Hello, I'm Becca.

And I'm Pippa.

In this programme, we look at one big news story and the vocabulary in the headlines that will help you understand it.

So, let's hear more about this story.
9
On Saturday night, Cole Thomas Allen was arrested for attempting to shoot US President Donald Trump during the White House Correspondents' Dinner.
10
He's now been charged with attempted assassination.
11
Alan was carrying two guns and three knives, prosecutors say.
12
During Saturday night's incident, Trump, Vice President J.D.
13
Vance, Cabinet members and other White House officials were rushed from the Washington Hilton Hotel ballroom after gunfire was heard.
14
Let's have our first headline.
15
This is from BBC News.
16
Performer describes locking eyes with Trump as they ducked for cover during shooting.
17
That headline again from BBC News.
18
News.
19
Performer describes locking eyes with Trump as they ducked for cover during shooting.
20
This headline is based on a performer's account of the night.
21
Oz Perlman told the BBC that he was talking to Trump,
22
First Lady Melania Trump and White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt when the attack happened.
23
Yes, he says that they were face to face looking at each other.
24
And the language we're going to focus on can describe just that.
25
The headline mentions that the performer locked eyes with Trump.
26
What can you tell us about this expression, Pippa?
27
Well, when you literally lock something,
28
you make it so that it cannot be opened or moved.
29
And that meaning is useful when we think about the phrase locking eyes with someone.
30
Yes, locking eyes is a metaphorical phrase and it means
31
that two people look into each other's eyes at the same time for a period of time.
32
So as the performer described,
33
he and Trump were face to face looking at each other.
34
They locked eyes.
35
We often use lock eyes in dramatic situations,
36
like the one in this story.
37
But you might also hear it in more positive situations,
38
such as in romantic contexts.
39
For example, as soon as they locked eyes,
40
they knew they were in love.
41
We can also use the phrase hold someone's gaze,
42
and this means a similar thing to lock eyes,
43
that two people look straight at each other for a period of time.
44
We've had lock eyes, look at someone who is looking at you for a period of time.
45
For example, the two fighters locked eyes before the boxing match,
46
neither wanting to be the first to look away.

Today, we're talking about another attempt to shoot US President Donald Trump.
50
The dinner and shooting took place at the Washington Hilton Hotel during the White House Correspondence Dinner.
51
This event happens every year and political journalists are invited.
52
There have been two previous unsuccessful attempts to kill President Trump while he was campaigning for election in 2024.
53
As US investigators look into this third alleged assassination attempt against Trump,
54
security officials are reviewing the president's protection protocols.
55
Many have questioned whether the security perimeter at the Washington Hilton was strong enough,
56
why attendees were not asked to show their ID at the event,
57
and why the president, vice president and others in the line of succession were all gathered in one place.
58
President Trump has said the incident shows his controversial plan to build a $400 million ballroom at the White House is needed.
59
Our next headline is about this.
60
This headline is from The Guardian, a British newspaper.
61
Trump claims gala shooting gives urgency to White House ballroom plan.
62
That headline again from The Guardian.
63
Trump claims gala shooting gives urgency to White House ballroom plan.
64
This headline is about Trump's response to the attempted attack at the hotel.
65
The headline says Trump believes the incident gives urgency to his plans for a ballroom.
66
What can you tell us about this phrase, gives urgency, Becca?
67
Well, the adjective urgent means very important.
68
It tells us that something needs immediate attention.
69
So if we give urgency to something,
70
it means that we make something more important so that it will be considered more quickly.
71
Yes, we use give urgency in more formal contexts,
72
usually where a sudden event or change in circumstances makes a particular issue more important.
73
For example, an accident in a school playground could give urgency to safety updates that were already being planned or discussed.
74
We can use give with other abstract nouns as well.
75
For example, we can give thanks when we receive a gift,
76
give consideration to a topic that requires careful thinking or give support to someone when they need it.
77
We've had give urgency, make something more important so that it will be considered more quickly.
78
For example, the growing humanitarian crisis gives urgency to peace negotiations.

98
often a negative one.
99
Yes, literally a wake is the trail left behind a ship.
100
It creates waves which spread out behind it.
101
If you're in the wake of an event,
102
the consequences of that event are still happening.
103
There might still be metaphorical waves and things might still be unsettled.
104
Yes, so in this story the British Royals are visiting straight after a dramatic event and other issues like war.
105
They're visiting in the wake of these events.

이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 하는 이유는?

이번 BBC Learning English 비디오는 도널드 트럼프 대통령에 대한 시도된 암살 사건을 다루고 있습니다. 이와 같은 뉴스는 실제적인 대화 상황을 배우는 데 매우 유용하며, 다양한 어휘와 표현을 접할 수 있는 기회를 제공합니다. 특히, 영어 쉐도잉 기법을 사용하면 전문 용어와 발음을 함께 연습할 수 있습니다. 학습자는 뉴스 기사에서 사용되는 표현들을 통해 자연스럽게 구사하는 법을 익힐 수 있으며, 이를 통해 실제 상황에서도 더욱 자신감 있게 대화할 수 있습니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현

  • lock eyes: 이 표현은 두 사람이 서로의 눈을 바라보며 집중하는 상황을 묘사합니다. 예를 들어, "They locked eyes during the tense moment"는 긴장된 순간 동안 서로의 눈을 바라보았다는 의미입니다.
  • duck for cover: 이 표현은 위험을 피하기 위해 낮은 자세를 취하는 행위를 말합니다. 예를 들어, "People ducked for cover when the gunfire started"는 총성이 들리자 사람들은 위험을 피하기 위해 몸을 숨겼다는 뜻입니다.
  • charged with: 이는 특정 범죄로 기소되었다는 의미를 갖습니다. 예를 들어, "He was charged with attempted assassination"이라고 하면 그가 암살 미수로 기소되었다는 의미입니다.

이러한 표현들은 시사성 있는 뉴스 내용을 이해하는 데 도움을 줄 뿐만 아니라, 실생활에서도 유용하게 사용될 수 있습니다. 학습자는 이러한 문법 구조를 shadow speech 방법으로 연습하여 더욱 체크된 발음을 구사할 수 있습니다.

공통 발음 함정

이번 비디오에서 "attempted assassination"과 같은 복잡한 구절은 한국어 화자에게 어려움이 될 수 있습니다. 특히 중간의 음절인 "assassination"은 발음하기 까다롭습니다. 학습자는 해당 구절을 반복적으로 연습하면서 정확한 발음을 익힐 수 있습니다. shadowspeaks와 같은 연습 기법을 활용하면 이러한 발음 함정을 극복하고 자신감을 높일 수 있습니다. 또한, 관사 사용 및 발음에 주의하여 문장을 유창하게 이어 나가는 연습이 필요합니다. 그러므로, shadowing site를 활용하여 반복 연습을 하는 것이 좋습니다.

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.
