[3] 2024 05 – 20: 중년의 연결 조직 부상에 대한 근육 훈련 권장

 

When you are middle-aged, the risk of connective tissue injuries peaks as decreased load tolerance combines with continued high activity levels. The path of least resistance is to stop doing the things that hurt ― avoid uncomfortable movements and find easier forms of exercise. However, that's the exact opposite of what you should do. There is a path forward. But it doesn't involve following the typical pain management advice of rest, ice, and medicine, which multiple reviews have shown is not effective for treating age-related joint pain and dysfunction. These methods do nothing more than treat superficial symptoms. The only practical solution is to strengthen your body with muscle training. Whether you've been training for a few years or a few decades, or haven't ever stepped foot in the weight room, it's not too late to restore your body, build real strength, and achieve your physical potential.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. Overcoming Age-Related Connective Tissue Injuries with Strength Training

2. The Importance of Muscle Training for Managing Middle-Aged Joint Pain

3. Why Rest and Medication Fall Short in Treating Age-Related Joint Issues

4. Building Strength to Restore Function and Reduce Pain in Middle Age

 

Main Idea #1:

Middle-aged individuals face increased risks of connective tissue injuries due to decreased load tolerance and ongoing activity.

 

Main Idea #2:

Rather than avoiding activity, the effective solution for age-related joint pain and dysfunction is to engage in muscle training to strengthen the body.

 

Summary:

Middle-aged adults experiencing joint pain should prioritize muscle training over traditional pain management methods like rest and medication, which often fail to address the root cause of their symptoms.

 

Key Points:

1. Connective tissue injuries peak in middle age due to reduced tolerance for physical loads.

2. Traditional pain management techniques are largely ineffective for age-related joint issues.

3. Strength training is crucial for rebuilding strength and improving joint function.

Turn the lights out and point the beam of a small flashlight up into one of your eyes. Shake the beam around while moving your gaze up and down. You should catch glimpses of what look like delicate branches. These branches are shadows of the blood vessels that lie on top of your retina. The vessels constantly cast shadows as light streams into the eye, but because these shadows never move, the brain ceases responding to them. Moving the flashlight beam around shifts the shadows just enough to make them momentarily visible. Now you might wonder if you could cause an image to fade just by staring at something unmoving. But that is not possible because the visual system constantly jiggles the eye muscles, which prevents the perfect stabilization of images of the world. These muscle movements are unbelievably small, but their effect is huge. Without them, we would go blind by tuning out what we see shortly after fixating our gaze! It's an interesting notion: Approximate perfection is better than perfect perfection.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. Exploring the Visual Phenomenon of Retinal Blood Vessel Shadows

2. How Tiny Eye Movements Prevent Visual Fade and Maintain Perception

3. The Role of Eye Muscle Jiggles in Continuous Visual Awareness

4. Uncovering the Invisible: How Blood Vessel Shadows Impact Vision

 

Main Idea #1:

Shining a flashlight into the eye reveals normally unseen shadows of retinal blood vessels, illustrating an unusual visual phenomenon.

 

Main Idea #2:

The constant, minute jiggles of eye muscles prevent images from fading by continuously adjusting the retina’s exposure to visual stimuli.

 

Summary:

Using a flashlight to manipulate eye lighting can reveal the shadowy outlines of retinal blood vessels, showcasing how subtle eye movements are crucial in preventing the visual system from tuning out static images.

 

Key Points:

1. Flashlight manipulation reveals shadows of retinal blood vessels, normally invisible.

2. The brain ignores these shadows under normal lighting due to their stability.

3. Micro-movements of eye muscles prevent images from fading out.

4. These tiny adjustments ensure continuous visual perception and prevent sensory adaptation.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 22: 경제적 이익과 야생 보호 간의 대립

 

Most opposition to wilderness preservation doesn't come from environmentalists but from corporate interests and developers. When wild places are designated as wilderness, they are closed to most commercial activities and residential or infrastructure development. There is thus frequently an economic cost to wilderness preservation. Some critics claim that when wilderness and economic interests clash, economic interests should normally prevail. This argument, even if it is sound, won't exclude all wilderness preservation efforts, because some wilderness areas have little economic value. But a deeper problem with the argument is that it views nature from a human-focused and excessively economic point of view. Allowing economic considerations to outweigh all other forms of value is inconsistent with the biocentric reasons that support wilderness preservation. Thus, while it certainly makes sense to weigh the economic costs of wilderness protection, especially when such costs are high, the biocentric values underlying wilderness preservation exclude viewing economic considerations as the most important.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. The Conflict Between Economic Interests and Wilderness Preservation

2. Reevaluating the Role of Economic Value in Wilderness Protection Efforts

3. Beyond Economics: Embracing Biocentric Values in Wilderness Preservation

4. The Limitations of an Economic Perspective on Nature and Wilderness

 

Main Idea #1:

Opposition to wilderness preservation primarily stems from corporate interests and developers rather than environmentalists, due to restrictions on commercial activities.

 

Main Idea #2:

While economic considerations are important in wilderness preservation debates, they should not overshadow the biocentric values that fundamentally justify protecting these areas.

 

Summary:

Critics often prioritize economic interests in wilderness preservation debates, but this approach overlooks the biocentric values essential to the concept of wilderness, which argue against reducing nature to mere economic resource.

 

Key Points:

1. Corporate and development interests are the main opponents of wilderness preservation.

2. Wilderness areas are often restricted from commercial exploitation, causing economic debates.

3. Economic perspectives are challenged by biocentric values that prioritize nature's intrinsic worth.

4. While economic impacts are a valid consideration, they should not dominate preservation decisions.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 23: 카페인 섭취가  화학에 미치는 영향

 

During the day, a molecule called adenosine builds up in your brain. Adenosine binds with receptors on nerve cells, or neurons, slowing down their activity and making you feel drowsy. But caffeine is also able to bind with these receptors, and by doing so it blocks adenosine's effect, making your neurons fire more and keeping you alert. Caffeine also activates a gland at the base of your brain. This releases hormones that tell the adrenal glands on your kidneys to produce adrenaline, causing your heart to beat faster and your blood pressure to rise. If, however, your daily caffeine intake is consistent, your brain will adapt to it. Your brain is like, 'Okay, every morning I'm getting this caffeine that's binding to these receptors and blocking adenosine from binding to them.' So your brain creates extra receptors to give adenosine more of an opportunity to bind with them and have its usual effect. And more adenosine is also produced to counteract the caffeine. That's why it takes more and more caffeine to have the same effect.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. The Interplay of Caffeine, Adenosine, and Brain Adaptation: How Alertness is Maintained

2. Understanding Caffeine’s Mechanism of Action and Its Effects on Brain Chemistry

3. The Science Behind Caffeine Tolerance: Adenosine Receptors and Neuronal Activity

4. How Caffeine Works to Keep You Alert and How the Brain Adapts Over Time

 

Main Idea #1:

Caffeine keeps you alert by binding to adenosine receptors in the brain, blocking the drowsiness-inducing effects of adenosine.

 

Main Idea #2:

With consistent caffeine intake, the brain adapts by creating more adenosine receptors and producing more adenosine, which diminishes caffeine's effectiveness and increases tolerance.

 

Summary:

Caffeine blocks the effects of adenosine, a molecule that induces drowsiness, by binding to its receptors, which keeps you alert. Over time, consistent caffeine consumption leads the brain to compensate by increasing adenosine receptors and production, necessitating higher doses of caffeine for the same alertness effect.

 

Key Points:

1. Adenosine accumulates during the day, promoting sleepiness by slowing neuronal activity.

2. Caffeine competes with adenosine for the same receptors, preventing drowsiness and increasing alertness.

3. Caffeine stimulates the production of adrenaline, raising heart rate and blood pressure.

4. Regular caffeine use leads to increased adenosine receptors and production, reducing its effectiveness and requiring higher consumption for the same alertness.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 24: 대양의 푸른색 발생 원인 설명

 

When viewed from space, one of the Earth's most commanding features is the blueness of its vast oceans. Small amounts of water do not indicate the color of these large bodies of water; when pure drinking water is examined in a glass, it appears clear and colorless. Apparently a relatively large volume of water is required to reveal the blue color. Why is this so? When light penetrates water, it experiences both absorption and scattering. Water molecules strongly absorb infrared and, to a lesser degree, red light. At the same time, water molecules are small enough to scatter shorter wavelengths, giving water its blue-green color. The amount of long-wavelength absorption is a function of depth; the deeper the water, the more red light is absorbed. At a depth of 15m, the intensity of red light drops to 25% of its original value and falls to zero beyond a depth of 30m. Any object viewed at this depth is seen in a blue-green light. For this reason, red inhabitants of the sea, such as lobsters and crabs, appear black to divers not carrying a lamp.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. Exploring the Blue Color of the Ocean: Absorption and Scattering of Light in Water

2. Why the Ocean Appears Blue: The Role of Light Penetration and Wavelength Absorption

3. The Science Behind Ocean Color: Light Absorption and Scattering at Various Depths

4. Understanding the Depth-Dependent Color Changes in the Ocean's Waters

 

Main Idea #1:

The blue color of the ocean is primarily due to the absorption of longer wavelengths and the scattering of shorter wavelengths by water molecules.

 

Main Idea #2:

In deep waters, red light is absorbed more efficiently, diminishing in intensity with depth, which affects how colors are perceived underwater.

 

Summary:

The vast blue appearance of the ocean from space results from selective light absorption and scattering by water molecules, which absorb red and infrared light while scattering shorter, blue-green wavelengths. Deeper water intensifies this effect, causing red light to weaken significantly, which alters the apparent color of objects submerged at depth.

 

Key Points:

1. Small volumes of water appear clear, while larger bodies exhibit a blue color due to the volume required for effective light absorption and scattering.

2. Water molecules absorb infrared and red light, but scatter blue-green wavelengths, giving the ocean its characteristic color.

3. The absorption of red light increases with water depth, diminishing its intensity and influencing how submerged objects are perceived.

4. At significant depths, red sea creatures appear black unless illuminated by an artificial light source.

[3] 2024 05 – 29: 새로운 병원균의 적응과 전파 과정

 

When a new pathogen emerges, one way it transitions from wherever it has been living into a new host may be the acquisition of new traits. Imagine that in its hourly struggle to survive over long periods of time and many generations, a fungus species might acquire a protective capsule ― a bit of coating ― that shields it or even masks it from other microbes or cells. Then it acquires some enzymes that enable it to survive whatever chemicals other microbes might throw at it. If it can overcome these chemicals, it may also overcome the same or similar chemicals used as antifungal drugs. Maybe it also evolves to tolerate warmer temperatures. Now we've got a yeast that once made its home in an apple tree or in a wetland but that at this point can live quite happily in our body, hide from our immune system, and disarm our drugs. Then some of us carry it from one country to another and then another, and eventually it finds a host in a hospital patient who has recently received an organ transplant or is elderly with a weakened immune system.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. The Evolutionary Journey of Pathogens from Nature to Human Hosts

2. Adapting to Survive: How Pathogens Develop Traits for Host Transition

3. The Emergence of Drug-Resistant Pathogens Through Natural Adaptations

4. From Environmental Niches to Human Hosts: The Adaptation of Yeast Pathogens

 

Main Idea #1:

Pathogens like certain fungi can acquire new traits such as protective coatings and enzymes to survive environmental challenges and antimicrobial substances.

 

Main Idea #2:

Through evolutionary adaptations, these pathogens become capable of living in human hosts, evading the immune system, and resisting antifungal drugs, posing significant risks especially in vulnerable populations.

 

Summary:

Pathogens evolve over time, gaining traits that allow them to survive harsh conditions and resist antimicrobial drugs, which can enable them to infect and thrive in human hosts, including those with compromised immune systems, such as hospital patients or the elderly.

 

Key Points:

1. Pathogens acquire protective traits and enzymes that help them survive environmental and chemical challenges.

2. These adaptations can also make pathogens resistant to drugs used in medical treatment.

3. Originally non-human pathogens can evolve to live in human bodies and evade immune defenses.

4. Global travel can spread such pathogens, leading to infections in vulnerable populations like transplant recipients or the elderly.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 30: 감정이 기억 형성에 미치는 영향

 

Memory is shaped by emotions connected to an experience. For this reason, inaccuracies often hide the full picture of what happened. For example, a company might decide to hire a consultant to assist with a major project. During this project, the consultant demonstrated some personality traits that clashed with a couple of the executives involved. Through the course of the project, they were able to put aside the personality conflicts in order to see their vision become a reality. Ultimately, the project was a success, enabling the company to move forward and profit. At a later date, the company, remembering the previous success, expressed an interest in hiring the same consultant for another large project. The executives who struggled with his personality last time may most vividly remember their difficulty in overcoming his personality and related emotions. In this case, the success of the project fades into the background as they focus on their previous experience, colored by their feelings of discomfort. As a result, they convince the company to exclude the consultant, making project completion more difficult.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. The Impact of Emotional Memory on Professional Decisions and Project Outcomes

2. How Emotions Influence Memory Recall in Business Environments

3. The Role of Emotional Experiences in Shaping Business Decision-Making

4. Navigating Personality Conflicts in the Workplace: A Case Study on Memory Bias

 

Main Idea #1:

Emotions linked to experiences can significantly influence memory recall, potentially leading to biased decision-making in professional settings.

 

Main Idea #2:

In the case of hiring a consultant, previous conflicts overshadowed memories of project success, affecting future hiring decisions and possibly hindering project completion.

 

Summary:

Emotionally charged memories, such as the discomfort from personality clashes with a consultant, can overshadow the success of past collaborations, influencing future business decisions negatively and complicating project executions.

 

Key Points:

1. Emotional experiences can shape and sometimes distort the memory of events in a business context.

2. Successful outcomes may be overshadowed by negative interpersonal memories, affecting future decisions.

3. In the given scenario, past personality conflicts with a consultant led executives to focus on negative aspects, despite previous project success.

4. This selective memory recall resulted in the decision not to rehire the consultant, complicating the completion of a new project.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 31: 색상의 사회적 의미와 규제

 

As colors came to take on meanings and cultural significance within societies, attempts were made to restrict their use. The most extreme example of this phenomenon was the sumptuary laws. While these were passed in ancient Greece and Rome, and examples can be found in ancient China and Japan, they found their fullest expressions in Europe from the mid-twelfth century, before slowly disappearing in the early modern period. Such laws could touch on anything from diet to dress and furnishings, and sought to enforce social boundaries by encoding the social classes into a clear visual system: the peasants, in other words, should eat and dress like peasants; craftsmen should eat and dress like craftsmen. Color was a vital signifier in this social language ― dull, earthy colors like russet were explicitly confined to the poorest rural peasants, while bright ones like scarlet were the preserve of a select few.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. The Role of Color in Enforcing Social Hierarchies Through Sumptuary Laws

2. Color and Class: The Impact of Sumptuary Laws on Social Stratification

3. Historical Uses of Color to Define Social Boundaries and Class Distinctions

4. Sumptuary Laws: How Colors Signified Social Status from Ancient Times to the Early Modern Period

 

Main Idea #1:

Sumptuary laws utilized color as a key element to enforce social boundaries, dictating what colors different social classes could wear or display.

 

Main Idea #2:

These laws, peaking in Europe during the medieval period, regulated not only clothing but also diet and furnishings to maintain a clear visual distinction between social classes.

 

Summary:

Sumptuary laws historically used color to enforce social hierarchies, restricting vibrant colors like scarlet to the elite, while confining peasants to earthy tones. These regulations extended beyond attire to include diet and home decor, clearly delineating social classes through visual means.

 

Key Points:

1. Sumptuary laws were used to enforce social boundaries by controlling the use of color in clothing and other aspects of life.

2. These laws were prevalent in ancient Greece, Rome, China, Japan, and notably in medieval Europe.

3. Colors played a critical role in these laws, with bright colors reserved for the upper classes and dull colors for the lower classes.

4. The laws also regulated other aspects of daily life, such as diet and furnishings, to maintain visual distinctions between classes.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 32: 뇌가 외부 세계를 인식하는 방식

 

John Douglas Pettigrew, a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland, found that the brain manages the external world by dividing it into separate regions, the peripersonal and the extrapersonal ― basically, near and far. Peripersonal space includes whatever is in arm's reach; things you can control right now by using your hands. This is the world of what's real, right now. Extrapersonal space refers to everything else ― whatever you can't touch unless you move beyond your arm's reach, whether it's three feet or three million miles away. This is the realm of possibility. With those definitions in place, another fact follows, obvious but useful: any interaction in the extrapersonal space must occur in the future. Or, to put it another way, distance is linked to time. For instance, if you're in the mood for a peach, but the closest one is sitting in a bin at the corner market, you can't enjoy it now. You can only enjoy it in the future, after you go get it.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. Understanding the Brain's Division of the World: Peripersonal and Extrapersonal Spaces

2. The Psychological Concepts of Near and Far: Insights from John Douglas Pettigrew

3. Spatial Divisions in the Brain: Immediate Realities and Distant Possibilities

4. How Distance Influences Perception and Interaction: A Psychological Perspective

 

Main Idea #1:

John Douglas Pettigrew discovered that the brain categorizes the external world into peripersonal (near) and extrapersonal (far) spaces, determining how we interact with our environment.

 

Main Idea #2:

This spatial division implies that anything within the extrapersonal space, or beyond immediate reach, involves future interactions, linking distance directly to time.

 

Summary:

John Douglas Pettigrew's research shows that the brain divides the world into peripersonal and extrapersonal spaces, the former being within arm's reach and the latter beyond it. This division highlights that interactions with distant objects or events, located in the extrapersonal space, are inherently linked to future actions.

