안녕하세요, Davey 입니다. 오늘 Posting 할 TED 강연은 아이들을 최대한 해로운 것으로 부터 보호하려는 사회적인 흐름과 정 반대되는 내용입니다.

 

일단 Title은 5 dangerous things you should let your kids do 입니다. 한글로 번역하면, 우리가 아이들이 하게 내버려 둬야 할 5개의 위험한 일 입니다. 본문 내용은 아래 Link를 참조 하시면 됩니다.

5 dangerous things you should let your kids do

 일단 강의 시작과 동시에 speaker가 애기하길, 우리가 아이들이 하게 내버려 둬야 할 5개의 위험한 일이라는 강연에 온 걸 환영한다라고 애기를 하면 강연을 시작을 합니다. 자기는 애기가 없다고, 친구한테 빌려야 된다고 하면서 초반 분위기를 좀 띄웁니다. 일단, 자신의 소개를 하면 이야기를 시작합니다. 자기는 직업은, 계약직의 컴퓨터 공학자이고, 동시에, 티컬링 스쿨의 창립자라고 합니다. 티컬링 스쿨에서는, 여름 캠프 같은 구조로 되어 있고, 아이들이 생각하는 것들을 어떻게 만들어가는 방법을 배우는데 초점을 맞추었다고 합니다. 그러니까, 우리 한테 보내면, 애들이 좀 멍들고, 다치고, 피 흘리게 될거라고 농담까지 하네요. 그리고 나서, 강연의 본론으로 넘어가게 됩니다. 우리는 계속적으로 더 엄격한 아이들의 보호 규범이 존재하는 세상에 살게 될거라고 애기를 하네요. 그리고, 지금 모든 플라스틱 필름 위에 숨막히는 경고 메세지를 넣습니다. 정말, 미국에서는 안전 규범에대해서 더 철저하니까, 좀 그런 느낌을 받을 거 같습니다. 그리고 나서, 일단 이 강연의 주제가 약간의 위험하면서도, 도발적인 면도 있지만 정말 안전한, 강연이라고 애기를 하네요. 그리고 자기가 지금 부터 프리젠테이션 하는 내요은, 50개의 위험한 것이라는 책에서 발취한 5개의 위험한 것입니다. 5개는 아래와 같습니다. 

1) Play with fie

2) Own a poketknife

3) Throw a spear

4) Deconstruct appliances

5) Two-parter, Break the digital millennium copyright act and Drive a car.

 

 음 개인적으로는 정말 위험한 것들인데, 이것들이 아이들에게는, 색다른 경험과 그것을 통해 많은 것을 배울 수 있다고 애기를 하네요. 자세한 내용은 아래 본문 script 와 제가 정리한 단어 보시면 공부해보시면 자세히 아실 수 있을 겁니다. 아래 script는 TED 홈페이지 해당 speech의 Transcript 내용 참조하였습니다.

Welcome to "Five Dangerous Things You Should Let Your Children Do." I don't have children. I borrow my friends' children, so
(Laughter) 

take all this advice with a grain of salt. I'm Gever Tulley. I'm a contract computer scientist by trade, but I'm the founder of something called the Tinkering School. It's a summer program which aims to help kids learn how to build the things that they think of. So we build a lot of things, and I do put power tools into the hands of second-graders. So if you're thinking about sending your kid to Tinkering School, they do come back bruised, scraped and bloody. 
(Laughter) 

 

 

You know, we live in a world that's subjected to ever more stringent child safety regulations. There doesn't seem to be any limit on how crazy child safety regulations can get. We put suffocation warnings on every piece of plastic film manufactured in the United States, or for sale with an item in the United States. We put warnings on coffee cups to tell us that the contents may be hot. And we seem to think that any item sharper than a golf ball is too sharp for children under the age of 10. 

 

suffocation 질식

So where does this trend stop? When we round every corner and eliminate every sharp object, every pokey bit in the world, then the first time that kids come in contact with anything sharp, or not made out of round plastic, they'll hurt themselves with it. So, as the boundaries of what we determine as the safety zone grow ever smaller, we cut off our children from valuable opportunities to learn how to interact with the world around them. And despite all of our best efforts and intentions, kids are always going to figure out how to do the most dangerous thing they can, in whatever environment they can. 
(Laughter) 

So despite the provocative title, this presentation is really about safety, and about some simple things that we can do to raise our kids to be creative, confident and in control of the environment around them. And what I now present to you is an excerpt from a book in progress. The book is called "50 Dangerous Things." This is "Five Dangerous Things."

