쉐도잉 연습: LITERATURE - Charles Darwin - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
It's completely understandable that we're often maddened by what might be called normal humanity.
2
The way in which emotions so regularly triumph over careful reasoning.
3
The power of group loyalty, even when the group doesn't seem to deserve much devotion.
4
The vast mechanisms of status-seeking that drive so much excess consumption.
5
widespread selfishness and indifference to the greater needs of distant others.
6
And we can find ourselves in the privacy of our heads
7
or in the occasional late-night outburst railing against the fools and idiots who,
8
so unfortunately, seem to occupy so many of the prominent places of power, wealth and influence in our world.
9
In such moods, the 19th century naturalist Charles Darwin has much to say to us.
10
He was born in England in 1809 into a well-to-do and intellectually distinguished family.
11
He was much influenced by visiting in his twenties the Galapagos Islands,
12
where he could see first-hand species remarkably different from those that existed elsewhere.
13
In later life, he was a quiet, rather withdrawn man.
14
He became the world's leading expert on barnacles.
15
He achieved worldwide fame for his great work on the origin of species by natural selection.
16
But Darwin felt that people had not quite understood the implications of his ideas and in 1871, when he was in his 60s,
17
he brought out a title called The Descent of Man.
18
Darwin liked to say that he had thought of calling his book The Ascent of Man, but that that would suggest some idea of progress,
19
a concept he did not believe in.
20
Rather, what Darwin wanted to do was to show that despite the obvious technical advances of past centuries,
21
modern people are still fundamentally at exactly the same moral level, or even perhaps a slightly worse level, than their remote ancestors.
22
Darwin's big point is that the basic psychological characteristics of human beings evolved to aid survival in the very remote past.
23
At the simplest level, we are generally attracted to sweet things because, in the very extended period of early human development,
24
that meant eating wild berries, which are great for our health.
25
It's only been in very recent times
26
that this in-built desire has turned against us and given us a craving for manufactured sugar,
27
which by Darwin's time had become a major industrial commodity.
28
We also evolved to be highly conscious of our own position within our immediate group,
29
since so much of our early survival in the past depended on that.
30
So today, being liked feels as if it is a life or death issue, precisely because in the past, it precisely was that.
31
It indicated when you would be served when the spoils of the hunt were being distributed.
32
Practically everything back then depended on having a mate and reproducing and so our minds are massively preoccupied by questions of reproduction,
33
even though today this is not actually central to our own individual survival or even happiness.
34
And obviously, emotional behaviour is much earlier and much more deeply rooted than elaborate reasoning,
35
which is a very recent and still terribly fragile development in human culture.
36
We can put on clothes and drive in cars, but we are still carrying, Charles Darwin insists, our primate heritage.
37
And that, though disappointing, is not really our fault, it is simply a fact we need to get used to.
38
Charles Darwin teaches us in his great work The Descent of
39
Man to feel compassion for the very large primitive part of who we all are and will always be.

Thank you.

이 영상으로 연습하는 방법

  1. 먼저 말하지 않고 영상을 끝까지 듣고 모르는 단어를 적어 둡니다.
  2. 보통 속도로 한 문장씩 섀도잉하고, 화자의 리듬과 맞을 때까지 반복합니다.
  3. 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, survival, remote, depend 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.

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.