 

Key Points:

1. Peripersonal space includes everything within arm's reach, directly controllable and tangible in the present.

2. Extrapersonal space encompasses all that lies beyond immediate reach, requiring movement and planning to interact.

3. The brain's spatial division reflects how we perceive and interact with our environment, affecting our psychological and physical responses.

4. The concept that interactions in extrapersonal space must occur in the future underscores the relationship between distance and time.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 33: 곤충을 잡는 식충식물의 독특한 메커니즘

 

Insect-eating plants' unique strategies for catching live prey have long captured the public imagination. But even within this strange group, in which food-trapping mechanisms have evolved multiple times independently, some unusual ones stand out. According to Ulrike Bauer, an evolutionary biologist, the visually striking pitcher plant Nepenthes gracilis, for example, can exploit external energy for a purpose. This species' pitcher has a rigid, horizontal lid with an exposed underside that produces nectar, luring insects to land on it. When a raindrop strikes the lid's top, the lid jolts downward and throws any unsuspecting visitor into digestive juices below. Researchers used x-ray scans to analyze cross sections of the pitchers when the lid is raised, lowered, and in a neutral position. Their results revealed a structural weak point in the pitcher's neck: when a raindrop hits the lid, the weak spot folds in and forces the lid to quickly move downward, similar to a diving board. The weak point makes the pitcher's body bend and bounce back in a specific, consistent way, so the lid rises back up without bouncing too far ― unlike a typical leaf's chaotic vibration when struck by rain.

Many fish generate their own light in a biological firework display called bioluminescence. The lanternfish creates beams that sweep the sea like headlamps. The dragonfish produces wavelengths that only it can see, leaving its victims unaware of the approaching threat. In contrast, the anglerfish hopes its prey will notice and be lured toward its rod-like bioluminescent barbel; its fierce jaws stay hidden in the shadows. Bioluminescence is also used to frustrate predators. A species from the spookfish family relies on a bellyful of symbiotic, glowing bacteria to save it from becoming a meal. It uses the same concept developed by the US Navy during World War II to make bomber aircraft difficult to see. Just as Project Yehudi designed planes with under-wing spotlights, the fish's glowing belly conceals its silhouette against sunlight to hide it from watching eyes below. In this fish-eat-fish world, survival is a game of hide-and-seek that prioritizes the sense of sight.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. The Art of Illumination: Bioluminescence in Marine Life for Predation and Defense

2. Natural Glow: How Marine Species Use Bioluminescence for Survival

3. Bioluminescent Tactics: Defensive and Offensive Strategies in Deep Sea Creatures

4. The Role of Bioluminescence in Marine Predator-Prey Dynamics

 

Main Idea #1:

Many fish species employ bioluminescence, creating their own light for various survival strategies, including predation and defense against predators.

 

Main Idea #2:

Bioluminescence is used by different species to either attract prey or camouflage themselves from predators, demonstrating its versatility as a survival tool in the ocean's depths.

 

Summary:

Bioluminescence serves as a critical survival tool in marine ecosystems, allowing species like lanternfish, dragonfish, and anglerfish to either hunt or hide. This natural phenomenon is adapted for offense in some species by attracting unsuspecting prey, while others use it defensively, mimicking wartime camouflage techniques to avoid predators.

 

Key Points:

1. Lanternfish use bioluminescence like headlamps to illuminate the deep sea and spot prey.

2. Dragonfish produce unique light wavelengths that are invisible to other species, making it a stealthy predator.

3. Anglerfish attract prey with a glowing lure, while hiding their dangerous jaws in the darkness.

4. Spookfish use glowing bacteria in their bellies to camouflage themselves against the light from above, similar to military counter-illumination tactics.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 35: 인류의 공통 조상과 생존 경쟁

 

The human race traces back to a surprisingly small number of common ancestors. It has been documented that the entire human race can be traced back to only seven different mothers, and one of these women is a common ancestor to roughly 40% of the human species. Why is this? The simple answer is that humans are extremely good at dying and at wiping each other out. History has had many successful rulers and conquerors who have got rid of entire populations, and even beyond that, our species has wiped out plenty of similar humanoid lines that existed on this earth. Scientific finds have so far discovered a number of other humanoid species that once shared the earth with us, some of which include Neanderthals and Denisovans. Yet of these lines, only homo sapiens have survived, only the modern humans. That itself shows how difficult it is for a species to survive and thrive long-term on this planet.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. The Genetic Bottlenecks and Ancestral Roots of Modern Humans

2. Tracing Humanity: From Seven Mothers to Global Domination

3. Survival of the Fittest: How Homo Sapiens Outlasted Other Humanoids

4. The Remarkable Resilience and Ruthlessness of Human Ancestors

 

Main Idea #1:

Humanity's lineage can be traced back to a surprisingly small group of ancestors, including seven maternal progenitors, with one woman being an ancestor to a significant portion of today's population.

 

Main Idea #2:

The dominance of Homo sapiens over other humanoid species, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans, highlights the harsh realities of survival and competition that have characterized human history.

 

Summary:

The human race originates from a small number of maternal ancestors, with extensive evidence suggesting one woman is a common ancestor to about 40% of all humans. This genetic bottleneck reflects the harsh history of human survival, where many other humanoid species were wiped out, leaving only Homo sapiens to continue the lineage.

 

Key Points:

1. Genetic studies have identified that all humans share a remarkably small number of common maternal ancestors.

2. One of these ancestors is particularly significant, contributing genetically to 40% of the modern human population.

3. Historical patterns of conquest and extinction have played a crucial role in shaping the current human gene pool.

4. Homo sapiens are the sole survivors among several humanoid species that once inhabited Earth, emphasizing the harsh conditions and competitive nature of human evolution.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 36: 시간 여행의 개념에 대한 철학적 탐구

 

Philosophers who seek to understand the nature of time might consider the possibility of time travel. But there are no real-life cases of time travel. In situations such as this, philosophers often construct thought experiments ―imagined scenarios that bring out the thoughts and presuppositions underlying people's judgments. Sometimes these scenarios are drawn from books, movies, and television. Other times, philosophers just make up their own scenarios. Either way, the point is to put such concepts to the test. In the case of time travel, for example, a common thought experiment is to imagine what would happen if you went back in time and found yourself in a position to interfere in such a way that you were never born. It seems that something must happen to prevent you from doing this, because if you were to succeed, you would not exist and so you would not have been able to go back in time. As a result of thinking through these sorts of cases, some philosophers claim that the very notion of time travel makes no sense.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. Exploring the Paradoxes of Time Travel Through Philosophical Thought Experiments

2. The Logical Conundrums of Time Travel: A Philosophical Inquiry

3. Time Travel in Philosophy: Examining the Grandfather Paradox

4. Testing the Boundaries of Time Travel with Thought Experiments

 

Main Idea #1:

Philosophers use thought experiments to explore the theoretical possibility of time travel and the logical problems associated with it.

 

Main Idea #2:

A common philosophical scenario involves the paradox where time travelers might prevent their own existence, leading some philosophers to question the coherence of time travel as a concept.

 

Summary:

Philosophers utilize thought experiments, including hypothetical scenarios drawn from popular culture or their own imaginations, to probe the complexities and paradoxes of time travel. One notable experiment involves the contradiction of altering past events in such a way that the time traveler never exists, challenging the logical possibility of time travel itself.

 

Key Points:

1. Philosophers employ thought experiments to understand and test the concept of time travel.

2. Scenarios often involve altering past events with significant personal consequences, such as preventing one's own birth.

3. These experiments reveal inherent logical contradictions, such as the impossibility of performing an action in the past that would negate the traveler's future existence.

4. The examination of these paradoxes often leads philosophers to conclude that time travel might be conceptually flawed.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 37: 수면  감각 정보의 차단 과정

 

A universal indicator of sleep is the loss of external awareness. You are no longer conscious of all that surrounds you, at least not explicitly. In actual fact, your ears are still 'hearing'; your eyes, though closed, are still capable of 'seeing.' All these signals still flood into the center of your brain while you sleep, but they are blocked by a perceptual barricade set up in a structure called the thalamus. The thalamus decides which sensory signals are allowed through its gate, and which are not. Should they be granted its permission to pass, they are sent to the cortex at the top of your brain, where they are consciously perceived. By locking its gates shut, the thalamus imposes a sensory blackout in the brain, preventing onward travel of those signals to the cortex. As a result, you are no longer consciously aware of the information broadcasts being transmitted from your outer sense organs. At this moment, your brain has lost waking contact with the outside world. Said another way, you are now asleep.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. How the Thalamus Controls Sensory Input During Sleep

2. The Role of the Thalamus in Sensory Processing and Sleep Awareness

3. Understanding the Mechanism of Sensory Blackout in Sleep

4. The Thalamus: Gatekeeper of Conscious Awareness in Sleep

 

Main Idea #1:

During sleep, the thalamus acts as a gatekeeper by selectively blocking sensory signals from reaching the cortex, resulting in a loss of external awareness.

 

Main Idea #2:

This sensory blockade ensures that although the brain continues to receive inputs from the senses, these do not reach the consciousness, thereby maintaining the state of sleep.

 

Summary:

In sleep, the thalamus prevents sensory signals from passing to the cortex, effectively cutting off conscious awareness of the external world. This mechanism ensures that, despite ongoing sensory activity, the brain remains detached from waking perceptions and fully engaged in the sleep state.

 

Key Points:

1. Loss of external awareness is a key indicator of sleep, characterized by a sensory blackout.

2. The thalamus plays a crucial role by filtering sensory information received during sleep.

3. Only signals approved by the thalamus are forwarded to the cortex for conscious perception.

4. By blocking most sensory inputs, the thalamus helps maintain the unconscious state necessary for sleep.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 38: 윤리적 의사결정에서의 감정적 요소

 

Emotional response to the world is an inherent part of ethics. In ethics, appeals to compassion and empathy can and should be part of rational arguments about ethical decisions. Moreover, the best practices of objectivity often combine partiality and impartiality. In a trial, the partiality of the prosecutor and the defense attorney (and the parties they represent) occurs within a larger impartial context. A judge or jury puts partial arguments to the test of objective evidence and to the impartial rules of law. Ideally, what is fair and objective emerges during a trial where partialities make their case and are judged by objective norms. The norms of objectivity were constructed not because their creators thought most humans could be 'empty' of bias. The reverse is true: the norms were constructed because of an acute awareness of human bias, because it is evident. Rather than conclude that objectivity is impossible because bias is universal, scientists, journalists, and others concluded the opposite: we biased humans need the discipline of objectivity to reduce the ineliminable presence of bias.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. The Role of Emotional Intelligence in Ethical Decision-Making

2. Balancing Partiality and Impartiality in Ethical Judgments

3. The Construct of Objectivity in Response to Human Bias

4. Ethics, Emotions, and Objectivity: A Framework for Rational Decisions

 

Main Idea #1:

Emotional responses such as compassion and empathy are integral to forming rational ethical arguments and decisions.

 

Main Idea #2:

Objectivity in ethics is achieved by acknowledging and balancing both partial and impartial elements, as seen in legal trials where objective norms assess partial arguments.

 

Summary:

Ethical decision-making incorporates both emotional responses and objectivity, acknowledging human bias while striving for impartiality. In legal contexts, the interplay of partiality and impartiality helps reveal what is fair through the application of objective norms, demonstrating that objectivity is necessary despite inherent biases.

 

Key Points:

1. Compassion and empathy are essential components of ethical reasoning, complementing rational analysis.

2. Objectivity in ethics involves a synthesis of partial and impartial perspectives to achieve fairness.

3. Legal trials exemplify how objective evidence and impartial laws assess partial arguments from opposing sides.

4. The norms of objectivity were developed not from an unrealistic expectation of bias-free humans but from a recognition of the ubiquity of bias and the need for a systematic approach to mitigate it.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 39: 고양이의 야간 시력과 생물학적 적응

 

The fact that cats' eyes glow in the dark is part of their enhanced light-gathering efficiency; there is a reflective layer behind the retina, so light can hit the retina when it enters the eye, or when it is reflected from behind the retina. Light that manages to miss the retina exits the eye and creates that ghostly glow. When cats' light-gathering ability is combined with the very large population of rods in their eyes, the result is a predator that can see exceptionally well in the dark. Cats 'pay' for this nighttime accuracy with less accurate daytime vision and an inability to focus on close objects. This may seem counterproductive; what is the point of seeing a mouse in the dark if, in that final, close moment, the cat can't focus on it? Tactile information comes into play at this time; cats can move their whiskers forward and use them to get information about objects within the grasp of their jaws. So the next time you see a cat seeming to nap in the bright sunlight, eyes half-closed, remember that it may simply be shielding its retina from a surplus of light.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. The Science Behind Cats' Night Vision and Its Trade-offs

2. How Cats See: Nighttime Predators with Compromised Day Vision

3. The Dual Nature of Feline Vision: Superior Night Sight at a Cost

4. Understanding the Mechanisms and Limitations of Cat Vision

 

Main Idea #1:

Cats' eyes contain a reflective layer behind the retina which enhances their ability to gather light, enabling them to see exceptionally well in the dark.

 

Main Idea #2:

While cats excel in nighttime vision due to their eye structure and a high density of rods, they experience less accurate vision in daylight and difficulty focusing on close objects.

 

Summary:

Cats have evolved to have excellent night vision, supported by a reflective layer behind the retina and numerous rods in their eyes, which allows them to see in low light. However, this adaptation comes at the cost of less precise vision during the day and difficulty focusing on nearby objects, which they compensate for using their whiskers to gather tactile information.

 

Key Points:

1. Cats' eyes have a reflective layer called the tapetum lucidum that enhances night vision by reflecting light that passes through the retina back into it.

2. This structure allows cats to see well in low-light conditions, making them effective nocturnal hunters.

3. Their daytime vision is compromised, and they have a limited ability to focus on objects close to them.

4. Cats use their whiskers as tactile sensors to compensate for their near-focus limitations, helping them detect nearby objects effectively.

In one study, researchers gave more than five hundred visitors to an art museum a special glove that reported their movement patterns along with physiological data such as their heart rates. The data showed that when people were not distracted by chatting with companions, they actually had a stronger emotional response to the art. Of course, there's nothing wrong with chatting and letting the art slide past, but think of the inspiration those museum visitors missed out on. Then apply that to life in general. When we surround ourselves with other people, we're not just missing out on the finer details of an art exhibition. We're missing out on the chance to reflect and understand ourselves better. In fact, studies show that if we never allow ourselves to be alone, it's just plain harder for us to learn. Other research found that young people who cannot stand being alone were less likely to develop creative skills like playing an instrument or writing because the most effective practice of these abilities is often done while alone. [요약문] The study above shows avoiding conversation with companions while exploring an art museum intensifies emotional response to art, suggesting that absence of alone time may inhibit personal growth and learning.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. Enhancing Emotional Responses to Art Through Solitude: Insights from a Museum Study

2. The Impact of Social Interaction on Art Appreciation and Personal Growth

3. The Benefits of Solitary Experiences in Enhancing Art Perception and Creativity

4. Exploring the Link Between Solitude and Emotional Engagement with Art

 

Main Idea #1:

Research involving art museum visitors with monitoring gloves showed that individuals had stronger emotional responses to art when they were not distracted by conversation.

 

Main Idea #2:

The study suggests that solitude not only enhances art appreciation but also plays a crucial role in personal development and the acquisition of creative skills.

 

Summary:

A study monitoring museum visitors found that those who explored art alone had heightened emotional responses compared to those who chatted with companions. This highlights the broader benefits of solitude, which includes deeper personal reflection and better learning outcomes, as well as the development of creative abilities like music and writing, which require significant alone time.

 

Key Points:

1. Visitors to an art museum who wore special gloves showed more intense emotional reactions to art when not conversing with others.

2. The absence of distractions allows for a deeper connection with art, suggesting that solitude can enhance sensory and emotional experiences.

3. Solitude is not only beneficial for appreciating art but is also crucial for personal growth and learning.

4. Independent activities, such as practicing musical instruments or writing, are most effectively developed in solitude,

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 41~42: 색맹의 생물학적  진화적 측면

 

There are a number of human characteristics that would seem to be disadvantageous yet continue to survive, generation after generation. One example is color blindness. Most color blindness is associated with genes on the X chromosome. Women have two X chromosomes, so if this problem occurs on one of them, the other can compensate. But men have only one X chromosome. If the mutation occurs there, that male is color blind. We might ask why such a deficiency would survive and not die out. To understand this, we can consider ancient hunter-gatherers, with the men doing most of the hunting for meat and the women doing most of the gathering of fruits and nuts. Gathering fruits, especially berries, and nuts is much more productive if it is easy to distinguish the red or purple fruit from the green leaves of the plant. If red-green color blindness were common among women, the resulting lack of productivity would likely cause this trait to die out relatively quickly. On the other hand, the men out hunting don't much rely on being able to contrast red from green. Most of the animals they are hunting have fur or feathers that help them hide. Rather than relying on color, the hunter relies on an acute ability to detect motion. It is conceivable that a reduction in color contrast in these circumstances might actually enhance one's ability to detect subtle motions. Given that a hunted animal blends into its surroundings, less background color variation would be less of a visual distraction.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. The Survival of Color Blindness: A Genetic Trait Shaped by Evolutionary Needs

2. Color Blindness in Humans: An Evolutionary Perspective on its Persistence

3. The Role of Color Perception in Hunter-Gatherer Societies and the Evolution of Color Blindness

4. Understanding Why Color Blindness Has Not Been Eliminated Through Evolution

 

Main Idea #1:

Color blindness, predominantly linked to the X chromosome, persists in human populations despite its seeming disadvantages, especially in males who only have one X chromosome.

 

Main Idea #2:

Evolutionary roles in ancient societies, where men primarily hunted and women gathered, may explain the survival of color blindness, as the mutation could have had minimal impact on hunting success while being more disadvantageous for gathering tasks.

