もはや恒例になってきたスタディサプリTOEIC講座でやった所だ。第三弾でございます。
おなじみの方もいるかもしれませんが、この企画はスタディサプリTOEICで習った事を洋楽を使ってインプットしようという物になります。

さて、第三弾は現在完了のbeenです。
スタディサプリTOEICのパーフェクト講義パート1でもひたすら聞き取りの練習をしましたね。
そうです。beenとbeingの音の違いです。
本当ならbeingと一緒に紹介したかったのですが、あまり洋楽では使われないようで。
私も勉強していて思うのは受け身の進行形を作る時しかbeingって使わないな、感じました。
もちろん他にも使う場面はあるのでしょうが、洋楽を聞いている限りあまり一般的ではないようです。
なのでbeenだけで記事を作るに至りました。
もちろんbeingが使われている洋楽を発見したら追記したいと思います。
追記しました!
*追記:3か月間ガチでスタディサプリTOEICで勉強した結果が出ました!
さて、早速記事の本文に行きましょう。
【現在完了:been】スタディサプリTOEIC講座でやったところだ!
今回紹介するのはMarshmello ft. Bastille - Happierになります。
二回連続でマシュメロになってしまいましたね。
歌詞のないEDMやダンスミュージックにはほとんど興味がありませんでした。
だからマシュメロも名前は知っているけれどそれ以上は知りませんでした。
ただ前回でも紹介したMarshmello & Anne-Marie - FRIENDSがめちゃくちゃよくてね!
あれからマシュメロのFt系の曲をよく聞くようになっちゃたんですよ。

皆も聞いてくれよな!
さて、今回はbeenをたくさん聞いて耳を慣らさせようというコンセプトです。
とりあえず現在完了の用法は覚えていますか?
S have pp(過去分詞)でしたね。
この時ppがbe動詞の場合、それと受け身、進行形を作りたいときはbeenになります。
beenがなけれ完了形を作れないって事ではないです。
元の文でbe動詞が使われていたら、そりゃbe動詞を過去分詞にしたらbeenになるよねって話ですね。
進行形も受け身もbe動詞+~って形ですしね。
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
When the morning comes
When we see what we've become
In the cold light of day we're a flame in the wind
Not the fire that we've begun
Every argument, every word we can't take back
'Cause with the all that has happened
I think that we both know the way that the story ends
Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
I want to raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave
Know that means I'll have to leave
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
When the evening falls
And I'm left there with my thoughts
And the image of you being with someone else
Well, that's eating me up inside
But we run our course, we pretend that we're okay
Now if we jump together at least we can swim
Far away from the wreck we made
Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
I want to raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave
Know that means I'll have to leave
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go
So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
Even though I might not like this
I think that you'll be happier, I want you to be happier
Then only for a minute (only for a minute)
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
I want to raise your spirits
I want to see you smile but
Know that means I'll have to leave
Know that means I'll have to leave
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
So I'll go, I'll go
I will go, go, go
さておき、今回の歌詞の該当箇所は
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
最近ずっと考えてる、考えているんだ。君はもっと幸せになってほしいって。
痺れる歌詞してますよね~!!!!
冒頭からこれですよ。最高にかっこいいっす。
しかもリスニングに優しいのもいい。
変な癖もなければ、曲調に合わせてテンポも崩れる事もありませんし。
何度も曲の中で出てくるのもいいです。
ぜひこの曲を何度もリピートしてbeenの発音を耳にしみ込ませてみてください!
追記 beingが使われている洋楽を発見しました。
Nick Jonas - Remember I Told You
Remember I told you, I need you?
Remember the spotlight was there
All of the words that I'm saying
Are just a fancy way of saying "I care"
I don't suppose you have a moment to spare me
Do you? Do you?
I've been looking for lovin', all the wrong places
You too? You too?
I don't like the way you went ant told me, "Oh well"
I have the suspicion you're not being yourself
I don't suppose you have a moment to spare me
Do you? Do you?
Remember I told you, I need you?
Remember the spotlight was there
All of the words that I'm saying
Are just a fancy way of saying "I care"
You're probably somewhere, with someone I don't know
That's cool, and that's cool
And I hope that she gives you, all the things that you deserve
That's true, that's true (listen)
I don't like the way you went ant told me, "Oh well"
I have the suspicion you're not being yourself
You're probably somewhere, with someone I don't know
That's cool, and that's cool
Remember I told you, I need you?
Remember the spotlight was there
All of the words that I'm saying
Are just a fancy way of saying "I care"
Had to cut it off, and we know why
I'm in love with myself, cold inside
Too many shoes in your closet, go some miles
I suck at talking to girls, here goes a try
More women than I should've in a century
Bitches on the side like a Kennedy
Started to drain all my energy
I love it, shoot the friend and an enemy
At the same time, and I can't lie
Too many girls for the way I rock the bassline
You got addicted to the seats on the bassline
Let's see how you do with your back before fame lie
After all the shit we been through
I play the Roxy, I ain't 'bout to guest list you
And I know I'm talking shit, it ain't fair
Hate's just a fancy way saying that I care
Remember I told you, I need you?
Remember the spotlight was there
All of the words that I'm saying
Are just a fancy way of saying "I care" (saying I care)
Remember I told you, I need you
Remember the spotlight was there
All of the words that I'm saying (words I'm saying)
Are just a fancy way of saying "I care" (saying I care)
この曲もめちゃんこかっこいいんですわ。

途中でlistenと入ってくるニック・ジョナスがかっちょいい
該当箇所は、
I have the suspicion you're not being yourself
調べた所、not being yourselfで自分を偽る、他人になりすます。らしいです。
勉強になりますね。
直訳すると僕は君が自分を偽っているという疑いを持っているんだ。
ナチュラルに訳すと、僕は君が自分を偽っていると疑っている、てな感じ。
ちなみにこの曲にはbeen とbeingの二つが使われているので、聞き分けにぴったりかもしせん。
勉強ができない移動中にぜひ聞いてみてください。
楽しそうなMVがまた素敵な曲です!
