1
What's your sign?
2
In Western astrology, it's a constellation determined by when your birthday falls in the calendar.
3
But according to the Chinese zodiac, or sheng xiao, it's your shu xiang, meaning the animal assigned to your birth year.
4
And of the many myths explaining these animal signs and their arrangement, The most enduring one is that of the great race.
5
As the story goes, Yu Di, or Jade Emperor, ruler of the heavens, wanted to devise a way to measure time.
6
So, he organized a race.
7
The first 12 animals to make it across the river would
8
earn a spot on the zodiac calendar in the order they arrived.
9
The rat rose with the sun to get an early start.
10
But on the way into the river, he met the horse, the tiger, and the ox.
11
Because the rat was small and couldn't swim very well, he asked the bigger animals for help.
12
While the tiger and horse refused, the kind-hearted ox agreed to carry the rat across.
13
Yet, just as they were about to reach the other side, the rat jumped off the ox's head and secured first place.
14
The ox came in second, with the powerful tiger right behind him.
15
The rabbit, too small to battle the current, nimbly hopped across stones and logs to come in fourth.
16
Next came the dragon, who could have flown directly across, but stopped to help some creatures she had encountered on the way.
17
After her came the horse, galloping across the river.
18
But just as she got across, the snake slithered by.
19
The startled horse reared back, letting the snake sneak into sixth place.
20
The Jade Emperor looked out at the river and spotted the sheep, the monkey, and the rooster, all atop a raft, working together to push it through the weeds.
21
When they made it across, the trio agreed to give eighth place to the sheep, who had had been the most comforting and harmonious of them, followed by the monkey and the rooster.
22
Next came the dog, scrambling onto the shore.
23
He was a great swimmer, but frolicked in the water for so long that he only managed to come in 11th.
24
The final spot was claimed by the pig, who had gotten hungry and stopped to eat and nap, before finally waddling across the finish line.
25
And so, each year is associated with one of the animals in this order, with the cycle starting over every 60 years.
26
Why 60 and not 12?
27
Well, the traditional Chinese calendar is made up of two overlapping systems.
28
The animals of the zodiac are associated with what's called the 12 earthly branches, or 十二地支.
29
Another system, the 10 heavenly stems, or 十天干, is linked with the five classical elements of metal,
30
金, wood, 木, water, 水, fire, 火, and earth, 土.
31
Each element is assigned 阴, or 阳, creating a 10-year cycle.
32
When the 12 animals of the earthly branches are matched with the five elements, plus the yin or the yang of the heavenly stems,
33
it creates 60 years of different combinations, known as a sexagenary cycle, or gan zhi.
34
So someone born in 1980 would have the sign of yang metal monkey, while someone born in 2007 would be Yin Fire Pig.
35
In fact, you can also have an inner animal based on your birth month, a true animal based on your birth date, and a secret animal based on your birth hour.
36
It was the great race that supposedly determined which animals were enshrined in the Chinese zodiac.
37
But as the system spread through Asia, other cultures made changes to reflect their communities.
38
So if you consult the Vietnamese zodiac, you may discover that you're a cat, not a rabbit.
39
And if you're in Thailand, a mythical snake called a naga replaces the dragon.
40
So whether or not you play stock in what the zodiac says about you as an individual, it certainly reveals much about the culture it comes from.

연습 팁

이 비디오에서 말하는 속도는 비교적 느린 편입니다. 따라서 shadowing을 연습할 때 발음과 억양을 주의 깊게 따라 해보세요. 각 문장의 끝부분에서 자연스럽게 멈추고, 새로 배운 어휘를 사용하여 자신의 문장을 만들어 보세요. 이렇게 하면 shadow speak 및 shadow speech의 효과를 극대화할 수 있습니다. 또한, 문장을 암기하기 위해 반복적으로 듣고 말하는 것을 추천합니다. IELTS 스피킹 시험 준비에도 좋습니다. 매일 조금씩 연습하여 자연스럽게 영어로 표현할 수 있는 능력을 기르세요.

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.
