A few years ago, I got one of those spam emails.
3
And it managed to get through my spam filter,
4
I'm not quite sure how,
5
but it's turned up in my inbox,
6
and it was from a guy called Solomon Odonka.
7
I know.
8
It went like this.
9
It said, Hello, James Veitch.
10
I have an interesting business proposal I want to share with you, Solomon.
11
Now, my hand was kind of hovering on the delete button.
12
As you are, I was looking at my phone,
13
I thought, I could just delete this,
14
or I could do what I think we've all always wanted to do.
15
And I said, Solomon, your email intrigues me.
16
And the game was afoot.
17
He said, dear James Veach,
18
we shall be shipping gold to you.
19
You will earn 10% of any gold you distribute.
20
So I knew I was dealing with a professional.
21
I said, how much is it worth?
22
He said, we will start with a smaller quantity.
23
I was like, aww.
24
And then he said, of 25 kilograms,
25
the worst should be about 2.5 million.
26
I said, Solomon, if we're going to do it, let's go big.
27
I can handle it.
28
I can handle it.
29
How much gold do you have?
30
He said, it's not a matter of how much gold I have,
31
but this is your capable of handling.
32
What, we could start with 50 kilograms as a trial shipment.
33
I said, 50 kilograms?
34
There's no point doing this at all,
35
no such as shipping at least a metric ton.
36
So what do you do for a living?
37
I said, I'm a hedge fund executive bank manager.
38
This isn't the first time I've shipped bullion, my friend.
39
No, no, no. Then I started to panic.
40
I was like, look, where are you based?
41
I don't know about you,
42
but I think we're going via the postal service.
43
It ought to be signed for.
44
That's a lot of gold.
45
He said, it will not be easy to convince my company to do a larger quantity shipment.
46
I said, Solomon, I'm completely with you on this one.
47
I'm putting together a visual for you to take him to the board meeting, hold tight.
48
This is what I sent Solomon.
49
I don't know if we have any statisticians in the house,
50
but there's definitely something going on.
51
I said, Solomon, attach this email,
52
you'll find a helpful chart.
53
I've had one of my assistants run the numbers.
54
We need to be shipping as much gold as possible.
55
There's always a moment where they try to tug your heartstrings,
56
and this was it for Solomon.
57
He said, I will be so much happier if the deal goes well,
58
because I'm going to get a very good commission as well.
59
And I said, that's amazing,
60
what are you going to spend your cut on?
61
And he said, on real estate, what about you?
62
I thought about it for a long time.
63
And I said one word.
64
Hummus.
65
It's going, please.
66
I was in Sainsbury's the other day,
67
and there were like 30 different varieties.
68
Also, you can cut up carrots,
69
and you can dip them.
70
Have you ever done that?
71
Solomon!
72
He said, I have to go to bed now.
73
Till tomorrow, have sweet dreams.
74
I didn't know what to say.
75
I said, bonsoir, my golden nugget.
76
Bonsoir.
77
Guys, you have to understand,
78
this has been going for like weeks,
79
albeit hitherto the greatest weeks of my life,
80
but I had to knock it on the head.
81
It was getting a bit out of hand.
82
James, do you want to come out for a drink?
83
I was like, I can't,
84
mate, I'm expecting an email about some gold.
85
So I figured I had to knock it on the head,
86
I had to take it to a ridiculous conclusion.
87
So I thought I concocted a plan.
88
I said, look, Solomon, Solomon, I'm concerned about security.
89
When we email each other,
90
we need to use a code. And he agreed.
91
And I said, Solomon, I spent all night coming up with this code.
92
We need to use it in all further correspondence.
93
Lawyer!
94
Gummy bear.
95
Bank, cream egg.
96
Legal, fizzy-Cola bottle, claim peanut lemon ends,
97
documents, jelly beans, Western Union.
98
Guys, a giant gummy lizard.
99
I knew these were all words they used, right?
100
I said, please call me KitKat and all further correspondence.
101
I didn't hear back.
102
I thought, I've gone too far.
103
I've gone too far.
104
So I had to backpedal a I said,
105
look, Solomon, is the deal still on?
106
Kit-Kat.
107
Because you have to be consistent.
108
Then I did get any more back from him.
109
He said, the business is on, I'm trying .. blah, blah, blah.
110
I said, dude, you have to use the code.
111
What follow is the greatest email I've ever received?
112
I'm not joking.
113
This is what turned up in my inbox.
114
This was a good day.
115
The business is on.
116
And I'm trying to raise the balance for the gummy bear.
117
So he can submit all the needed fizzy-cola-bottled jelly beans to the cream egg for the peanut M&M's process to start.
118
Send 1,500 pounds via a giant Scammy lizard.
119
And that was so much fun, right?
120
That it got me thinking,
121
what would happen if I just spent as much time as I could replying to as many scam emails as I could?
122
And that's what I've been doing for three years on your behalf.
123
Yeah.
124
Yeah.
125
Let me tell you, crazy stuff happens when you start replying to scam e-mails.
126
It's really difficult, and I highly recommend we do it.
127
I don't think what I'm doing is mean, right?
128
You know, there are a lot of people out there who do mean things to scammers.
129
I don't think what I'm doing ...
130
All I'm doing is wasting their time.
131
And I think any time they're spending with me is time they're not spending scamming vulnerable adults out of their savings.
132
Right?
133
And if you're going to do this,
134
and I highly recommend you do,
135
get yourself a pseudonymous email address.
136
Don't use your own email address,
137
because that's exactly what I was doing at the start,
138
and it was a nightmare.
139
about penis enlargements, you know.
140
Only one of which was a legitimate ...
141
.. response to a medical question.
142
I'll tell you what, though, guys.
143
I'll tell you what.
144
Any day is a good day.
145
Any day is a good day if you receive an email that begins like this.
146
I am Winnie Mandela, the second wife of Nelson Mandela,
147
the former South African president.
148
I was like, oh, that Winnie Mandela!
149
I know so many.
150
I need to transfer 45 million dollars out of the country because of my husband Nelson's health condition.
151
Let that sink in.
152
She sent me this, which is hysterical. And this.
153
And this looks fairly legitimate,
154
this is a letter of authorization,
155
but to be honest, if there's nothing written on it,
156
it's just a shape.
157
I say, Winnie, I'm really sorry to hear of this,
158
I'm really sorry to hear of this.
159
Given that Nelson died three months ago,
160
I describe his health condition as ...
161
That's the worst health condition you can have, not being alive.
162
She said, Kindly comply with my banker's instructions, one love.
163
I said, of course, a woman with no cry.
164
She said, my banker will need transfer of $3,000.
165
One love.
166
I said, no problemo.
167
I shall share it.
168
Thank you.
169
Thank you.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?

