1
A tree grows in Brooklyn.
2
Chapter one, part one.
3
Serene was a word you could put to Brooklyn, New York, especially in the summer of 1912.
4
Somber as a word was better, but it did not apply to Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
5
Prairie was lovely and Shenandoah had a beautiful sound but you couldn't fit those words into Brooklyn.
6
Serene was the only word for it, especially on a Saturday afternoon in summer.
7
Late in the afternoon, the sun slanted down into the mossy yard belonging to Francie Nolan's house
8
and warmed the worn wooden fence.
9
Looking at the shafted sun, Francie had that same fine feeling that came when she recalled the poem they had recited in school.
10
This is the forest primeval.
11
The murmuring pines and the hemlocks, bearded with moss and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight, stand like druids of eld.
12
The one tree in Francie's yard was neither pine nor hemlock.
13
It had pointed leaves which grew along green switches
14
which radiated from the bow and made a tree which looked like a lot of open green umbrellas.
15
Some people called it the tree of heaven.
16
No matter where its seed fell, it made a tree which struggled to reach the sky.
17
It grew and boarded up lots and out of neglected rubbish heaps.
18
It was the only tree that grew out of cement.
19
It grew lushly, but only in the tenement districts.
20
You took a walk on a Sunday afternoon and came into a nice neighborhood, very refined.
21
You saw a small one of these trees through the iron grate leading into someone's yard, and you knew that soon that section of Brooklyn would get to be a tenement district.
22
The tree knew.
23
It came there first.
24
Afterwards, poor foreigners seeped in and the quiet old brownstone houses were hacked up into flats.
25
Feather beds were pushed out onto windowsills to air and the tree of heaven flourished.
26
That was the kind of tree it was.
27
It liked poor people.
28
That was the kind of tree in Francie's yard.
29
Its umbrellas curled over around and under her third floor fire escape.
30
An 11 -year -old girl sitting on this fire escape couldn't imagine that she was living in a tree.
31
That's what Francie imagined every Saturday afternoon in summer.
32
Oh, what a wonderful day was Saturday in Brooklyn.
33
Oh, how wonderful anywhere.
34
People were paid on Saturday, and it was a holiday without the rigidness of Sunday.
35
People had money to go out and buy things.
36
They ate well for once, got drunk, had dates, made love, and stayed up until all hours singing and playing music,
37
fighting and dancing because the moral was their own free day.
38
They could sleep late, until late Mass anyhow.
39
On Sunday, most people crowded into the 11 o 'clock Mass, while some people, a few, went to 6 o 'clock early Mass.
40
They were given credit for this, but they deserved none, for they were the ones who had stayed out
41
so late that it was morning when they got home.
42
So they went to this early Mass, got it over with, and went home and slept all day with a free conscience.
43
For Francie, Saturday started with the trip to the junkie.
44
She and her brother Neely, like other Brooklyn kids, collected rags, paper, metal, rubber, and other junk,
45
and hoarded it in locked cellar bins or in boxes hidden under the bed.
46
All week, Francie walked home slowly from school with her eyes in the gutter looking for tinfoil from cigarette packages
47
or chewing gum wrappers.
48
This was melted in the lid of a jar.
49
The junkie wouldn't take an unmelted ball of foil
50
because too many kids put iron washers in the middle to make them weigh heavier.
51
Sometimes Neely found a seltzer bottle.
52
Francie helped him break the top off and melt it down for lead.
53
The junkie wouldn't buy a complete top because he'd get in trouble with the soda water people.
54
A seltzer bottle top was fine.
55
Melted.
56
It was worth a nickel.
57
Francie and Neely went down into the cellar each evening and emptied the dumbwaiter shelves of the day's accumulated trash.
58
They owned this privilege because Francie's mother was the janitress.
59
They looted the shelves for paper, rags, and deposit bottles.
60
Paper wasn't worth much.
61
They only got a penny for ten pounds.
62
Rags brought two cents a pound and ironed four.
63
Copper was good, 10 cents a pound.
64
Sometimes Francie came across a bonanza, the bottom of a discarded wash boiler.
65
She got it off with a can opener, folded it, pounded it, folded it, and pounded it again.
