Chapter 6 Outside the Hospital Merrick had a lot of friends now,
2
but he was more like a child than a man.
3
He could read about things and talk to his visitors, but he could not go out of the hospital by himself.
4
He thought and played like a child.
5
After Christmas, he wanted to go to the theatre.
6
This was very difficult, because I did not want the people in the theatre to see him.
7
But a kind lady from the theatre, Mrs. Kendall, helped us.
8
We bought tickets for a box at the side of the theatre.
9
We went to the theatre in a cab with dark windows, and we went into the theatre by a door at the back, the Queen's door.
10
Nobody saw us.
11
Three nurses sat at the front of the box, and Merrick and I sat in the dark behind them.
12
Nobody in the theatre could see us, but we could see the play.
13
It was a children's Christmas play.
14
Merrick loved it.
15
It was a most wonderful, exciting story.
16
Often he laughed, and sometimes he tried to sing like the children in the theatre.
17
He was like a child.
18
For him, everything in the story was true.
19
Once he was very afraid, because the bad man in the play was angry and had a knife.
20
At first, Merrick wanted to leave the theatre, but I stopped him.
21
Then he was very angry with this bad man in the play.
22
He hit his hand on his chair and stood up and talked to the man, but nobody heard him.
23
When the bad man went to prison, Merrick laughed.
24
Merrick thought the beautiful young lady in the play was wonderful.
25
He wanted to talk to her, too.
26
At the end of the play, he was very happy, because she married a good young man.
27
He remembered this play for a long time, and he talked a lot about the people in it.
28
"'What do you think they did after we left?' he asked me.
29
"'Where do the young lady and the young man live?
30
"'What are they doing now?' "'I don't know,' I said.
31
"'Perhaps they live in the country?' Merrick thought about this for a long time.
32
Then he said, "'Dr. Treves, can I go to the country, please?
33
"'I saw the country once from a train, but I never went there.
34
"'I often read about it in books.
35
"'It's very beautiful, isn't it?
36
"'I would like to see it.' The visit to the theatre was difficult,
37
but a visit to the country was more difficult.
38
But again, one of his new friends helped us.
39
She had a small house in the country, and Merrick could stay in it for the summer, she said.
40
I took Merrick to the country in a train with dark windows, so nobody could see him.
41
Then we went in a cab to the country house.
42
There were a lot of trees near the house, but no people lived near it.
43
A countryman brought food to the house every day, but no people came near it.
44
I stayed with him that night.
45
At night, it was very dark and quiet.
46
In the morning, hundreds of birds sang in the trees, and everything outside the house was green.
47
Merrick walked under the big trees, looking at things happily, and singing his strange song.
48
I went back to London, but Merrick stayed there for six weeks.
49
He was wonderfully happy.
50
Every week, he wrote me a letter.
51
Apple Tree House, West Wycombe, Berkshire, 21 July, 1889.
52
Dear Dr. Treves, I had a wonderful day again today.
53
It was very warm, so I walked under the trees and sat by a stream.
54
The water in the stream made a beautiful noise, like singing.
55
Did you know that?
56
I listened to it for two hours.
57
Lots of little birds came near me.
58
One had a red body in front and a brown back.
59
I gave it some bread, and it sat on my hand.
60
A lot of birds are my friends now.
61
I watched the fish in the stream, too.
62
They were very exciting, because they move very fast.
63
One minute they were there, and the next minute I couldn't see them.
64
But I waited quietly, and they always came back.
65
I put my hand in the water, but I couldn't touch them.
66
I met a big dog yesterday.
67
It made a very loud noise, but I was not afraid.
68
I sat down quietly and looked at it, and it came and smelt my hand.
69
I saw it again today, and gave it some bread.
70
It likes me now.
71
I am going to put some flowers from the country in this letter.
72
There are hundreds of flowers here. Did you know that?
73
I like the little blue ones best, but they are all beautiful.
74
I have lots of them in my room.
75
I give them water every morning.
76
Little flowers are very thirsty, you know.
77
I am very happy here, Doctor, but I want to see you again soon, too.
78
With love from your friend, Joseph Merrick.
79
At the end of the summer, he came back to London.
80
He was very well, and his skin looked much better.
81
He talked about the country a lot, but he was happy to see his friends and his books again, too.
82
Thank you.
83
Thank you.
84
Thank you.

이 비디오로 스피킹 연습하는 이유

병원 밖의 메릭의 이야기는 일상적이지만 감정이 풍부한 대화를 통해 자연스러운 영어 표현을 배우기에 좋습니다. 특히 shadowspeak이나 영어 쉐도잉 연습에 적합한데, 이야기의 흐름이 자연스러워 발음과 리듬을 따라하기 쉽습니다. 또한 IELTS 스피킹 준비에도 도움이 되는 상황 설명과 의견 표현이 많아 실제 의사소통 능력을 키울 수 있습니다. 메릭의 순수한 감정 표현은 공감을 불러일으키면서, 다양한 상황에서의 영어 사용법을 익힐 수 있는 기회를 제공합니다.

문맥 속 문법과 표현

  • He could read about things and talk to his visitors, but he could not go out... : 'could'를 사용한 과거 능력 표현. 'but'로 대조를 강조하여 복잡한 문장 구조를 연습할 수 있습니다.
  • What do you think they did after we left? : 'do you think'를 포함한 의문문 구조. 간접 질문의 형태로, IELTS 스피킹에서 자주 사용되는 표현입니다.
  • Merrick thought about this for a long time. : 'think about ~ for a long time'으로 시간을 나타내는 구문. 일상 대화에서 자주 사용되며, 자연스러운 표현을 익히기에 좋습니다.

발음의 함정

이 비디오에서 주의해야 할 발음이 몇 가지 있습니다. 영어 발음 교정을 위해 주목해보세요. 'theatre'는 /ˈθiːətər/로 발음하지만, 구어체에서는 /ˈθiːtər/로 줄여서 말하기도 합니다. 'country'의 'ou'는 /ʌ/로 발음하며, 'prison'은 /ˈprɪzn/으로 끝 부분이 약하게 발음됩니다. 또한 'Merrick'의 이름은 /ˈmerɪk/로 발음하는데, 'e'의 발음이 약해서 주의가 필요합니다. shadow speak 연습을 할 때 이런 세부 사항을 주의하면 발음이 더 자연스러워집니다.

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.
