레슨 만드는 중...
1
The End The End The End The End The End Hello?
2
Hello?
3
Can you hear me?
4
Oh, damn it!
5
Come on!
6
Some people call this the middle of nowhere.
7
You know, one of those places you fly over on your way from somewhere to somewhere else, but you wouldn't live here.
8
Folks, right now we're flying over the great state of Indiana.
9
If you'd like to take a look.
10
Well, look down next time, and you'll see us down here in the middle.
11
Orson, Indiana.
12
Heart of the heart.
13
Proud home of Little Betty's snack cakes, the demolition derby for the homeless, and the world's largest polyurethane cow.
14
So how'd I end up in the middle of the road in this get-up?
15
Here?
16
No. Oh, bars.
17
I got bars.
18
Ow!
19
Guess it all started a couple of weeks ago.
20
And no, I'm not an actual superhero.
21
Not unless you count getting my kids out the door for school every morning.
22
I made breakfast!
23
Come on, we're late!
24
Let's go, let's go!
25
That's my youngest, Brick.
26
You know how you think giving a kid a cool name will make him cool?
27
It doesn't.
28
Okay, now listen.
29
Today at recess, I don't want you wandering around alone on the perimeter.
30
All right?
31
Makes you an easy target, you know?
32
Like the gazelle that gets separated from the pack.
33
You've got to find yourself a group of kids and just stand near them.
34
You know you're my hero, right, Mom?
35
Thank you, honey.
36
Eat your pancake.
37
It's still frozen.
38
Well, look at it.
39
It'll last longer.
40
Hey Mike, have you seen that envelope with my driver's license from the DMV?
41
I need it for work.
42
Why is this place such a mess?
43
That one over there would be Axel.
44
Since he hit 15, he hibernates in his room
45
and only comes out to paw through our food and shoot off sarcastic comments.
46
Oh, rough chips.
47
Nice job, Mom.
48
Yeah, I can't hear you if you don't have pants on.
49
Mom, where's my homework?
50
Aha!
51
Okay. When did this happen?
52
Mike, look at this.
53
Look at this.
54
This is...
55
I haven't had my driver's license picture taken in seven years.
56
Okay.
57
Here's the old one.
58
Look at this.
59
What happened to me?
60
Well, back then, you're all young and shiny and wondering what your life's gonna be.
61
And now, well, now you know.
62
Ugh.
63
Mom!
64
Hey, come in here if you wanna talk to me.
65
Axel, put some pants on here.
66
Okay, maybe it was just a bad picture.
67
I mean, yikes.
68
Mike, does it ever bum you out that I'm not young and shiny anymore?
69
Well, sure, honey.
70
It's a huge bummer, but what are you gonna do?
71
Oh, shoot.
72
I wanted chips for my lunch.
73
She didn't buy any.
74
Sue, grab a pancake.
75
We're late.
76
That's Sue.
77
She's been going through a bit of an awkward stage for the past 13 years.
78
Mom, the dryer ate my leg warmers again.
79
I told you, you can't put wet things in the dryer anymore.
80
Well, I need them, because guess what?
81
I'm drying out for show choir this week.
82
I know, I know, that's not an expression parents should have on their faces
83
when their daughter tells them she's trying out for something.
84
But see, Sue had a long history of things she tried out for.
85
A long and painful history.
86
Yo debo ser exaltada en el club espanol por que soy 6.
87
Show choir.
88
Wow, super.
89
That should be fun to try out for.
90
Now listen, Dad's going to fix the dryer again, but right now I just need everybody to go.
91
Let's get out the door.
92
Come on.
93
Let's go, let's go.
94
That driver's license picture was a big wake-up call from the DMV.
95
Somehow the life had been sucked right out of me.
96
But who or what had sucked it?
97
Mom!
98
Mom!
99
Mom!
100
Mom!
101
Mom!
102
Mom, he's not gonna be my bad dad!
103
Mom!
104
Mom!
105
Mom!
106
We did teach him the word dad, didn't we?
107
We're a two-job family.
108
Mike manages a bunch of boneheads down at the quarry. For crying out loud.
109
And my latest job I'm too smart for is selling cars at Orson's last surviving car dealership.
110
Wah, wah, wah.
111
What a month, huh?
112
Frankie, don't let him intimidate you.
113
He may be the king of sales around here, but he's been rejected by the Elks Lodge.
114
Twice.
115
I'm not gonna say by who.
116
It was me.
117
Really?
118
I told him that he's a pedophile.
119
No. Yeah, he's not.
120
He's not a pedophile.
121
Wait.

이 비디오는 누구를 위한 것인가요?

초급에서 중급 수준의 영어 학습자에게 완벽한 비디오입니다. 일상 대화에서 자연스럽게 사용되는 표현을 배우고, 미국인의 일상적인 발음을 익히고 싶은 분들에게 추천해요. 특히 shadowing (쉐도잉) 연습을 통해 듣기와 말하기 실력을 동시에 키우고 싶다면, 이 대화는 훌륭한 자료가 될 거예요. "shadowspeak", "shadow speak"와 같은 용어로 검색하시는 분들도 이 비디오를 활용해 쉐도잉 연습을 해보세요!

배워서 쓸 수 있는 단어와 관용구

이 비디오에는 일상에서 자주 쓰이지만 책에서 쉽게 배우지 못하는 표현들이 많아요. 몇 가지 중요한 것을 골라봤어요:

  • the middle of nowhere: 사람이 거의 없는 먼 곳. "이 마을은 진짜 the middle of nowhere야"처럼 사용해요.
  • paw through: (애완동물이 발로 긁듯이) 아무렇게나 뒤지다. "형이 냉장고를 paw through해서 과자를 찾고 있어"처럼 써요.
  • shoot off sarcastic comments: 비꼬는 말을 날리다. "형은 항상 shoot off sarcastic comments해서 엄마를 화나게 해"처럼 사용해요.
  • perimeter: 둘레, 경계선. "운동장 perimeter에서 혼자 서지 마"처럼 말해요.

발음을 제대로 익히는 방법

이 비디오의 화자는 미국 중부 지방의 억양을 가지고 있어요. 주의깊게 들으면 알 수 있는 발음 특징이 몇 가지 있어요:

  • 축약형 발음: "I don't want you"를 "I don't wanna"로, "you know"를 "y'know"로 발음해요. 이런 축약형을 익히면 자연스러운 말하기가 가능해져요.
  • 강세와 억양: "the middle of nowhere"에서 "nowhere"에 강세를 두고, "Heart of the heart"에서 두 번째 "heart"를 높게 발음해요. 이렇게 강세와 억양을 따라하면 더욱 자연스러운 발음이 될 거예요.
  • 연음: "come on"을 "c'mon"으로, "let's go"를 "let's go"로 발음할 때, 단어 사이를 부드럽게 연결해요. 쉐도잉 연습을 할 때 이 부분을 집중해서 따라해보세요. "shadowing site"에서 이런 연습을 하면 더 효과적이에요!

이 비디오를 반복해서 듣고, shadow speech (쉐도우 스피치) 연습을 하다 보면, 자연스러운 영어 표현과 발음을 익힐 수 있을 거예요. 포기하지 마세요, 조금씩 연습하면 분명히 실력이 늘어날 거예요!

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.