 

Summary:

Color blindness continues to exist in humans due to its genetic basis and potentially advantageous implications in historical contexts. While it could pose a disadvantage in tasks like fruit gathering, where color differentiation is crucial, it may have offered benefits to hunters by reducing color distractions and enhancing motion detection.

 

Key Points:

1. Color blindness is linked to the X chromosome, with men at higher risk because they possess only one X chromosome.

2. The trait's persistence may be explained through the distinct roles of men and women in ancient hunter-gatherer societies.

3. While potentially detrimental for women gatherers who needed to distinguish colorful fruits, color blindness might have aided male hunters by minimizing visual distractions and enhancing their ability to spot movement.

4. This evolutionary perspective suggests that color blindness was not sufficiently disadvantageous to be selected against in human populations, particularly among men.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 43~45: 서로 다른 관점이 모두 옳을  있음을 깨달은 쌍둥이 자매

 

Pamela and Maggie were identical twins. Even their parents found it hard to tell them apart. But although they looked identical, they were different in every other way. They didn't have anything in common, so they fought all the time. Pamela thought that her sister was weird and incomprehensible, and of course Maggie felt the same way. For example, Pamela was always upset at her sister waking up early in the morning. She didn't understand why her sister couldn't finish what she needed to do at night and sleep peacefully the next morning. To Maggie, staying up past the time she began to feel sleepy was exhausting. Besides, she loved the fresh morning air. They had fights about simple things like this every day. Tired of the endless arguments, their mother Rachel decided to put an end to them. She would make them understand that each of their points of view could be correct. One day, the twins were brought to the dining table where a big board stood in the middle. Pamela sat on one side of the board and her twin on the other. Rachel asked Pamela what the color of the board was. "Black," she said. After hearing Pamela's answer, Rachel asked the same question to the other daughter. She replied it was white. Predictably, they began arguing. Rachel then asked them to switch seats. Each sitting on a new chair, they were surprised to realize the board was black on one side and white on the other. Understanding what their mother wanted to say, they promised they would never insist the other was wrong again.

 

 

Possible Titles:

1. The Tale of Two Perspectives: A Lesson in Understanding from Identical Twins

2. Seeing Both Sides: How Identical Twins Learned the Value of Perspective

3. Black or White: A Mother's Strategy to End Twin Rivalry

4. The Two Sides of the Board: Teaching Twins About Perspective

 

Main Idea #1:

Pamela and Maggie, identical twins with differing preferences and habits, frequently argued due to their inability to understand each other’s perspectives.

 

Main Idea #2:

Their mother, Rachel, devised an educational exercise using a two-colored board to teach the twins that both perspectives could be valid, leading to a resolution in their conflicts.

 

Summary:

Identical in appearance but divergent in personality, Pamela and Maggie clashed over daily routines until their mother intervened with a lesson in perspective. Using a board painted black on one side and white on the other, she demonstrated that both twins' viewpoints could be correct depending on their perspective, resolving their conflicts by fostering mutual understanding.

 

Key Points:

1. Pamela and Maggie are identical twins who constantly fought over their differing lifestyles and perspectives.

2. Their mother, Rachel, tired of their endless bickering, planned an exercise to teach them about perspective.

3. During the exercise, each twin saw the board as a different color from opposite sides, leading to an argument.

4. By switching seats, they realized the board had two different colors, understanding that both of their views were correct.

5. This experience taught them the importance of acknowledging and respecting different perspectives, promising to not dismiss each other's viewpoints in the future.

[3] 2024 05 – 19잘못된 퀴즈로 인한 학생의 긴장 해소
① Charles was taking a quiz in his math class. Charles는 수학 시간에 퀴즈를 보고 있었다.
② He stared at the questions, but they looked completely unfamiliar. 그는 그 문제들을 유심히 살펴보았지만 그것들은 완전히 낯설게 보였다.
③ Charles flipped through the pages of the quiz for a while. Charles는 한동안 퀴즈 문제지를 넘겨 보았다.
④ His palms grew sweaty as he realized that he didn't know a single answer. 그가 하나의 정답도 알지 못한다는 것을 깨닫고 그의 손바닥에서 땀이 났다.
⑤ A moment later, a few other students began raising their hands. 잠시 후 몇몇 다른 학생들이 손을 들기 시작했다.
⑥ One said, "I don't think we ever learned about the stuff on this quiz, Mrs. Smith." 한 학생이 "Smith 선생님, 제 생각에 저희는 이 퀴즈에 나오는 것들을 한 번도 배운 적이 없는 것 같아요."라고 말했다.
⑦ The teacher quickly looked over a copy of the quiz and announced, "I'm sorry, class. 선생님은 퀴즈 문제지를 빠르게 살펴보고 "미안해요, 여러분.
⑧ It appears that I have given you the wrong quiz by mistake. 실수로 여러분에게 잘못된 문제지를 준 것 같아요.
⑨ We'll take the right quiz next class." 우리는 다음 시간에 올바른 퀴즈를 보겠습니다."라고 알렸다.
⑩ As Charles heard what the teacher said, the tension in his shoulders began to melt away. Charles는 선생님이 말씀하신 것을 듣자 어깨의 긴장이 차츰 사라지기 시작했다.

④ There is a path forward. 앞으로 나아가는 길이 있다.
⑤ But it doesn't involve following the typical pain management advice of rest, ice, and medicine, which multiple reviews have shown is not effective for treating age-related joint pain and dysfunction. 하지만 그것은 휴식, 얼음찜질 및 의약품의 전형적인 통증 관리 조언을 따르는 것을 포함하지 않는데, 다수의 비평은 이것이 나이와 관련된 관절 통증과기능 장애를 치료하는 데 효과적이지 않다는 것을보여 주었다.
⑥ These methods do nothing more than treat superficial symptoms. 이 방법들은 표면적인 증상을 치료하는 것에 지나지 않는다.
⑦ The only practical solution is to strengthen your body with muscle training. 유일한 실질적인 해결책은 근육 훈련으로 여러분의신체를 강화하는 것이다.
⑧ Whether you've been training for a few years or a few decades, or haven't ever stepped foot in the weight room, it's not too late to restore your body, build real strength, and achieve your physical potential. 여러분이 몇 년이나 몇십 년 동안 운동을 해 왔든지혹은 체력 단련실에 발을 디딘 적이 전혀 없든지 간에 여러분의 몸을 회복하고, 실질적인 힘을 기르고,신체적인 잠재력을 실현하는 것은 너무 늦지 않다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 21눈을 통한 시각적 인식의 메커니즘 설명
① Turn the lights out and point the beam of a small flashlight up into one of your eyes. 조명을 끄고 작은 손전등의 빛줄기가 여러분의 한쪽 눈 안을 향하게 하라.
② Shake the beam around while moving your gaze up and down. 여러분의 시선을 위아래로 움직이면서 빛줄기를 이리저리 흔들어라.
③ You should catch glimpses of what look like delicate branches. 여러분은 미세한 가지들처럼 보이는 것을 얼핏 보게 될 것이다.
④ These branches are shadows of the blood vessels that lie on top of your retina. 이 가지들은 여러분의 망막 위에 있는 혈관의 그림자들이다.
⑤ The vessels constantly cast shadows as light streams into the eye, but because these shadows never move, the brain ceases responding to them. 그 혈관들은 빛이 눈으로 흘러 들어오는 동안 끊임없이 그림자를 드리우지만, 이 그림자들은 절대 움직이지 않기 때문에 뇌가 이것들에 반응하는 것을멈춘다.
⑥ Moving the flashlight beam around shifts the shadows just enough to make them momentarily visible. 손전등 빛줄기를 이리저리 움직이는 것은 그림자가잠깐 눈에 보이게 할 만큼만 그림자를 이동시킨다.
⑦ Now you might wonder if you could cause an image to fade just by staring at something unmoving. 이제 여러분은 움직이지 않는 무언가를 단지 응시하는 것만으로도 이미지가 사라지도록 할 수 있는지 궁금해할지도 모른다.
⑧ But that is not possible because the visual system constantly jiggles the eye muscles, which prevents the perfect stabilization of images of the world. 그러나 시각 체계가 끊임없이 눈의 근육을 가볍게흔들고 있고 이것이 세상의 이미지들의 완벽한 안정화를 막기 때문에 그것은 불가능하다.
⑨ These muscle movements are unbelievably small, but their effect is huge. 이 근육의 움직임들은 믿을 수 없을 정도로 작지만그 효과는 엄청나다.
⑩ Without them, we would go blind by tuning out what we see shortly after fixating our gaze! 그것들이 없으면 우리는 시선을 고정한 직후에 보고 있는 것을 무시함으로써 보지 못하게 될 것이다!
⑪ It's an interesting notion: 이것은 흥미로운 개념이다.
⑫ Approximate perfection is better than perfect perfection. 근사치의 완벽함이 완벽한 완벽함보다 더 낫다.

