내용 이해

(1) Why do children find it easier to understand up/down and front/back directions? 

(어린이들이 왜 위/아래, 앞/뒤 방향을 이해하는 것이 더 쉬운 것일까요?) 

(2) What two dimensions have had a strong influence on our evolution? 

(어떤 두 가지 차원이 우리의 진화에 큰 영향을 미쳤나요?) 

(3) How do these dimensions affect our perception? 

(이 차원들이 우리의 인식에 어떻게 영향을 미치나요?) 

(4) Why is the left-right axis less relevant in nature? 

(왼쪽-오른쪽 축이 자연에서 왜 덜 중요한가요?) 

(5) When can we tell left and right have been inverted in a scene? 

(장면에서 왼쪽과 오른쪽이 뒤집혔음을 어떻게 알 수 있나요?)

* Suggested Answers

(1) Children find it easier to understand up/down and front/back directions due to their evolutionary relevance. 

(Reason: Evolutionary influences make these directions more instinctive.) 

(2) The vertical dimension as defined by gravity and the front/back dimension as defined by the positioning of sensory and feeding mechanisms have had a strong influence on our evolution. 

(Reason: These dimensions are crucial for survival.) 

(3) These dimensions affect our perception of vertical versus horizontal, far versus close, and the search for dangers from above or below. 

(Reason: They shape our understanding of the environment.) 

(4) The left-right axis is less relevant in nature because threats are equally dangerous from both sides.

(Reason: There's no evolutionary advantage to distinguish left from right.) 

(5) We can tell left and right have been inverted in a scene only when we observe man-made objects, such as cars or street signs. 

(Reason: These objects have a designated orientation.)

주요 문장

(1) But that same child may have no difficulty in determining the directions of up and down or back and front. 

(그러나 이 아이는 위아래나 앞뒤 방향을 결정하는 데 어려움이 없을 수 있다.) 

(Subject-Verb-Object 구조) (아이가 위아래와 앞뒤 방향을 이해하는 데 어려움이 없음을 설명) 

(2) A bear is equally dangerous from its left or the right side, but not if it is upside down. 

(곰은 왼쪽이나 오른쪽에서 동일하게 위험하지만, 거꾸로 있는 경우는 그렇지 않다.) 

(Subject-Verb-Object 구조) (자연에서 왼쪽-오른쪽 축이 덜 중요한 이유 설명)
