doctor everything.
ANN [without opening her eyes, stirring in the bed, spreading her arm] Mmmmm, I dreamt and I dreamt…
JOE. Yes? Well, er, what did you dream? [Holding her wrist as a doctor might].
ANN. I dreamt I was asleep on the street and… young man came and he was tall and strong and-[screwing her face up] he was so mean to me.
JOE. He was? [He lets her arm down].
ANN. Mmmm. [Blissfully; putting her arm over her eyes] It was wonderful. She opens her arms, stretching a little. Lying face-up, not quite awake yet, she looks at the ceiling, seeing the plumbing visible in the corner-quite different to the ornamentation of the Embassy bedchamber. Then she looks at Joe standing over her. She closes her eyes, smiling, then opens them again, her expression becoming severe as she stares at him.
JOE [cheerfully] Good morning.
ANN [she starts; in a low, worried tone] Where’s Doctor Bonnachoven?
I’ve spent the night here with you?（私はここであなたと一夜を過ごしたわけですか？）
JOE [unbothered] Er, I’m afraid I don’t know anybody by that name.
ANN [puzzled] Wasn’t I talking to him just now?
JOE. ‘Fraid not.
ANN [suddenly frightened; feeling herself beneath the sheets] Have- have I had an accident?
JOE. No.
ANN [reassured] Quite safe for me to sit up, huh?
JOE. Yeah, [bending down to her] perfect [he lifts her pillow back and helps her sit up, leaning against it. She looks at him all the while, not fully trusting of him]. Joe leans against the cupboard at the foot of the bed.
ANN. Thank you [he smiles back. She looks down at her pyjamas then to Joe] Are these yours? He nods. Ann, suddenly panicked, feels under the sheets for her pyjama bottoms.
JOE. Er, did- did you lose something?
ANN [smiling, relieved] No. No. [Politely, suppressing her anxiety] W-would you be so kind as tell me w-where I am?
JOE. Well, this is what is laughingly known as my apartment.
ANN [concerned; rising suddenly] Did you bring me here by force?
JOE. No, no, no… [smiling] quite the contrary.
ANN. Have I been here all night…alone?
JOE [smiling] If you don’t count me, yes.
ANN [seriously] So I’ve spent the night here-with you.
JOE [hurrying to reassure her] Oh, well, now, I- I don’t know if I’d use those words exactly, but er, from a certain angle, yes.
Ann looks down, thinking. After a moment, reassured that everything is alright afterall, laughs.
ANN [presenting her hand] How do you do?
JOE [shaking her hand] How do you do?
ANN. And you are?
JOE. Bradley, Joe Bradley.
ANN. Delighted.
JOE. You don’t know how delighted I am to meet you.
ANN [gesturing to the chair to her left] You may sit down.
JOE. Well, thank you very much [he sits down on the bed instead;
You may call me Anya.（アーニャと呼んでいいわ。）
JOE. What’s your name?
ANN Er…you may call me Anya.
JOE. Thank you, Anya. Would you like a cup of coffee?
ANN. What time is it?
JOE. Oh, about one thirty.
ANN One thirty! I must get dressed and go!
JOE Why? what’s your hurry?-there’s lots of time.
ANN. Oh no, there isn’t and I’ve- I’ve been quite enough trouble to you as it is.
JOE. Trouble? You’re not what I’d call trouble.
ANN I’m not?
JOE I’ll run a bath for you. There you are.
It’s front-page stuff.（一面記事のネタだ）
IRVING. Here we go now. There you are; that does it. Oh. Gimme a little slack, will ya? Pronto?ｚ
JOE. Irving! why won’t you answer the phone? Look, this is Joe. Irving: can you get over here in about five minutes?
IRVING. Oh no, I can’t come now, Joe; I’m busy. Oh no- Joe: I’m up to my ears in work. Go on, get into your next outfit, will you, Honey?-the canoe. What kind of a scoop, Joe?
JOE. Look, Irving, I can’t talk over the telephone; one word in the wrong quarter and this whole thing might blow sky-high. It’s front page stuff, that’s all I can tell you. It might be political ro it might be a sensational scandal-I’m not sure which, but it’s a big story and it’s got to have pictures!
