1
In the year 1014, Byzantine Emperor Basil the Second defeated the Bulgarian army and captured 15 thousand prisoners.
2
He could've killed them, but he had a different idea.
3
He wanted to weaken his opponents for decades to come.
4
So he ordered that 99 out of every 100 prisoners be blinded.
5
The 100th to be spared one eye to guide the rest back home, forcing their communities to care for them for the rest of their lives.
6
Today, humans are subject to an attack just as cynical as this by a league of supervillians called NTDs.
7
One in seven humans on the planet suffers from one or more NTDs, more than the entire population of Europe.
8
They do unimaginable damage, by crippling countless people, they destroy billions of dollars in income each year, weaken communities, and slow progress.
9
What are these monsters straight out of a horror movie, seeking to wreak havoc on our species?
10
NTDs are caused by a vast range of different parasites such as worms, amoebae, bacteria, or viruses.
11
The symptoms they cause are just as diverse and truly the stuff of nightmares.
12
Some, like hookworms, compete with children's brains and bodies for nutrition, stunting growth, and impairing intelligence.
13
Some NTDs cause blindness as the result of awful eye infections.
14
Other parasites confine patients to bed for months, and damage internal organs, often shortening lifespans drastically.
15
Yet others cause horrible disfigurements that lead to social stigma, a life lived in shame, and unemployment.
16
There are also a few that are incredibly agonizing. They cause continuous itching, or horrible pain.
17
In fact, let's introduce you to one of them: Dracun culiasis.
18
If you accidentally drink water infected by it, you won't notice anything for a year.
19
Until one day, you suddenly see a blister on your leg.
20
The worm breaks out of the skin to release new larvae.
21
The only way to remove it is to slowly pull it out of your leg, centimeter by centimeter, over the course of several weeks, because Dracun culiasis is now up to a meter long.
22
We can all agree that we should kill such parasites with fire.
23
That's why we declared war on them, pleading to eradicate most of them by 2020, and we tried doing that very hard.
24
In 1985, there were 3.5 million cases of Dracun culiasis all over the world.
25
In 2015, there were 22.
26
We killed 99.999% of these little monsters.
27
It will be the first parasite we eradicate for good very soon.
28
So, even if they don't generate big headlines like Ebola did, actually, amazing things have happened when it comes to NTDs.
29
All NTDs have one thing in common: they preferably attack humans who live in the most isolated communities, and who are least able to defend themselves.
30
There are villages that are 500 kilometers from the nearest health facility, with no roads anywhere.
31
So even if a remedy is available, what if it means going on an odyssey to get it to the patients?
32
This called for an attack using brute force.
33
To stamp out NTDs once and for all, what's possibly the biggest medical program in human history was launched, unmatched in scale.
34
Organizations from all fields are working together right now to eliminate ten of these NTDs forever.
35
Ironically, every NTD is, in fact, preventable or treatable.
36
But most of them can only be controlled by giving medicine to every person in all high-risk areas.
37
That means millions and millions of doses of medicine, often for several NTDs at a time, over the course of years, in countries where there is no infrastructure.
38
Governments and health organizations just couldn't do that by themselves.
39
Here, humanity got an opportunity to show off what the industrialized production of medicine can achieve.
40
The pharma industry stepped in to distribute the necessary drugs for free, and promised to keep doing it until those ten diseases are gone.
41
By 2020, nearly $18 billion worth of drugs will have been distributed, the largest drug donation the world has ever seen.
42
They also helped make sure the drugs actually get to where they're needed.
43
In 2015 alone, these treatments reached over 850 million people, more than the population of the EU and the US combined.
44
Bad things happening generates headlines.
45
Hundreds of millions of people overcoming extremely destructive diseases, in an unprecedented act of cooperation doesn't.
46
Stories like this one are not told often enough.
47
Good things happen all the time, moving humanity closer to a future with no suffering.
48
So, if you or one of your friends are in need of uplifting news, share this video with them.
49
We, as a species, really can do great things with no other motivation than to help each other.
50
It's good to remember that from time to time.

맥락 및 배경

이 비디오는 "가장 잔인한 기생충 – 무시된 열대병 – NTDs"라는 제목 아래, 인류가 직면한 다양한 기생충 질병에 대한 심각성을 다루고 있습니다. 기생충이 인간에게 미치는 피해는 예상보다 훨씬 크고, 이러한 질병들은 고립된 지역 사회에서 특히 만연합니다. 오늘날, 전 세계 인구의 7분의 1이 이러한 질병 중 하나 이상을 앓고 있으며, 이는 유럽의 전체 인구보다도 많은 수치입니다. 기생충은 자주 눈에 띄지 않지만, 그 피해는 엄청납니다. 이 내용을 바탕으로 영어 공부를 통해 효과적으로 영어 회화 능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 모색해보겠습니다.

일상 소통을 위한 상위 5개 구문

  • What are these monsters? - 이들 괴물은 무엇인가요?
  • They destroy billions of dollars in income each year. - 매년 수십억 달러의 수입을 파괴합니다.
  • There are villages that are 500 kilometers from the nearest health facility. - 가장 가까운 의료 시설에서 500킬로미터 떨어진 마을들이 있습니다.
  • Every NTD is preventable or treatable. - 모든 NTD는 예방 가능하거나 치료할 수 있습니다.
  • Good things happen all the time. - 좋은 일은 항상 발생합니다.

단계별 쉐도잉 가이드

이 비디오의 내용은 영어 말하기의 여러 측면을 포함하고 있어, 영어 쉐도잉 연습에 적합합니다. 아래의 단계를 통해 효율적으로 연습해 보세요:

  1. 비디오 시청: 처음에 비디오를 전체 시청하여 맥락을 이해합니다.
  2. 부분 반복: 비디오의 짧은 구문을 정지하고, 해당 부분을 따라 말하며 발음을 연습합니다. 예를 들어, "What are these monsters?"라는 질문을 반복해서 말하세요.
  3. 염두에 두기: 어려운 단어와 문장을 파악하세요. 필요하다면 사전에서 의미를 확인하고 여러 번 반복하세요.
  4. 영상 소리 줄이기: 비디오의 소리를 약하게 하고, 자신의 목소리로 대체하여 훈련하세요. 이렇게 하면 자신의 발음과 억양을 개선할 수 있습니다.
  5. 반복 연습: 영상을 여러 번 보면서 반복적인 연습을 통해 유창함을 증가시키세요. 자신의 목소리를 녹음하여 발음을 비교하는 것도 좋습니다.

이러한 과정은 특히 IELTS 스피킹에서 도움이 될 것이며, 전반적인 영어 실력을 향상시킬 수 있는 좋은 기회입니다. 매일 유튜브 영어 공부와 함께 이러한 쉐도잉 연습을 병행하여, 자신만의 shadow speech를 개발해 보세요.

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.
