아시는 분은 아시겠지만, 여기에서 Bully 괴롭히다 라는 동사로서, 학교나 어느 집단에서 괴롭히는 행동을 나타내는 단어입니다. 즉, 어떻게 하면, 학교 폭력이나 괴롭힘을 멈출 수 있을까? 이런 느낌의 speech 입니다. 영상이 시작하자마자, 얼굴은 평온하지만, 사지가 없는 Nick이 나타납니다. 의학적으로도 어떻게 설명할 수 없는 상태로 태어났고, 호주 출신이지만 LA에서 살고 있다라고 애기를 하면서, 첫 시작을 합니다. 자신은 사람들을 놀래키는 것을 좋아한다고 하면서 어느날 차에서 어떤 소녀를 놀래켰던 에피소를 애기를 하면서, 분위기를 편안하게 유도를 합니다. 하지만 이 부분에서도, 자신이 운전을 하지 못하는 현실에 대해서도 애기를 하네요. 정말, 안타까운 상황인거 같습니다. 그리고, 계속 이야기를 이어나가면서, 부모님이 정말로 자신을 사랑했고, 머든지 시도를 하고, 노력을 해봐야 한다라고 애기를 합니다. 자신도, 시간이 지남으로써, 남들과 비교를 하게 되고, 사지가 없는 자신이 왜 이렇게 태어났는지에 대해서, 너무나도 비참했다고 하네요. 그 후 학교에서 괴롭힘을 당하는 에피소드를 애기를 합니다. 정말 힘들었고, 괴롭힘이 자신을 너무 비참하게 만들었다고 합니다.

 

 그러던 어느날, Nick은 그 괴롭히는 항상에게, 먼저 애기를 건내며, 그만 괴롭히라고 하네요. 그러니, 상대방은 너무나도 당황하여, 어떻게 해야할지를 모르는 상황이 되었습니다. 그냥 장난 삼아했다라는 말로 얼버 무렸고, Nick은 허그 해달라고 요청을 합니다. 그러면서, 사람들은 항상 장난 삼아 친구들을 괴롭해고, 놀리고 한다고 하면서, 그 행동들이, 어떤 누군가에게는, 자살 충동까지 나게 할수 있는 잘못된 행동이라는 것을 강조를 합니다. 그리고, 그렇게 하지말라는 거죠. 괴롭힘은 강해보이고, Tough 해 보이는게 아니다. 괴롭히는 사람에게 가서, 이제 그만 하라고 애기하고, 껴앉아 달라고 애기하는게 그게 진짜로 Tough 한것이라고 애기를 합니다. 약간, 은유인거 같은데, 대충 이해가 됩니다. 너의 진실, 그게 정말로 중요하며, 남들을 괴롭히지 말고, 사랑하고, 니가 괴롭히는 사람은 누군가의 형제이자 자매라는 것이라고 마지막을 맺으며, speech를 마무리르 합니다. 그럼 관련 speech script & word 참조 하시고, 영어 공부 열심히 하세요.

 How you guys doing? Good, good good good good. Well guys, I was born this way, and there’s no medical reason why that happened. My brother and my sister were born with arms and legs.
 
And sometimes in life, things happen that don’t make sense. My doctors never thought that I’d be able to walk, and today, I’m walking. I’m from Australia, anybody want to one day go to Australia? It’s such a cool place. And I now live in LA; I’m a Southern California boy.  So I only live about four hours from here.
 
And today I’m going to tell you, man— I love freaking people out. One day I’m in a car, I’m in the front seat— I’m not driving of course. Can you imagine if I’m driving a car? They reckon they can put a joystick— that thing that controlls my wheelchair — we can put that in a car. Like how fully sick is that? Imagine if I get pulled over by the cops? Can I have your driver’s license please? Yeah, but, it’s over there; you’re going to have to get it.

 

reckon 생각하다, 계산하다.

 
Imagine if I’m in big trouble! Put your hands up! Uhhhh.. Get out of your car! Uhhhhh…
 
So I’m in the front passenger’s seat, we’re at the traffic lights, and this car comes up next to us and this girl’s looking at me. And I’m looking at her, she’s looking at me, I’m looking at her, she’s looking at me, I’m looking at her. All she sees is my head, right? She has no idea that I have no arms and no legs. So I’m thinking, cool. I’m going to freak you out.
 