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 22경제적 이익과 야생 보호 간의 대립
① Most opposition to wilderness preservation doesn't come from environmentalists but from corporate interests and developers. 야생 보호 구역 보존에 대한 대부분의 반대는 환경론자들로부터가 아니라 기업 관계자와 개발자들로부터 나온다.
② When wild places are designated as wilderness, they are closed to most commercial activities and residential or infrastructure development. 야생의 지역이 야생 보호 구역으로 지정되면 그 지역은 대부분의 상업 활동 및 주거 또는 기반 시설개발이 금지된다.
③ There is thus frequently an economic cost to wilderness preservation. 따라서 야생 보호 구역 보존에는 흔히 경제적인 비용이 존재한다.
④ Some critics claim that when wilderness and economic interests clash, economic interests should normally prevail. 일부 비평가들은 야생 보호 구역과 경제적 이익이충돌할 때 경제적 이익이 일반적으로 우세해야 한다고 주장한다.
⑤ This argument, even if it is sound, won't exclude all wilderness preservation efforts, because some wilderness areas have little economic value. 이러한 주장은, 비록 타당할지라도, 일부 야생 보호구역은 경제적인 가치가 거의 없기 때문에 모든 야생 보호 구역 보존 노력을 배제하지는 않을 것이다.
⑥ But a deeper problem with the argument is that it views nature from a human-focused and excessively economic point of view. 그러나 이 주장의 더 심층적인 문제점은 그것이 자연을 인간 중심적이고 지나치게 경제적인 관점에서본다는 것이다.
⑦ Allowing economic considerations to outweigh all other forms of value is inconsistent with the biocentric reasons that support wilderness preservation. 경제적인 고려 사항이 모든 다른 형태의 가치를 능가하도록 두는 것은 야생 보호 구역 보존을 지지하는 생명 중심적인 이유들에 부합하지 않는다.
⑧ Thus, while it certainly makes sense to weigh the economic costs of wilderness protection, especially when such costs are high, the biocentric values underlying wilderness preservation exclude viewing economic considerations as the most important. 따라서 특히 그러한 비용이 높을 때 야생 보호 구역보호의 경제적 비용을 따져 보는 것이 분명히 타당하지만, 야생 보호 구역 보존의 근본이 되는 생명중심적인 가치는 경제적인 고려를 가장 중요한 것으로 여기는 것을 배제한다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 23카페인 섭취가  화학에 미치는 영향
① During the day, a molecule called adenosine builds up in your brain. 낮 동안에 아데노신이라고 불리는 분자가 여러분의뇌에 쌓인다.
② Adenosine binds with receptors on nerve cells, or neurons, slowing down their activity and making you feel drowsy. 아데노신은 신경 세포들, 다시 말해 뉴런들의 수용체들과 결합해 그것들의 활동을 늦추고 여러분이나른함을 느끼게 한다.
③ But caffeine is also able to bind with these receptors, and by doing so it blocks adenosine's effect, making your neurons fire more and keeping you alert. 그러나 카페인 역시 이 수용체들과 결합할 수 있고, 그렇게 함으로써 그것이 아데노신의 효과를 차단하여 뉴런을 더 활성화시키고 여러분이 깨어 있도록유지시킨다.
④ Caffeine also activates a gland at the base of your brain. 카페인은 또한 뇌 기저부의 분비선을 활성화시킨다.
⑤ This releases hormones that tell the adrenal glands on your kidneys to produce adrenaline, causing your heart to beat faster and your blood pressure to rise. 이것은 신장에 있는 부신이 아드레날린을 생산하도록 하는 호르몬을 분비시켜 여러분의 심장을 더욱빨리 뛰게 하고 혈압이 올라가게 한다.
⑥ If, however, your daily caffeine intake is consistent, your brain will adapt to it. 하지만 여러분의 하루 카페인 섭취량이 일정하다면뇌가 이에 적응할 것이다.
⑦ Your brain is like, 'Okay, every morning I'm getting this caffeine that's binding to these receptors and blocking adenosine from binding to them.' 여러분의 뇌는 이와 같다. '그래, 매일 아침 나는 이수용체들과 결합해서 아데노신이 그것들과 결합하는 것을 막는 이 카페인을 섭취하고 있군.'
⑧ So your brain creates extra receptors to give adenosine more of an opportunity to bind with them and have its usual effect. 그래서 여러분의 뇌는 아데노신에게 그것들(수용체)과 결합하여 평소의 효과를 낼 더 많은 기회를주기 위해 추가의 수용체들을 만들어 낸다.
⑨ And more adenosine is also produced to counteract the caffeine. 그리고 카페인에 대응하기 위해 더 많은 아데노신이 또한 생성된다.
⑩ That's why it takes more and more caffeine to have the same effect. 그것이 같은 효과를 내기 위해서 점점 더 많은 카페인이 필요한 이유다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 24대양의 푸른색 발생 원인 설명
① When viewed from space, one of the Earth's most commanding features is the blueness of its vast oceans. 우주에서 보았을 때 지구의 가장 인상적인 특징들중 하나는 드넓은 바다의 푸르름이다.
② Small amounts of water do not indicate the color of these large bodies of water; when pure drinking water is examined in a glass, it appears clear and colorless. 적은 양의 물은 이러한 많은 양의 물의 색을 나타내지 않고, 깨끗한 식수가 유리잔 속에서 검사될 때그것은 맑고 무색인 것처럼 보인다.
③ Apparently a relatively large volume of water is required to reveal the blue color. 파란색을 드러내기 위해서는 분명 비교적 많은 양의 물이 필요하다.
④ Why is this so? 이것은 왜 그런 것일까?
⑤ When light penetrates water, it experiences both absorption and scattering. 빛이 물을 관통할 때 그것은 흡수와 산란 둘 다를겪는다.
⑥ Water molecules strongly absorb infrared and, to a lesser degree, red light. 물 분자는 적외선을 강하게 흡수하고 더 적은 정도로 붉은빛을 흡수한다.
⑦ At the same time, water molecules are small enough to scatter shorter wavelengths, giving water its blue-green color. 동시에 물 분자는 더 짧은 파장을 산란시키기에 충분히 작아서 물에 청록색을 부여한다.
⑧ The amount of long-wavelength absorption is a function of depth; the deeper the water, the more red light is absorbed. 장파장 흡수의 양은 수심의 작용이다. 즉, 물이 더깊을수록 더 많은 붉은빛이 흡수된다.
⑨ At a depth of 15m, the intensity of red light drops to 25% of its original value and falls to zero beyond a depth of 30m. 15미터 수심에서는 붉은빛의 강도가 기존 값의25%로 떨어지고 30미터 이상의 수심에서는 0으로떨어진다.
⑩ Any object viewed at this depth is seen in a blue-green light. 이 수심에서 보이는 모든 물체는 청록빛 내에서 보인다.
⑪ For this reason, red inhabitants of the sea, such as lobsters and crabs, appear black to divers not carrying a lamp. 이러한 이유로 바닷가재와 게와 같은 바다의 붉은색 서식 동물들은 램프를 들고 있지 않은 잠수부들에게는 검게 보인다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 25세대별 챗봇 플랫폼 선호도 차이
① The above graph shows the percentage of preferable chatbot platforms by age categorized by Generation Z, Millennials, and Generation X. 위 그래프는 Z세대, 밀레니얼 세대 그리고 X세대로분류된 연령대별로 선호하는 챗봇 플랫폼의 비율을보여 준다.
② Millennials and Generation X had the highest percentage of respondents who preferred Desktop Websites while Generation Z had the highest percentage for Messenger Apps. 밀레니얼 세대와 X세대는 데스크톱 웹사이트를 선호하는 응답자의 가장 높은 비율을 가진 반면 Z세대는 메신저 앱에 대해 가장 높은 비율을 가졌다.
③ In Generation Z, the percentage of respondents who preferred Mobile Apps was more than twice that of those who preferred Voice Assistant Devices. Z세대 내에서, 모바일 앱을 선호하는 응답자의 비율은 음성 지원 장치를 선호하는 응답자 비율의 두배보다 더 높았다.
④ Messenger Apps was the only platform where the percentage of respondents' preference for it sank lower and lower from Generation Z, to Millennials, to Generation X. 메신저 앱은 Z세대, 밀레니얼 세대, X세대로 갈수록 그것에 대한 응답자의 선호 비율이 점점 더 낮아진 유일한 플랫폼이었다.
⑤ The percentage point gap between Millennial and Generation X respondents who preferred Mobile Apps was larger than the percentage point gap between the same two groups for Voice Assistant Devices. 모바일 앱을 선호하는 밀레니얼 세대와 X세대의 응답자의 비율 수치 격차는 음성 지원 장치에 대한 동일한 두 집단 사이의 비율 수치 격차보다 더 컸다.
⑥ The percentage of respondents who preferred Mobile Websites was the lowest in all the age groups. 모바일 웹사이트를 선호하는 응답자들의 비율은 모든 연령 집단에서 가장 낮았다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 26: José Saramago 문학적 경력과 영향
① José Saramago was born in 1922 to a family of farmers in a little village north of Lisbon. José Saramago는 1922년에 Lisbon 북쪽의 작은마을에 있는 농부의 가정에서 태어났다.
② For financial reasons he abandoned his high-school studies and worked as a mechanic. 그는 재정적인 이유로 고등학교 공부를 그만두었고정비공으로 일을 했다.
③ At this time, he acquired a taste for reading and started to frequent a public library in Lisbon in his free time. 이때, 그는 독서에 흥미가 생겨 여가 시간에 Lisbon에 있는 공립 도서관을 자주 방문하기 시작했다.
④ After trying different jobs in the civil service, he worked for a publishing company for twelve years and then as an editor of the newspaper 'Diario de Noticias.' 공직에서 여러 가지 일을 해 본 뒤에 그는 출판사에서 12년간 일한 후, 신문사 'Diario de Noticias'의편집자로 일했다.
⑤ Between 1975 and 1980 Saramago supported himself as a translator, but after his literary successes in the 1980s he devoted himself to his own writing. 1975년부터 1980년까지 Saramago는 번역가로생계를 유지했지만 1980년대의 문학적인 성공 이후로는 자신의 글쓰기에 몰두했다.
⑥ He achieved worldwide recognition in 1982 with the humorous love story Baltasar and Blimunda, a novel set in 18th-century Portugal. 그는 18세기 포르투갈을 배경으로 한 소설인 해학적인 사랑 이야기 'Baltasar and Blimunda'로1982년에 세계적인 인정을 받았다.
⑦ Saramago's oeuvre totals 30 works, and comprises not only novels but also poetry, essays and drama. Saramago의 전체 작품은 총 30편에 이르고 소설뿐만 아니라 시, 수필, 희곡 등도 포함한다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 29새로운 병원균의 적응과 전파 과정
① When a new pathogen emerges, one way it transitions from wherever it has been living into a new host may be the acquisition of new traits. 새로운 병원균이 출현할 때, 어디였든지 간에 그것이 살고 있던 곳으로부터 새로운 숙주로 전이하는한 가지 방법은 새로운 특성의 습득일 수 있다.
② Imagine that in its hourly struggle to survive over long periods of time and many generations, a fungus species might acquire a protective capsule ― a bit of coating ― that shields it or even masks it from other microbes or cells. 오랜 기간과 많은 세대를 거쳐 살아남기 위한 그것(균류종)의 매시간의 분투에서 균류종이 자신을 보호하거나 심지어 다른 미생물이나 세포로부터 자신을 숨기는 약간의 코팅인 보호용 피막을 얻을지도모른다는 것을 상상해 보라.
③ Then it acquires some enzymes that enable it to survive whatever chemicals other microbes might throw at it. 그다음에 그것은 다른 미생물들이 그것에게 던지는그 어떤 화학 물질로부터도 그것이 살아남게 해 주는 어떤 효소들을 얻는다.
④ If it can overcome these chemicals, it may also overcome the same or similar chemicals used as antifungal drugs. 만약 그것이 이러한 화학 물질들을 이겨낼 수 있다면, 그것은 항진균제로써 사용되는 똑같거나 비슷한 화학 물질들 또한 이겨낼 수 있다.
⑤ Maybe it also evolves to tolerate warmer temperatures. 아마도 그것은 또한 더 따뜻한 온도를 견디도록 진화한다.
⑥ Now we've got a yeast that once made its home in an apple tree or in a wetland but that at this point can live quite happily in our body, hide from our immune system, and disarm our drugs. 이제 우리는 한때 사과나무나 습지에 서식지를 만들었지만 이 시점에서는 우리의 몸속에서 꽤 행복하게 살고, 우리의 면역 체계로부터 숨고, 우리의약을 무장 해제시킬 수 있는 효모를 갖게 되었다.
⑦ Then some of us carry it from one country to another and then another, and eventually it finds a host in a hospital patient who has recently received an organ transplant or is elderly with a weakened immune system. 그러고 나서 우리 중 일부가 한 나라에서 다른 나라그리고 또 다른 나라로 그것을 옮기고 결국 그것은장기 이식을 최근에 받았거나 약해진 면역 체계를가진 노인인 병원 환자에서 숙주를 찾는다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 30감정이 기억 형성에 미치는 영향
① Memory is shaped by emotions connected to an experience. 기억은 경험과 연결된 감정에 의해 형성된다.
② For this reason, inaccuracies often hide the full picture of what happened. 이러한 이유로 부정확성은 일어났던 일의 전체적인상황을 종종 숨긴다.
③ For example, a company might decide to hire a consultant to assist with a major project. 예를 들어 한 회사가 중대한 프로젝트를 조력할 한자문 위원을 고용하기로 결정했을 수 있다.
④ During this project, the consultant demonstrated some personality traits that clashed with a couple of the executives involved. 이 프로젝트 동안 그 자문 위원은 몇 명의 관여된경영진들과 부딪치는 몇몇 성격 특성들을 보여 주었다.
⑤ Through the course of the project, they were able to put aside the personality conflicts in order to see their vision become a reality. 프로젝트의 과정 동안 그들은 자신들의 비전이 실현되는 것을 보기 위해 그 성격 갈등을 한쪽으로 제쳐둘 수 있었다.
⑥ Ultimately, the project was a success, enabling the company to move forward and profit. 결국 프로젝트는 성공해서 회사가 진보하고 이익을얻는 것을 가능하게 했다.
⑦ At a later date, the company, remembering the previous success, expressed an interest in hiring the same consultant for another large project. 후일 그 회사는 이전의 성공을 기억하여 또 다른 큰프로젝트를 위해 같은 자문 위원을 고용하는 데 관심을 표했다.
⑧ The executives who struggled with his personality last time may most vividly remember their difficulty in overcoming his personality and related emotions. 지난번 그의 성격으로 고생했던 경영진들은 그의성격을 극복하는 것에 대한 그들의 어려움 및 연관된 감정들을 가장 생생히 기억할지 모른다.
⑨ In this case, the success of the project fades into the background as they focus on their previous experience, colored by their feelings of discomfort. 이런 경우에 그들이 불편이라는 감정에 의해 물든이전의 경험에 집중하기 때문에 프로젝트의 성공에대한 기억은 희미해진다.
⑩ As a result, they convince the company to exclude the consultant, making project completion more difficult. 결과적으로 그들은 회사가 그 자문 위원을 배제하도록 설득하여 프로젝트 완성을 더욱 어렵게 만든다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 31색상의 사회적 의미와 규제
① As colors came to take on meanings and cultural significance within societies, attempts were made to restrict their use. 색들이 사회 내에서 의미와 문화적인 의의를 갖게됨에 따라 그것들의 사용을 제한하는 시도들이 이루어졌다.
② The most extreme example of this phenomenon was the sumptuary laws. 이 현상의 가장 극단적인 예시는 사치 금지법이었다.
③ While these were passed in ancient Greece and Rome, and examples can be found in ancient China and Japan, they found their fullest expressions in Europe from the mid-twelfth century, before slowly disappearing in the early modern period. 이것은 고대 그리스와 로마에서 통과되었고 실례들이 고대 중국과 일본에서 발견될 수 있지만, 그것은초기 근대에 서서히 사라지기 전에 12세기 중반부터 유럽에서 가장 완전하게 표출되었다.
④ Such laws could touch on anything from diet to dress and furnishings, and sought to enforce social boundaries by encoding the social classes into a clear visual system: 그러한 법들은 식단에서 의복과 가구까지 어떤 것에도 관여할 수 있었고 사회적인 계층을 분명한 시각적 체계로 부호화함으로써 사회적인 경계선을 강요하는 것을 추구했다.
⑤ the peasants, in other words, should eat and dress like peasants; craftsmen should eat and dress like craftsmen. 즉, 다시 말해서 농부는 농부처럼 먹고 입어야 하고기술자는 기술자처럼 먹고 입어야 한다.
⑥ Color was a vital signifier in this social language ― dull, earthy colors like russet were explicitly confined to the poorest rural peasants, while bright ones like scarlet were the preserve of a select few. 색은 이 사회적 언어에서 중대한 기표였는데, 황갈색과 같은 칙칙한 흙색은 가장 가난한 시골 농부들에게 명시적으로 국한된 반면 진홍색과 같은 밝은색들은 선택된 소수의 전유물이었다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 32뇌가 외부 세계를 인식하는 방식
① John Douglas Pettigrew, a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland, found that the brain manages the external world by dividing it into separate regions, the peripersonal and the extrapersonal ― basically, near and far. Queensland 대학의 심리학 교수인 John Douglas Pettigrew는 뇌가 그것(외부 세계)을 '주변의'와 '외부의', 요컨대 '가깝다'와 '멀다'라는 별개의 부분들로 나눔으로써 외부 세계를 다룬다는 것을 알아냈다.
② Peripersonal space includes whatever is in arm's reach; things you can control right now by using your hands. 주변 공간은 팔이 닿는 범위 내에 있는 모든 것, 즉여러분의 손을 사용함으로써 당장 여러분이 통제할수 있는 것들을 포함한다.
③ This is the world of what's real, right now. 이것은 지금 당장 실제의 세계이다.
④ Extrapersonal space refers to everything else ― whatever you can't touch unless you move beyond your arm's reach, whether it's three feet or three million miles away. 외부 공간은 그 외 모든 것을 가리키는데, 즉 3피트든 3백만 마일 밖이든 여러분이 자신의 팔이 닿는범위를 넘어서서 움직이지 않으면 만질 수 없는 모든 것이다.
⑤ This is the realm of possibility. 이것은 가능성의 영역이다.
⑥ With those definitions in place, another fact follows, obvious but useful: any interaction in the extrapersonal space must occur in the future. 그러한 정의들이 자리 잡힌 상태에서 뻔하지만 유용한 또 하나의 사실이 따라온다. 즉, 외부 공간에서의모든 상호 작용은 미래에 일어나야만 한다는 것이다.
⑦ Or, to put it another way, distance is linked to time. 또는, 달리 말하면, 거리는 시간과 연관되어 있다.
⑧ For instance, if you're in the mood for a peach, but the closest one is sitting in a bin at the corner market, you can't enjoy it now. 예를 들어 만약 여러분이 복숭아를 원하지만 가장가까운 것이 모퉁이 가게의 상자에 있다면, 여러분은 지금 그것을 즐길 수 없다.
⑨ You can only enjoy it in the future, after you go get it. 여러분은 오직 미래에 즉 그것을 사러 간 후에 즐길수 있다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 33곤충을 잡는 식충식물의 독특한 메커니즘
① Insect-eating plants' unique strategies for catching live prey have long captured the public imagination. 식충 식물의 살아 있는 먹이를 잡기 위한 독특한 전략들은 오랫동안 대중의 상상력을 사로잡아 왔다.
② But even within this strange group, in which food-trapping mechanisms have evolved multiple times independently, some unusual ones stand out. 그러나 심지어 먹이를 가두는 기제가 여러 번 독립적으로 진화해 온 이 이상한 무리 안에서조차 몇몇특이한 것들이 두드러진다.
③ According to Ulrike Bauer, an evolutionary biologist, the visually striking pitcher plant Nepenthes gracilis, for example, can exploit external energy for a purpose. 진화 생물학자인 Ulrike Bauer에 따르면 예를 들어시각적으로 인상적인 낭상엽 식물인 'Nepenthes gracilis'는 어떤 목적을 위해 외부의 에너지를 이용할 수 있다.
④ This species' pitcher has a rigid, horizontal lid with an exposed underside that produces nectar, luring insects to land on it. 이 종의 주머니 모양의 잎은 꿀을 생산하는 노출된아랫면을 지닌 단단하고 수평으로 된 뚜껑을 갖고있는데, 그것은 곤충들이 그 면에 앉도록 유혹한다.
⑤ When a raindrop strikes the lid's top, the lid jolts downward and throws any unsuspecting visitor into digestive juices below. 빗방울이 뚜껑의 윗면을 칠 때, 뚜껑은 아래쪽으로흔들려서 의심하지 않고 있는 어떤 방문객도 아래의소화액으로 떨구어 버린다.
⑥ Researchers used x-ray scans to analyze cross sections of the pitchers when the lid is raised, lowered, and in a neutral position. 연구원들은 뚜껑이 올려질 때, 내려질 때 그리고 중립 위치에 있을 때의 주머니 모양의 잎의 단면을 분석하기 위해 엑스선 정밀 검사를 사용했다.
⑦ Their results revealed a structural weak point in the pitcher's neck: when a raindrop hits the lid, the weak spot folds in and forces the lid to quickly move downward, similar to a diving board. 그것의 결과는 주머니 모양의 잎의 목 부분에서 구조상의 약한 부분을 밝혀냈다. 즉 빗방울이 뚜껑을칠 때 그 약한 지점은 안으로 접히고, 뚜껑이 아래로빠르게 움직이도록 만드는데, 그것은 다이빙 보드와비슷하다.
⑧ The weak point makes the pitcher's body bend and bounce back in a specific, consistent way, so the lid rises back up without bouncing too far ― unlike a typical leaf's chaotic vibration when struck by rain. 그 약한 부분은 주머니 모양의 잎의 몸통을 휘었다가 특정하고 일관된 방식으로 튀어서 되돌아오도록해서, 비에 맞을 때 보통의 잎의 무질서한 흔들림과달리 그 뚜껑은 너무 멀리 튀지 않고 다시 올라온다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 34어류의 자체 발광 기능과 생존 전략
① Many fish generate their own light in a biological firework display called bioluminescence. 많은 물고기들은 생체 발광이라고 불리는 생물학적인 불꽃놀이로 자체의 빛을 생성한다.
② The lanternfish creates beams that sweep the sea like headlamps. 랜턴피시는 헤드라이트처럼 바다를 싹 비추는 빛줄기를 만들어 낸다.
③ The dragonfish produces wavelengths that only it can see, leaving its victims unaware of the approaching threat. 드래곤피시는 자신만이 볼 수 있는 파장을 생산해서 다가오는 위협을 먹잇감들이 인식하지 못하게한다.
④ In contrast, the anglerfish hopes its prey will notice and be lured toward its rod-like bioluminescent barbel; its fierce jaws stay hidden in the shadows. 대조적으로 앵글러피시는 먹이가 자신의 막대 모양의 생체 발광 수염을 알아채고 그것에 유인되기를바라는데, 그것(앵글러피시)의 사나운 턱이 그림자에 감춰져 있다.
⑤ Bioluminescence is also used to frustrate predators. 생체 발광은 또한 포식자들을 좌절시키는 데 사용된다.
⑥ A species from the spookfish family relies on a bellyful of symbiotic, glowing bacteria to save it from becoming a meal. 스푸크피시과(科)의 한 종은 식사거리가 되는 것으로부터 그것을 지켜주는 배에 가득 찬 공생하는 빛나는 박테리아에 의존한다.
⑦ It uses the same concept developed by the US Navy during World War II to make bomber aircraft difficult to see. 그것은 폭격기를 보기 어렵게 만들기 위해 제2차세계 대전 중에 미국 해군에 의해 개발된 동일한 발상을 사용한다.
⑧ Just as Project Yehudi designed planes with under-wing spotlights, the fish's glowing belly conceals its silhouette against sunlight to hide it from watching eyes below. Yehudi 프로젝트가 날개 아랫면에 환한 조명이 있는 비행기를 설계한 것처럼, 그 물고기의 빛나는 복부는 태양 빛에 대비되는 자신의 실루엣을 감춰서아래에서 주시하는 눈들로부터 그것을 숨긴다.
⑨ In this fish-eat-fish world, survival is a game of hide-and-seek that prioritizes the sense of sight. 물고기가 물고기를 잡아먹는 이 세상에서 생존은시각을 우선시하는 숨바꼭질 게임이다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 35인류의 공통 조상과 생존 경쟁
① The human race traces back to a surprisingly small number of common ancestors. 인류는 놀랄 만큼 적은 수의 공통 조상으로 거슬러올라간다.
② It has been documented that the entire human race can be traced back to only seven different mothers, and one of these women is a common ancestor to roughly 40% of the human species. 전체 인류가 단 7명의 다른 어머니들로 거슬러 올라갈 수 있고 이 여성들 중 한 명은 대략 인간 종의40%의 공통 조상이라고 밝혀졌다.
③ Why is this? The simple answer is that humans are extremely good at dying and at wiping each other out. 이것은 왜일까? 간단한 답은 인간이 죽는 것과 서로를 몰살하는 것에 몹시 능숙하다는 것이다.
④ History has had many successful rulers and conquerors who have got rid of entire populations, and even beyond that, our species has wiped out plenty of similar humanoid lines that existed on this earth. 역사적으로 전체 인구를 제거한 많은 성공적인 통치자들과 정복자들이 존재해 왔으며, 심지어 그것을 넘어 우리 종은 이 지구에 존재했던 수많은 비슷한 인간에 가까운 계통들을 몰살해 왔다.
⑤ Scientific finds have so far discovered a number of other humanoid species that once shared the earth with us, some of which include Neanderthals and Denisovans. 과학적 발견들은 지금까지 한때 우리와 지구를 공유했던 많은 인간에 가까운 종들을 발견해 왔는데, 그들 중 몇몇은 네안데르탈인과 데니소바인을 포함한다.
⑥ Yet of these lines, only homo sapiens have survived, only the modern humans. 그러나 이 계통들 중에서 오직 호모사피엔스, 즉 현대의 인간들만이 살아남았다.
⑦ That itself shows how difficult it is for a species to survive and thrive long-term on this planet. 그 자체가 한 종이 이 행성에서 살아남아 장기적으로 번영하는 것이 얼마나 어려운지를 보여 준다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 36시간 여행의 개념에 대한 철학적 탐구
① Philosophers who seek to understand the nature of time might consider the possibility of time travel. 시간의 본질을 이해하고자 하는 철학자들은 시간여행의 가능성을 고려할지도 모른다.
② But there are no real-life cases of time travel. 그러나 시간 여행의 실제 사례는 없다.
③ In situations such as this, philosophers often construct thought experiments ―imagined scenarios that bring out the thoughts and presuppositions underlying people's judgments. 이와 같은 상황들에서 철학자들은 사고 실험, 즉 사람들의 판단의 기초가 되는 생각과 전제를 끌어내는 상상의 시나리오를 종종 구성한다.
④ Sometimes these scenarios are drawn from books, movies, and television. 때때로 이러한 시나리오들은 책, 영화 그리고 텔레비전으로부터 얻어진다.
⑤ Other times, philosophers just make up their own scenarios. 다른 때에는 철학자들이 그냥 자신들만의 시나리오를 지어낸다.
⑥ Either way, the point is to put such concepts to the test. 어느 쪽이든, 요점은 그러한 개념들을 시험해 보는것이다.
⑦ In the case of time travel, for example, a common thought experiment is to imagine what would happen if you went back in time and found yourself in a position to interfere in such a way that you were never born. 예를 들어 시간 여행의 경우 일반적인 사고 실험은만약 여러분이 시간을 거슬러 가서 여러분이 결코태어나지 않았다는 식으로 개입할 위치에 있는 자신을 발견한다면 어떤 일이 일어났을지를 상상하는것이다.
⑧ It seems that something must happen to prevent you from doing this, because if you were to succeed, you would not exist and so you would not have been able to go back in time. 여러분이 그렇게 하는 것을 막기 위해 무슨 일이 일어나야 하는 것처럼 보이는데, 왜냐하면 만약 여러분이 성공한다면, 여러분은 존재하지 않을 것이고그래서 여러분은 시간을 거슬러 갈 수 없었을 것이기 때문이다.
⑨ As a result of thinking through these sorts of cases, some philosophers claim that the very notion of time travel makes no sense. 이러한 종류의 사례들을 통해 생각한 결과, 일부 철학자들은 시간 여행이라는 바로 그 개념이 말이 되지 않는다고 주장한다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 37수면  감각 정보의 차단 과정
① A universal indicator of sleep is the loss of external awareness. 수면의 한 보편적인 지표는 외부 인식의 상실이다.
② You are no longer conscious of all that surrounds you, at least not explicitly. 여러분은 자신을 둘러싸고 있는 모든 것을, 최소한겉으로 보기에는, 더 이상 의식하지 않는다.
③ In actual fact, your ears are still 'hearing'; your eyes, though closed, are still capable of 'seeing.' 실상은 여러분의 귀는 여전히 '듣고' 있고, 눈은, 감겨 있지만, 여전히 '보는 것'이 가능하다.
④ All these signals still flood into the center of your brain while you sleep, but they are blocked by a perceptual barricade set up in a structure called the thalamus. 이 모든 신호들은 여러분이 자는 동안 여전히 뇌의중심부로 흘러들어 가지만, 그것들은 시상이라고불리는 조직에 설치된 지각의 바리케이드에 의해차단된다.
⑤ The thalamus decides which sensory signals are allowed through its gate, and which are not. 시상은 그것의 문을 통해 어떤 감각 신호들이 들여보내질지, 어떤 것들이 그렇지 않을지를 결정한다.
⑥ Should they be granted its permission to pass, they are sent to the cortex at the top of your brain, where they are consciously perceived. 그것들이 그것(시상)의 통행 허가를 받게 된다면, 그것들은 여러분의 뇌 상부에 있는 대뇌피질로 보내지는데, 거기서 그것들은 의식적으로 지각된다.
⑦ By locking its gates shut, the thalamus imposes a sensory blackout in the brain, preventing onward travel of those signals to the cortex. 그것의 문을 닫아 잠금으로써 시상은 뇌에 감각 정전을 가하고, 그 신호들의 대뇌피질을 향한 전진 이동을 막는다.
⑧ As a result, you are no longer consciously aware of the information broadcasts being transmitted from your outer sense organs. 그 결과 여러분은 외부 감각 기관으로부터 전송되고 있는 정보 방송을 더 이상 의식적으로 인식하지못한다.
⑨ At this moment, your brain has lost waking contact with the outside world. 이 순간 여러분의 뇌는 외부 세계와의 깨어 있는 접촉을 잃었다.
⑩ Said another way, you are now asleep. 다른 말로 하면, 여러분은 지금 잠이 든 것이다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 38윤리적 의사결정에서의 감정적 요소
① Emotional response to the world is an inherent part of ethics. 세상에 대한 감정적 반응은 윤리학의 내재적인 부분이다.
② In ethics, appeals to compassion and empathy can and should be part of rational arguments about ethical decisions. 윤리학에서 연민과 공감에 대한 호소는 윤리적 결정에 대한 합리적인 주장의 일부가 될 수 있고 또그래야 한다.
③ Moreover, the best practices of objectivity often combine partiality and impartiality. 더욱이 객관성의 가장 좋은 실천들은 종종 편파성과 공정성을 결합한다.
④ In a trial, the partiality of the prosecutor and the defense attorney (and the parties they represent) occurs within a larger impartial context. 재판에서 검사와 변호인(및 그들이 대리하는 당사자들)의 편파성은 더 큰 공정한 맥락 안에서 발생한다.
⑤ A judge or jury puts partial arguments to the test of objective evidence and to the impartial rules of law. 판사나 배심원은 편파적인 주장들을 객관적인 증거의 시험대와 공정한 법 원칙에 맡긴다.
⑥ Ideally, what is fair and objective emerges during a trial where partialities make their case and are judged by objective norms. 이상적으로, 공정하고 객관적인 것은 편파성이 자신의 주장을 하고 객관적인 규범에 의해 판단되는재판 동안 드러난다.
⑦ The norms of objectivity were constructed not because their creators thought most humans could be 'empty' of bias. 객관성의 규범은 그것을 만든 사람들이 대부분의인간은 편견이 '없을' 수 있다고 생각했기 때문에 만들어진 것이 아니다.
⑧ The reverse is true: the norms were constructed because of an acute awareness of human bias, because it is evident. 그 반대가 사실인데, 그 규범은 인간의 편견에 대한예리한 인식 때문에, 즉 그것이 명백하게 나타나기때문에 만들어졌다.
⑨ Rather than conclude that objectivity is impossible because bias is universal, scientists, journalists, and others concluded the opposite: 편견이 보편적이기 때문에 객관성이 불가능하다고결론을 내리기보다는 과학자, 언론인 그리고 다른이들은 반대의 결론을 내렸다.
⑩ we biased humans need the discipline of objectivity to reduce the ineliminable presence of bias. 즉 우리 편향된 인간은 제거할 수 없는 편견의 존재를 줄이기 위해 객관성의 규율을 필요로 한다는 것이다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 39고양이의 야간 시력과 생물학적 적응
① The fact that cats' eyes glow in the dark is part of their enhanced light-gathering efficiency; there is a reflective layer behind the retina, so light can hit the retina when it enters the eye, or when it is reflected from behind the retina. 고양이의 눈이 어둠 속에서 빛난다는 사실은 그것의 강화된 집광 효율성의 일부인데, 망막 뒤에는 반사 층이 있어서 빛이 눈에 들어올 때나 망막 뒤에서반사될 때 그것이 망막에 닿을 수 있다.
② Light that manages to miss the retina exits the eye and creates that ghostly glow. 망막을 어떤 식으로든 벗어난 빛은 눈을 빠져나와그 유령 같은 빛을 만들어 낸다.
③ When cats' light-gathering ability is combined with the very large population of rods in their eyes, the result is a predator that can see exceptionally well in the dark. 고양이의 집광 능력이 고양이의 눈 속 매우 많은 간상체의 개체 수와 결합될 때, 그 결과는 어둠 속에서 유난히 잘 볼 수 있는 포식자이다.
④ Cats 'pay' for this nighttime accuracy with less accurate daytime vision and an inability to focus on close objects. 고양이는 덜 정확한 주간 시력과 가까운 물체에 초점을 못 맞추는 것으로 이러한 야간의 정확성에 대한 '대가를 지불한다.'
⑤ This may seem counterproductive; what is the point of seeing a mouse in the dark if, in that final, close moment, the cat can't focus on it? 이것은 비생산적으로 보일 수 있는데, 만약 고양이가 그 마지막, 아슬아슬한 순 간에 그것(쥐)에 초점을 맞출 수 없다면 어둠 속에서 쥐를 보는 것이 무슨 의미가 있을까?
⑥ Tactile information comes into play at this time; cats can move their whiskers forward and use them to get information about objects within the grasp of their jaws. 이때 촉각 정보가 작용하기 시작하는데, 고양이들은 콧수염을 앞으로 움직여서 그들의 턱으로 물 수있는 범위 내의 물체들에 대한 정보를 얻는 데 사용할 수 있다.
⑦ So the next time you see a cat seeming to nap in the bright sunlight, eyes half-closed, remember that it may simply be shielding its retina from a surplus of light. 그러므로 다음번에 여러분이 밝은 햇빛 속에서, 눈이 반쯤 감긴 채로, 낮잠을 자고 있는 것처럼 보이는 고양이를 보면, 그것이 단순히 과도한 빛으로부터 망막을 보호하고 있을 뿐일 수도 있다는 것을 기억하라.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 40미술관 방문  대화 감소가 감정 반응 증가
① In one study, researchers gave more than five hundred visitors to an art museum a special glove that reported their movement patterns along with physiological data such as their heart rates. 한 연구에서 연구자들은 500명 이상의 한 미술관방문객들에게 심박수와 같은 생리학적인 데이터와함께 그들의 움직임 패턴을 보고하는 특별한 장갑을 주었다.
② The data showed that when people were not distracted by chatting with companions, they actually had a stronger emotional response to the art. 그 데이터는 사람들이 동행자들과 수다를 떠는 것에 의해 주의를 빼앗기지 않을 때 그들이 실제로 예술품에 더 강한 감정적인 반응을 가진다는 것을 보여 주었다.
③ Of course, there's nothing wrong with chatting and letting the art slide past, but think of the inspiration those museum visitors missed out on. 물론 수다를 떨고 예술품을 지나치는 것은 잘못된것이 아니지만 그 미술관 방문객들이 놓친 영감을생각해 보라.
④ Then apply that to life in general. 그다음에 그것을 일반적인 삶에 적용하라.
⑤ When we surround ourselves with other people, we're not just missing out on the finer details of an art exhibition. 우리가 다른 사람들과 함께 있을 때 우리는 단지 미술 전시회의 더 세부적인 사항을 놓치고 있는 것만이 아니다.
⑥ We're missing out on the chance to reflect and understand ourselves better. 우리는 자신을 더 잘 성찰하고 이해할 수 있는 기회를 놓치고 있는 것이다.
⑦ In fact, studies show that if we never allow ourselves to be alone, it's just plain harder for us to learn. 실제로 연구들은 만약 우리가 혼자 있는 것을 결코허용하지 않는다면, 우리가 배우는 것이 분명히 더어렵다는 것을 보여 준다.
⑧ Other research found that young people who cannot stand being alone were less likely to develop creative skills like playing an instrument or writing because the most effective practice of these abilities is often done while alone. 다른 연구는 혼자 있는 것을 견디지 못하는 젊은이들이 악기 연주나 글쓰기와 같은 창의적인 기술을개발할 가능성이 적었는데 왜냐하면 이러한 능력들의 가장 효과적인 연습이 대체로 혼자 있을 때 행해지기 때문이라는 것을 발견했다.
⑨ [요약문] The study above shows avoiding conversation with companions while exploring an art museum intensifies emotional response to art, suggesting that absence of alone time may inhibit personal growth and learning. [요약문] 위의 연구는 미술관을 관람하면서 동행자와의 대화를 피하는 것이 예술품에 대한 정서적 반응을 강화한다는 것을 보여 주며, 혼자만의 시간의부재가 개인의 성장과 배움을 저해할 수 있음을 시사한다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 41~42색맹의 생물학적  진화적 측면
① There are a number of human characteristics that would seem to be disadvantageous yet continue to survive, generation after generation. 불리해 보일지 모르지만 대대로 계속해서 살아남는많은 인간의 특징들이 있다.
② One example is color blindness. 한 가지 예가 색맹이다.
③ Most color blindness is associated with genes on the X chromosome. 대부분의 색맹은 X염색체의 유전자와 관련이 있다.
④ Women have two X chromosomes, so if this problem occurs on one of them, the other can compensate. 여성은 2개의 X염색체를 가지고 있어서 만약 이 문제가 그중 한 개에서 발생하면 다른 하나가 상쇄할수 있다.
⑤ But men have only one X chromosome. 하지만 남성은 단 하나의 X염색체를 가지고 있다.
⑥ If the mutation occurs there, that male is color blind. 만약 돌연변이가 거기서 일어난다면, 그 남자는 색맹이다.
⑦ We might ask why such a deficiency would survive and not die out. 우리는 왜 그런 결점이 살아남아서 사라지지 않는지 질문할지 모른다.
⑧ To understand this, we can consider ancient hunter-gatherers, with the men doing most of the hunting for meat and the women doing most of the gathering of fruits and nuts. 이것을 이해하기 위해 고대의 수렵 채집인들을 살펴볼 수 있는데, 남성은 고기를 위한 사냥의 대부분을, 여성은 과일과 견과류 채집의 대부분을 한다.
⑨ Gathering fruits, especially berries, and nuts is much more productive if it is easy to distinguish the red or purple fruit from the green leaves of the plant. 만약 식물의 녹색 잎으로부터 빨간색이나 보라색과일을 구별하는 것이 쉽다면 과일, 특히 베리류와견과류를 채집하는 것은 훨씬 더 생산적이다.
⑩ If red-green color blindness were common among women, the resulting lack of productivity would likely cause this trait to die out relatively quickly. 만약 여성들 사이에 적록 색맹이 흔하다면, 그로 인한 생산성의 부족은 이 특성이 비교적 빨리 소멸하도록 만들 가능성이 있다.
⑪ On the other hand, the men out hunting don't much rely on being able to contrast red from green. 반면 사냥에 나간 남성들은 초록색으로부터 빨간색을 대조시킬 수 있는 것에 크게 의존하지 않는다.
⑫ Most of the animals they are hunting have fur or feathers that help them hide. 그들이 사냥하는 대부분의 동물들은 그것들이 숨는것을 도와주는 털이나 깃털을 가지고 있다.
⑬ Rather than relying on color, the hunter relies on an acute ability to detect motion. 색에 의존하기보다는 사냥꾼은 움직임을 감지하는예리한 능력에 의존한다.
⑭ It is conceivable that a reduction in color contrast in these circumstances might actually enhance one's ability to detect subtle motions. 이러한 상황에서 색 대비의 감소는 미묘한 움직임을 감지하는 사람의 능력을 실제로 향상시킬지 모른다고 생각할 만하다.
⑮ Given that a hunted animal blends into its surroundings, less background color variation would be less of a visual distraction. 사냥당하는 동물이 주변 환경에 섞여 들어가 있다는 것을 고려할 때, 배경색의 더 적은 변동은 더 적은 시각적인 방해가 될 것이다.

