[큰소리영어]

최근에 2010년에 나온 큰소리영어학습법이라는 좋은 책을 읽었어요

(음 우연히 이 책을 읽었는데 영어를 시험과목으로 공부하는 것을 비판하고 언어로 접근해야 한다는 내용으로

자기 아이들 모두 본인의 방법으로 키워서 큰아이는 민사고 나와 코넬대, 둘째는 라이스대, 세째는 특목고

뭐 그런내용인데요 거기서 추천한 책이 로알드 달의 찰리와 쵸콜릿공장, 루이스의 나니아연대기였어요

그런데 이 분 2010년 초에 이 책을 쓰고 8월에 별세하셨다고 하네요....나이도 젊으시던데)

그래서 위에 언급한 책을 주문하고 기다리고 있어요

그 책에 감동을 먹고 늦은 나이에 영어를 잘하고 싶고 초등 우리아이한테도 그 방법으로 영어를 하게 하고 싶어요

덧붙여 제가 읽고 싶은 책이 하울의 움직이는 성인데

이 책이 원래 영국의 유명한 판타지작가인 다이아나 와인존스가 86년에 쓴 소설이더라구요(미야자키가 애니메이션으로 만듦 참 하울의 영어판 목소리가 크리스챤 베일이래요 )

다이아나는 반지의 제왕을 쓴 톨킨의 제자이고 또 톨킨은 나니아연대기를 쓴 루이스와는 절친

전 몰랐거든요...

어쨌든

하울의 움직이는 성 2페이지를 읽고 있는데 해석본이 없어 일단 내용 파악하는 중인데(애니메이션은 몇 번 봤지만)

아래 문장이 해석이 잘 안되요

특히,  for Mr. Hatter는 주어자리에 있는데 왜 전치사 for가 붙었는 지

just as는 왜 들어가 있는 지 이해가 안되요

They had other things on their minds before long, however, for Mr. Hatter had died suddenly

just as Sophie was old enough to leave school for good.

저 나름 해석을 하면

그들은 오래지않아 다른 것에 대하여 생각했다. 그러나, 소피가 학교를 그만두는 것이 당연한 것 처럼 Hatter씨가 갑자기 죽었다. 

혹시 답을 주실 수 있는 분이 있으면 좋겠어요

사랑해요 82cook 천사들^^

for--> because 그리고 as--> when 이렇게 보시면요, however 다음에 나오는 접속사 절은 "소피가 더 이상 학교를 다닐 필요가 없을 정도의 나이가 되자 마자 해터씨가 갑자기 돌아가셨기 때문에" 로 해석하시면 될 것 같아요.

[,,,]

소피가 학교를 떠날 나이가 되었을때 (졸업하기에 충분한 나이가 되자 마자) 해터씨가 갑자기 죽었기때문에 그들은 오래지 않아 생각해야할 다른 일들이 있었다. 여기서 just as 는 뭐뭐처럼이 아니고요 해터씨가 갑자기 죽은 때와 소피가 졸업할 때가 거의 동시에 일어났다는 걸 알려주는 것 같고요, however는 여기서는 그러나라는 뜻이 아니고 문장과 문장을 이어줄때 한 숨 쉬어갈때 더해주는 말처럼 들립니다.

[,,,]

내용은 모르겠지만 해처씨의 죽음으로 인해 처리하거나 생각해야 할 일들이 생겼겠지요.

첫덧글,, 불필요한 덧글이네요, 원글님 첫덧글 무시하시고 화이팅하세요!

첫댓글 영어강사님 말씀이 맞아요
문법 중요합니다
전체 문장구조적인 측면에서 for가 전치사가 아니라
접속사일수밖에 없겠구나
그렇다면 for가 접속사로는 무슨 뜻이지 사전을 찾아봐야하는데
이때 접속사 개념이 없으면 for를 기존에 알고있는 전치사로만 계속 보게되겠죠
이러한 문법지식을 바탕으로 계속 하나하나 지식을 확장시켜 나가야 정확한 독해가 가능하고 영어실력이 느는거지
무조건 많이 읽고 듣는다고 실력이 느는게 아니에요

[지나가다]

'문법'님의 댓글이 맞는 말이긴 한데, 첫 댓글의 어조를 보세요. 보자마자 기분부터 상하게 하기 딱 좋은 뉘앙스 아닌지요? 문법 지식도 중요하지만, 공감 능력도 있어야지요.
82에서 왠만하면 부정적이거나 공격적인 댓글들 좀 안 봤으면 좋겠어요...
문법을 모를 수 있지만, 좋게 설명해 줄 수도 있잖아요.

