쉐도잉 연습: What If Russia Started World War 3? - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

레슨 만드는 중...
1
What would happen if the largest country on Earth decided it needs more territory and power?
2
Well, it might just go to war over it.
3
What country could Russia invade first?
4
What would be the plan of attack?
5
And what's the most dangerous weapon in Russia's possession?
6
This is What If and here's what would happen if Russia started a war.
7
Russia already takes up one -eighth of all the inhabited land on the planet.
8
And now it has its eyes on one of its European neighbors, Ukraine.
9
Historically, Ukraine and Russia have been in conflicts before.
10
Most recently, Russia annexed the Ukrainian peninsula Crimea.
11
And then it backed a separatist rebellion in eastern Ukraine.
12
Now, Russia doesn't want Ukraine cozying up to NATO.
13
It wants NATO out of Eastern Europe, period.
14
And even though Russia isn't a member of NATO to make decisions on such things,
15
with one of the most powerful militaries in the world, Russia might feel like it can play by its own rules.
16
OK, let's back up a little.
17
First, you might be wondering what NATO is.
18
Well, NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
19
And right now, it includes 30 members.
20
The United States, Canada, Netherlands and the United Kingdom are among them.
21
NATO's goal is to keep the peace and make sure no member of this alliance gets invaded by an international military force.
22
You know, like that time Russia took Crimea from Ukraine.
23
Now, Ukraine is not yet a member of NATO, but it has shown interest in joining it.
24
And that doesn't sit well with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
25
Putin is already a little freaked out that NATO is training Ukrainian troops and some members are supplying its army with weapons.
26
So he's decided to go about it with the good old method of persuasion.
27
He's threatening to start a war.
28
Now, with a defense budget of $42 billion, Russia puts a lot of love and money into its military.
29
Russia's army counts 3 .5 million recruits.
30
And it has tanks, 13 ,000 of them.
31
No other country in the world has this many.
32
Russia also has 27 ,000 armored vehicles and ranks first in the world with its 4 ,465 artillery guns.
33
And then there's also Russia's nukes to worry about.
34
All 6 ,257 of them.
35
These can be launched from aircraft, subs, or missiles.
36
But if Russia decided to attack, chances are it wouldn't start on land.
37
No, the first strike would likely come from the air.
38
This could level electricity stations and bridges, obliterate rail lines, and cripple the economy of any country attacked.
39
In addition to this, Russia's naval fleet is nearly unmatchable.
40
Their nuclear -powered submarines alone, parked along a coastline, could pose enough of a threat to anyone thinking about taking them on.
41
Depending on who the targeted country is, of course.
42
If Russia attacked Ukraine, NATO would likely respond with heavy economic sanctions.
43
But Russia has allies of its own.
44
It's a member of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, or CSTO.
45
This is a group of six former Soviet states in a NATO -like alliance.
46
It also has Cuba in its corner.
47
And if things should get really testy, Cuba would be a key hub for Russian troops looking to do some damage on U .S soil.
48
It's pretty scary when 100 ,000 Russian troops are standing on your doorstep.
49
But this likely wouldn't be a war to wipe out the country.
50
chances are Russia has something to gain from it.
51
It might be natural resources or political leverage.
52
Whatever it is, the plan wouldn't be to obliterate every target in its way, only to do enough damage to make their point.
53
In the case of Ukraine, it could shut down the Ukrainian economy.
54
But they could do that with minimal forces on the ground.
55
War is also not fought the same way it was even a decade ago.
56
It can be much more covert.
57
Hack attack anyone?
58
Now, if you worry about those Russian nukes, well, I might have an idea of how to rid the world of them.
59
How about nuking a volcano?
60
You know, in the name of science.
61
Go on, see what happens.
62
Now, that's a story for another WHAT IF.
63
We'll be right back.

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.