So I get the seatbelt in my mouth, and I loosen it like this, so that I can freely move. And she’s looking at me like“why are you eating your seatbelt?’ So I pull it, the belt is loose, I can move.
 
Now she’s looking at me, full 100% attention and focus. And just imagine all you see is my head, all right? You might want to put up your hand to your face to cut off the rest of my body. So you can really see the effect, so…That’s it, exactly.
 
Here we go, ready? I just did this. And her face, man. She was like— she nearly ran the red light, man. It was so good. My parents always said, Nick, you don’t know what you can achieve until you try it. And the doctors looked at me and said, he’s not going to walk, he’s not going to go to school, he’s not going to do anything in his life.
 
And then my parents; they just loved me like crazy, and said you’ve got to try. Try this, try that, try this, try that, and I’m thinking sometimes, like, Mom and Dad, you’re crazy, I have no arms and no legs. How would I ever be able to do this or do that? But they encouraged me, and they loved me. And as human beings, we’re waiting for stuff like that, we all want love. Everybody say it — loooooove. Very good. We all want love. I went to school, and I wanted to be cool, you know. You go to school and you want to be accepted. So, you see these guys, and you’re like, oh man, you know? Everyone swears, like every third sentence. F this, and F that, and F’n this, and F F, like, what, they think they’re cool, you know. And so I’m thinking, maybe I need to be like them to be cool.
 
And then you compare each other with how we look and I wish I was smarter, I wish I was taller, I wish I was shorter, I wish I was more popular, I wish I did this, I wish I didn’t have that. I wish my life was different. That was me when I was about 8 years old; I looked at myself, and I looked at everybody else, and everyone else had more than me. And I’m asking, why? Why me? Have you ever asked the why me questions, but get nowhere?
 
If I had no answers from the doctors, and if I had no answers from my parents, I still have a choice, every day in my life, to keep going or give up. You see this book up here? This is my favorite book in the whole wide world. This is my favorite book, the bible. And here I am – and here I am, and for me, that’s my full potential in all that I can be here on earth. And so encouragement takes me closer to all that I can be, and discouragement takes me away.
 
You see, it only takes three seconds for someone to tease me when I was at school, and just say ewwwww, you’re ugly. Ewww, you can’t do this and you can’t do that. Some of you are thinking, like, man, seriously? You had kids picking on you? How heartless are those kids? Picking on me with no limbs? You would probably say, well, I’m not that bad. I wouldn’t pick on a kid with no limbs. But why would you pick on anyone? Well, because it’s fun, it’s just culture. OK, we’ll get to that.
 
But for me, facing all that stuff? I’m getting these seeds, everyone say seeds, S-E-E-D-S, seeds. Have you seen the pictures of the sequoia reds up here in California? These huge trees. Like some of the trunks could be nearly as big as this room. I’ve seen those photos where they’ve actually dug out a tunnel in a trunk of a tree— you can drive a full-size SUV right through it. That all started with a little seed. If you leave a seed of lies in your heart and in your mind, and you don’t know the truth? If you don’t know the truth, you will die with the lie. I started dying, because I started believing what I was told.
 

trunk 몸통

I want you to know the three things that I needed to come to in my life is the truth of my values, the truth of my purpose, and the truth of my destiny. I want you to know something. In our mind, we put ourselves down all the time. I want to ask you today, do you think I’m cool enough to be your friend? But I don’t swear, I don’t use the F-bomb, am I still cool enough to be your friend? But I don’t tease people, am I still cool enough to be your friend? But I have no arms and no legs. Seriously.
 
You would be my friend, even though I have no arms, no legs. So you’re telling me it actually doesn’t matter, right? If it actually doesn’t matter, for how we look, then why do we tease one another for how we look if it actually doesn’t matter? Why is it that we look ourselves in the mirror, and we say, well, we’re having fun! Oh yeah, man it’s just part of culture, man.
 