in progress 진행중인 판매중인

Thing number one: Play with fire. Learning to control one of the most elemental forces in nature is a pivotal moment in any child's personal history. Whether we remember it or not, it's the first time we really get control of one of these mysterious things. These mysteries are only revealed to those who get the opportunity to play with it. So, playing with fire. This is like one of the great things we ever discovered, fire. From playing with it, they learn some basic principles about fire, about intake, combustion, exhaust. These are the three working elements of fire that you have to have for a good, controlled fire. And you can think of the open-pit fire as a laboratory. You don't know what they're going to learn from playing with it. Let them fool around with it on their own terms and trust me, they're going to learn things that you can't get out of playing with Dora the Explorer toys. 
(Laughter)

combustion 연소, 산화

Number two: Own a pocketknife. Pocketknives are kind of drifting out of our cultural consciousness, which I think is a terrible thing. 
(Laughter) 

 

drift 떠다니다, 떠돌다

 

Your first pocketknife is like the first universal tool that you're given. You know, it's a spatula, it's a pry bar, it's a screwdriver and it's a blade, yeah. And it's a powerful and empowering tool. And in a lot of cultures they give knives -- like, as soon as they're toddlers, they have knives. These are Inuit children cutting whale blubber. I first saw this in a Canadian Film Board film when I was 10, and it left a lasting impression, to see babies playing with knives. And it shows that kids can develop an extended sense of self through a tool at a very young age. You lay down a couple of very simple rules -- always cut away from your body, keep the blade sharp, never force it -- and these are things kids can understand and practice with. And yeah, they're going to cut themselves. I have some terrible scars on my legs from where I stabbed myself. But you know, they're young. They heal fast. 
(Laughter)

Number three: Throw a spear. It turns out that our brains are actually wired for throwing things, and like muscles, if you don't use parts of your brain, they tend to atrophy over time. But when you exercise them, any given muscle adds strength to the whole system, and that applies to your brain, too. So practicing throwing things has been shown to stimulate the frontal and parietal lobes, which have to do with visual acuity, 3D understanding, and structural problem solving, so it helps develop their visualization skills and their predictive ability. And throwing is a combination of analytical and physical skill, so it's very good for that kind of whole-body training. These kinds of target-based practices also help kids develop attention and concentration skills, so those are great.

atrophy 위축, 쇠약, 쇠퇴시키다
parietal lobe 두정엽, 마루엽
acuity 정확성, 예리함

Number [four]: Deconstruct appliances. There is a world of interesting things inside your dishwasher. Next time you're about to throw out an appliance, don't throw it out. Take it apart with your kid, or send him to my school, and we'll take it apart with them. Even if you don't know what the parts are, puzzling out what they might be for is a really good practice for the kids to get sort of the sense that they can take things apart, and no matter how complex they are, they can understand parts of them. And that means that eventually, they can understand all of them. It's a sense of knowability, that something is knowable. So these black boxes that we live with and take for granted are actually complex things made by other people, and you can understand them. 

Number five: Two-parter. Break the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. 
(Laughter) 

There are laws beyond safety regulations that attempt to limit how we can interact with the things that we own -- in this case, digital media. It's a very simple exercise: Buy a song on iTunes, write it to a CD, then rip the CD to an MP3, and play it on your very same computer. You've just broken a law. Technically, the RIAA could come and prosecute you. It's an important lesson for kids to understand, that some of these laws get broken by accident, and that laws have to be interpreted. That's something we often talk about with the kids when we're fooling around with things and breaking them open, and taking them apart and using them for other things. And also when we go out and drive a car. Driving a car is a really empowering act for a young child, so this is the alternate -- 

(Laughter) 

For those of you who aren't comfortable actually breaking the law, you can drive a car with your child. This is a great stage for a kid. This happens about the same time that they get latched onto things like dinosaurs, these big things in the outside world, that they're trying to get a grip on. A car is a similar object, and they can get in a car and drive it. And that really gives them a handle on a world in a way that they don't often have access to. And it's perfectly legal. Find a big empty lot, make sure there's nothing in it, and that it's on private property, and let them drive your car. It's very safe actually. And it's fun for the whole family. 

(Laughter) 

Let's see, I think that's it. That's number five and a half. OK. 

 

이상입니다. 위에서 5개를 통해서 많이 배울 수 있다고는 하지만 위험한거는 위험한거 같습니다. 그러니까, 혹시 시도하실 마음이 있으시면, 보호자의 관찰이 너무나도 중요하다는 것은 염두해 두시고 실행하시는걸 추천해 드립니다.

그럼 오늘도 공부 파이팅하시고, 조금이나마 영어 공부에 도움이 되셨으면 하네요. 감사합니다.