일요일 아침이라 늦은 아침을 차리고 먹이고
지금 봤네요
문법 공부 열심히 해야겠다는 생각이 드네요
고맙습니다. 분발할께요^^

맥락을 알면 한결 쉬워지죠.

Chapter One

In which Sophie talks to hats

In the land of Ingary, where such things as seven-league boots and cloaks of invisibility really exist, it is quite a misfortune to be born the eldest of three. Everyone knows you are the one who will fail first, and worst, if the three of you set out to seek your fortunes.

Sophie Hatter was the eldest of three sisters. She was not even the child of a poor woodcutter, which might have given her some chance of success. Her parents were well to do and kept a ladies' hat shop in the prosperous town of Market Chipping. True, her own mother died when Sophie was two years old and her sister Lettie was one year old, and their father married his youngest shop assistant, a pretty blonde girl called Fanny. Fanny shortly gave birth to the third sister, Martha. This ought to have made Sophie and Lettle into Ugly Sisters, but in fact all three girls grew up very pretty indeed, though Lettie was the one everyone said was most beautiful. Fanny treated all three girls with the same kindness and did not favor Martha in the least.

Mr. Hatter was proud of his three daughters and sent them all to the best school in town. Sophie was the most studious. She read a great deal, and very soon realized how little chance she had of an interesting future. It was a disappointment to her, but she was still happy enough, looking after her sisters and grooming Martha to seek her fortune when the time came. Since Fanny was always busy in the shop, Sophie was the one who looked after the younger two. There was a certain amount of screaming and hairpulling between those younger two. Lettie was by no means resigned to being the one who, next to Sophie, was bound to be the least successful.

"It's not fair!" Lettie would shout. "Why should Martha have the best of it just because she was born the youngest? I shall marry a prince, so there!"

To which Martha always retorted that she would end up disgustingly rich without having to marry anybody.

Then Sophie would have to drag them apart and mend their clothes. She was very deft with her needle. As time went on, she made clothes for her sisters too. There was one deep rose outfit she made for Lettie, the May Day before this story really starts, which Fanny said looked as if it had come from the most expensive shop in Kingsbury.

About this time everyone began talking of the Witch of the Waste again. It was said the Witch had threatened the life of the King's daughter and that the King had commanded his personal magician, Wizard Suliman, to go into the Waste and deal with the Witch. And it seemed that Wizard Stillman had not only failed to deal with the Witch: he had got himself killed by her.

So when, a few months after that, a tall black castle suddenly appeared on the hills above Market Chipping, blowing clouds of black smoke from its four tall, thin turrets, everybody was fairly sure that the Witch had moved out of the Waste again and was about to terrorize the country the way she used to fifty years ago. People got very scared indeed. Nobody went out alone, particularly at night. What made it all the scarier was that the castle did not stay in the same place. Sometimes it was a tall black smudge on the moors to the northwest, sometimes it reared above the rocks to the east, and sometimes it came right downhill to sit in the heather only just beyond the last farm to the north. You could see it actually moving sometimes, with smoke pouring out from the turrets in dirty gray gusts. For a while everyone was certain that the castle would come right down into the valley before long, and the Mayor talked of sending to the King for help.

But the castle stayed roving about the hills, and it was learned that it did not belong to the Witch but toWizard Howl. Wizard Howl was bad enough. Though he did not seem to want to leave the hills, he was known to amuse himself by collecting young girls and sucking the souls from them. Or some people said he ate their hearts. He was an utterly cold-blooded and heartless wizard and no young girl was safe from him if he caught her on her own. Sophie, Lettie, and Martha, along with all the other girls in Market Chipping, were warned never to go out alone, which was a great annoyance to them. They wondered what use Wizard Howl found for all the souls he collected.

****
They had other things on their minds before long, however, for Mr. Hatter died suddenly just as Sophie was old enough to leave school for good. ****
It then appeared that Mr. Hatter had been altogether too proud of his daughters. The school fees he had been paying had left the shop with quite heavy debts. When the funeral was over, Fanny sat down in the parlor in the house next door to the shop and explained the situation.

"You'll all have to leave that school, I'm afraid," she said. "I've been doing sums back and front and sideways, and the only way I can see to keep the business going and take care of the three of you is to see you all settled in a promising apprenticeship somewhere. It isn't practical to have you all in the shop. I can't afford it. So this is what I've decided. Lettie first -- "