There were twelve people one day teased me. Taking me away from my hope. 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Don’t worry, I won’t fall off, because if I did, I’d break my arm. But twelve people teased me one day. And I can put a pretty brave face on but cry on the inside. For real. Oh, it doesn’t hurt! Yeah, it hurts. There was this one bully, I became his target for three weeks. And every time I’d go by him — I was 13, he was 17. I was in my chair. I’m only 4’9ʺ in my other chair, my old chair. He’s like 6ʹ something, so he’s huge, right? So I’m looking up at him, and every time I’d go by him, he’s like,“Hey, there’s Nick! He has no…” And you can imagine what he said. And I’m like, what’s his problem, man?
 

go by 지나가다

 

So I would try to avoid him, and I was so embarrassed, because he would say it really loud and everybody would be looking and some would be laughing. I’m like, what is this guy’s problem, man? So one day, after three weeks, I went up to him and I said, “Hey”.
He’s like, “Hey”.
And I said, “Can you please stop it?”
He said, “Stop what?”
I said “Stop teasing me”.
He said, “What are you talking about?”
I said, “Every time I walk by you say that stuff”.
He’s like, “What stuff?” He didn’t know how to take me on.
 

take on 받아 들이다, 떠맡다.

 

So I’m looking up at him and said,“No man. Every time I walk by, you say exactly this, and I want you to stop. I forgive you, but stop it”.
 
He’s like, “Oh, it’s not hurting you”.
 
Now, I could have said, “No,” or I could have said yeah. It takes a level of humility to actually say, um, actually, I don’t like that. It’s killing me. And I said, “Ah, yeah, it’s hurting me”.

 

humility 겸손 

 

He said, “All right, I’m sorry man. I was just, you know, playing around”.
I said, “Give me a hug”.
He said, “What?”
I said, “Give me a hug”.
 

play around 장난삼아 하다, 아무렇게나 다루다

 

He’s like, “All right”. So I gave him a hug. I’m a hugging machine. We made the Guinness Book of World Records: 1,749 hugs in one year. We did it last year— my arms fell off, all right? The scary thing about hugging so many people is that anyone can just pick me up and take me home. Like, what am I going to do, like,–hit them or something? Pretty mean head-butt, right?
 

head-butt 박치기

I want you to know that you might be playing around. I can pretty much say that 98% of you have teased someone in your life. I tried to commit suicide because of people who thought they were having fun, not knowing the hell that I was going through. The people you’re teasing— what if the person you’re teasing is the person who’s thinking of committing suicide.
 
What if the person you’re teasing is the one who’s trying to commit suicide, who hates their life because of you? You don’t know if the person you are teasing is the son or daughter of a drunk at home getting abused. And all they need is someone like you to keep on pushing them this way.
 
We need hope, so find something else to do. Find positive things in your own life; I don’t care about how you look, I will never ever ever tease you. I will never tease you! I could tease you, I could be tough. People thinking that bullying is tough? It ain’t tough! My wheelchair? This is tough. This thing, man, I’ll tell you something— you ready?
 
This wheelchair. This thing’s so tough. When my friend built this for me, he said, you’re going to love it. I said what, does it go fast? He said no, but it’s tough. And I said, well, what do you mean? He said, you’ll find out.
 
The torque in these motors, at the bottom at the back. This thing. If someone’s holding it. I’m telling you, it can go 90 degrees. I went 80 degrees up, alright? Someone’s holding me to make sure I don’t tip back. My wife, she loves shopping with me, because she just jumps on the back, and we go shopping. She just shops and shops, because she doesn’t drop, right? We just go and do it; it’s fun.
 

tip 기울이다

 

Now what I tried one day to do — you’ll never believe me, maybe you will, just know that every word that comes out of my mouth is not an exaggeration. One day, I needed to move a car. So I got my wife to put my car, my ’66 Chevelle, in neutral. It’s a two and a half ton car, and I backed it back with this thing. Two and a half— just this. Just like this, like nothing. This thing is tough. Guess what? The definition of tough means it’s strong. To show your strength, you need to do something that’s difficult. I would sound so stupid if I said hey guys, I got a matchbox car one day, and I got some fishing line, and I towed that matchbox car all around all day. How tough is my BMW? That’s stupid.
 

matchbox 성냥갑

That’s the same thing with bullying. You think you’re tough? You’re trying to show your strength? That’s not your strength. Let me come back in ten years and let me get your three — anyone have a three year old nephew? Anyone have a three year old nephew? Cool. Put your hands down.
 
