1
Six dollars for a coffee? Are you serious?
커피 한 잔에 6달러요? 진짜예요?
2
Ha! Welcome to the real world, kiddo.
하하! 현실 세계에 온 걸 환영한다, 얘야.
3
Ugh, it was four fifty last year, Grandpa!
아, 작년엔 4.50달러였다고요, 할아버지!
4
Well, prices don't stay the same forever.
글쎄다, 가격이 영원히 그대로일 순 없지.
5
And look at this bread. It's gone up again!
그리고 이 빵 좀 보세요. 또 올랐어요!
6
That's inflation. Prices slowly rise over time.
그게 인플레이션이란다. 시간이 지나면서 물가가 조금씩 오르는 거지.
7
Oh no. So my money just buys less?
아, 이런. 그럼 제 돈으로 살 수 있는 게 줄어드는 거예요?
8
Exactly. Ten dollars gets you a little less every year.
그렇지. 10달러로 살 수 있는 게 해마다 조금씩 줄어든단다.
9
When I was your age, a loaf of bread was thirty-five cents.
내가 네 나이였을 때는 빵 한 덩이가 35센트였단다.
10
Thirty-five cents? No way!
35센트요? 말도 안 돼요!
11
Ha, but I earned less than three dollars an hour!
하하, 그래도 그땐 시급이 3달러도 안 됐어!
12
Oh... so pay went up too?
아... 그럼 월급도 같이 올랐어요?
13
Usually, yes. Just not always as fast as prices.
보통은 그렇지. 다만 늘 물가만큼 빨리 오르는 건 아니란다.
14
But why does it happen? Who decides?
근데 왜 그런 거예요? 누가 정하는데요?
15
Nobody really decides. Think of it like this.
딱히 누가 정하는 건 아니야. 이렇게 생각해 보렴.
16
When everyone wants something that's hard to get, sellers ask for more.
모두가 원하는데 구하기 어려운 물건이면, 파는 사람은 값을 더 부르지.
17
Oh, like concert tickets for a famous band!
아, 유명한 밴드 콘서트 티켓처럼요!
18
Ha, exactly! And when costs go up, prices follow.
하하, 바로 그거야! 그리고 비용이 오르면 가격도 따라 오르지.
19
If energy gets more expensive, the bakery pays more too.
에너지가 비싸지면 빵집도 돈을 더 내야 하잖니.
20
Gas for the ovens, fuel for the trucks... it all adds up.
오븐에 쓰는 가스, 트럭에 넣는 기름... 다 쌓이는 거지.
21
Ugh, and then they pass it on to us!
아, 그럼 결국 그게 우리한테 넘어오는 거네요!
22
Can't anyone stop it?
아무도 못 막아요?
23
Central banks try. They raise interest rates.
중앙은행이 애를 쓰지. 금리를 올린단다.
24
Borrowing costs more, so people spend less and prices slow down.
돈 빌리는 게 비싸지니까 사람들이 덜 쓰고, 물가 오르는 속도가 느려지지.
25
Hmm, so a little inflation is normal?
음, 그럼 인플레이션이 조금 있는 건 정상이에요?
26
Yes. Many central banks aim for about two percent a year.
그렇지. 많은 중앙은행이 1년에 2% 정도를 목표로 해.
27
So, my advice? Compare prices before you buy.
그래서 내 조언은? 사기 전에 가격을 비교해 보렴.
28
And keep your savings somewhere that pays interest.
그리고 저축은 이자가 붙는 곳에 넣어 두고.
29
Okay, okay. And maybe make my coffee at home?
네, 네. 그리고 커피는 집에서 타 마실까요?
30
Now you're thinking like your grandpa!
이제야 할아버지처럼 생각하는구나!

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.
