Eureka: The Word Just Burst Out!

Now, the VOA Special English program, WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.

 

Our word today is eureka. It is a kind of word called an expletive. Expletives are quick, short outcries of pain, surprise, anger or joy. We hear them all the time.
오늘의 단어는 유레카입니다. 유레카는 감탄사입니다. 감탄사는 고통, 놀람, 노여움, 혹은 기쁨을 빠르고 짧게 소리 지르는 것입니다.


Ow! Wow! Holy smoke! Yikes! Some are considered not nice. They cannot be repeated here!

 우리는 항상 감탄사를 듣습니다. ‘아야’, ‘와’, ‘저런’, ‘아이쿠’ 등이 있습니다. 일부 감탄사들은 저속합니다. (방송이기 때문에) 저속한 표현들을 여러분들에게 소개해 드릴 수는 없겠죠.

 

An expletive, or exclamation, bursts from your throat without thought.  It is an expression of pure emotion.  It helps ease your pain, or gives wing to a joyous surprise.

감탄사는 의도하지 않아도 저절로 튀어나오는 말입니다. 순수한 감정의 표현인 것입니다. 감탄사는 고통을 경감시켜주기도 하고 뜻하지 않은 기쁨에 날개를 달아줍니다.

 

One expletive -- eureka! -- is slowly going out of style. Let us examine it before it disappears altogether.

‘유레카’라는 감탄사는 시나브로 구식이 되어가고 있습니다. 완전히 사라지기 전에 이 단어에 대해 알아봅시다.

 

Perhaps you have heard how this word came into existence. The story has been told many times.

아마도 여러분은 이 단어가 어떻게 생겨났는지에 대해 들어보았을 것입니다. 수없이 구전되었기 때문입니다.

 

Archimedes, the great scientist of ancient Greece, lived in Syracuse at the time of King Hiero the Second. The king had ordered a crown of gold. He suspected that his goldsmith had mixed some silver with it.
고대 그리스의 위대한 과학자였던 아르키메데스는 히에로 2세가 통치하던 시절 시러큐스에 살고 있었습니다. 히에로 왕은 금으로 왕관을 만들라고 지시했습니다. 그는 금 세공인이 왕관에 은을 조금 섞지 않았을까 하는 의구심이 들었습니다.

The king called on Archimedes.  He asked him to examine the crown to see if it was pure gold.

 왕은 아르키메데스를 찾아갔습니다. 그는 아르키메데스에게 왕관이 순금으로 만들어졌는지를 알아보라고 지시했습니다.

 

Archimedes was puzzled. How could he learn if the crown was pure gold? One day, he stepped into the water of a public bath. He observed the water flowing over the top of the bathtub.
아르키메데스는 당혹스러웠습니다. 어떻게 그가 왕관이 순금으로 만들어졌는지 알 수 있었을까요? 어느 날 그는 공중목욕탕의 탕 속에 물에 발을 담궜습니다. 그는 욕조위에 흐르는 물을 관찰했습니다.

He carefully studied the overflow. Suddenly, he realized how he could test the gold in the king's crown.

 그는 조심스럽게 그 흐름을 살펴보았습니다. 갑자기 어떻게 왕관의 금을 확인할 수 있는지 깨달았습니다.

 

He knew that gold was heavier than silver. So, a piece of gold would be smaller than a piece of silver of the same weight.

그는 금이 은보다 더 무겁다는 사실을 알고 있었습니다. 따라서 같은 무게의 금과 은을 비교해 본다면, 금의 부피가 더 적었겠지요.

 

He could get a piece of pure gold that weighed the same as the king's crown. He could put it in a full container of water and measure how much water it displaced.

그는 왕관의 무게만큼 나가는 순금 덩어리를 구했습니다. 그는 물로 가득 찬 양동이 안에 그 순금 덩어리를 넣고 넘치는 물의 양을 측정했습니다.

 

Then, he could put the crown in the same container of water. If more water flowed out, the crown was not pure gold.

그리고 똑같은 양동이에다 왕관을 놓았습니다. 만약 더 많은 물이 밖으로 흘러내린다면 왕관은 순금이 아닐 것입니다.

 

Archimedes was so excited by this discovery that he jumped out of the public bath and ran naked through the city streets toward home. As he ran, he shouted: "Eureka! Eureka! I have found it! I have found it!"

아르키메데스는 이 발견에 너무 흥분하여 공중목욕탕 밖으로 뛰쳐나갔고 나체로 길거리로 뛰쳐나가 집으로 향했습니다. 그는 달리면서 이렇게 소리쳤습니다 “유레카! 유레카! 내가 발견했어! 내가 발견했다고!”

 

True or not, it is a delightful story.  And it is an established fact that Archimedes did discover that when two objects weigh the same. . . but are of different density. . . the less dense object displaces more water than the denser one. 

사실 여부를 떠나 이 이야기는 즐거움을 줍니다. 그리고 무게가 같은 두 개의 물체의 밀도가 다를 때, 낮은 밀도를 가진 물체가 더 많은 물을 넘치게 한다는 사실을 아르키메데스가 발견한 것은 모두가 알고 있는 이야기입니다.
