1
For me, it's a cause of some upset that more anglophones don't enjoy language.
2
Music is enjoyable, it seems,
3
so are dance and other athletic forms of movement.
4
People seem to be able to find sensual and sensuous pleasure in almost anything but words these days.
5
Words, it seems, belong to other people.
6
Anyone who expresses themselves with originality,
7
delight and verbal freshness is more likely to be mocked,
8
distrusted or disliked than welcomed.
9
The free and happy use of words appears to be considered elitist or pretentious.
10
Sadly, desperately sadly,
11
the only people who seem to bother with language in public today bother with it in quite the wrong way.
12
They write letters to broadcasters and newspapers in which they are rude and haughty about other people's usage,
13
and in which they show off their own superior knowledge of how language should be.
14
I hate that, and I particularly hate the fact that so many of these pedants assume that I'm on their side.
15
When asked to join in a let's persuade this supermarket chain to get rid of their five items or less sign,
16
I never join in.
17
Yes, I am aware of the technical distinction between less
18
and fewer and between uninterested and disinterested and infer and imply
19
and all the rest of them but none of these are of importance to me.
20
None of these are of importance, I said there.
21
You'll notice the old pedantic me would have insisted on none of them is of importance.
22
Well, I'm glad to say I've outgrown that silly approach to language.
23
Oscar Wilde, and there have been few greater and more complete lords of language in the past thousand years,
24
once included with a manuscript he was delivering to his publishers a compliment slip,
25
in which he had scribbled the injunction,
26
I'll leave you to tidy up the woulds and shoulds,
27
wills and shalls, that's and which's,
28
etc. Which gives us all encouragement to feel less guilty, don't you think?
29
There are all kinds of pedants around,
30
with more time to read and imitate Lynn Truss and John Humphreys than to write poems,
31
love letters, novels and stories, it seems.
32
They whip out their sharpies and take away and add apostrophes from public signs,
33
shake their heads at prepositions which end sentences and mutter at split infinitives and misspellings,
34
But do they bubble and froth and slobber and cream with joy at language?
35
Do they ever let the tripping of the tips of their
36
tongues against the tops of their teeth transport them to giddy, euphoric bliss?
37
Do they ever yoke impossible words together for the sound sex of it?
38
Do they use language to seduce,
39
charm, excite, please, affirm, and tickle those they talk to?
40
Do they?
41
I doubt it.
42
Their two farting busy sneering at a greengrocer's less than perfect use of the apostrophe.
43
Well, sod them to Hades.
44
They think they're guardians of language.
45
They're no more guardians of language than the kennel club is the guardian of dog kind.
46
And the worst of this sorry bunch of semi-educated losers are
47
those who seem to glory in being irritated by nouns becoming verbs.
48
How dense and deft a language development do you have to be?
49
If you don't like nouns becoming verbs,
50
then for heaven's sake avoid Shakespeare,
51
who made a doing word out of a thing word every chance he got.
52
He tabled the motion and chaired the meeting in which nouns were made verbs.
53
I suppose new examples from our time might take some getting used to.
54
He actioned it that day,
55
for instance, strike some as a verbing too far,
56
but we've been sanctioning, envisioning,
57
propositioning, and stationing for a long time, so why not actioning?
58
Because it's ugly, whinge the pedants.
59
Well, it's only ugly because it's new and you don't like it.
60
Ugly in the way Picasso,
61
Stravinsky, and Eliot were once thought ugly,
62
and before them Monet, Mahler, and Baudelaire.
63
Pedants will also claim, with what I'm sure is eye-popping insincerity and shameless disingenuousness,
64
that their fight is only for clarity.
65
Well, this is all very well,
66
but there's no doubt what,
67
for example, five items or less means.
68
Just as only adult can't tell from the context
69
and from the age
70
and education of the speaker whether disinterested is used in the proper sense of non-partisan or in the improper sense of uninterested.
71
No, the claim to be defending language for the sake of
72
clarity almost never ever holds water nor does the idea
73
that following grammatical rules in language demonstrates clarity of thought and intelligence of mind.
74
Having said this, I admit that if you want to communicate well for the sake of passing an exam or job interview,
75
then it's obvious that wildly original and excessively heterodox language could land you in the soup.
76
I think what offends examiners and employers when confronted with extremely informal,
77
unpunctuated and haywire language is the implication of not caring that underlies it.
78
You slip into a suit for an interview and you dress your language up too.
79
You can wear what you like linguistically or sartorily when you're at home or with friends,
80
but most people accept the need to smarten up under some circumstances.
81
It's only considerate.
82
But that's an issue of fitness, of suitability.
83
It has nothing to do with correctness.
84
There's no right language or wrong language any more than there are right or wrong clothes.
85
Context, convention and circumstance are all.
86
I can't deny that a small part of me still clings to a ghastly Radio 4 newspaper letter-writer pedantry,
87
but I fight against it.
88
In much the same way,
89
I try to fight against my gluttony,
90
anger, selfishness, and other vices.
91
I must confess, for example,
92
that I find it hard not to wince when someone aspirates the word,
93
and it is a word, H-A-I-T-C-H.
94
Thank you.

