Less stuff, more happiness

<Ice breaking: 계절관련 표현 > 

Changing Seasons 

 

가을탄다  I am feeling restless (잠자리 설치거나, 생각때문에 설치거나, 집 안에 갇혀있는데 따분한느낌, 너무 심심하고, 뭘 해도 약간 귀차니즘에 빠질때)

I get sentimental in the fall. 

봄: spring fever (열)  / 황사: yellow(Asian) dust, 미세먼지: micro dust

여름: summer breeze / 열대야: tropical nights 

가을/ 겨울: Autumn / winter blues (mild depression) 

 

What’s your favorite and worst season?

• Summer: 
• Worst season: Winter
• Spring: rekindle (feelings / memories), reminds him of childhood, lived in the countryside
• You are opposite to me. Siberia(Saiberia), (Cecius / Farenheit), cozy, 
• Cool and chilly, fallen leaves,
• Don’t like / Dislike / hate / despise(경멸) / abhor (경멸+ 혐오) / 
• Indoor / outdoor person / I am ourdoorsy
• Couch potato,
• Howling 

 

Minimalism: 적게 소유하고 언제든지 떠날 수 있는

What's in the box? Whatever it is must be pretty (=very, 꽤) important, because I've traveled with it, moved it, from apartment to apartment to apartment. 

How are you doing?

- pretty (구어적인 = Colloquial (구어적) expressions = Colloquialism 

It is pretty (very) important to me

- pretty: very / quite

Sound familiar? Did you know that we Americans have about three times the amount of space we did 50 years ago? Three times. So you'd think, with all this extra space, we'd have plenty of room for all our stuff. Nope.

• 그는 내 덩치에 3배다 
• He is three times as big as I
• He has three times the size of me. 

 There's a new industry in town, a 22 billion-dollar, 2.2 billion sq. ft. industry: that of personal storage. So we've got triple the space, but we've become such (so) good shoppers that we need even more space. So where does this lead? Lots of credit card debt, huge environmental footprints, and perhaps not coincidentally, our happiness levels flat-lined over the same 50 years. 

= ecological foot print: 사람이 사는 동안 자연에 남긴 영향을 토지의 면적으로 환산한 수치

Co(together)-ed: 남녀공학: It is a co-ed school, I go to a co-ed school. 남자학교, I go to a boys school. I go to a girl school.

Private school (사립학교) - I went to a catholic all boys school. 

Public School(공학- 남녀다있는). 

Co-incident: 동시발생적인, 우연히

Well I'm here to suggest there's a better way, that less might actually equal more. I bet most of us have experienced at some point the joys of less: college -- in your dorm, traveling -- in a hotel room, camping -- rig up basically nothing, maybe a boat.

 Whatever it was for you, I bet that, among other things, this gave you a little more freedom, a little more time. So I'm going to suggest that less stuff and less space are going to equal a smaller footprint. It's actually a great way to save you some money. And it's going to give you a little more ease in your life. 

 

01:50

So I started a project called Life Edited at lifeedited.org to further this conversation and to find some great solutions in this area. First up: crowd-sourcing my 420 sq. ft. apartment in Manhattan with partners Mutopo and Jovoto.com. I wanted it all -- home office, sit down dinner for 10, room for guests, and all my kite surfing gear. 

First up: / First off, 첫번째로

First of all: 첫번째로 (문어 구어 다쓰는 표현)

/Above all (무엇보다 중요한 /가장 중요한)

I think love is important above all things. 

 

 

With over 300 entries from around the world, I got it, my own little jewel box. By buying a space that was 420 sq. ft. instead of(~대신에)600, immediately I'm saving 200 grand. Smaller space is going to make for smaller utilities -- save some more money there, but also a smaller footprint. And because it's really designed around an edited set of possessions -- my favorite stuff -- and really designed for me, I'm really excited to be there. 

By ~ing: I can lose weight by exercising. By eating healthy, we can live longer. By studying English, I can live a better life. 

 

Instead of ~ing (명사) ~대신에

What does grand stand for? (Grand = 1,000) , 

Tuition: 50 grand per year for private school. 6천만원. 

Grand and grant (~부여하다, 주다, = subsidy 보조금)

How many figures do you make? 

I make 5 figures (몇만원)  I make 6 figures. (억단위),

 

 

02:44

So how can you live little? Three main approaches. First of all, you have to edit ruthlessly. We've got to clear the arteries of our lives. And that shirt that I hadn't worn in years? It's time for me to let it go. We've got to cut the extraneous out of our lives, and we've got to learn to stem the inflow.