 

 

 

[3] 2024 05 – 43~45서로 다른 관점이 모두 옳을  있음을 깨달은 쌍둥이 자매
① Pamela and Maggie were identical twins. Pamela와 Maggie는 일란성 쌍둥이였다.
② Even their parents found it hard to tell them apart. 심지어 그들의 부모도 그들을 구별하는 것을 어려워했다.
③ But although they looked identical, they were different in every other way. 비록 그들이 똑같아 보였지만 그들은 다른 모든 부분에서 달랐다.
④ They didn't have anything in common, so they fought all the time. 그들은 공통점이 없었고, 그래서 그들은 항상 싸웠다.
⑤ Pamela thought that her sister was weird and incomprehensible, and of course Maggie felt the same way. Pamela는 그녀의 자매(Maggie)가 이상하며 이해할 수 없다고 생각했고 물론 Maggie도 똑같이 느꼈다.
⑥ For example, Pamela was always upset at her sister waking up early in the morning. 예를 들어 Pamela는 그녀의 자매가 이른 아침에일어나는 것에 대해 항상 기분이 언짢았다.
⑦ She didn't understand why her sister couldn't finish what she needed to do at night and sleep peacefully the next morning. 그녀(Pamela)는 그녀의 자매가 왜 해야 할 일을 밤에 끝내고 다음 날 아침에 편히 잘 수 없는지 이해하지 못했다.
⑧ To Maggie, staying up past the time she began to feel sleepy was exhausting. Maggie에게는 그녀(Maggie)가 졸린 것을 느끼기시작한 시간이 지나고도 깨어 있는 것은 매우 피곤한 일이었다.
⑨ Besides, she loved the fresh morning air. 게다가 그녀는 상쾌한 아침 공기를 좋아했다.
⑩ They had fights about simple things like this every day. 그들은 이와 같은 단순한 일들로 매일 싸웠다.
⑪ Tired of the endless arguments, their mother Rachel decided to put an end to them. 끝없는 언쟁에 지친 그들의 어머니 Rachel은 그것을 끝내기로 결심했다.
⑫ She would make them understand that each of their points of view could be correct. 그녀는 그들의 관점 각각이 옳을 수 있다는 것을 그들이 이해하게 만들려 했다.
⑬ One day, the twins were brought to the dining table where a big board stood in the middle. 하루는 쌍둥이들이 큰 판자가 가운데 세워져 있는식탁으로 불려 왔다.
⑭ Pamela sat on one side of the board and her twin on the other. Pamela는 판자의 한쪽에, 그녀의 쌍둥이(Maggie)는 다른 한쪽에 앉았다.
⑮ Rachel asked Pamela what the color of the board was. Rachel은 Pamela에게 판자의 색깔이 무엇이냐고물었다.
⑯ "Black," she said. "검은색이요."라고 그녀가 대답했다.
⑰ After hearing Pamela's answer, Rachel asked the same question to the other daughter. Pamela의 대답을 들은 후에 Rachel은 다른 딸(Maggie)에게 똑같은 질문을 했다.
⑱ She replied it was white. 그녀는 그것이 하얀색이라고 대답했다.
⑲ Predictably, they began arguing. 예상대로 그들은 언쟁을 시작했다.
⑳ Rachel then asked them to switch seats. 그러자 Rachel은 그들에게 자리를 바꾸도록 요청했다.
㉑ Each sitting on a new chair, they were surprised to realize the board was black on one side and white on the other. 각자 새로운 의자에 앉자 그들은 그 판자의 한쪽이검은색이고 다른 한쪽이 하얀색이라는 것을 깨닫고놀랐다.
㉒ Understanding what their mother wanted to say, they promised they would never insist the other was wrong again. 그들의 어머니가 하고자 했던 말을 이해하고, 그들은 다시는 서로가 틀렸다고 주장하지 않겠다고 약속했다.