66
Soon after nine o 'clock of a Saturday morning, kids began spraying out of the side streets to Manhattan Avenue,
67
the main thoroughfare they made their slow way up the avenue to shoal street Some carried their junk in their arms.
68
Others had wagons made out of wooden soapboxes with solid wooden wheels.
69
A few pushed loaded baby buggies.
70
Francie and Neely put all their junk into a burlap bag and each grabbed an end and dragged it along the street.
71
Up Manhattan Avenue, past Mauer, 10 Ike, Stag to Shoal Street.
72
Beautiful names for ugly streets.
73
From each side street, hordes of little ragamuffins emerged to swell the main tide.
74
On the way to Kearney's, they met other kids coming back empty -handed.
75
They had sold their junk and already squandered the pennies.
76
Now swaggering back, they jeered at other kids.
77
Ragpicker, ragpicker.
78
Francie's face burned at the name.
79
No comfort knowing that the taunters were ragpickers too.
80
No matter that her brother would straggle back empty -handed with his gang and taunt latecomers the same way.
81
Francie felt ashamed.
82
carney plied his junk business in a tumbledown stable turning the corner francie saw
83
that both doors were hooked back hospitably and she imagined
84
that the large bland dial of the swinging scale blinked a
85
welcome she saw carney with his rusty hair rusty mustache
86
and rusty eyes presiding at the scale carney liked girls better
87
than boys he would give a girl an extra penny if she did not shrink when he pinched her cheek.
88
Because of the possibility of this bonus, Neely stepped aside and let Francie drag the bag into the stable.
89
Carney jumped forward, dumped the contents of the bag on the floor, and took a preliminary pinch out of her cheek.
90
While he piled the stuff on the scale, Francie blinked, adjusting her eyes to the darkness and was aware of the mossy air and the odor of wetted rags.
91
Kearney slewed his eyes at the dial and spoke two words, his offer.
92
Francie knew that no dickering was permitted.
93
She nodded yes, and Kearney flipped the junk off and made her wait while he piled the paper in one corner, threw the rags in another, and sorted out the medals.
94
Only then did he reach down in his pants pocket, haul up an old leather pouch tied with a wax string
95
and cowed out old green pennies
96
that looked like junk too as she whispered thank you carney fixed a rusty junk look on her
97
and pinched her cheek hard she stood her ground he smiled
98
and added an extra penny then his manner changed and he became loud and brisk
99
come on he hollered to the next one in line a boy get the lead out he timed the laugh
100
and I don't mean the junk.
101
The children laughed dutifully.
102
The laughter sounded like the bleeding of lost little lambs, but Kearney seemed satisfied.
103
Francie went out to report to her brother.
104
He gave me 16 cents and a pension penny.
105
That's your penny, he said, according to an old agreement.
106
She put the penny in her dress pocket and turned the rest of the money over to him.
107
Neely was 10, a year younger than Francie, but he was the boy.
108
He handled the money.
109
He divided the pennies carefully.
110
Eight cents for the bank.
111
That was the rule.
112
Half of any money they got from anywhere went into the tin can bank.
113
That was nailed to the floor in the darkest corner of the closet.
114
And four cents for you and four cents for me.
115
Francie knotted the bank money in her handkerchief she looked at her own five pennies realizing happily
116
that they could be changed into a whole nickel.
117
Neely rolled up the burlap bag tucked it under his arm
118
and pushed his way into cheap Charlie's with Francie right behind him.
119
Cheap Charlie's was the penny candy store next to Carnie's which catered to the junk trade.
120
At the end of a Saturday its cash box was filled with greenish pennies.
121
But by an unwritten law, it was a boy's store, so Francie did not go all the way in.
122
She stood in the doorway.
123
The boys from eight to fourteen years of age looked alike in straggling knickerbockers and broken pink caps.
124
They stood around, hands in pockets and thin shoulders hunched forward tensely.
125
They would grow up looking like that, standing the same way in other hangouts.
126
The only difference would be the cigarettes, seemingly permanently fastened between their lips, rising and falling in accent as they spoke.
127
Now the boys churned about nervously, their thin faces turning from Charlie to each other and back to Charlie again.