이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 하는 이유는?

스티븐 프라이의 이 비디오는 언어에 대한 깊은 이해와 사랑을 표현하고 있습니다. 유튜브 영어 공부를 하면서, 우리는 단순히 단어와 문법을 넘어서 언어의 아름다움을 느낄 수 있습니다. 이 비디오를 통해 영어 회화 연습을 하면, 자신의 감정을 표현하고 소통하는 데 있어서 더 많은 자신감을 가질 수 있습니다. 프라이가 제시하는 다양한 표현과 감정의 뉘앙스를 배움으로써, 여러분은 좀 더 생동감 있는 대화를 나눌 수 있게 될 것입니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현들

스티븐 프라이의 대화 속에서 몇 가지 중요한 문법 구조와 표현을 분석해보겠습니다:

  • less와 fewer의 사용: 프라이가 언급한 것처럼, 'less'와 'fewer'의 기술적 구분은 중요할 수 있지만, 일상적인 대화에서는 큰 의미가 아닙니다. 이러한 점에서 실용적인 영어를 배우는 것이 중요합니다.
  • 위탁된 고백: "I'll leave you to tidy up the woulds and shoulds"와 같은 표현은 다른 사람에게 책임을 맡기면서도 부드러운 뉘앙스를 전달합니다. 이는 대화를 보다 유연하게 만듭니다.
  • 의문문에서의 변화: 프라이는 감정이나 의견을 표현할 때 질문의 형태를 사용하는 것을 선호합니다. 이는 듣는 이로 하여금 생각하게 만들며, 단순한 정보 전달을 넘어 대화에 깊이를 제공합니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

이 비디오에서 주의해야 할 몇 가지 발음 문제를 지적하겠습니다. 스티븐 프라이의 특유의 억양과 발음은 모방하기 어려울 수 있으며, 특히 다음의 단어와 구문에서 어려움을 겪을 수 있습니다:

  • pedant: 이 단어는 발음할 때 ‘페던트’가 아닌 ‘페단트’로 발음됩니다. 발음 교정은 영어를 더 유창하게 구사하는 데 도움이 됩니다.
  • irritated: 여러 음절을 포함한 이 단어는 원활하게 발음하기가 까다로울 수 있습니다. 정확한 발음을 위해 반복 연습이 필요합니다.
  • nuance: 이 단어는 ‘뉴앙스’로 자주 잘못 발음됩니다. 영어 발음 교정 시 주의해야 할 부분입니다.

이 비디오를 통해 언어의 복잡함과 아름다움을 함께 느끼고, 발음과 문법을 자연스럽게 익혀보세요. shadowspeak를 활용해 보시면, 영어 회화가 더욱 즐거워질 것입니다. 이 과정을 통해 자신감을 가지고 대화하실 수 있을 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.