IRVING. But I can’t come now, Joe; I’m busy. I’m busy now and I’m meeting Francesca at Rocca’s in a half an hour and-.
I only waited to say goodbye.（お別れを言うために待っていただけなの。）
JOE. There you are!
ANN. I was looking at all the people out here. It must be fun to live in a place like this.
JOE. Yeah, it has its moments. I can give you a running commentary on each apartment.
ANN. I must go.
JOE. Hmm?
ANN. I only waited to say goodbye.
JOE. Goodbye?-But we’ve only just met. How about some breakfast?
ANN. I’m sorry, I haven’t time.
JOE. Must be a pretty important date to run off without eating.
ANN. It is.
JOE. Well, I’ll go along with you, wherever you are going.
ANN. That’s alright, thank you; I can find the place. Thank you for letting me sleep in your bed.
JOE. Oh, that’s alright; think nothing of it.
ANN. It was very considerate of you- you must have been awfully uncomfortable on that couch.
JOE. No, no-do it all the time.
ANN. Goodbye, Mr. Bradley.
JOE. Goodbye. Oh: go right through there and down all the steps. She walks down the stairs and he goes back inside and shuts the door, walking out to the balcony again.
Can you lend me some money?（お金を貸していただけます？）
JOE. Well, small world.
ANN. Yes- I- I almost forgot: can you lend me some money?
JOE. Oh, yeah; that’s right, you didn’t have any last night did you?
ANN. Mmm.
JOE. How much- how much was it that you wanted?
ANN. Well, I don’t know how much I need. How much have you got?
JOE. Well, er, suppose we just split this fifty-fifty: here’s a thousand lira.
ANN. A thousand?! Can you really spare all that?
JOE. It’s about a dollar and a half.
ANN. Oh… Well, I- I’ll arrange for it to be sent back to you. What is your address?
JOE. Er, Villa Marguta, fifty-one.
ANN. Villa Marguta, fifty-one. Joe Bradley. Goodbye; thank you.
GIOVANNI. Ah, double my money, eh? You tell me you want double my money that way? Eh, tomorrow.
It’s just what I wanted.（こういう髪にしたかったの。）
JOE. That’s a nice little camera you have there. Ah, it’s nice. Mmmm. Er, you don’t mind if I just borrow it, do you?
SCHOOLGIRL 1 Miss Weber!
JOE. I’ll give it back… just for a couple of minutes.
SCHOOLGIRL 2 No. Go, it’s my camera.
MARIO DELANI. You musician, maybe? You artist, aha? Painter…? I know: you model! Model, hah?
ANN. Thank you.
MARIO DELANI. Finito. It’s perfect.
ANN. Oh.
MARIO DELANI Y-y-you be nice without long hair. Now, it’s cool, hmm? Cool?
ANN Yes, it’s, it’s just what I wanted.
MARIO DELANI. Grazzi. Now, why you not come dancing tonight with me? You should see, it’s so nice: it’s on a boat on the Tibérine, Tiber-the river by Saint Angelo- moonlight, music, romantico! It’s very, very… very. Please, you come?
ANN. I wish I could.
MARIO DELANI Oh. But, but, your friend: I think they not recognise you.
ANN. No, I don’t think they will!
MARIO DELANI. Oh, thank you very much.
ANN. Thank you.
MARIO DELANI Ah, er, senorina. After nine o’clock, I’ll be there. Dancing on river-remember: Saint Angelo. If you come, you will me most pretty of all girl!
ANN Thank you. Goodbye.
MARIO DELANI Goodbye.
I’d like to do just whatever I liked.（何でも自分がやりたいと思ったことをやってみたいんです。）
JOE: Well, it’s you!
ANN: Yes, Mr. Bradley.
JOE: Or is it?
ANN: Do you like it?
JOE: Very much.
JOE: So that was your mysterious appointment.
ANN : Mr. Bradley, I have a confession to make.
JOE: A confession?
ANN: Yes, I ran away last night…from school.
JOE : Oh, what was the matter? Trouble with the teacher?
ANN: No, nothing like that.