이 비디오는 당황스러운 스팸 메일에 대처하는 상황을 담고 있습니다. 제임스 베이치의 이야기를 통해, 우리는 다양한 회화 상황에서의 대화 스킬과 유머를 배우게 됩니다. 특히 그는 메일의 발신자와의 대화에서 신중한 질문을 던지며 상황을 재미있게 끌어나갑니다. 이러한 요소들은 영어 쉐도잉 또는 영어 회화 연습에 큰 도움이 됩니다. 시청자는 실제 회화에서 쓰이는 다양한 표현과 자연스러운 말하기 패턴을 익힐 수 있습니다. 또한, 유머를 통해 긴장을 풀고 편안하게 영어를 사용하게 되는 유익한 경험을 제공합니다.

문법 및 표현 분석

비디오에서는 여러 가지 중요한 문법적 구조와 표현들이 사용됩니다. 아래는 그 중 몇 가지입니다.

  • "I could just delete this": 조건문을 활용한 표현으로, 선택의 여지를 나타냅니다.
  • "I said, Solomon, your email intrigues me": 관심을 표현하는 방법으로, 상대방에게 긍정적인 반응을 전달합니다.
  • "If we're going to do it, let's go big": 의지와 결단력을 나타내는 표현으로, 주제를 더욱 확장할 준비가 되었음을 알립니다.
  • "How much gold do you have?": 직접적인 질문을 통해 대화의 흐름을 이끌어냅니다.

이 표현들은 실제 대화에서 활용할 수 있는 유용한 문법 구조입니다. Shadow speak 또는 shadowspeak하기에 안성맞춤입니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

비디오에서 사용된 몇 가지 단어와 발음은 영어 학습자들에게 어려울 수 있습니다. 특히 주목해야 할 점은 다음과 같습니다.

  • "intrigues": '인트리그스'라고 발음되며, 종종 '인트리그'로 잘못 발음되는 경우가 많습니다.
  • "gold": '골드'로 발음되지만, 비슷한 단어들과 혼동하여 발음할 수 있습니다.
  • "shipment": '쉽먼트'에서 '쉬'와 '쩌'의 발음을 명확히 해야 합니다.

이런 발음 연습은 영어 회화에서의 유창성을 높이는 데 도움을 줄 것입니다. 영상을 시청하며 맞춰서 따라 하다 보면 발음을 개선할 기회가 제공될 것입니다. 이러한 연습은 모든 영어 쉐도잉 및 영어 회화 연습에 있어서 중요한 요소입니다.

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.