128
Francie noticed that some had already had their summer hair cut, hair cropped so short that there were nicks in the scalp where the clippers had bitten too deeply.
129
These fortunates had their caps crammed into their pockets or pushed back on their head.
130
The unshorn ones, whose hair curled gently and still babyishly at the nape of their neck, were ashamed, and wore theirs pulled so far down over their ears
131
that there was something girlish about them in spite of their jerky profanity.
132
Cheap Charlie was not cheap, and his name wasn't Charlie.
133
He had taken that name, and it said so on the store awning, and Francie believed it.
134
Charlie gave you a pick for a penny.
135
A board of 50 numbered hooks and a prize hanging from each hook hung behind the counter.
136
There were a few fine prizes, roller skates, a catcher's mitt, a doll with real hair, and so on.
137
The other hooks held blotters, pencils, and other penny articles.
138
Francie watched as Neely bought a pick.
139
He removed the dirty card from the ragged envelope.
140
26 hopefully francie looked at the board he had drawn a penny pen wiper prize
141
or candy charlie asked him candy what do you think it
142
was always the same francie had never heard of anyone winning
143
above a penny prize indeed the skate wheels were rusted
144
and the doll's hair had dust filmed as those these things
145
had waited a long time like little boy blues toy dog and tin soldier
146
someday francie resolved when she had 50 cents she would take all the picks
147
and win everything on the board she figured
148
that would be a good business deal skates mitt and doll
149
and all the other things for 50 cents why the skates alone were worth four times
150
that much neely would have to come along that great day
151
because girls seldom patronize charlie's true there were a few girls there that Saturday, bold, brash ones, too developed for their age,
152
girls who talked loud and horse -played around with the boys, girls whom the neighbors prophesied would come to no good.
153
Francie went across the street to Gimpy's candy store.
154
Gimpy was lame.
155
He was a gentle man, kind to little children, or so everyone thought until that sunny afternoon
156
when he inveigled a little girl into his dismal back room.
157
Francie debated whether she should sacrifice one of her pennies for a gimpy special, the prize bag.
158
Maudie Donovan, her once -in -a -while girlfriend, was about to make a purchase.
159
Francie pushed her way in until she was standing behind Maudie.
160
She pretended that she was spending the penny.
161
She held her breath as Maudie, after much speculation, pointed dramatically at a bulging bag in the showcase.
162
Francie would have picked a smaller bag.
163
She looked over her friend's shoulder, saw her take out a few pieces of stale candy, an examiner prize, a coarse cambric handkerchief.
164
Once Francie had gotten a small bottle of strong scent.
165
She debated again whether to spend a penny on a prize bag.
166
It was nice to be surprised even if he couldn't eat the candy
167
but she reasoned she had been surprised by being with Maudie when she made her purchase and that was almost as good.
168
Francie walked up Manhattan Avenue reading aloud the fine -sounding names of the streets she passed shoals meserole montrose
169
and then johnson avenue
170
these two last avenues were where the italians had settled the
171
district called jewtown started at seagull street took in moore and mckibben and went past broadway francie headed for broadway
172
and what was on broadway in williamsburg brooklyn nothing only the finest nickel and dime store in all the world.
173
It was big and glittering and had everything in the world in it, or so it seemed to an 11 -year -old girl.
174
Francie had a nickel.
175
Francie had power.
176
She could buy practically anything in that store.
177
It was the only place in the world where that could be.
178
Arriving at the store, she walked up and down the aisles, handling any object her fancy favored.
179
What a wonderful feeling to pick something up, hold it for a moment, feel its contour, run her hand over its surface and replace it carefully.
180
Her nickel gave her this privilege.
181
If a floor walker asked whether she intended buying anything, she could say yes, buy it and show him a thing or two.
182
Money was a wonderful thing, she decided.
183
After an orgy of touching things, she made her plan to purchase five cents worth of pink and white peppermint wafers.
184
She walked back home down Graham Avenue, the ghetto street.
185
She was excited by the filled push carts, each a little store in itself, the bargaining emotional juice and the peculiar smells of the neighborhood,
186
baked stuffed fish and sour rye bread fresh from the oven, and something that smelled like honey boiling.
