Okay, so there's a story about how they're restoring the famous Marcus Aurelius column in Rome.
2
If you don't know about the column,
3
it's a masterpiece of sculpture and carving depicting the 14 years that Marcus Aurelius spends at war with the Marco Mani tribes.
4
And they put up this 94-foot column in his honor that still stands to this day.
5
There's actually a stoic lesson in this because,
6
yes, 19 centuries later, a monument to his accomplishments still stands.
7
And even though it's a little worn down and needs some restoration,
8
you might say that this disproves Marcus's reminders and meditations that posthumous fame doesn't last and no one will remember him.
9
But I actually think the fact that it's still there is precisely the point.
10
Because if you look at the top of this column,
11
there's not a statue of Marcus Aurelius on top.
12
It's actually St. Paul.
13
In the 16th century, Pope Sixtus V decides to take the monument to Marcus Aurelius and reuse it for his own purposes.
14
And in the end, that's what Marcus Aurelius' greatest accomplishment becomes,
15
a pedestal for somebody else.
16
And that is what Marcus is saying.
17
That's what history does to all of us,
18
even those of us famous enough to be remembered for one year or one century or 1,000 years.
19
History takes us and it remixes and reuses us.
20
It perverts us and undermines our legacy.
21
It contradicts us, it absorbs us,
22
and it uses us for our own purposes.
23
On a long enough timeline,
24
everyone's will and legacy is ignored.
25
Their graves are lost and obscured.
26
Their memory is written over.
27
And we should remember this before it's too late.
28
And let's say it didn't happen.
29
Let's say it was still shiny and gleaming.
30
Why would that matter?
31
He says in meditations, Meditations people who are excited by posthumous fame forget
32
that the people who remember them will die soon too and
33
that those After them in turn until their memory passed from one to another like a candle flame
34
Gutters and goes out and then he says suppose that that actually wasn't true.
35
Perhaps you are remembered forever He says what good would that do you?
36
He says I don't just mean when you're dead
37
But in your own lifetime what use is praise except to make your lifestyle a little more comfortable?
38
He's trying to remind himself that reputation,
39
fame, impressing people, that doesn't matter.
40
Who you are as a person,
41
that's the only thing that counts.
42
Who you are as a person to the people around you.
43
Did you do good with the resources that you had?
44
It's like the Shelley poem about Ozymandias, right?
45
The statue falling over in the desert,
46
two legs, the head there laying in the sand.
47
A colossal wreck, he says, boundless and bare even though this person was so powerful and important in life,
48
very little of it remains.
49
Now this is not the state of Marcus Aurelius' monument.
50
You can go see it, it's still standing there.
51
I've seen it myself.
52
And yet, the same stoic lesson is actually there if you look for it.
53
Okay.
54
So if he's saying that being remembered is not important,
55
that posthumous fame is worthless,
56
what is he saying that does matter?
57
Well, he does address this in meditations too.
58
He says, forget everything else.
59
Keep hold of this alone and remember it.
60
Each of us lives only now, this brief instant.
61
The rest has been lived already or is impossible to see.
62
The span we live is small,
63
small as the corner of earth in which we live it,
64
small as even the greatest renown,
65
passed from mouth to mouth by short-lived stick figures,
66
ignorant alike of themselves and those long dead.
67
He's saying that all you have is this moment.
68
All you have is who you are in this moment,
69
creating some enormous legacy that other people get to live in,
70
focusing on impressing people who you will never meet.
71
What good will that do you?
72
He's saying what matters is that you do good now,
73
that you live a good life,
74
that you live a good life as a good person.
75
That's what Marcus Aurelius is striving to do in meditations.
76
And the irony is in not caring about posthumism,
77
in not caring about his accomplishments lasting,
78
in just trying to be a good man,
79
to concentrate on what he has to do as he writes in meditations,
80
to fix his eyes on it,
81
reminding himself that his tax is just to be a good human being and to do it,
82
he says, without hesitation, to speak the truth as he sees it,
83
with kindness and with humility and without hypocrisy,
84
in that, ironically, he does create a real legacy and we are still talking about him today.
85
Sometime around the year 170 AD,
86
the most powerful man in the world sat down to write.
87
His name was Marcus Aurelius.
88
And miraculously, these writings survived.
89
And within them are some of the greatest and wisest insights ever put down.
90
Sometimes these insights are really obvious.
91
They jump out off the page at you,
92
but other ones you have to return to.
93
You have to understand the deeper context.
94
You have to understand what he meant,
95
where he was coming from,
96
why he would have been saying this to fully understand him.
97
Sometimes you're just not old enough yet.
98
Sometimes you just haven't read it enough times,
99
which is why over the last couple of years,
100
we developed this deep dive into Marcus Realizes Meditations.
101
We really struggled to come up with a title for it,
102
but we just call it How to Read Meditations.
103
a guide, a course, a challenge,
104
a companion for understanding one of the most important works ever put down in any language,
105
in any era, by any person.
106
How do you take the insights from 2,000 years ago from one of the most impressive people to ever live
107
and apply them to your daily life?
108
And we'd love to have you join us.
109
We're digging into it here in the month of March.
110
Mark Stavilius was born in March.
111
We're calling it Mark Stavilius Month here at Daily Stoic.
112
And we'd love to have you.
113
And you can join us,