 

stem: 줄기, 막다

STEM (ACRONYM=머리 글자로 만든말, 줄임말 abbreviation) 카톡: 카카오톡

Synonym / antonym 

S: Science / T: Technology/ E: Engineering /M: Mathematics 

Stem the tide:  Start to stop the bad thing from happening  

 

학교관련

: Veterinarian studies (vet): 수의학. Animal expert. 

I am an animal (뭘 좋아하는지가 들어가고) person : 나는 동물 사람이다. (= 나는 동물을 정말 사랑하는 사람이다) 

Are you a dog person? Or Are you a cat person? 

전공(Major): public administration / English /  experience / traveling/ learn musical instruments, good view point / speech /

I want my minor to be History and Politics. 

Political Science (정치과학) 

Because of money, she was ill, first child. sibilings(형제자매), 

사회과학(Social Studies / Social Science),

인문학(Liberal arts / humanities)

Literature / English / Language art (외국어) 

문과(arts)

이과(sciences) 

부전공(Minor):

복수전공(double Major):

교양(electives): 

 

We need to think / before we buy. Ask ourselves, "Is that really going to make me happier? Truly?" By all means, (반드시, 결단코, 어떻게해서라도) we should buy and own some great stuff. But we want stuff(things) that we're going to love for years, not just stuff. 

By all means you should take that job. 

 

03:21

Secondly, our new mantra: small is sexy. We want space efficiency(공간 효율). We want things that are designed for how they're used the vast majority of the time, not that rare event. Why have a six burner stove when you rarely use three? So we want things that nest, we want things that stack, and we want it digitized. You can take paperwork, books, movies, and you can make it disappear -- it's magic. 

 

03:49

Finally, we want multifunctional (다용도, 다중기능) spaces and housewares (가전용품) -- a sink combined with a toilet, a dining table becomes a bed -- same space, a little side table stretches out to seat 10. In the “winning Life Edited” scheme in a render (보여지다, 보여진것) here, we combine a moving wall with transformer furniture / to get a lot out of the space.

 

Get (a lot) out: 무언가를 얻다, 영양가 얻다, 뽕뽑는다. To get a little out of something. 

We have to stay at least an hour / to get a lot out of our time in sauna. 

Students have to focus / to get a lot (out of= from) the class. 

Get out: 나가라 get out of here: get out a lot / a little of something(무언가로부터 활용한다/얻는다)

Take out/ take off/ get out /get off 

In his greater scheme(잘 짜여진 치밀한 계획) of things, 

복잡하잖아요, In His greater scheme(계략, 음모, 잘 짜여진 계획)of things, he is taking care of our life.

scheme(계획)

 

 

 Look at the coffee table -- it grows in height and width to seat(앉다/앉히다) 10. My office folds away, easily hidden. My bed just pops out of the wall with two fingers. Guests? Move the moving wall, have some fold-down guest beds. And of course, my own movie theater. 

그는 매년 지혜로워진다. 지식이 자란다. 

 

He grows in knowledge every year. 

He grows in character every year. 

Q: personality (개성, 인성) / character (성품)?

: Personality: shown:

Character: not shown: 

He has a strong personality: 

He has a strong character:  

 

Seat: 앉다 / 앉히다. 

 

04:31

So I'm not saying that we all need to live in 420 sq. ft. But consider the benefits of an edited life. Go from 3,000 to 2,000, from 1,500 to 1,000. Most of us, maybe all of us, are here pretty happily for a bunch of days with a couple of bags, maybe a small space, a hotel room.

A bunch of  = A lot of : 한 묶음의, 많은

A bundle = 패키지, 묶음  

There is a bunch of trash over there.

A bunch (lot) of stuff: 

 

 So when you go home and you walk through your front door, take a second and ask yourselves, "Could I do with a little life editing? Would that give me a little more freedom? Maybe a little more time?" 

제가 당신의 시간좀 빌릴수 있을까요?

• Could you give me a minute? Some time?
• Can I take your some time?
• Have you got the time?
• Can I give you a hand? (내가 당신 좀 도와줄수 있을까요?)
• Can I have your hand? (날 좀 도와줄래요?)
• Colloquial (Can I steal you for a second?): 내가 당신을 좀 훔쳐도 될까요? = 내가 당신과 좀 시간보내고 싶다. 
• Can I steal him/her for a second(직역을 1초, 의역을 하면 잠깐의 시간)?:
• For a little while = for a second = for a minute 
• Do you have time?
• (The) First / (the) second / (the)  third

What's in the box? It doesn't really matter. I know I don't need it. What's in yours? Maybe, just maybe, less might equal more. So let's make room for the good stuff. 

1. It doesn’t really matter: 별로 안 중요해.  It is not really important. 

-  Playing out is not really important.

1. It really doesn’t matter: 진짜 중요하지 않다. It really is not important 

- What you wear is not really important, what is really important what you wear inside.
