And I had done a hellish thing,
And it would work 'em woe:
For all averred, I had killed the bird
That made the breeze to blow.
Ah wretch! said they, the bird to slay,
That made the breeze to blow!
a hellish thing＝地獄のような行い（＝アホウドリを射殺したこと）／work 'em woe＝彼らに災いをもたらす／averred＝断言した／wretch＝人でなし、哀れな奴／slay＝殺す。
ここがQ2の答えの根拠。「hellish thing」＝アホウドリを撃ち殺したこと。
Nor dim nor red, like God's own head,
The glorious Sun uprist:
Then all averred, I had killed the bird
That brought the fog and mist.
'Twas right, said they, such birds to slay,
That bring the fog and mist.
uprist＝rose（昇った／古語）／'Twas right＝それは正しかった。 Q3の核心。天気が良くなった途端、乗組員は「同じ行為」を非難→称賛へひっくり返す。
ここで乗組員は共犯者（accomplices）になり、Part III で彼らも罰を受ける伏線になる。
Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.
boards did shrink＝（灼熱で）船板が乾いて縮む／Nor any drop to drink＝飲める一滴もない。 Q4（穴埋め）＝ drop／Q5（皮肉）＝ここ。水に囲まれているのに飲めない＝situational irony。理由は海水だから（塩分）。
※よくある間違い： "Nor any drop to drink" を "Nor a drop to drink" と書かない。
Ah! well a-day! what evil looks
Had I from old and young!
Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck was hung.
well a-day＝ああ悲しや（嘆きの古語）／evil looks＝憎しみのこもった目つき／from old and young＝老いも若きも（全員から）／was hung＝（受け身）吊るされた＝乗組員が掛けた。 Q9はここ。十字架＝救い・信仰の象徴。それがアホウドリに置き換わった＝救いを失い、罪そのものを身体に背負わされた。
英語の慣用句 "an albatross around one's neck"（重荷・消えない負い目）はこの一行が語源。
「Explain in 1–2 sentences. (2 points)」は、2点＝2つの要素と読むのが鉄則です。
①詩から引用する → ②その効果・意味を言う。この2つが入っていれば、短くても満点になります。
Template — 使い回せる型
Coleridge uses [device / image] in the phrase "[quotation]", which creates [mood / effect]. This suggests that [meaning — link to guilt, punishment or the supernatural].
Q6 型 — 雰囲気を説明する"the bloody Sun" / "a hot and copper sky"
模範解答 A（シンプル・確実に2点）
The words "bloody" and "copper" create a burning, oppressive atmosphere, as if the sky itself were made of hot metal. The colour red also suggests blood and violence, reminding the reader of the Mariner's guilt for killing the albatross.
模範解答 B（上級・pathetic fallacy を使う）
The "hot and copper sky" and the "bloody Sun" create a suffocating, hellish mood in which there is no shade and no escape. Through this pathetic fallacy, nature itself seems to be punishing the Mariner, so the heat feels less like weather than like a sentence being carried out.
採点者が探しているもの：① 色／熱のイメージに触れているか ② それが「罪・罰・逃げ場のなさ」につながると書けているか。 落とし穴："It is very hot and scary." だけでは0〜1点。必ず引用を入れる。
Q9 型 — 象徴を説明する"Instead of the cross, the Albatross"
模範解答 A
The cross is a symbol of Christian faith and forgiveness, so replacing it with the dead albatross shows that the Mariner has lost his hope of salvation. Instead of grace, he now carries his own crime physically around his neck.
模範解答 B（上級・乗組員の役割まで言う）
By hanging the albatross where the cross should be, the crew turns the bird into a symbol of sin and makes the Mariner's guilt visible to everyone. It is significant that they, not he, hang it there: they are punishing him for a decision they themselves approved of only a few stanzas earlier.
キーワード：salvation / forgiveness / grace（救い）・burden（重荷）・visible sign of guilt（目に見える罪の印）・penance（償い）。
出そうな記述 +3題自分で書いてから開くこと
① Explain the irony in the stanza beginning "Water, water, every where." (2 points)
模範解答を見る
The sailors are surrounded by an entire ocean and yet they are dying of thirst, because sea water is salty and cannot be drunk. This situational irony makes their suffering crueller, since the thing that could save them is everywhere in sight but completely useless.
② What does the sailors' change of opinion reveal about them? (2 points)
模範解答を見る
The sailors judge the killing not by whether it was right but by whether the weather happens to suit them, condemning the Mariner when it is foggy and praising him when the sun shines. This shows their moral weakness, and by approving of the crime they become accomplices, which is why they are punished with him.
③ Identify one example of alliteration and explain its effect. (2 points)
模範解答を見る
In "The furrow followed free", the repeated "f" sound is soft and flowing, which makes the line move quickly and imitates the ship gliding smoothly through the water. The sound therefore reinforces the sense of easy, effortless speed just before the wind dies.
この課題は詩とつながっています。マリナーが困っているのは泥水ではなく海水。
砂と炭のろ過器では塩は取れません。だから答案の最後に「ろ過＝濁りを取る／蒸留＝塩を取る」と書き分け、
図を2つ（ろ過器＋太陽熱蒸留器）出すと、"Water, water, every where" の皮肉まで理解していることが伝わります。
Diagram 1 — Layered Bottle Filter泥水・濁った水用
描き方のコツ：ペットボトルの底を切り、逆さまにして置く。粒の大きいものを上、細かいものを下に重ねる（上から順に大→小）。
最後は必ず煮沸。図には必ず英語のラベルと「Dirty water in → Clean water out」の矢印を入れること。
各工程の説明そのまま答案に使える英文つき
Layer
働き（日本語）
答案に書く英文
1. Large gravel 大きめの砂利
葉・虫・大きなゴミを最初に止める
The top layer of large gravel traps leaves, twigs and other large pieces of dirt so that they do not block the layers below.
2. Small gravel 小さい砂利
中くらいの粒を止める
Smaller gravel catches medium-sized particles that pass through the first layer.
3. Coarse sand 粗い砂
さらに細かい泥を捕らえる
Coarse sand removes finer pieces of soil and grit as the water slows down.
4. Fine sand 細かい砂
濁りの原因になる微粒子を除去
Fine sand filters out very small suspended particles, which makes the water look clear instead of cloudy.
5. Activated charcoal 活性炭
におい・色・一部の化学物質を吸着
Activated charcoal adsorbs bad smells, colour and some dissolved chemicals because its surface is extremely porous.
6. Cotton wool 脱脂綿
炭の粉が落ちるのを防ぐ最終フィルター
A layer of cotton wool at the neck stops charcoal dust from falling into the clean water.
7. Cloth 布
いちばん外側の押さえ・受け
A piece of cloth over the opening holds the materials in place and catches anything that escapes.
8. Boiling 煮沸（必須）
ろ過では菌は取れない。1分以上沸騰させて殺菌
Finally the filtered water must be boiled for at least one minute, because filtering removes solid particles but does not kill bacteria, viruses or parasites.
A sand-and-charcoal filter can only remove solid particles, so it would not have saved the Mariner's crew: sea water is undrinkable because of the dissolved salt, which filtering cannot take out. To make sea water safe you need distillation — boiling or solar evaporation — so that only pure water vapour rises and the salt is left behind. This is exactly why there is "water, water, every where, / Nor any drop to drink."