인기 동영상

이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 하는 이유

이 영상은 고대 로마의 마르쿠스 아우렐리우스 동상과 그의 스토아 철학의 교훈에 대해 이야기합니다. 특정 주제에 대한 드라마틱한 설명과 깊이 있는 고찰은 말하기 연습에 매우 유용합니다. 스피킹 연습을 통해 이와 같은 복잡한 개념을 전달하는 능력을 키울 수 있습니다. 특히 IELTS 스피킹을 준비하는 수험생들에게는 이러한 강력한 언어를 사용하는 것이 중요합니다. 비디오의 내용을 바탕으로 연습하면 자신감을 높이고 자연스럽게 영어를 구사할 수 있게 됩니다. 또한, shadow speak 방법론을 통해 비디오의 음성을 따라 하며, 발음과 억양을 익힐 수 있습니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현

영상에서 사용된 몇 가지 핵심 표현을 분석해보겠습니다:

  • “Even though”: 비록 ~일지라도. 예를 들어 “Even though it's a little worn down...”과 같이 사용되어, 대조되는 상황을 강조합니다.
  • “What good would that do you?”: 그게 너에게 무슨 소용이 있을까? 의문을 제기하며 상대방에게 스스로 생각하게 만듭니다.
  • “It's like”: ~와 같다. 커다란 예시를 통해 감정을 전달하며 청중이 이해하기 쉽게 돕습니다.
  • “What matters is”: 중요한 것은 ~이다. 이 표현을 통해 핵심 메시지를 명확하게 전달합니다.

이러한 표현들은 실제 대화에서 자주 사용됩니다. shadowspeaks와 같은 기법을 사용해 반복적으로 연습하면 자연스럽게 활용할 수 있습니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

비디오에서 몇 가지 발음이 어려운 단어들이 있습니다:

  • Accomplishments: 이 단어는 길고 복잡하여 쉽게 발음하기 어렵습니다. 각 음절을 분리해 연습해보세요.
  • Reminds: 'r'과 'm' 소리의 전이에서 실수가 발생할 수 있으니 주의가 필요합니다.
  • Perverts: 이 단어는 강세 배열이 독특하여 혼동될 수 있습니다. 어미를 강조하는 연습이 필요합니다.

정기적으로 shadowing site의 자료를 활용해 발음을 개선하면 더욱 자연스러운 발화를 할 수 있게 됩니다. 또한, 이처럼 어려운 단어를 연습하는 것은 언어 능력 향상에 큰 도움이 될 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.