I will get any one of your three year old nephews, bring them tomorrow night at where I’m speaking, and we’re going to put them up on stage, and let me show you how tough I am. We’ll get your three year old nephew, and we’ll put him up here, on the table, and let me tease him. Let me show you how tough I am. That’s what you are! I could pick on you, you biggest bullies. I could pick on anything you like. Any singer, any music that you like. I could tease you, I could tease your family, I could tease your friends, I could tease about the movies you think are really cool, I could tease anything about you. I could tease you about your nose, your eyes, your teeth, your chin, your hair, your ears, your elbows, your knees, your whatever, man! I can tease you about anything. It ain’t hard, just like you can tease me.
 
You want to know what tough is? Go to the people you tease, and say sorry. You want to know what tough is, go up to the people who still tease you, and say, hey. Stop it, I forgive you, but please stop it. That’s tough.
 
I want you to know something, the truth of who you are. I don’t care what job you get. I don’t care. I don’t care how smart you are, everyone. I don’t care. I don’t care, I love you and I believe in you. I don’t care if you end up being a janitor in this school, I’ll tell you why– because the janitor in my high school inspired me to be a speaker. He changed my life. He said, you should be a speaker, you know, and I said, you’re crazy! He said no really, you need to be a speaker. I said, stop it man. Four months later, he twisted my arm, and I said yes. I spoke in front of ten people, then another ten, then another ten, then I found myself in front of 300 sophomore students. And three minutes into my speech, half the girls were crying, and one girl in the middle of the room started weeping. She put up her hand and said“I’m so sorry, can I come up there and give you a hug.” And in front of everybody, she came up and she hugged me, and she cried on my shoulder, and she whispered in this ear. Thank you, thank you, thank you, no one’s ever told me that they love me. No one’s ever told me that I’m beautiful the way that I am.

 

weep 울다, 눈물을 흘리다, 슬퍼하다

 
It was because my parents told me that I was beautiful that I am still here. Some of you don’t have those parents, and that’s why I’m here. I love you and you’re beautiful just the way you are. Never, ever give up.
 
How many schools do you think that I spoke to actually stopped bullying altogether? OK. Whoever said one, you are correct. One school out of 600, I got a letter from the headmaster, and he said Nick, you forever changed our school, blah blah blah. We haven’t seen any bullies pick on anybody for eight months straight. We don’t know what happened, but in the best words that I can describe, there’s just a new thought in the air that it just ain’t cool anymore. It just ain’t cool.
 

altogether 전적으로, 모두 함께

 

I want to ask you: What are you going to do? Are you going to continue on? At the risk of knowing that in each section, this section, right here, five people already tried to commit suicide. That section there? Five people. When you extrapolate it out? What if the person you’re teasing is one of those and you have no idea. Would you find something else to do?
 

extrapolate 외삽하다, 추론하다, 기존의 자료에 기초하여 추정하다. 

 

So, the change is up to you. If you want to see more love in your school, be love. If 50% of the school come together and say you know what, it just ain’t cool anymore the people who think it’s still cool, every time they look down upon you, I want you to look up. I want you to imagine my face looking at you. Because I’m telling you, everyone you’re teasing is my brother and my sister. And you’re my brother, and you’re my sister. And I’m asking you to stop.
 
Love yourself a bit more, love each other a lot more.

 

상대적으로, 모르는 단어가 적은, 쉬운 speech였을 거라고 생각합니다. 하지만, Nick이 애기하는 부분에 대해서, 다시 한번 생각해보면서, 그 문장의 표현 그리고, 그 내용 면에서도 깊게 이해를 한다면, 여기에서 나오는 문장을 작문하거나, 대화를 할 때 사용 할 수 있지 않을까 합니다. 

 

그럼 조금이라도 도움이 되었으면 합니다. 감사합니다.
