"THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE"
What a' dull, heavy creature," says the Hare, "is this Tortoise!" "And yet," says the Tortoise, "I'll run with you for a wager." "Done," says the Hare, and then they asked the Fox to be the judge. They started together, and the Tortoise kept jogging on still, till he came to the end of the course. The Hare laid himself down midway and took a nap; "for," says he, "I can catch up with the Tortoise when I please." But it seems he overslept himself, for when he came to wake, though he scudded away as fast as possible, the Tortoise had got to the post before him and won the wager. Slow and steady wins the race.'

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 "이기다"를 "won"으로 직역하기 쉽지만, 경쟁 상대를 이길 때는 "beat"을 씁니다. "won"은 경기나 상(prize)을 목적어로 쓰고, 사람을 이길 때는 "beat someone"이 올바른 표현입니다. 또한 "slowly"와 "steadily"는 뜻이 다릅니다 — 거북이는 느리지만 "꾸준히" 달렸기에 "steadily"가 더 정확합니다.
Discussion
Discuss with your teacher.
선생님과 토론해 보세요.
- The moral of the fable is "Slow and steady wins the race." Do you think this is always true in real life? Can you think of a situation where speed matters more than consistency?
이 우화의 교훈은 "느리더라도 꾸준하면 이긴다"입니다. 실생활에서도 항상 맞는 말일까요? 꾸준함보다 속도가 더 중요한 상황을 떠올릴 수 있나요? - The Hare was very talented but lost because of overconfidence. Have you seen someone talented fail for a similar reason?
토끼는 재능이 뛰어났지만 자만심 때문에 졌습니다. 비슷한 이유로 실패한 재능 있는 사람을 본 적이 있나요? - If you were the Hare, what would you do differently? Would you still take a nap, or would you run the whole race seriously?
만약 여러분이 토끼라면 어떻게 다르게 하시겠어요? 그래도 낮잠을 자시겠어요, 아니면 끝까지 진지하게 달리시겠어요?
