フィリピン留学準備 - 「In-flight Safety Video」でリスニング勉強

December 31, 2019

私はたまに YouTube で「In-flight Safety Video」を見ます。飛行機の離陸前に流れるあのビデオです。気晴らしに見ているだけなのですが、もしかしたらリスニングの勉強にもなるのかもしれないと思い、おすすめ３点をまとめてみます。

• シンガポール航空（Singapore Airlines）
• 全日本空輸（All Nippon Airways）
• アメリカン航空（American Airlines）

各社ともに凝ったビデオを作っていますが、私の一番のお気に入りはシンガポール航空です。

ただし、シンガポールの英語はシングリッシュと呼ばれるように若干クセがあります。また、ベースはイギリス英語です。イギリス英語とアメリカ英語では発音が微妙に異なるほか、使用する語彙もわずかに異なります。例えば、荷物のことをアメリカ英語では「baggage」と言うことが多いのに対し、イギリス英語では「luggage」と言うことが多く、実際にシンガポール航空のビデオの中では「luggage」が使われています。

全日空のビデオの英語はとても聞き取り易く、かつ日本語の説明のあとに英語の説明が入りますので、さながらリスニング教材のように活用できるかもしれません。日本の英語はもちろんアメリカ英語です。

（今回のビデオとは関係ないですが）日本人の話す英語はネイティブからするとやはりクセを感じるようで、一部ではジャパングリッシュと呼ばれていたりもします。

リスニング的にはアメリカン航空のビデオが一番難しいですね。私にはまだ聞き取ることができません…。さらっと聞き取ることができるようになりたいです。

以下は、３社のセーフティビデオと、説明されている内容をそのまま書き出したものです。なおビデオ内で説明されているテーマごとに区切りを入れました。

ぜひご覧ください。

Welcome #

Welcome on board Singapore Airlines. As the safety equipment on this aircraft may differ from that on other aircraft please give us your attention as we bring you through this important safety briefing and on a journey through Singapore.

Table, Seat and Luggage #

During take-off and landing ensure that your tray table is stowed away. Put the back of your seat upright. And keep your shoes on. Before we take off stow your luggage under the seat in front of you or in the overhead compartments.

Seat Belt #

Make sure that your seat belt is securely fastened during taxi, take-off, and landing. To fasten, bring the two ends of the seat belt together until you hear a click. Tighten it by pulling on the strap. To unfasten, lift the metal flap. We recommend keeping your seat belt fastened throughout the flight. Whenever the seat belt sign is turned on infants should be lifted from the bassinet and secured with an infant seat belt.

Oxygen Mask #

If there is a change in cabin pressure an oxygen mask will automatically drop in front of you. Pull the mask down sharply. Place it over your mouth and nose pull the lateral straps to tighten it and breathe as usual. Secure your mask first before helping others. It is normal for the bag to not fully inflate.

Emergency Exits #

There are several emergency exits in the aircraft. Take a few moment now to locate your nearest exit which may be behind you. Count the rows of seats to the closest exit in front and behind you.

In the unlikely event of an emergency or when you hear the command ‘Brace, Brace’ assume the brace position. If you can reach the seat in front of you lower your head and place it on the back of the front seat. Place your hands on the top of your head. Keep your feet flat on the floor and heels towards your seat. If you can’t reach the seat in front of you lower your head and lean forward as far as you can. Place your hands on top of your head. In an emergency evacuation floor-level lighting will lead you to your nearest exit.

Slide and Life Vest #

Before using an evacuation slide remove any high-heeled shoes and be sure to leave everything behind. To put on your life vest remove it from the plastic cover and slip it over your head. Pass the straps around your waist connect the clip, and pull to tighten. Inflate the life vest by pulling the red tabs or blowing into the mouthpiece. Life vests have a whistle and a light to attract attention. Special life vests are available for children. Inflate your life vest only at the exit door and step into the raft. Life vests are located under or between your seats.

Electronic Devices #

All large electronic devices such as laptops must be stowed for taxi, take-off, and landing. Lightweight electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets must be switched off or set to flight mode. During these times charging your electronic device is also not allowed. If you’re not using your device it must be held in your hand or placed in the seat pocket in front of you. If your device drops into the gap between the seats refrain from adjusting the seat and ask the cabin crew for assistance.

We remind you that this is a non-smoking flight. Smoking, including the charging and use of e-cigarettes, is prohibited throughout the aircraft, including the lavatories.

感想 #

（話が大きくズレてしまい恐縮ですが）冒頭で日本の英語をジャパングリッシュと書きましたが、ジャパングリッシュをネタにこんな動画が作られていたりします。

東京盆踊り 2020 #

東京盆踊り Tokyo Bon 2020

ご丁寧に、ダンスだけのバージョンも用意されています。

ダンスバージョン 東京盆踊り Tokyo Bon 2020

一度聞くと頭から離れなくなりますね。でも、間違ってもこの動画でリスニング勉強しないでくださいね笑

この曲と踊り、日本ではあまり知られていないものの、海外では流行ったとかなんとか。フィリピン留学の時に覚えていこうかな。
