There were over two hundred models, so I was spoilt for choice.

Whenever I found a good pair, I'd spot a better one,

The study suggested that too much choice can stop us from choosing.

Yet they felt worse about the jobs they'd accepted!

27
They were more anxious, and they kept doubting their decision.
더 불안해했고, 자기 결정을 계속 의심했어요.
28
Options seem endless, so we assume the perfect one exists.
선택지가 끝없어 보이니까, 완벽한 게 분명 있을 거라고 생각하게 돼요.
29
We can't stop thinking that another choice might have been better.
다른 걸 골랐으면 더 나았을지도 모른다는 생각을 멈출 수가 없죠.
30
These days, I've become a proud satisficer.
요즘 저는 당당한 만족자가 됐어요.
31
I choose three options, and I give myself one evening.
선택지를 3개로 고르고, 저한테 딱 하룻저녁만 줘요.
32
Last month, I bought a new laptop in under an hour!

33
It probably isn't the best one, but I love it.
아마 최고는 아니겠지만, 저는 정말 마음에 들어요.
34
If you had only three options, you'd decide in minutes,
선택지가 3개뿐이라면, 몇 분 만에 결정하실 거고,
35
and you'd probably feel happier, too.
아마 더 행복하다고 느끼실 거예요.
36
So next time you're stuck, make your list shorter.
그러니까 다음에 고민될 때는, 목록을 줄여 보세요.
37
Good enough is often exactly what we need.
'이 정도면 충분해'가 바로 우리에게 필요한 것일 때가 많아요.
38
Thank you, and good luck with your next choice!
감사합니다. 다음 선택도 행운을 빌어요!

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.