187
She stared at the bearded men in their alpaca skull caps, in silkeling coats, and wondered what made their eyes so small and fierce.
188
She looked into the tiny hole -in -the -wall shops, smelled the dress fabrics arranged in disorder on tables.
189
She noticed the feather beds bellying out of windows, clothes of oriental bright colours drying on fire escapes, and the half -naked children playing in the gutters.
190
A woman big with child sat patiently at the curb in a stiff wooden chair.
191
She sat in the hot sunshine watching the life on the street and guarding within herself her own mystery of life.
192
Francie remembered her surprise that time when Mama told her that Jesus was a Jew.
193
Francie thought that he was a Catholic, but Mama knew.
194
Mama said that the Jews never looked on Jesus as anything
195
but a troublesome Yiddish boy who would not work at the carpentry trade, marry, settle down, and raise a family.
196
And the Jews believed that their Messiah was yet to come, Mama said.
197
Thinking of this, Francie stared at the pregnant Jewess.
198
I guess that's why the Jews have so many babies, Francie thought.
199
And why they sit so quiet, waiting.
200
And why they aren't ashamed the way they are fat.
201
Each one thinks that she might be making the real little Jesus.
202
That's why they walk so proud when they're that way.
203
Now the Irish women always look so ashamed.
204
They know that they can never make a Jesus.
205
It will just be another mick.
206
When I grow up and know I'm going to have a baby, I will remember to walk proud and slow, even though I'm not a Jew.

이 클립, 영어 말하기 연습에 왜 좋을까요?
이 비디오는 shadowspeak이나 shadow speak 연습에 최적화된 소재입니다. 서정적인 분위기의 서사가 자연스러운 영어 리듬을 담고 있어, 발음 뿐만 아니라 문장의 흐름까지 익힐 수 있습니다. 특히 1912년 브루클린의 풍경을 묘사하는 부분은 구체적인 이미지와 함께 단어의 사용법을 배우는 데 도움되며, 어린이의 시점에서 이야기하는 구절은 친숙한 감정을 전달해 발음 교정에 집중하기 쉽습니다. 영어 발음 교정을 원한다면, 이런 자연스러운 대화체 텍스트가 가장 효과적이죠.
자연스러운 표현, 하나씩 분석해보기
- "Serene was a word you could put to Brooklyn": 주어를 뒤로 미루는 구조가 영어의 자연스러운 표현입니다. "Brooklyn에 적용할 수 있는 단어로 'serene'이 있었어"보다 "serene은 브루클린에 어울리는 단어였어"처럼 번역하지만, 영어에서는 주제를 강조하기 위해 이렇게 사용합니다. shadowspeaks 연습 시 이 리듬을 따라하면 자연스러운 말투가 됩니다.
- "It grew lushly, but only in the tenement districts": "lushly"는 풍성하게 자라는 모습을 생생히 표현하는 단어입니다. "but only"로 대조를 강조해, 나무의 특성을 명확히 전달합니다. 발음할 때 "lushly"의 'sh' 소리와 "tenement"의 't' 발음을 주의하면 영어 발음 교정에 도움이 됩니다.
- "Oh, what a wonderful day was Saturday in Brooklyn":感嘆句의 구조로, "브루클린의 토요일은 정말 멋진 날이었어"보다 더 강한 감정을 전달합니다. "what a wonderful day"를 높은 톤으로 발음하고, "was Saturday"를 부드럽게 연결하면 자연스러운 표현이 됩니다. shadow speech 연습에 적합한 구절입니다.
간단한 연습 루틴, 지금 시작해보세요!
이 비디오를 이용한 shadowspeak 연습법은 다음과 같습니다. 1. 비디오를 5초씩 재생하고 멈춥니다. 2. 들은 내용을 즉시 따라 말하며, 발음과 리듬을 최대한 비슷하게 맞춥니다. 3. 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교합니다. 4. 틀린 발음이나 리듬을 찾아 반복 연습합니다. 특히 "the tree of heaven"나 "junkie" 같은 단어의 발음을 집중해서 연습하면 영어 발음 교정 효과가 큽니다. 매일 10분씩坚持하다보면, 자연스러운 영어 말하기 실력이 늘어날 거예요! 화이팅!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
