• EVERYDAY HEROES
• AN INTERVIEW WITH WRITER KATRINA FRIED
• Q: What makes an everyday hero?
• 1 A: In this book, "everyday heroes" are not those (people) that (=who) perso
nify (=represent) physical bravery. Though heroes such as firefighters are by n
o means (=never; not at all) less praiseworthy, ( 소방대원들 같은 영웅들이 덜
훌륭한 것은 절대 아니지만 ) I chose to feature ( 특히 강조하다 ) passionate promo
ters of social justice and equality. (DEFINITION)Their work is humanitarian in n
ature ( 본질적으로 ). They are founders or leaders of successful nonprofits (
비영리 기업 =charity organizations=social enterprises)1, representing ( 분사구문
=and they represent) a diverse range of (=various) causes ( 대의명분 / 사회적
이상 ) and people. Nearly all (of them)/ self-identify as social entrepreneurs2.
• Q: Some readers might perceive (=sense; realize) a contradiction in the phras
e "everyday heroes." Is heroism an everyday phenomenon? Can the everyday b
e heroic? What did you mean by the title?
• A: Many people think (that) heroism is a quality (which is) reserved for an exce
ptional few ( 예외적인 극소수의 사람들에게 해당되는 ( 마련된 / 가진 ) 자질 ) , such as
Nobel Peace Prize winners or famous leaders. These are heroes. But these hero
es should be idealized and looked to for guidance ( 이상화되고 지도를 해 줄
것이라고 기대되다 ), like the North Star—a moral compass, not a literal road ma
p ( 문자 그대로 길잡이 역할을 하는 북극성을 의미하는 것이 아니라 도덕적 나침반 ,
도덕적 길잡이 ) 3. The more I read [e] in researching and creating this book—an
d learned, and listened—the more obvious it ( 뒤에 오는 내용 ) became. (the
비교급 , the 비교급 –하면 할수록 더욱 더 – 하다 ) )The heroes of today are anythin
g but (=never; not at all – 가 결코 아니다 ) rare. They are everywhere.
• Q: Do you think that we, as a society, do enough (n. 충분한 일 ) to recog
nize and reward heroism, and thus to encourage it?
• 3 A: Everyday heroes are standing beside you in the elevator and sitting
across from you on the subway; they're your next-door neighbors and y
our college roommates; they're teachers, doctors, lawyers, inventors, and
orphans. There are quiet heroes among us—ordinary men and women w
ho have devoted themselves ( 헌신해 온 / present perfect tense 현재완료
계속 ) to uplifting (gerund) the lives of others. And it is precisely their ord
inariness that makes them extraordinary. (it – that 강조구문 )
• Q: What do you think we learn from reading the stories of these heroes?
• Devote to + v+ing(gerund 동명사 )
• OUT WITH CHARITY, IN WITH PARTNERSHIP. ( 자선에서 벗어나서 동반자
관계로 들어가다 )
• 4 A: Today, there is a shift in the relationship between the giver and the receiv
er. The handout ( 지원금 / 지원물자 ) has been replaced (present perfect tense
현재완료 완료 ) by the handshake. Today's nonprofit reformers (=entrepreneurs)
are interested in creating meaningful equal partnerships to empower (=enabl
e) communities and individuals to raise (=unlift) themselves out of poverty.
• Robert Egger founded DC Central Kitchen, which trains people for jobs, distrib
utes meals, and supports local food systems. Doing these things( 이런 일을 하는
것 gerund) strengthens community and builds long-term solutions to the inter
connected problems of poverty, hunger, poor health, and homelessness. Egger
said, "A great nonprofit doesn't try to solve the problem; it tries to reveal the
power (that; which) we have as a community to solve the problem."
• YOU'RE NEVER TOO YOUNG. ( 나이가 어리다고 못 하는 것은 아니다 .= 어린
나이가 문제되진 않는다 .)
• 6 The growing group of young social entrepreneurs proves that experience i
s not necessary for leadership.
• 7 Rebecca Onie was a sophomore at Harvard when she founded Health Lea
ds, which connects low-income families with the basic resources (that)they n
eed to be healthy.
• 8 Adam Braun founded Pencils of Promise when he was 25 with a modest
( 소소한 ) $25 deposit. It has raised =fundraise 모금하다 ) more than $3 millio
n to build schools in poor developing countries.

