1
Below the thunders of the Upper Deep, far, far beneath, in the abysmal sea,
2
his ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep, the Kraken sleepeth.
3
That's right, it's time to release the Kraken.
4
This is the legendary sea monster.
5
It's massive, terrifying, and hungry.
6
Thankfully, it's just a myth, right?
7
What if this behemoth of the sea actually existed?
8
How would this Leviathan live in the real world?
9
And how would this monster affect our lives?
10
This is What If, and here's what would happen, would happen if the Kraken were real.
11
It's time to dive in.
12
We're getting up close and personal with the mythical cephalopod feared by ocean dwellers and land lovers alike, the Kraken.
13
How exactly would the Kraken live in our world?
14
First, we would categorize the Kraken as a cephalopod.
15
Like the octopus, squid, and cuttlefish, the kraken would be a highly advanced and intelligent marine animal.
16
Cephalopods are soft-bodied, so they have no bones to become fossils.
17
That would explain why we haven't found any remains of a kraken.
18
But it also proposes a terrifying possibility.
19
If the kraken lived by the laws of science, it wouldn't be immortal, which means there's more than one.
20
And they're breeding.
21
baby krakens.
22
As to where this is happening, we assume it would remain in the North Atlantic Ocean.
23
That being said, the species of giant squids alive today inhabit all of the world's oceans, so we shouldn't consider ourselves to be safe yet.
24
Your first hint that you may be in the presence of a kraken is that you catch lots of fish.
25
And I mean, a lot of fish.
26
If it seems too good to be true, that's because it is.
27
The kraken is scaring the fish towards the surface.
28
And that's a harbinger of death for unwary sailors.
29
Giant squids hunt by keeping still in deep waters.
30
When a fish gets close enough to the dangling tentacles, it's pulled into the squid's grasp and is unable to escape the suction cups that line the tentacles.
31
We can assume that the kraken hunts in a similar style, but fish isn't on its menu.
32
It wants you, your crew, and your ship.
33
The kraken is described in folklore as being the size of a few small islands, and its back was 1,500 m in circumference.
34
It's also said that the kraken was able to pull massive ships completely underwater with its tentacles.
35
How strong would it have to be to pull this off?
36
Well, Archimedes' Principle states that the buoyant force of an object submerged in a fluid
37
equals the weight of the fluid that the object displaces.
38
If you take the gross tonnage of your ship, and multiply it by the density of seawater and gravity, then subtract the weight of your ship,
39
it will give you the force that the kraken needs to use to pull your ship under the water.
40
For the kraken to pull a regular-sized ship completely underwater, it would need to exert a force of just over 400,000 kg.
41
In non-mathematical terms, the Kraken is very, very strong. And you?
42
Well, I'm sorry to break this to you, but you're Kraken food.
43
It's safe to say that if at least one of these monsters dwelled beneath the ocean, anything involving sea travel would have happened very, very differently.
44
How would it affect us?
45
Well, if this monster of the deep is lurking in the Atlantic.
46
It would have changed history as we know it.
47
The Vikings wouldn't have been able to sail overseas if this sea monster was eating them.
48
Come to think of it, Christopher Columbus and his crew may have ended up in a watery grave, and never made it to the New World.
49
In fact, North America might not have been discovered at all until the invention of air travel.
50
Now, we could assume that explorers evaded the kraken on their voyage, but with the kraken being such a massive creature,
51
it would need a lot of food to sustain itself.
52
meaning it doesn't look good for anyone who likes to go in the water.
53
Thankfully, the Kraken isn't currently devastating the ocean today.
54
If it ever existed in the first place, it would have been gone long before humans made their debut.
55
The myths and legends attributed to the Kraken are more than likely encounters with their very real,
56
and arguably very terrifying, giant squid cousins.
57
But after all that, we can't write the old kraken off for sure.
58
Human beings have only searched 5% of the oceans.
59
Everything else down there is a mystery.
60
It may be a creature of myth, but we can't imagine it would be fun to be eaten by a kraken.
61
What if another real nautical creature decided to make you its dinner?
62
What if you were swallowed by a whale?
63
Well, that sounds like a story for another WHAT IF.

배경 정보

이 비디오는 전설적인 해양 괴물 크라켄이 실제로 존재한다면 어떤 일이 벌어질지 상상해보는 내용입니다. 해양 생물학, 물리학, 역사까지 다양한 주제가 섞여 있어 흥미로운 동시에 풍부한 어휘와 표현을 접할 수 있습니다. 영어 회화 연습에 좋은 자료로, 특히 해양 관련 용어와 가정법 표현을 익히기에 적합합니다.

일상 대화에 쓸 수 있는 인기 표현 5가지

  • "It's time to dive in": "진입해 볼 시간입니다"로, 새로운 주제나 활동을 시작할 때 사용합니다. 예: "이제 프로젝트에 대해 진입해 볼 시간이에요."
  • "up close and personal": "가까이서 직접"라는 뜻으로, 무언가를 면밀히 살펴볼 때 씁니다. 예: "동물원에서 코끼리를 가까이서 직접 보았어요."
  • harbinger of death: "죽음의 전조"로, 불행한 일이 일어날 징조를 나타냅니다. 예: "이 지역의 이상 기후는 재해의 전조입니다."
  • in non-mathematical terms: "수학적인 용어로 말하지 않고"로, 복잡한 내용을 쉽게 설명할 때 사용합니다. 예: "수학적인 용어로 말하지 않고, 이 기계는 매우 강력해요."
  • lurking in: "숨어있다"로, 위험한 것이 은밀히 존재할 때 씁니다. 예: "숲 속에 무언가가 숨어있는 것 같아요."

쉐도잉 연습 가이드

이 비디오는 속도가 조금 빠르고 전문 용어가 있어 영어 쉐도잉에挑戰하기 좋습니다. 다음 단계로 연습해 보세요:

  1. 1회 차: 비디오를 한 번 완전히 듣고, 전체 내용을 이해합니다. 크라켄의 특징과 영향에 대해 중점을 둡니다.
  2. 2회 차: 10초 단위로 멈추며, 발음과 억양을 따라합니다. "Archimedes' Principle"과 같은 어려운 단어는 천천히 반복합니다.
  3. 3회 차: 음성을 끄고, 본인이 직접 말해보며 내용을 기억합니다. "What if"로 시작하는 가정법 문장을 집중练习합니다.
  4. 4회 차: shadowing site를 이용해 실제 대화처럼 연습합니다. shadowspeaks나 shadow speech와 같은 도구를 사용하면 더 효과적입니다.

꾸준히 연습하면 영어 회화 실력이 크게 향상될 거예요! 실수해도 괜찮아요, 즐겁게 말하는 게 중요합니다.

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.
