Chapter 2 The Card So next day,
2
at seven o'clock, I came to the shop in a cab.
3
There were not very many people in the road, because it was early in the morning.
4
In November, it is dark at seven o'clock in the morning, and I could not see the shop very well.
5
I waited five minutes.
6
A postman walked past.
7
Then the door of the shop opened, and the creature, Merrick, came out.
8
I could not see his face or his body.
9
He had an enormous black hat on his head, like a big box.
10
A grey cloth came down from the hat in front of his face.
11
There was a hole in the cloth, in front of his eyes.
12
He could see out of the hole, but I could not see in.
13
He wore a long black coat, too.
14
The coat began at his neck and ended at his feet, so I could not see his arms, his body, or his legs.
15
On his feet, he wore big shoes like old bags.
16
He had a stick in his left hand, and he walked very slowly.
17
I opened the door of the cab and got out.
18
Good morning, Mr. Merrick, I said.
19
Can you get in?
20
Help my upper steps, he said.
21
I'm sorry, I said.
22
I don't understand.
23
For a minute, he stood by the door of the cab and said nothing.
24
Then he hit the cab with his stick.
25
Steps, he said loudly.
26
Help me up the steps.' Then I understood.
27
There were three steps up into the cab, and he could not get up them.
28
"'Yes, I see.
29
I'm sorry,' I said.
30
"'Let me help you.' I took his left hand and began to help him.
31
My right hand was behind his back.
32
I felt very strange.
33
His left hand was like a young woman's, but his back under the coat was horrible.
34
I could feel the bags of old skin on his back under the coat.
35
He put one enormous foot on the first step, and then he stopped.
36
After a minute, he moved his second foot slowly.
37
Then he stopped and waited again.
38
"'Hello, sir.
39
Can I help you?' I looked behind me.
40
It was the postman.
41
And behind him, I could see three young boys.
42
One of the boys laughed.
43
The postman smiled.
44
"'Is the gentleman ill?' he asked.
45
I thought quickly.
46
Yes, but this is a lady, not a gentleman.
47
I'm a doctor, and she's ill.
48
Take her hand so I can help her better.
49
The postman took Merrick's left hand, and I helped him with two hands from behind.
50
Slowly, very slowly, Merrick went up the steps and into the cab.
51
One boy was very near the cab.
52
He called to his friends.
53
"'Come and see this, boys.
54
A fat lady in a black coat.
55
And look at that enormous hat!' The boys laughed.
56
They were very near the cab, too, now.
57
I closed the door quickly.
58
"'Thank you,' I said to the postman.
59
"'That's all right, sir,' he said.
60
She's a strange lady, sir, isn't she?
61
She's ill, that's all, I said quickly.
62
We're going to the hospital.
63
Goodbye, and thank you.
64
The cab drove down the road to the hospital.
65
I looked at Merrick.
66
That was difficult, wasn't it?
67
I said.
68
At first he said nothing, but then he spoke.
69
His voice was very strange, but I listened to him carefully, and I could understand him.
70
"'The steps were very difficult,' he said.
71
"'But most things are difficult for me.' "'Yes,' I said.
72
"'Nothing is easy for you, is it?' "'No,' he said.
73
He was very quiet for a minute.
74
Then he said, "'Who are you, sir?' Who am I?
75
Oh, I'm sorry.
76
My name is Dr. Treves.
77
Here, this is my card.
78
I gave him a card with my name on.
79
Then I thought, that was no good.
80
This man can't read.
81
But Merrick took the card and looked at it very carefully.
82
Then he put it in his trousers pocket.
83
I did not talk to him very much at the hospital.
84
I looked at his head and arms and legs and body very carefully.
85
Then I wrote the important things about him in a little book.
86
A nurse helped me.
87
Merrick looked at her sometimes, but she did not smile at him or talk to him.
88
I think she was afraid of him.
89
I think Merrick was afraid too, because he was very quiet.
90
At four o'clock I took him back to the shop in a cab.
91
The next day, I looked in the shop window again, but the picture was not there.
92
Thank you.
93
Thank you.

실생활 시나리오: 낯선 사람을 도우는 상황

이 비디오의 대화는 아침 일찍 카브에서 낯선 사람을 도와주는 상황을 담고 있습니다. 11월 아침 7시, 어두운 거리에서 메릭이라는 인물을 도와 카브에 오르게 하는 과정은 일상 생활에서 자주 접할 수 있는 의사소통 상황을 잘 보여줍니다. 상대방의 말을 이해하기 어려울 때, 주변 사람들의 시선을 다루는 방법, 그리고 부드럽게 도움을 주는 표현 등이 포함되어 있어 IELTS 스피킹 준비나 실제 영어 대화에 매우 유용한 내용입니다.

외워두면 좋은 표현과 어구

  • "Help me up the steps" - "계단을 올라가게 도와주세요"라는 뜻으로, 구체적인 도움을 요청할 때 자주 사용됩니다. "help + 목적어 + 전치사 구" 구조를 익힐 수 있습니다.
  • "I don't understand" - 간단하지만 필수적인 표현으로, 상대방의 말을 이해하지 못할 때 솔직하게 말할 수 있습니다. 영어 발음 교정 시에는 "understand"의 발음을 확실히 연습해야 합니다.
  • "I thought quickly" - "빨리 생각했습니다"로, 갑작스러운 상황에서의 반응을 표현할 때 유용합니다. 유튜브 영어 공부를 할 때 이런 구체적인 상황 표현을 많이 익히면 실제 대화에서 더 자연스러워집니다.
  • "Take her hand" - "그녀의 손을 잡아주세요"라는 뜻으로, 다른 사람에게 도움을 부탁할 때 사용됩니다. "take + 목적어" 구조는 다양한 상황에서 활용할 수 있습니다.

당신의 샤도잉 챌린지: 지금 바로 해보세요!

shadow speech 또는 shadowspeaks는 발음과 리듬을 연습하는 좋은 방법입니다. 이 대화에서 "Good morning, Mr. Merrick, I said. Can you get in?"부터 "Slowly, very slowly, Merrick went up the steps and into the cab."까지의 부분을 선택해 다음과 같이 연습해 보세요:

  1. 비디오를 1회 듣고 전체 흐름을 파악합니다.
  2. 한 문장씩 멈추고, 즉시 따라서 말합니다. 발음과 강세, 억양을 최대한 비슷하게 따라하세요.
  3. 3회 이상 반복한 후, 자기 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교해 봅니다. 차이점을 찾고 다시 연습합니다.

이 과정을 통해 영어 발음 교정뿐만 아니라, 자연스러운 대화 리듬도 익힐 수 있습니다. 매일 5분씩 연습하면 IELTS 스피킹 실력도 크게 향상될 것입니다!

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.
