크리스틴쌤: 영어회화 Level 3 Power English
카메론쌤: Welcome to the Show!
크리스틴쌤: Thank you much for joining us on our last day, here of this month. And we’ve got an article for you today. And I wanted to just get right into it. It starts with the question “Does Time Go by Faster as You Get Older?” What’s your answer?
카메론쌤: I think yes.
크리스틴쌤: but why?
카메론쌤: I think because our memory goes away. If you think about it, when we were a kid. we remember everything.
크리스틴쌤: Well, we’ve got a lot of time.
카메론쌤: We’ve got a lot of time. And then as we get older, I feel like we just don’t remember anything.
크리스틴쌤: If you like, that’s why it goes faster?
카메론쌤: I don’t remember anything since 23. Like a just,
크리스틴쌤: OMG! What are you gonna be like when you are like 50, Cameron.
카메론쌤: I don’t know.
크리스틴쌤: You’re gonna be like an 80 years old
카메론쌤: I do think it’s why we always feel younger than we are. People who are 50 say that I feel like I’m 35. People are 35 say I feel like I’m 22.
크리스틴쌤: People who are 80s say, you know, I still feel like I’m 25. That’s kind of sad when I hear something like that.
[ARTICLE] Does Time Go By Faster as You Get Older? 나이가 들수록 시간은 더 빨리 가는가?
Do you remember how waiting for Christmas seemed like an eternity as a kid? Then, as you got older, time felt like was moving faster. At 40, you look back on your late 20s like it was yesterday. At 60, your whole life seems to have flown by. As you age, your perception of time shifts. At 8, a month is a large portion of your life. At 80, a month is blip. As a child, however, every day brings something new, which sets children apart from seniors who tend to get into a routine as they get older.
** blip = very short moment. 삑하는 소리
아이에게는 크리스마스를 기다리는 것이 영원처럼 보였다는 것을 기억하는가? 그러다 나이가 들수록 시간이 더 빨리 가는 것처럼 느껴진다. 마흔살에 20대 후반을 돌아보면 어제같다. 예순에는 삶 전체가 날아간 것처럼 보인다. 나이가 들수록 시간에 대한 인식이 바뀐다. 여덟살에는 한달이 인생에서 큰 부분을 차지한다. 여든살에는 한달이 한순간이다. 하지만 아이에게는 하루 하루가 새로운데, 이것이 아이들을 나이가 들수록 일상생활에 익숙해지려는 경향이 있는 노인들과 차별화하는 것이다.