• A. You’re never too young to learn. ( 배움에는 나이가 없다 .)

• YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD. ( 나이가 많다고 문제되진 않는다 .)
• 9 Roy Prosterman of Landesa, now in his seventies, is the wor
ld's leading expert on democratic land reform and a fierce ad
vocate (=passionate supporter 열렬한 지지자 ) for the rights o
f the rural poor. Through Landesa, formerly known as the Rur
al Development Institute, he has helped secure (=acquire
확보하다 ) land rights for more than 105 million families in 45
developing countries. Prosterman, who continues to work, say
s, "I'm not tired at all. In fact, it energizes me."
• ENTREPRENEURS ARE BORN, NOT MADE.
• 10 I think that every entrepreneur (whom) I interviewed would (- 할
것이다 ) agree (that) this (ENTREPRENEURS ARE BORN, NOT MAD
E) is true. Most have walked to the beat ( 박자 ) of their own drum4
( 자신의 북장단에 맞춰 걸어왔다 = 자신들이 원하는 방식대로 일을 해왔다 )
since they took their first uncertain (unstable) steps as toddlers and
have never been satisfied( 죽 현재완료 계속 ) in a conventional profess
ional setting. All believe that risking failure ( 실패를 무릅쓰는 것 gerun
d) is fundamental. It takes (demands =needs 필요하다 ) a healthy do
se of ( 적당한 양의 ) confidence, courage, and determination to be res
ponsible for others day in and day out ( 해가 지나 해가 뜨나 ).
• YOU CAN'T RELY ON THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS.
• 11 Because of the growing number of nonprofits, it is harder to
get funding. Today's social entrepreneurs realize that the surest
way to survival is self-sustainability5.
• 12 Chuck Slaughter, founder and CEO of Living Goods, has two d
riving ( 추진 =motivating ) passions: global travel and solving soci
al problems. Living Goods empowers (=enables) entrepreneurs to
deliver life-changing products to the doorsteps of the poor (the
+ adjective=plural nouns). Slaughter's goal is to make Living Goo
ds a completely self-sustaining business that "fights poverty and
disease with profitability."
• GO BIG OR GO HOME. ( 대박 아니면 쪽박 )
• 13 Take a small idea and make it huge. The potential for expone
ntial growth is practically a necessity for the new social entrepren
eurs.
• 14 Jill Vialet of Playworks, which has helped ensure safe recreatio
nal time for 130,000 kids in 300 schools in 23 cities across the U.
S., said she spends a lot of time thinking (gerund) about how Play
works is going to grow enough to change the system. Her ultimat
e vision is that one day every kid in America will have access (nou
n) to ( 접근하다 ) safe, healthy play every day. And she feels (that)
it’s (= safe, healthy play everyday) doable!
• TRUE HEROES NEVER CONSIDER THEMSELVES HEROES.
• 15 If I had a dollar for every time one of these charitable leaders said to me,
"You know, the true heroes are the [blank], not me," I'd (would) be $50 riche
r. ( 가정법 과거 second conditional sentence) They all possess a sense of hu
mility and authenticity that (I've come to realize 삽입문 내가 깨달은 바로는 )
is essential to the achievement of their visions. The basic fact remains: none
of these nonprofits would have succeeded ( 가정법 과거완료 )so well without t
he profound ( 많은 ) sacrifices of their dedicated founders and CEOs.
• 16 Eugene Cho, founder and president of One Day's Wages, found the cour
age to give up one year's wages in the name of service. One Day's Wages h
as raised more than a million dollars and supports many projects around the
world to improve education, deliver clean water, and end poverty.
• 17 A: There were thousands of worthy candidates who deserve
to be recognized and celebrated—how to choose just 50? With
each hero's story there is yet another example of generosity all
around us. There is no contribution too small or insignificant. W
hether you choose to show kindness to a loved one or a neigh
bor, to volunteer, to donate, or to build your own movement—
you are helping to grow a culture of giving.
• 18 Jill Vialet summed it up best, "Believing (gerund) in the idea
that everyone can be an everyday hero ( 주어 )/ is essential to o
ur future as a society. And it's the everyday-ness of it (=herois
m) that's more important than the heroism.“ (it – that 강조구문