[3] 2024 05 – 18: 영화 촬영 허가 요청서

 My name is Rohan Kaul, the producer of the upcoming film 'Upagrah.'

  이름은 Rohan Kaul이고  개봉할 영화 'Upagrah' 제작자입니다.

 I am reaching out to you regarding a matter of importance concerning the shooting of some scenes for our film.

 저희 영화를 위한 일부 장면의 촬영과 관련하여 중요한 사항에 관해 당신에게 연락을 드립니다.

 We have identified Gulab Park, Mumbai, as an ideal location for these scenes.

 저희는  장면들을 위한 이상적인 장소로 Mumbai Gulab 공원을 찾았습니다.

 We are hoping to conduct this shoot on 3rd June 2024, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.

 저희는 2024 6 3 오후 1시부터 오후 6시까지  촬영을 수행하기를 희망하고 있습니다.

 We have chosen Monday for the shooting day to minimize traffic issues and disruption to the public.

 저희는 교통 문제와 대중에게 끼칠 혼란을 최소화하기 위해 월요일을 촬영일로 선택했습니다.

 During the shoot, our team promises to follow all rules and regulations, ensuring no inconvenience is caused to the public.

 촬영 동안에, 저희 팀은 대중에게 어떠한 불편도 야기되지 않을 것을 확실히 하면서 모든 규칙과 규정을 준수할 것을 약속드립니다.

 We would be so grateful if you granted permission for the shoot so that we can put the beautiful scenery of the park in our film.

 저희 영화에 공원의 아름다운 배경을 담을  있도록 촬영을 위한 허가를  주신다면 우리는 매우 감사할 것입니다.

 We look forward to your response.

 당신의 답변을 고대합니다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 19: 잘못된 퀴즈로 인한 학생의 긴장 해소

 Charles was taking a quiz in his math class.

 Charles 수학 시간에 퀴즈를 보고 있었다.

 He stared at the questions, but they looked completely unfamiliar.

 그는  문제들을 유심히 살펴보았지만 그것들은 완전히 낯설게 보였다.

 Charles flipped through the pages of the quiz for a while.

 Charles 한동안 퀴즈 문제지를 넘겨 보았다.

 His palms grew sweaty as he realized that he didn't know a single answer.

 그가 하나의 정답도 알지 못한다는 것을 깨닫고 그의 손바닥에서 땀이 났다.

 A moment later, a few other students began raising their hands.

 잠시  몇몇 다른 학생들이 손을 들기 시작했다.

 One said, "I don't think we ever learned about the stuff on this quiz, Mrs. Smith."

  학생이 "Smith 선생님,  생각에 저희는  퀴즈에 나오는 것들을  번도 배운 적이 없는  같아요."라고 말했다.

 The teacher quickly looked over a copy of the quiz and announced, "I'm sorry, class.

 선생님은 퀴즈 문제지를 빠르게 살펴보고 "미안해요, 여러분.

 It appears that I have given you the wrong quiz by mistake.

 실수로 여러분에게 잘못된 문제지를   같아요.

 We'll take the right quiz next class."

 우리는 다음 시간에 올바른 퀴즈를 보겠습니다."라고 알렸다.

 As Charles heard what the teacher said, the tension in his shoulders began to melt away.

 Charles 선생님이 말씀하신 것을 듣자 어깨의 긴장이 차츰 사라지기 시작했다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 20: 중년의 연결 조직 부상에 대한 근육 훈련 권장

 When you are middle-aged, the risk of connective tissue injuries peaks as decreased load tolerance combines with continued high activity levels.

 여러분이 중년이 되면 하중을 견디는 힘이 감소되고 그것이 계속된 높은 활동 수준과 결합하면서 결합 조직 부상의 위험이 최고조에 달한다.

 The path of least resistance is to stop doing the things that hurt ― avoid uncomfortable movements and find easier forms of exercise.

 가장 무난한 방법은 아프게 하는 일들을 그만두는 것인데 이를테면 불편한 움직임들을 피하며  쉬운 형태의 운동을 찾는 것이다.

 However, that's the exact opposite of what you should do.

 그러나 그것은 여러분이 해야 하는 것의 정확한 반대다.

 There is a path forward.

 앞으로 나아가는 길이 있다.

 But it doesn't involve following the typical pain management advice of rest, ice, and medicine, which multiple reviews have shown is not effective for treating age-related joint pain and dysfunction.

 하지만 그것은 휴식, 얼음찜질  의약품의 전형적인 통증 관리 조언을 따르는 것을 포함하지 않는데, 다수의 비평은 이것이 나이와 관련된 관절 통증과 기능 장애를 치료하는  효과적이지 않다는것을 보여 주었다.

 These methods do nothing more than treat superficial symptoms.

  방법들은 표면적인 증상을 치료하는 것에 지나지 않는다.

 The only practical solution is to strengthen your body with muscle training.

 유일한 실질적인 해결책은 근육 훈련으로 여러분의 신체를 강화하는 것이다.

 Whether you've been training for a few years or a few decades, or haven't ever stepped foot in the weight room, it's not too late to restore your body, build real strength, and achieve your physical potential.

 여러분이  년이나 몇십  동안 운동을  왔든지 혹은 체력 단련실에 발을 디딘 적이 전혀 없든지 간에 여러분의 몸을 회복하고, 실질적인 힘을 기르고, 신체적인 잠재력을 실현하는 것은 너무 늦지않다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 21: 눈을 통한 시각적 인식의 메커니즘 설명

 Turn the lights out and point the beam of a small flashlight up into one of your eyes.

 조명을 끄고 작은 손전등의 빛줄기가 여러분의 한쪽  안을 향하게 하라.

 Shake the beam around while moving your gaze up and down.

 여러분의 시선을 위아래로 움직이면서 빛줄기를 이리저리 흔들어라.

 You should catch glimpses of what look like delicate branches.

 여러분은 미세한 가지들처럼 보이는 것을 얼핏 보게  것이다.

 These branches are shadows of the blood vessels that lie on top of your retina.

  가지들은 여러분의 망막 위에 있는 혈관의 그림자들이다.

 The vessels constantly cast shadows as light streams into the eye, but because these shadows never move, the brain ceases responding to them.

  혈관들은 빛이 눈으로 흘러 들어오는 동안 끊임없이 그림자를 드리우지만,  그림자들은 절대 움직이지 않기 때문에 뇌가 이것들에 반응하는 것을 멈춘다.

 Moving the flashlight beam around shifts the shadows just enough to make them momentarily visible.

 손전등 빛줄기를 이리저리 움직이는 것은 그림자가 잠깐 눈에 보이게  만큼만 그림자를 이동시킨다.

 Now you might wonder if you could cause an image to fade just by staring at something unmoving.

 이제 여러분은 움직이지 않는 무언가를 단지 응시하는 것만으로도 이미지가 사라지도록   있는지 궁금해할지도 모른다.

 But that is not possible because the visual system constantly jiggles the eye muscles, which prevents the perfect stabilization of images of the world.

 그러나 시각 체계가 끊임없이 눈의 근육을 가볍게 흔들고 있고 이것이 세상의 이미지들의 완벽한 안정화를 막기 때문에 그것은 불가능하다.

 These muscle movements are unbelievably small, but their effect is huge.

  근육의 움직임들은 믿을  없을 정도로 작지만  효과는 엄청나다.

 Without them, we would go blind by tuning out what we see shortly after fixating our gaze!

 그것들이 없으면 우리는 시선을 고정한 직후에 보고 있는 것을 무시함으로써 보지 못하게  것이다!

 It's an interesting notion:

 이것은 흥미로운 개념이다.

 Approximate perfection is better than perfect perfection.

 근사치의 완벽함이 완벽한 완벽함보다  낫다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 22: 경제적 이익과 야생 보호 간의 대립

 Most opposition to wilderness preservation doesn't come from environmentalists but from corporate interests and developers.

 야생 보호 구역 보존에 대한 대부분의 반대는 환경론자들로부터가 아니라 기업 관계자와 개발자들로부터 나온다.

 When wild places are designated as wilderness, they are closed to most commercial activities and residential or infrastructure development.

 야생의 지역이 야생 보호 구역으로 지정되면  지역은 대부분의 상업 활동  주거 또는 기반 시설 개발이 금지된다.

 There is thus frequently an economic cost to wilderness preservation.

 따라서 야생 보호 구역 보존에는 흔히 경제적인 비용이 존재한다.

 Some critics claim that when wilderness and economic interests clash, economic interests should normally prevail.

 일부 비평가들은 야생 보호 구역과 경제적 이익이 충돌할  경제적 이익이 일반적으로 우세해야 한다고 주장한다.

 This argument, even if it is sound, won't exclude all wilderness preservation efforts, because some wilderness areas have little economic value.

 이러한 주장은, 비록 타당할지라도, 일부 야생 보호 구역은 경제적인 가치가 거의 없기 때문에 모든 야생 보호 구역 보존 노력을 배제하지는 않을 것이다.

 But a deeper problem with the argument is that it views nature from a human-focused and excessively economic point of view.

 그러나  주장의  심층적인 문제점은 그것이 자연을 인간 중심적이고 지나치게 경제적인 관점에서 본다는 것이다.

 Allowing economic considerations to outweigh all other forms of value is inconsistent with the biocentric reasons that support wilderness preservation.

 경제적인 고려 사항이 모든 다른 형태의 가치를 능가하도록 두는 것은 야생 보호 구역 보존을 지지하는 생명 중심적인 이유들에 부합하지 않는다.

 Thus, while it certainly makes sense to weigh the economic costs of wilderness protection, especially when such costs are high, the biocentric values underlying wilderness preservation exclude viewing economic considerations as the most important.

 따라서 특히 그러한 비용이 높을  야생 보호 구역 보호의 경제적 비용을 따져 보는 것이 분명히 타당하지만, 야생 보호 구역 보존의 근본이 되는 생명 중심적인 가치는 경제적인 고려를 가장 중요한것으로 여기는 것을 배제한다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 23: 카페인 섭취가  화학에 미치는 영향

 During the day, a molecule called adenosine builds up in your brain.

  동안에 아데노신이라고 불리는 분자가 여러분의 뇌에 쌓인다.

 Adenosine binds with receptors on nerve cells, or neurons, slowing down their activity and making you feel drowsy.

 아데노신은 신경 세포들, 다시 말해 뉴런들의 수용체들과 결합해 그것들의 활동을 늦추고 여러분이 나른함을 느끼게 한다.

 But caffeine is also able to bind with these receptors, and by doing so it blocks adenosine's effect, making your neurons fire more and keeping you alert.

 그러나 카페인 역시  수용체들과 결합할  있고, 그렇게 함으로써 그것이 아데노신의 효과를 차단하여 뉴런을  활성화시키고 여러분이 깨어 있도록 유지시킨다.

 Caffeine also activates a gland at the base of your brain.

 카페인은 또한  기저부의 분비선을 활성화시킨다.

 This releases hormones that tell the adrenal glands on your kidneys to produce adrenaline, causing your heart to beat faster and your blood pressure to rise.

 이것은 신장에 있는 부신이 아드레날린을 생산하도록 하는 호르몬을 분비시켜 여러분의 심장을 더욱 빨리 뛰게 하고 혈압이 올라가게 한다.

 If, however, your daily caffeine intake is consistent, your brain will adapt to it.

 하지만 여러분의 하루 카페인 섭취량이 일정하다면 뇌가 이에 적응할 것이다.

 Your brain is like, 'Okay, every morning I'm getting this caffeine that's binding to these receptors and blocking adenosine from binding to them.'

 여러분의 뇌는 이와 같다. '그래, 매일 아침 나는  수용체들과 결합해서 아데노신이 그것들과 결합하는 것을 막는  카페인을 섭취하고 있군.'

 So your brain creates extra receptors to give adenosine more of an opportunity to bind with them and have its usual effect.

 그래서 여러분의 뇌는 아데노신에게 그것들(수용체) 결합하여 평소의 효과를   많은 기회를 주기 위해 추가의 수용체들을 만들어 낸다.

 And more adenosine is also produced to counteract the caffeine.

 그리고 카페인에 대응하기 위해  많은 아데노신이 또한 생성된다.

 That's why it takes more and more caffeine to have the same effect.

 그것이 같은 효과를 내기 위해서 점점  많은 카페인이 필요한 이유다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 24: 대양의 푸른색 발생 원인 설명

 When viewed from space, one of the Earth's most commanding features is the blueness of its vast oceans.

 우주에서 보았을  지구의 가장 인상적인 특징들  하나는 드넓은 바다의 푸르름이다.

 Small amounts of water do not indicate the color of these large bodies of water; when pure drinking water is examined in a glass, it appears clear and colorless.

 적은 양의 물은 이러한 많은 양의 물의 색을 나타내지 않고, 깨끗한 식수가 유리잔 속에서 검사될  그것은 맑고 무색인 것처럼 보인다.

 Apparently a relatively large volume of water is required to reveal the blue color.

 파란색을 드러내기 위해서는 분명 비교적 많은 양의 물이 필요하다.

 Why is this so?

 이것은  그런 것일까?

 When light penetrates water, it experiences both absorption and scattering.

 빛이 물을 관통할  그것은 흡수와 산란  다를 겪는다.

 Water molecules strongly absorb infrared and, to a lesser degree, red light.

  분자는 적외선을 강하게 흡수하고  적은 정도로 붉은빛을 흡수한다.

 At the same time, water molecules are small enough to scatter shorter wavelengths, giving water its blue-green color.

 동시에  분자는  짧은 파장을 산란시키기에 충분히 작아서 물에 청록색을 부여한다.

 The amount of long-wavelength absorption is a function of depth; the deeper the water, the more red light is absorbed.

 장파장 흡수의 양은 수심의 작용이다. , 물이  깊을수록  많은 붉은빛이 흡수된다.

 At a depth of 15m, the intensity of red light drops to 25% of its original value and falls to zero beyond a depth of 30m.

 15미터 수심에서는 붉은빛의 강도가 기존 값의 25% 떨어지고 30미터 이상의 수심에서는 0으로 떨어진다.

 Any object viewed at this depth is seen in a blue-green light.

  수심에서 보이는 모든 물체는 청록빛 내에서 보인다.

 For this reason, red inhabitants of the sea, such as lobsters and crabs, appear black to divers not carrying a lamp.

 이러한 이유로 바닷가재와 게와 같은 바다의 붉은색 서식 동물들은 램프를 들고 있지 않은 잠수부들에게는 검게 보인다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 25: 세대별 챗봇 플랫폼 선호도 차이

 The above graph shows the percentage of preferable chatbot platforms by age categorized by Generation Z, Millennials, and Generation X.

  그래프는 Z세대, 밀레니얼 세대 그리고 X세대로 분류된 연령대별로 선호하는 챗봇 플랫폼의 비율을 보여 준다.

 Millennials and Generation X had the highest percentage of respondents who preferred Desktop Websites while Generation Z had the highest percentage for Messenger Apps.

 밀레니얼 세대와 X세대는 데스크톱 웹사이트를 선호하는 응답자의 가장 높은 비율을 가진 반면 Z세대는 메신저 앱에 대해 가장 높은 비율을 가졌다.

 In Generation Z, the percentage of respondents who preferred Mobile Apps was more than twice that of those who preferred Voice Assistant Devices.

 Z세대 내에서, 모바일 앱을 선호하는 응답자의 비율은 음성 지원 장치를 선호하는 응답자 비율의  배보다  높았다.

 Messenger Apps was the only platform where the percentage of respondents' preference for it sank lower and lower from Generation Z, to Millennials, to Generation X.

 메신저 앱은 Z세대, 밀레니얼 세대, X세대로 갈수록 그것에 대한 응답자의 선호 비율이 점점  낮아진 유일한 플랫폼이었다.

 The percentage point gap between Millennial and Generation X respondents who preferred Mobile Apps was larger than the percentage point gap between the same two groups for Voice Assistant Devices.

 모바일 앱을 선호하는 밀레니얼 세대와 X세대의 응답자의 비율 수치 격차는 음성 지원 장치에 대한 동일한  집단 사이의 비율 수치 격차보다  컸다.

 The percentage of respondents who preferred Mobile Websites was the lowest in all the age groups.

 모바일 웹사이트를 선호하는 응답자들의 비율은 모든 연령 집단에서 가장 낮았다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 26: José Saramago 문학적 경력과 영향

 José Saramago was born in 1922 to a family of farmers in a little village north of Lisbon.

 José Saramago 1922년에 Lisbon 북쪽의 작은 마을에 있는 농부의 가정에서 태어났다.

