2
It's been suggested that you might welcome words of wisdom from the past
3
and that several of us in the 20th century should send you, son.
4
Do you know this advice from Polonius in Shakespeare's Hamlet, this above all to thine own self be true?
5
Or what about these instructions from St. John the Divine?
6
Fear God and give glory to him for the hour of his judgment has come.
7
The best advice from my own era for you or just about anybody, anytime I guess, is a prayer first used by alcoholics who hope to never take a drink again.
8
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
9
Our century hasn't been as free with words of wisdom as some others.
10
I think because we were the first to get reliable information about the human situation.
11
How many of us there were.
12
How much food there was.
13
Whether we could raise or gather.
14
How fast we were reproducing.
15
What made us sick.
16
What made us die.
17
how much damage we were doing to the air and water and topsoil on which most life forms depended.
18
How violent and heartless nature can be and on and on.
19
Who could wax wise with so much bad news pouring in?
20
For me, the most paralyzing news was that nature was no conservationist.
21
It needed no help from us in taking the planet apart and putting it back together some different way, not necessarily improving it from the viewpoint of living things.
22
It set fire to forests with lightning bolts.
23
It paved vast tracts of arable land with lava, which could no more support life than big city parking lots.
24
It had in the past sent glaciers down from the North Pole to grind up major portions of Asia, Europe, and North America.
25
Nor was there any reason to think that it would not do that again someday.
26
At this very moment, it is turning African farms to deserts
27
and can be expected to heave up tidal waves or shower down white-hot boulders from outer space at any time.
28
It has not only exterminated exquisitely evolved species in a twinkling, but drained oceans and drowned continents as well.
29
If people think nature is their friend, then they have no need of an enemy.
30
Yes, and as you people a hundred years from now must know full well, and as your grandchildren will know even better, nature is ruthless
31
when it comes to matching the quantity of life in any
32
given place at any given time to the quantity of nourishment available.
33
So what have you and nature done about overpopulation?
34
Back here in 1988, we were seeing ourselves as a new sort of glacier,
35
warm-blooded and clever, unstoppable, about to gobble up everything and then make love and then double in size again.
36
Second thought, I'm not sure I could bear to hear what you
37
and nature may have done about too many people for too small a food supply.
38
And here is a crazy idea I'd like to try on you.
39
Is it possible that we aimed rockets with hydrogen-bombed warheads at each other, all set to go, in order to take our minds off the deeper problem?
40
How cruelly nature can be expected to treat us, nature being nature, and the by and by?
41
Now that we can discuss the mess we are in with some precision, I hope you have stopped choosing abysmally ignorant optimists for positions of leadership.
42
They were useful only so long as nobody had a clue as to what was really going on
43
during the past 7 million years or so.
44
In my time, they have been catastrophic.
45
They have been as heads of sophisticated institutions with real work to do.
46
The sort of leader we need now
47
are not those who promise ultimate victory over nature through perseverance and living as we do right now,
48
but those with the courage and intelligence to present to the world what appears to be nature's stern but reasonable surrender terms.
49
One, reduce and stabilize your population.
50
Two, stop poisoning the air, the water, and the topsoil.
51
Three, stop preparing for war and start dealing with your real problems.
52
4. Teach your kids and yourselves, while you're at it, how to inhabit a small planet without helping to kill it.
53
5. Stop thinking that science can fix anything if you give it a trillion dollars.
54
Stop thinking.
55
Your grandchildren will be okay, no matter how wasteful or destructive you may be,
56
since they can go to a nice new planet on a spaceship.
57
That is really mean and stupid.
58
And so on, or else.
59
Am I too pessimistic about life a hundred years from now?
60
Maybe I've spent too much time with scientists and not enough time with speech writers for politicians.
61
For all I know, even bag ladies and bag gentlemen will have their own personal helicopters or rocket belts in AD 2088.
62
Nobody will have to leave home to go to work or school, or even stop watching television.
63
Everybody will sit around all day, punching the keys of computer terminals connected to everything there is,
64
and sip orange drink through straws like astronauts.
65
Cheers, Kurt Vonnegut.

이 비디오로 배울 수 있는 영어 실력
이 영상은 벤едикт 컴버배치가 커트 폰네귀트의 편지를 읽는 내용으로, 영어 쉐도잉 연습에 최적화된 자료입니다. 특히 긴 문장의 리듬을 따라가는 능력과 중의적인 내용을 표현할 때의 톤 조절을 배울 수 있습니다. 또한, 복잡한 주제를 논할 때 필요한 명확한 발음과 강조의 기술을 연마할 수 있어요. 유튜브 영어 공부를 하며 실제 native speaker의 말투를 체화시키고 싶다면, 이 비디오로 쉐도잉 연습을 시작해 보세요!
들어야 할 연속 발음과 축약형
영어의 자연스러운 발음을 배우기 위해선 연결 발음(linking)과 축약형(reductions)을 주의깊게 듣는 것이 중요합니다. 이 영상에서 자주 등장하는 패턴은 다음과 같아요:
- "and the" → "an' the" (접속사 'and'의 'd'가 뒤의 'the'와 연결되어 약화됨)
- "it is" → "it's" (축약형으로 발음되며, 's'는 부드럽게 내뱉어짐)
- "could not" → "couldn't" (부정형 축약으로, 't'는 거의 들리지 않을 정도로 약함)
Native처럼 말하는 리듬과 강조
영어의 리듬은 강세(stress)와 박자(rhythm)로 결정됩니다. 이 영상에서 벤едикт 컴버배치는 중요한 내용을 강조하기 위해 단어의 발음을 길게 하거나 높은 톤으로 내보냅니다. 예를 들어, "nature is ruthless"에서 "ruthless"는 강조되어 발음되며, "the courage to change the things I can"에서 "courage"와 "change"가 중점적으로 강조됩니다. shadow speech 연습을 할 때는 이러한 강조 패턴을 따라가며, 자신의 목소리와 리듬을 조절해 보세요. 반복해서 연습하다 보면, 점점 native처럼 자연스러운 말투를 익힐 수 있을 거예요. 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 이 비디오를 여러 번 들으며 쉐도잉을 연습하면, 영어 실력이 눈에 띄게 향상될 거예요!
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.
