쉐도잉 연습: Tolkien Said He Would Have Refused to Go - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기
레슨 만드는 중...
1
The man who wrote the greatest adventure story in the English language was asked whether he'd have gone on one.
2
His answer, he'd have made an excuse.
3
And that answer was never broadcast.
4
It sat in a BBC archive for 51 years.
5
In 1968, the BBC filmed what turned out to be Tolkien's last ever recorded interview.
6
They aired a few extracts, then most of it went into the archive and stayed there until 2019.
7
So here's what he said about his own hero and why he'd have turned Gandalf down.
8
The one real adventure of his life, which he put almost directly into The Hobbit.
9
The language that made him fail at university. On purpose.
10
And the answer he gave when asked what moves him most in his own book.
11
Because it is not the scene you're expecting, and it is not a death.
12
That last one is the reason to stay.
13
Start with how this even exists.
14
1968. A BBC crew films J .R .R.
15
Tolkien.
16
He's in his 70s.
17
The Hobbit came out 31 years earlier.
18
The Lord of the Rings is already enormous.
19
A few extracts go out on television that year, and the rest, the majority of it, goes into the archive.
20
And there it stays.
21
1970s, 80s, 90s.
22
Through the Peter Jackson films, through the biggest fantasy boom in history, through every documentary anyone ever made about him.
23
It came back out in 2019, unearthed for a radio program.
24
51 years of Tolkien on tape unheard.
25
And the very first thing in it tells you something nobody expects about the man.
26
The Hobbit opens with a wizard turning up at a hobbit's door and talking him into a dangerous journey, so the BBC asked Tolkien the obvious question, what if that had been you?
27
His answer, if a wizard had come to me as a small boy, the situation would be totally different than that in The Hobbit.
28
Then, I should have found some excuse for not going.
29
And then the line that explains him completely, I had no desire whatever to place myself in an awkward position just for the sake of adventure,
30
not danger, not death, an awkward position.
31
And then he adds, and you can hear the amusement in it, I'd been very well brought up to avoid conversations with dubious old gentlemen.
32
Gandalf, a dubious old gentleman.
33
The man invented the most famous wizard in fiction and said he'd have shut the door on him.
34
That's the bit the BBC didn't broadcast, by the way.
35
Something that honest and that funny, and it sat in a box for half a century.
36
But he did have one real adventure
37
and he used almost all of it 1911 tolkien is 19 years old
38
and he goes hiking in switzerland here's how he described it in
39
that interview one of the cardinal things in the hobbit is
40
one of the few adventures i ever went through in my life they crossed mountain passes
41
if you've read the hobbit you know
42
that scene the storm in the mountains the stone giants hurling rocks in the dark
43
that happened minus the giants he says the journey is an actual personal experience.
44
Altered, of course.
45
And then he delivers the best joke of the entire interview, completely straight.
46
We met no goblin, a 19 -year -old on a walking holiday.
47
26 years later, it's in a book that has never gone out of print since.
48
But the real obsession of his life wasn't mountains.
49
Tolkien was at Oxford studying classics, and he got distracted. By Finnish.
50
Not by a person.
51
Not by a war.
52
Not by anything you'd expect.
53
By the Finnish language.
54
His description of it its formation, its sound texture, is very remarkable.
55
And then, it actually makes me quite intoxicated.
56
Intoxicated. By grammar.
57
Here's what that cost him, in his own words.
58
I just went away and learnt this when I should have been doing other things, and people couldn't make out why my essays on Greek drama were getting worse and worse.
59
A man tanking his own degree because a language was too beautiful to ignore.
60
And that's where Elvish comes from.
61
He says so directly.
62
The language of Middle Earth started out by being extremely Finnish.
63
On a Finnish basis, he said, with some Greek and other languages layered in.
64
Later, after the First World War, he took a job at the Oxford English Dictionary writing etymologies.
65
He remembered which words?
66
Winter, walrus, wampum.
67
Wampum sent him into the Algonquin languages of Eastern America, which he'd never touched before.
68
His verdict on the job, so it's a wonderful place, a dictionary?
69
Now, the question he was really there to answer, they asked Tolkien about Gollum.
70
He called the character an example of corruption, straightforward enough.
71
And then the interviewer raised one specific scene, and by the account of the Oxford professor who studied these recordings, Tolkien lit up.
72
Here's the moment, described by Stuart Lee, professor of English at Oxford, on the radio program that brought the tapes back out.
73
Gollum is with Frodo, and he is beginning to change back into Smeagol, the person he was before the ring took him apart.
74
In Lee's words, he's winning the battle.
75
The good side is winning through.
76
Frodo is asleep, and Gollum reaches out to touch him, a creature who has been a monster for centuries, reaching out gently.
77
Then Sam wakes up.
78
Sam.
79
who loves Frodo.
80
Sam, whose entire purpose in the story is protecting him.
81
Sam, who has been right about Gollum from the beginning.
82
And Sam says, take your hands off.
83
Here's what Tolkien said about that.
84
People have often asked me what moves me most.
85
I think the most tragic point in the whole story is the terrible irony that good often does evil.
86
Read that again.
87
Good often does evil he continues the most tragic moment is
88
when sam and his protectiveness says take your hands off
89
and therefore defeats gollum's repentance and then the line
90
that makes it land because
91
that seems to be very true to life understand what he's
92
saying in a book with wars with a dark lord with
93
entire peoples destroyed the author says the saddest moment is a loyal friend being protective at exactly the wrong second.
94
Nobody does anything wrong.
95
Sam is right about Gollum.
96
Sam is defending someone he loves.
97
And that is precisely what destroys the only chance at redemption in the entire story.
98
Professor Lee's summary of Tolkien's whole worldview.
99
What happens in his mythology is that good can sometimes do excessive evil unintentionally, not evil defeating good.
100
Good being good, causing the damage.
101
The interviewer put it to him that the morality in his books looked fairly simple.
102
Good over here, evil over there.
103
Tolkien half agreed and then took it apart.
104
The general lines are rather simple, he said.
105
But of course, as a matter of fact, it isn't really, is it?
106
And then, you see evil on the good side.
107
It isn't just goodies against baddies, as they call it modern parlance.
108
That is the author of The Lord of the rings in
109
1968 personally rejecting the thing his book gets accused of most
110
often he wasn't writing a story where the good people are good
111
and the bad people are bad he was writing one where the most tragic thing
112
that happens is done by the most decent character in it out of love
113
and then almost none of that went out on television a few extracts aired
114
and the rest waited 51 years in a box one last thing
115
and it's the reason today is the day to think about this The Hobbit was published on the 21st of September, 1937.
116
The week around that date is now called Tolkien Week, a man who said he'd have found an excuse not to go, who met no goblin in Switzerland,
117
who wrecked his own essays learning Finnish, and who thought the saddest thing in his masterpiece was a friend being too protective.
118
So does he convince you?
119
Is that really the most tragic moment in the book, or would you pick a different one?
120
Tell me in the comments, because I suspect a lot of people have a different answer, and I'd like to see them argued out.
121
Subscribe if you'd rather hear what the author actually said than what everyone assumes he meant.
122
That's what this channel does, the whole story, without the gloss.

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.