 For financial reasons he abandoned his high-school studies and worked as a mechanic.

 그는 재정적인 이유로 고등학교 공부를 그만두었고 정비공으로 일을 했다.

 At this time, he acquired a taste for reading and started to frequent a public library in Lisbon in his free time.

 이때, 그는 독서에 흥미가 생겨 여가 시간에 Lisbon 있는 공립 도서관을 자주 방문하기 시작했다.

 After trying different jobs in the civil service, he worked for a publishing company for twelve years and then as an editor of the newspaper 'Diario de Noticias.'

 공직에서 여러 가지 일을   뒤에 그는 출판사에서 12년간 일한 , 신문사 'Diario de Noticias' 편집자로 일했다.

 Between 1975 and 1980 Saramago supported himself as a translator, but after his literary successes in the 1980s he devoted himself to his own writing.

 1975년부터 1980년까지 Saramago 번역가로 생계를 유지했지만 1980년대의 문학적인 성공 이후로는 자신의 글쓰기에 몰두했다.

 He achieved worldwide recognition in 1982 with the humorous love story Baltasar and Blimunda, a novel set in 18th-century Portugal.

 그는 18세기 포르투갈을 배경으로  소설인 해학적인 사랑 이야기 'Baltasar and Blimunda' 1982년에 세계적인 인정을 받았다.

 Saramago's oeuvre totals 30 works, and comprises not only novels but also poetry, essays and drama.

 Saramago 전체 작품은  30편에 이르고 소설뿐만 아니라 , 수필, 희곡 등도 포함한다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 29: 새로운 병원균의 적응과 전파 과정

 When a new pathogen emerges, one way it transitions from wherever it has been living into a new host may be the acquisition of new traits.

 새로운 병원균이 출현할 , 어디였든지 간에 그것이 살고 있던 곳으로부터 새로운 숙주로 전이하는  가지 방법은 새로운 특성의 습득일  있다.

 Imagine that in its hourly struggle to survive over long periods of time and many generations, a fungus species might acquire a protective capsule ― a bit of coating ― that shields it or even masks it from other microbes or cells.

 오랜 기간과 많은 세대를 거쳐 살아남기 위한 그것(균류종) 매시간의 분투에서 균류종이 자신을 보호하거나 심지어 다른 미생물이나 세포로부터 자신을 숨기는 약간의 코팅인 보호용 피막을 얻을지도 모른다는 것을 상상해 보라.

 Then it acquires some enzymes that enable it to survive whatever chemicals other microbes might throw at it.

 그다음에 그것은 다른 미생물들이 그것에게 던지는  어떤 화학 물질로부터도 그것이 살아남게  주는 어떤 효소들을 얻는다.

 If it can overcome these chemicals, it may also overcome the same or similar chemicals used as antifungal drugs.

 만약 그것이 이러한 화학 물질들을 이겨낼  있다면, 그것은 항진균제로써 사용되는 똑같거나 비슷한 화학 물질들 또한 이겨낼  있다.

 Maybe it also evolves to tolerate warmer temperatures.

 아마도 그것은 또한  따뜻한 온도를 견디도록 진화한다.

 Now we've got a yeast that once made its home in an apple tree or in a wetland but that at this point can live quite happily in our body, hide from our immune system, and disarm our drugs.

 이제 우리는 한때 사과나무나 습지에 서식지를 만들었지만  시점에서는 우리의 몸속에서  행복하게 살고, 우리의 면역 체계로부터 숨고, 우리의 약을 무장 해제시킬  있는 효모를 갖게 되었다.

 Then some of us carry it from one country to another and then another, and eventually it finds a host in a hospital patient who has recently received an organ transplant or is elderly with a weakened immune system.

 그러고 나서 우리  일부가  나라에서 다른 나라 그리고  다른 나라로 그것을 옮기고 결국 그것은 장기 이식을 최근에 받았거나 약해진 면역 체계를 가진 노인인 병원 환자에서 숙주를 찾는다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 30: 감정이 기억 형성에 미치는 영향

 Memory is shaped by emotions connected to an experience.

 기억은 경험과 연결된 감정에 의해 형성된다.

 For this reason, inaccuracies often hide the full picture of what happened.

 이러한 이유로 부정확성은 일어났던 일의 전체적인 상황을 종종 숨긴다.

 For example, a company might decide to hire a consultant to assist with a major project.

 예를 들어  회사가 중대한 프로젝트를 조력할  자문 위원을 고용하기로 결정했을  있다.

 During this project, the consultant demonstrated some personality traits that clashed with a couple of the executives involved.

  프로젝트 동안  자문 위원은  명의 관여된 경영진들과 부딪치는 몇몇 성격 특성들을 보여 주었다.

 Through the course of the project, they were able to put aside the personality conflicts in order to see their vision become a reality.

 프로젝트의 과정 동안 그들은 자신들의 비전이 실현되는 것을 보기 위해  성격 갈등을 한쪽으로 제쳐둘  있었다.

 Ultimately, the project was a success, enabling the company to move forward and profit.

 결국 프로젝트는 성공해서 회사가 진보하고 이익을 얻는 것을 가능하게 했다.

 At a later date, the company, remembering the previous success, expressed an interest in hiring the same consultant for another large project.

 후일  회사는 이전의 성공을 기억하여  다른  프로젝트를 위해 같은 자문 위원을 고용하는  관심을 표했다.

 The executives who struggled with his personality last time may most vividly remember their difficulty in overcoming his personality and related emotions.

 지난번 그의 성격으로 고생했던 경영진들은 그의 성격을 극복하는 것에 대한 그들의 어려움  연관된 감정들을 가장 생생히 기억할지 모른다.

 In this case, the success of the project fades into the background as they focus on their previous experience, colored by their feelings of discomfort.

 이런 경우에 그들이 불편이라는 감정에 의해 물든 이전의 경험에 집중하기 때문에 프로젝트의 성공에 대한 기억은 희미해진다.

 As a result, they convince the company to exclude the consultant, making project completion more difficult.

 결과적으로 그들은 회사가  자문 위원을 배제하도록 설득하여 프로젝트 완성을 더욱 어렵게 만든다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 31: 색상의 사회적 의미와 규제

 As colors came to take on meanings and cultural significance within societies, attempts were made to restrict their use.

 색들이 사회 내에서 의미와 문화적인 의의를 갖게 됨에 따라 그것들의 사용을 제한하는 시도들이 이루어졌다.

 The most extreme example of this phenomenon was the sumptuary laws.

  현상의 가장 극단적인 예시는 사치 금지법이었다.

 While these were passed in ancient Greece and Rome, and examples can be found in ancient China and Japan, they found their fullest expressions in Europe from the mid-twelfth century, before slowly disappearing in the early modern period.

 이것은 고대 그리스와 로마에서 통과되었고 실례들이 고대 중국과 일본에서 발견될  있지만, 그것은 초기 근대에 서서히 사라지기 전에 12세기 중반부터 유럽에서 가장 완전하게 표출되었다.

 Such laws could touch on anything from diet to dress and furnishings, and sought to enforce social boundaries by encoding the social classes into a clear visual system:

 그러한 법들은 식단에서 의복과 가구까지 어떤 것에도 관여할  있었고 사회적인 계층을 분명한 시각적 체계로 부호화함으로써 사회적인 경계선을 강요하는 것을 추구했다.

 the peasants, in other words, should eat and dress like peasants; craftsmen should eat and dress like craftsmen.

 , 다시 말해서 농부는 농부처럼 먹고 입어야 하고 기술자는 기술자처럼 먹고 입어야 한다.

 Color was a vital signifier in this social language ― dull, earthy colors like russet were explicitly confined to the poorest rural peasants, while bright ones like scarlet were the preserve of a select few.

 색은  사회적 언어에서 중대한 기표였는데, 황갈색과 같은 칙칙한 흙색은 가장 가난한 시골 농부들에게 명시적으로 국한된 반면 진홍색과 같은 밝은색들은 선택된 소수의 전유물이었다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 32: 뇌가 외부 세계를 인식하는 방식

 John Douglas Pettigrew, a professor of psychology at the University of Queensland, found that the brain manages the external world by dividing it into separate regions, the peripersonal and the extrapersonal ― basically, near and far.

 Queensland 대학의 심리학 교수인 John Douglas Pettigrew 뇌가 그것(외부 세계) '주변의' '외부의', 요컨대 '가깝다' '멀다'라는 별개의 부분들로 나눔으로써 외부 세계를 다룬다는 것을 알아냈다.

 Peripersonal space includes whatever is in arm's reach; things you can control right now by using your hands.

 주변 공간은 팔이 닿는 범위 내에 있는 모든 ,  여러분의 손을 사용함으로써 당장 여러분이 통제할  있는 것들을 포함한다.

 This is the world of what's real, right now.

 이것은 지금 당장 실제의 세계이다.

 Extrapersonal space refers to everything else ― whatever you can't touch unless you move beyond your arm's reach, whether it's three feet or three million miles away.

 외부 공간은   모든 것을 가리키는데,  3피트든 3백만 마일 밖이든 여러분이 자신의 팔이 닿는 범위를 넘어서서 움직이지 않으면 만질  없는 모든 것이다.

 This is the realm of possibility.

 이것은 가능성의 영역이다.

 With those definitions in place, another fact follows, obvious but useful: any interaction in the extrapersonal space must occur in the future.

 그러한 정의들이 자리 잡힌 상태에서 뻔하지만 유용한  하나의 사실이 따라온다. , 외부 공간에서의 모든 상호 작용은 미래에 일어나야만 한다는 것이다.

 Or, to put it another way, distance is linked to time.

 또는, 달리 말하면, 거리는 시간과 연관되어 있다.

 For instance, if you're in the mood for a peach, but the closest one is sitting in a bin at the corner market, you can't enjoy it now.

 예를 들어 만약 여러분이 복숭아를 원하지만 가장 가까운 것이 모퉁이 가게의 상자에 있다면, 여러분은 지금 그것을 즐길  없다.

 You can only enjoy it in the future, after you go get it.

 여러분은 오직 미래에  그것을 사러  후에 즐길  있다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 33: 곤충을 잡는 식충식물의 독특한 메커니즘

 Insect-eating plants' unique strategies for catching live prey have long captured the public imagination.

 식충 식물의 살아 있는 먹이를 잡기 위한 독특한 전략들은 오랫동안 대중의 상상력을 사로잡아 왔다.

 But even within this strange group, in which food-trapping mechanisms have evolved multiple times independently, some unusual ones stand out.

 그러나 심지어 먹이를 가두는 기제가 여러  독립적으로 진화해   이상한 무리 안에서조차 몇몇 특이한 것들이 두드러진다.

 According to Ulrike Bauer, an evolutionary biologist, the visually striking pitcher plant Nepenthes gracilis, for example, can exploit external energy for a purpose.

 진화 생물학자인 Ulrike Bauer 따르면 예를 들어 시각적으로 인상적인 낭상엽 식물인 'Nepenthes gracilis' 어떤 목적을 위해 외부의 에너지를 이용할  있다.

 This species' pitcher has a rigid, horizontal lid with an exposed underside that produces nectar, luring insects to land on it.

  종의 주머니 모양의 잎은 꿀을 생산하는 노출된 아랫면을 지닌 단단하고 수평으로  뚜껑을 갖고 있는데, 그것은 곤충들이  면에 앉도록 유혹한다.

 When a raindrop strikes the lid's top, the lid jolts downward and throws any unsuspecting visitor into digestive juices below.

 빗방울이 뚜껑의 윗면을  , 뚜껑은 아래쪽으로 흔들려서 의심하지 않고 있는 어떤 방문객도 아래의 소화액으로 떨구어 버린다.

 Researchers used x-ray scans to analyze cross sections of the pitchers when the lid is raised, lowered, and in a neutral position.

 연구원들은 뚜껑이 올려질 , 내려질  그리고 중립 위치에 있을 때의 주머니 모양의 잎의 단면을 분석하기 위해 엑스선 정밀 검사를 사용했다.

 Their results revealed a structural weak point in the pitcher's neck: when a raindrop hits the lid, the weak spot folds in and forces the lid to quickly move downward, similar to a diving board.

 그것의 결과는 주머니 모양의 잎의  부분에서 구조상의 약한 부분을 밝혀냈다.  빗방울이 뚜껑을    약한 지점은 안으로 접히고, 뚜껑이 아래로 빠르게 움직이도록 만드는데, 그것은 다이빙보드와 비슷하다.

 The weak point makes the pitcher's body bend and bounce back in a specific, consistent way, so the lid rises back up without bouncing too far ― unlike a typical leaf's chaotic vibration when struck by rain.

  약한 부분은 주머니 모양의 잎의 몸통을 휘었다가 특정하고 일관된 방식으로 튀어서 되돌아오도록 해서, 비에 맞을  보통의 잎의 무질서한 흔들림과 달리  뚜껑은 너무 멀리 튀지 않고 다시 올라온다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 34: 어류의 자체 발광 기능과 생존 전략

 Many fish generate their own light in a biological firework display called bioluminescence.

 많은 물고기들은 생체 발광이라고 불리는 생물학적인 불꽃놀이로 자체의 빛을 생성한다.

 The lanternfish creates beams that sweep the sea like headlamps.

 랜턴피시는 헤드라이트처럼 바다를  비추는 빛줄기를 만들어 낸다.

 The dragonfish produces wavelengths that only it can see, leaving its victims unaware of the approaching threat.

 드래곤피시는 자신만이   있는 파장을 생산해서 다가오는 위협을 먹잇감들이 인식하지 못하게 한다.

 In contrast, the anglerfish hopes its prey will notice and be lured toward its rod-like bioluminescent barbel; its fierce jaws stay hidden in the shadows.

 대조적으로 앵글러피시는 먹이가 자신의 막대 모양의 생체 발광 수염을 알아채고 그것에 유인되기를 바라는데, 그것(앵글러피시) 사나운 턱이 그림자에 감춰져 있다.

 Bioluminescence is also used to frustrate predators.

 생체 발광은 또한 포식자들을 좌절시키는  사용된다.

 A species from the spookfish family relies on a bellyful of symbiotic, glowing bacteria to save it from becoming a meal.

 스푸크피시과()  종은 식사거리가 되는 것으로부터 그것을 지켜주는 배에 가득  공생하는 빛나는 박테리아에 의존한다.

 It uses the same concept developed by the US Navy during World War II to make bomber aircraft difficult to see.

 그것은 폭격기를 보기 어렵게 만들기 위해 2 세계 대전 중에 미국 해군에 의해 개발된 동일한 발상을 사용한다.

 Just as Project Yehudi designed planes with under-wing spotlights, the fish's glowing belly conceals its silhouette against sunlight to hide it from watching eyes below.

 Yehudi 프로젝트가 날개 아랫면에 환한 조명이 있는 비행기를 설계한 것처럼,  물고기의 빛나는 복부는 태양 빛에 대비되는 자신의 실루엣을 감춰서 아래에서 주시하는 눈들로부터 그것을 숨긴다.

 In this fish-eat-fish world, survival is a game of hide-and-seek that prioritizes the sense of sight.

 물고기가 물고기를 잡아먹는  세상에서 생존은 시각을 우선시하는 숨바꼭질 게임이다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 35: 인류의 공통 조상과 생존 경쟁

 The human race traces back to a surprisingly small number of common ancestors.

 인류는 놀랄 만큼 적은 수의 공통 조상으로 거슬러 올라간다.

 It has been documented that the entire human race can be traced back to only seven different mothers, and one of these women is a common ancestor to roughly 40% of the human species.

 전체 인류가  7명의 다른 어머니들로 거슬러 올라갈  있고  여성들   명은 대략 인간 종의 40% 공통 조상이라고 밝혀졌다.

 Why is this? The simple answer is that humans are extremely good at dying and at wiping each other out.

 이것은 왜일까? 간단한 답은 인간이 죽는 것과 서로를 몰살하는 것에 몹시 능숙하다는 것이다.

 History has had many successful rulers and conquerors who have got rid of entire populations, and even beyond that, our species has wiped out plenty of similar humanoid lines that existed on this earth.

 역사적으로 전체 인구를 제거한 많은 성공적인 통치자들과 정복자들이 존재해 왔으며, 심지어 그것을 넘어 우리 종은  지구에 존재했던 수많은 비슷한 인간에 가까운 계통들을 몰살해 왔다.

 Scientific finds have so far discovered a number of other humanoid species that once shared the earth with us, some of which include Neanderthals and Denisovans.

 과학적 발견들은 지금까지 한때 우리와 지구를 공유했던 많은 인간에 가까운 종들을 발견해 왔는데, 그들  몇몇은 네안데르탈인과 데니소바인을 포함한다.

 Yet of these lines, only homo sapiens have survived, only the modern humans.

 그러나  계통들 중에서 오직 호모사피엔스,  현대의 인간들만이 살아남았다.

 That itself shows how difficult it is for a species to survive and thrive long-term on this planet.

  자체가  종이  행성에서 살아남아 장기적으로 번영하는 것이 얼마나 어려운지를 보여 준다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 36: 시간 여행의 개념에 대한 철학적 탐구

 Philosophers who seek to understand the nature of time might consider the possibility of time travel.

 시간의 본질을 이해하고자 하는 철학자들은 시간 여행의 가능성을 고려할지도 모른다.

 But there are no real-life cases of time travel.

 그러나 시간 여행의 실제 사례는 없다.

 In situations such as this, philosophers often construct thought experiments ―imagined scenarios that bring out the thoughts and presuppositions underlying people's judgments.

 이와 같은 상황들에서 철학자들은 사고 실험,  사람들의 판단의 기초가 되는 생각과 전제를 끌어내는 상상의 시나리오를 종종 구성한다.

 Sometimes these scenarios are drawn from books, movies, and television.

