1
During COVID, everyone was sequestered in their own corners of the world.
2
I had the strange fortune of being sequestered here aboard the Ocean Explorer,
3
one of the most advanced research vessels on the planet,
4
filming a show for National Geographic.
5
The ship was designed not just for research, but also for storytelling.
6
My job was to travel the world and show people what exploration is like from the perspective of an engineer.
7
When I tell people this,
8
they usually have three questions.
9
What was it like?
10
What did you learn?
11
And how did you get the job?
12
I'll go backward.
13
I wasn't always a great engineer.
14
I wasn't even a good student.
15
I spent more time tinkering than doing homework.
16
But I love engineering, and that has led me on an incredible journey.
17
With friends, I built low-cost underwater robots designed to democratize exploration,
18
and that democratization drew the attention of the show's producers.
19
You can watch the show to see what we discovered,
20
but for me, the most powerful moments we're seeing things that no one had ever seen before,
21
using the tools that we had built.
22
In the Azores, we teamed up with Rui Pareto,
23
renowned whale biologist who spent decades studying sperm whales.
24
These giants can dive to over a mile deep to hunt,
25
and we know very little about what they do when they're down there.
26
So to find out, Rui had put together a very DIY tag.
27
It used a taken-apart action camera.
28
It had a light, there was a radio beacon,
29
and it had suction cups designed to stick to the whale for a few hours
30
and then pop up and float to the surface.
31
It was very DIY, but even on an advanced research ship,
32
building your own tools is often the way to get the information you need.
33
It barely worked.
34
We had to spend nights soldering and improvising to try to get it going.
35
And at like 2 in the morning,
36
we finally got it going.
37
And while I overslept, Drew was already out on the boat.
38
He placed the tag on a whale,
39
and I remember him radioing back.
40
The tag was on.
41
Okay, a huge amount of suspense.
42
Would it ever come back to the surface?
43
Or would it flood with water?
44
Would the battery die?
45
Would the camera work?
46
We had no idea.
47
But it did come up.
48
We found it.
49
We took it back to the ship.
50
And fingers were crossed.
51
Finally, we opened it up.
52
There was no water inside.
53
Oh, my God.
54
We pulled out the SD card,
55
and like with bated breath,
56
we put it in the computer and waited for the files to load.
57
And oh my God, we had footage from the back of a sperm whale.
58
Oh my God.
59
Rui and I were losing it.
60
The first thing we saw was the whale's head and back as she descended into the bottom.
61
You could hear the water rushing by as she swam faster and faster into the deep particles rushed by the camera.
62
And the water pressure was so immense from the speed that eventually the suction cup started to come loose.
63
I thought that was going to bit.
64
We were going to lose it.
65
But one suction cup miraculously held on.
66
And it caused the tag to rotate backward.
67
And now we can see the sails massive fluke.
68
These can be 16 feet across on some whales,
69
driving her into the depths.
70
And as it got deeper,
71
we started hearing on the camera's microphone clicking.
72
You guys hear that?
73
That is echolocation.
74
That is the sound of the sperm whale hunting by listening for echoes bouncing off of prey.
75
I couldn't believe it.
76
And it didn't seem like she caught anything that time,
77
but as she came shallower in the light group rider,
78
we were just, like, amazed at what we were seeing.
79
It didn't seem like this was possible.
80
And then we started hearing a different sound.
81
It was a rapid series of clicks.
82
That's called codas.
83
This is the way sperm whales used to communicate with each other.
84
So we were hearing her talking to another whale.
85
We could not believe our ears and then we couldn't believe our eyes.
86
Rui and I were losing it.
87
The other whale came into the shot,
88
and they were talking back and forth.
89
They were swimming and bumping alongside each other.
90
For minutes, we watched in disbelief as we watched this exchange of these two whales.
91
Friends, family, lovers, we can never know for sure.
92
But what we were witnessing was something no one had ever seen before.
93
I remember seeing the bond that they had with my eyes and also feeling it with my heart.
94
The footage we had seen was not just data.
95
This was an experience of life.
96
It was reminding me why exploration really matters.
97
It's not just about understanding the world with our logical minds.
98
I believe exploration has huge potential to allow us to experience things with emotion
99
and feel the context of why we're here on Earth.
100
We saw that they even dived together,
101
and that is really something that moved me.
102
That one last dive, seeing that maybe it's not even such a lonely place down there after all.
103
We are all here together,
104
and that is something extremely powerful.
105
So we are living in an era now where our tools
106
can give us amazing ability to understand in ways never before possible.
107
The same advances that have put computers in our pockets
108
and access to almost unlimited information on our screens can also allow us to explore in brand new ways.
109
Our tools no longer limit what we can understand.
110
It's more that our understanding is limited by curiosity.
111
So the question isn't, what can we explore?
112
So much is already within our reach.
113
The real question is, what will we wonder about next?
114
Thank you very much.
115
Thank you.

본 수업에 대하여

이번 수업에서는 Eric Stackpole의 TED 강연을 통해 해양 탐사 및 고래 관찰에 대한 이야기로 영어 쉐도잉 연습을 합니다. 강연에서는 고래의 생태와 생명 관찰의 중요성에 대해 설명하며, 다양한 과학적 접근 방식이 소개됩니다. 이 과정을 통해 학생들은 영어 듣기 능력을 향상시키고, 자연과학에 대한 어휘를 더 넓힐 수 있습니다.

주요 어휘 및 구문

  • sequestered: 고립된
  • research vessel: 연구 선박
  • democratize exploration: 탐사를 민주화하다
  • underwater robots: 수중 로봇
  • suction cups: 흡착 컵
  • echolocation: 에코로케이션, 반향定位
  • coda: 고래의 소통 방식
  • improvising: 즉흥적으로 만든

연습 팁

이 강연의 속도와 톤에 맞춰 영어 쉐도잉을 연습할 때, 다음과 같은 조언을 참고하세요:

  • 강연을 처음 들을 때는 전체적인 내용을 파악하세요. 내용을 이해한 후, 같은 속도로 말하는 연습을 합니다.
  • 중요한 구문이나 어휘를 반복적으로 연습하세요. 이러한 단어는 IELTS 스피킹에서도 유용하게 사용될 수 있습니다.
  • 각 문장을 한 번씩 익힌 후, 그 문장을 따라 말해보세요. 빠른 속도로 따라 말하다 보면, 자연스럽게 발음과 억양이 개선됩니다.
  • 감정이나 톤을 강조하여 말을 해보세요. 강연자의 감정을 표현하는 것이 듣는 이에게도 강한 인상을 남길 수 있습니다.
  • 유튜브 영어 공부를 하며 강연 같은 내용을 반복적으로 듣고 말해보는 것은 실력을 쌓는 데 많은 도움이 됩니다.

마지막으로, shadowspeaks를 활용하여 자신만의 음성을 기록해 보세요. 녹음한 음성을 들어보면 발전 상황을 체크할 수 있고, 더 나은 표현을 찾는 데도 유용합니다.

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.