JOE: Well, you don’t just run away from school for nothing.
ANN: Well, I only meant it to be for an hour or two. They gave me something last night to make me sleep.
JOE: Oh, I see.
ANN: Now, I’d better get a taxi and go back.
JOE: Well, look, before you do, why don’t you take a little time for yourself?
ANN: Maybe another hour.
JOE: Live dangerously, take the whole day.
ANN: I could do some of the things I’ve always wanted to.
JOE: Like what?
ANN: Oh, you can’t imagine. I’d… I’d like to do just whatever I liked, the whole day long.
JOE: You mean things like having your hair cut and eating gelati?
ANN: Yes, and I’d…I’d like to sit at a sidewalk cafe, and look in shop windows, walk in the rain. Have fun, and maybe some excitement.
ANN: It doesn’t seem much to you, does it?
JOE : It’s great. Tell you what. Why don’t we do all those things… together?
ANN: But don’t you have to work?
JOE: Work? No. Today is gonna be a holiday.
ANN: But you don’t want to do a lot of silly things.
JOE: Don’t I? First wish, one sidewalk cafe. Comin’ right up. I know just the place, Rocca’s.
Only on special occasions.（特別な時だけです）
What is a ringer?（うり二つって何ですか？）
Oh, yes, let’s just go.（そう、じゃあ、出かけましょう）
You beast, it was not perfectly all right!（ひどい人ね、全く大丈夫だったじゃないの！）
Couldn’t we go over tonight?（今夜、行ってみない？）
I think you are a ringer.（私、あなたはうり二つだと思います。）
The princess and the barber?（王女と理髪師か？）
Hit him again, Smitty!（やつをもう一度殴ってくれ、スミティ！）
You weren’t so bad yourself.（あなたもなかなかだったわ。）
No, please. Nothing.（いえ、お願い。何も。）
I don’t know how to say goodbye.（お別れに何と言ったらいいか分からない。）
I was indisposed. I am better.（私は病気にかかりましたが、治りました。）
I have no story.（記事はありません。）
I can’t prevent you from selling the pictures.（僕には君がそれらの写真を売ることを止めることはできない。）
Rome.By all means,Rome.（ローマです。なんといってもローマです。）

英語学習に映画を活用するメリット
英語学習に映画を利用するのは、
次の点で非常に効率的です。
・好きな映画を選択することで、英語学習自体が楽しくなる。
・記憶力に頼らず、１つ１つの言葉が状況や映像と共に印象的に残るので覚えやすい。
・実際の会話を利用するので、学習は限りなく実践的になる。
他にも上げればキリがないのですが、
素材としては非常に優れたものですので、
積極的に活用していきたいですね。
英会話を学ぶ観点からは、日本語でのセリフを見て、
英語でどういう表現をされたのか映像と紐づけて覚えると、
忘れにくくなり効率が良くなります。
具体的な学習方法については、
海外ドラマを使った英語学習のやり方 ～英語を話せるようになるための実践的活用法～
をご覧ください。
英語学習用の映画の素材を選ぶときの留意点
ローマの休日に限らず、
自分が好きな映画を選んで英会話学習に
どんどん活用していきましょう。
映画を選ぶに当たっては、ＤＶＤ、ブルーレイ、
ストリーミングサービス等がありますが、
留意点があります。
それは、英語の音声と英語字幕が一致していることです。
実際にＤＶＤを購入してから気づくこともあったのですが、
話されているセリフと英語字幕に乖離があることがあります。
これは、字幕がクローズドキャプションではないことが原因です。
クローズドキャプションは
聴覚障害者に伝えるために文字情報として表示する技術です。
ＣＣ字幕とも呼ばれていますが、
セリフを一言一句たがわずに表示するもので、
効果音すら字幕で出てきます（鳥の声、音楽、ため息など）。
英語学習という観点からは、
ＣＣ字幕で表示されないと学習効率が落ちます。
なぜなら、英語音声を正確に聞き取れたか
確認ができないからです。
なので、ＤＶＤやブルーレイを購入する際は、
クローズドキャプションで英語字幕が表示されるか
確認を行うようにしましょう。