 때때로 이러한 시나리오들은 , 영화 그리고 텔레비전으로부터 얻어진다.

 Other times, philosophers just make up their own scenarios.

 다른 때에는 철학자들이 그냥 자신들만의 시나리오를 지어낸다.

 Either way, the point is to put such concepts to the test.

 어느 쪽이든, 요점은 그러한 개념들을 시험해 보는 것이다.

 In the case of time travel, for example, a common thought experiment is to imagine what would happen if you went back in time and found yourself in a position to interfere in such a way that you were never born.

 예를 들어 시간 여행의 경우 일반적인 사고 실험은 만약 여러분이 시간을 거슬러 가서 여러분이 결코 태어나지 않았다는 식으로 개입할 위치에 있는 자신을 발견한다면 어떤 일이 일어났을지를 상상하는 것이다.

 It seems that something must happen to prevent you from doing this, because if you were to succeed, you would not exist and so you would not have been able to go back in time.

 여러분이 그렇게 하는 것을 막기 위해 무슨 일이 일어나야 하는 것처럼 보이는데, 왜냐하면 만약 여러분이 성공한다면, 여러분은 존재하지 않을 것이고 그래서 여러분은 시간을 거슬러   없었을것이기 때문이다.

 As a result of thinking through these sorts of cases, some philosophers claim that the very notion of time travel makes no sense.

 이러한 종류의 사례들을 통해 생각한 결과, 일부 철학자들은 시간 여행이라는 바로  개념이 말이 되지 않는다고 주장한다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 37: 수면  감각 정보의 차단 과정

 A universal indicator of sleep is the loss of external awareness.

 수면의  보편적인 지표는 외부 인식의 상실이다.

 You are no longer conscious of all that surrounds you, at least not explicitly.

 여러분은 자신을 둘러싸고 있는 모든 것을, 최소한 겉으로 보기에는,  이상 의식하지 않는다.

 In actual fact, your ears are still 'hearing'; your eyes, though closed, are still capable of 'seeing.'

 실상은 여러분의 귀는 여전히 '듣고' 있고, 눈은, 감겨 있지만, 여전히 '보는 ' 가능하다.

 All these signals still flood into the center of your brain while you sleep, but they are blocked by a perceptual barricade set up in a structure called the thalamus.

  모든 신호들은 여러분이 자는 동안 여전히 뇌의 중심부로 흘러들어 가지만, 그것들은 시상이라고 불리는 조직에 설치된 지각의 바리케이드에 의해 차단된다.

 The thalamus decides which sensory signals are allowed through its gate, and which are not.

 시상은 그것의 문을 통해 어떤 감각 신호들이 들여보내질지, 어떤 것들이 그렇지 않을지를 결정한다.

 Should they be granted its permission to pass, they are sent to the cortex at the top of your brain, where they are consciously perceived.

 그것들이 그것(시상) 통행 허가를 받게 된다면, 그것들은 여러분의  상부에 있는 대뇌피질로 보내지는데, 거기서 그것들은 의식적으로 지각된다.

 By locking its gates shut, the thalamus imposes a sensory blackout in the brain, preventing onward travel of those signals to the cortex.

 그것의 문을 닫아 잠금으로써 시상은 뇌에 감각 정전을 가하고,  신호들의 대뇌피질을 향한 전진 이동을 막는다.

 As a result, you are no longer consciously aware of the information broadcasts being transmitted from your outer sense organs.

  결과 여러분은 외부 감각 기관으로부터 전송되고 있는 정보 방송을  이상 의식적으로 인식하지 못한다.

 At this moment, your brain has lost waking contact with the outside world.

  순간 여러분의 뇌는 외부 세계와의 깨어 있는 접촉을 잃었다.

 Said another way, you are now asleep.

 다른 말로 하면, 여러분은 지금 잠이  것이다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 38: 윤리적 의사결정에서의 감정적 요소

 Emotional response to the world is an inherent part of ethics.

 세상에 대한 감정적 반응은 윤리학의 내재적인 부분이다.

 In ethics, appeals to compassion and empathy can and should be part of rational arguments about ethical decisions.

 윤리학에서 연민과 공감에 대한 호소는 윤리적 결정에 대한 합리적인 주장의 일부가   있고  그래야 한다.

 Moreover, the best practices of objectivity often combine partiality and impartiality.

 더욱이 객관성의 가장 좋은 실천들은 종종 편파성과 공정성을 결합한다.

 In a trial, the partiality of the prosecutor and the defense attorney (and the parties they represent) occurs within a larger impartial context.

 재판에서 검사와 변호인( 그들이 대리하는 당사자들) 편파성은   공정한 맥락 안에서 발생한다.

 A judge or jury puts partial arguments to the test of objective evidence and to the impartial rules of law.

 판사나 배심원은 편파적인 주장들을 객관적인 증거의 시험대와 공정한  원칙에 맡긴다.

 Ideally, what is fair and objective emerges during a trial where partialities make their case and are judged by objective norms.

 이상적으로, 공정하고 객관적인 것은 편파성이 자신의 주장을 하고 객관적인 규범에 의해 판단되는 재판 동안 드러난다.

 The norms of objectivity were constructed not because their creators thought most humans could be 'empty' of bias.

 객관성의 규범은 그것을 만든 사람들이 대부분의 인간은 편견이 '없을'  있다고 생각했기 때문에 만들어진 것이 아니다.

 The reverse is true: the norms were constructed because of an acute awareness of human bias, because it is evident.

  반대가 사실인데,  규범은 인간의 편견에 대한 예리한 인식 때문에,  그것이 명백하게 나타나기 때문에 만들어졌다.

 Rather than conclude that objectivity is impossible because bias is universal, scientists, journalists, and others concluded the opposite:

 편견이 보편적이기 때문에 객관성이 불가능하다고 결론을 내리기보다는 과학자, 언론인 그리고 다른 이들은 반대의 결론을 내렸다.

 we biased humans need the discipline of objectivity to reduce the ineliminable presence of bias.

  우리 편향된 인간은 제거할  없는 편견의 존재를 줄이기 위해 객관성의 규율을 필요로 한다는 것이다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 39: 고양이의 야간 시력과 생물학적 적응

 The fact that cats' eyes glow in the dark is part of their enhanced light-gathering efficiency; there is a reflective layer behind the retina, so light can hit the retina when it enters the eye, or when it is reflected from behind the retina.

 고양이의 눈이 어둠 속에서 빛난다는 사실은 그것의 강화된 집광 효율성의 일부인데, 망막 뒤에는 반사 층이 있어서 빛이 눈에 들어올 때나 망막 뒤에서 반사될  그것이 망막에 닿을  있다.

 Light that manages to miss the retina exits the eye and creates that ghostly glow.

 망막을 어떤 식으로든 벗어난 빛은 눈을 빠져나와  유령 같은 빛을 만들어 낸다.

 When cats' light-gathering ability is combined with the very large population of rods in their eyes, the result is a predator that can see exceptionally well in the dark.

 고양이의 집광 능력이 고양이의   매우 많은 간상체의 개체 수와 결합될 ,  결과는 어둠 속에서 유난히    있는 포식자이다.

 Cats 'pay' for this nighttime accuracy with less accurate daytime vision and an inability to focus on close objects.

 고양이는  정확한 주간 시력과 가까운 물체에 초점을  맞추는 것으로 이러한 야간의 정확성에 대한 '대가를 지불한다.'

 This may seem counterproductive; what is the point of seeing a mouse in the dark if, in that final, close moment, the cat can't focus on it?

 이것은 비생산적으로 보일  있는데, 만약 고양이가  마지막, 아슬아슬한  간에 그것() 초점을 맞출  없다면 어둠 속에서 쥐를 보는 것이 무슨 의미가 있을까?

 Tactile information comes into play at this time; cats can move their whiskers forward and use them to get information about objects within the grasp of their jaws.

 이때 촉각 정보가 작용하기 시작하는데, 고양이들은 콧수염을 앞으로 움직여서 그들의 턱으로   있는 범위 내의 물체들에 대한 정보를 얻는  사용할  있다.

 So the next time you see a cat seeming to nap in the bright sunlight, eyes half-closed, remember that it may simply be shielding its retina from a surplus of light.

 그러므로 다음번에 여러분이 밝은 햇빛 속에서, 눈이 반쯤 감긴 채로, 낮잠을 자고 있는 것처럼 보이는 고양이를 보면, 그것이 단순히 과도한 빛으로부터 망막을 보호하고 있을 뿐일 수도 있다는 것을기억하라.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 40: 미술관 방문  대화 감소가 감정 반응 증가

 In one study, researchers gave more than five hundred visitors to an art museum a special glove that reported their movement patterns along with physiological data such as their heart rates.

  연구에서 연구자들은 500 이상의  미술관 방문객들에게 심박수와 같은 생리학적인 데이터와 함께 그들의 움직임 패턴을 보고하는 특별한 장갑을 주었다.

 The data showed that when people were not distracted by chatting with companions, they actually had a stronger emotional response to the art.

  데이터는 사람들이 동행자들과 수다를 떠는 것에 의해 주의를 빼앗기지 않을  그들이 실제로 예술품에  강한 감정적인 반응을 가진다는 것을 보여 주었다.

 Of course, there's nothing wrong with chatting and letting the art slide past, but think of the inspiration those museum visitors missed out on.

 물론 수다를 떨고 예술품을 지나치는 것은 잘못된 것이 아니지만  미술관 방문객들이 놓친 영감을 생각해 보라.

 Then apply that to life in general.

 그다음에 그것을 일반적인 삶에 적용하라.

 When we surround ourselves with other people, we're not just missing out on the finer details of an art exhibition.

 우리가 다른 사람들과 함께 있을  우리는 단지 미술 전시회의  세부적인 사항을 놓치고 있는 것만이 아니다.

 We're missing out on the chance to reflect and understand ourselves better.

 우리는 자신을   성찰하고 이해할  있는 기회를 놓치고 있는 것이다.

 In fact, studies show that if we never allow ourselves to be alone, it's just plain harder for us to learn.

 실제로 연구들은 만약 우리가 혼자 있는 것을 결코 허용하지 않는다면, 우리가 배우는 것이 분명히  어렵다는 것을 보여 준다.

 Other research found that young people who cannot stand being alone were less likely to develop creative skills like playing an instrument or writing because the most effective practice of these abilities is often done while alone.

 다른 연구는 혼자 있는 것을 견디지 못하는 젊은이들이 악기 연주나 글쓰기와 같은 창의적인 기술을 개발할 가능성이 적었는데 왜냐하면 이러한 능력들의 가장 효과적인 연습이 대체로 혼자 있을 행해지기 때문이라는 것을 발견했다.

 [요약문] The study above shows avoiding conversation with companions while exploring an art museum intensifies emotional response to art, suggesting that absence of alone time may inhibit personal growth and learning.

 [요약문] 위의 연구는 미술관을 관람하면서 동행자와의 대화를 피하는 것이 예술품에 대한 정서적 반응을 강화한다는 것을 보여 주며, 혼자만의 시간의 부재가 개인의 성장과 배움을 저해할  있음을시사한다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 41~42: 색맹의 생물학적  진화적 측면

 There are a number of human characteristics that would seem to be disadvantageous yet continue to survive, generation after generation.

 불리해 보일지 모르지만 대대로 계속해서 살아남는 많은 인간의 특징들이 있다.

 One example is color blindness.

  가지 예가 색맹이다.

 Most color blindness is associated with genes on the X chromosome.

 대부분의 색맹은 X염색체의 유전자와 관련이 있다.

 Women have two X chromosomes, so if this problem occurs on one of them, the other can compensate.

 여성은 2개의 X염색체를 가지고 있어서 만약  문제가 그중  개에서 발생하면 다른 하나가 상쇄할  있다.

 But men have only one X chromosome.

 하지만 남성은  하나의 X염색체를 가지고 있다.

 If the mutation occurs there, that male is color blind.

 만약 돌연변이가 거기서 일어난다면,  남자는 색맹이다.

 We might ask why such a deficiency would survive and not die out.

 우리는  그런 결점이 살아남아서 사라지지 않는지 질문할지 모른다.

 To understand this, we can consider ancient hunter-gatherers, with the men doing most of the hunting for meat and the women doing most of the gathering of fruits and nuts.

 이것을 이해하기 위해 고대의 수렵 채집인들을 살펴볼  있는데, 남성은 고기를 위한 사냥의 대부분을, 여성은 과일과 견과류 채집의 대부분을 한다.

 Gathering fruits, especially berries, and nuts is much more productive if it is easy to distinguish the red or purple fruit from the green leaves of the plant.

 만약 식물의 녹색 잎으로부터 빨간색이나 보라색 과일을 구별하는 것이 쉽다면 과일, 특히 베리류와 견과류를 채집하는 것은 훨씬  생산적이다.

 If red-green color blindness were common among women, the resulting lack of productivity would likely cause this trait to die out relatively quickly.

 만약 여성들 사이에 적록 색맹이 흔하다면, 그로 인한 생산성의 부족은  특성이 비교적 빨리 소멸하도록 만들 가능성이 있다.

 On the other hand, the men out hunting don't much rely on being able to contrast red from green.

 반면 사냥에 나간 남성들은 초록색으로부터 빨간색을 대조시킬  있는 것에 크게 의존하지 않는다.

 Most of the animals they are hunting have fur or feathers that help them hide.

 그들이 사냥하는 대부분의 동물들은 그것들이 숨는 것을 도와주는 털이나 깃털을 가지고 있다.

 Rather than relying on color, the hunter relies on an acute ability to detect motion.

 색에 의존하기보다는 사냥꾼은 움직임을 감지하는 예리한 능력에 의존한다.

 It is conceivable that a reduction in color contrast in these circumstances might actually enhance one's ability to detect subtle motions.

 이러한 상황에서  대비의 감소는 미묘한 움직임을 감지하는 사람의 능력을 실제로 향상시킬지 모른다고 생각할 만하다.

 Given that a hunted animal blends into its surroundings, less background color variation would be less of a visual distraction.

 사냥당하는 동물이 주변 환경에 섞여 들어가 있다는 것을 고려할 , 배경색의  적은 변동은  적은 시각적인 방해가  것이다.

 

[3] 2024 05 – 43~45: 서로 다른 관점이 모두 옳을  있음을 깨달은 쌍둥이 자매

 Pamela and Maggie were identical twins.

 Pamela Maggie 일란성 쌍둥이였다.

 Even their parents found it hard to tell them apart.

 심지어 그들의 부모도 그들을 구별하는 것을 어려워했다.

 But although they looked identical, they were different in every other way.

 비록 그들이 똑같아 보였지만 그들은 다른 모든 부분에서 달랐다.

 They didn't have anything in common, so they fought all the time.

 그들은 공통점이 없었고, 그래서 그들은 항상 싸웠다.

 Pamela thought that her sister was weird and incomprehensible, and of course Maggie felt the same way.

 Pamela 그녀의 자매(Maggie) 이상하며 이해할  없다고 생각했고 물론 Maggie 똑같이 느꼈다.

 For example, Pamela was always upset at her sister waking up early in the morning.

 예를 들어 Pamela 그녀의 자매가 이른 아침에 일어나는 것에 대해 항상 기분이 언짢았다.

 She didn't understand why her sister couldn't finish what she needed to do at night and sleep peacefully the next morning.

 그녀(Pamela) 그녀의 자매가  해야  일을 밤에 끝내고 다음  아침에 편히   없는지 이해하지 못했다.

 To Maggie, staying up past the time she began to feel sleepy was exhausting.

 Maggie에게는 그녀(Maggie) 졸린 것을 느끼기 시작한 시간이 지나고도 깨어 있는 것은 매우 피곤한 일이었다.

 Besides, she loved the fresh morning air.

 게다가 그녀는 상쾌한 아침 공기를 좋아했다.

 They had fights about simple things like this every day.

 그들은 이와 같은 단순한 일들로 매일 싸웠다.

 Tired of the endless arguments, their mother Rachel decided to put an end to them.

 끝없는 언쟁에 지친 그들의 어머니 Rachel 그것을 끝내기로 결심했다.

 She would make them understand that each of their points of view could be correct.

 그녀는 그들의 관점 각각이 옳을  있다는 것을 그들이 이해하게 만들려 했다.

 One day, the twins were brought to the dining table where a big board stood in the middle.

 하루는 쌍둥이들이  판자가 가운데 세워져 있는 식탁으로 불려 왔다.

 Pamela sat on one side of the board and her twin on the other.

 Pamela 판자의 한쪽에, 그녀의 쌍둥이(Maggie) 다른 한쪽에 앉았다.

 Rachel asked Pamela what the color of the board was.

 Rachel Pamela에게 판자의 색깔이 무엇이냐고 물었다.

 "Black," she said.

 "검은색이요."라고 그녀가 대답했다.

 After hearing Pamela's answer, Rachel asked the same question to the other daughter.

 Pamela 대답을 들은 후에 Rachel 다른 (Maggie)에게 똑같은 질문을 했다.

 She replied it was white.

 그녀는 그것이 하얀색이라고 대답했다.

 Predictably, they began arguing.

 예상대로 그들은 언쟁을 시작했다.

 Rachel then asked them to switch seats.

 그러자 Rachel 그들에게 자리를 바꾸도록 요청했다.

 Each sitting on a new chair, they were surprised to realize the board was black on one side and white on the other.

 각자 새로운 의자에 앉자 그들은  판자의 한쪽이 검은색이고 다른 한쪽이 하얀색이라는 것을 깨닫고 놀랐다.

 Understanding what their mother wanted to say, they promised they would never insist the other was wrong again.

 그들의 어머니가 하고자 했던 말을 이해하고, 그들은 다시는 서로가 틀렸다고 주장하지 않겠다고 약속했다.
