ブラッドピットのスピーチで一文のディクテーションテストです。
（22秒あたりの部分）
We ------- with two ------- challenges.
一つは基本動詞の活用形。もう一つは固有名詞の英語読みを知っていれば分かるものです。「大変困難な」「労力が必要な」と言った意味です。」
(スクリプト)
Listen, five years ago I knew nothing about Zombies but today I consider myself an expert. This whole thing started because I just wanted to do a film my boys could see before they turned 18, one they liked anyway and they loved Zombies. So we settled on this book, Max Brooks’ book called World War Z.
We were faced with two Herculean challenges. How do we keep the global spectacular dynamic scope of the book and how do we originate a Zombie film that’s been done quite often and really really well? What you are about to see is our answer to those two questions.
