In this set of materials, both the reading and the lecturer deal with the zebra’s stripes. Regarding this issue, the lecturer argues that the stripe of a zebra is not a tool for a survival of the species. This contradicts the writer’s claim that the stripe of a zebra is a product of evolution.
First, the lecturer asserts that the zebra’s stripe cannot make optical illusion to attackers. This is because usually lions do not leaping at the its prey, so lions will not be confused (줄무늬에 의해 사자들이 혼란스러워 지는것이기 때문에 수동태로 쓰입니다.) by the stripes. They try to chase it rather than to leap at it. This opposes the writer’s claim that the zebra’s stripe can deceive attackers.
Second, the lecturer goes on to say that the writer’s viewpoint on the repeated pattern of black and white. is likely to make attackers hard to attack is disputable. (한 문장에 특별한 접속사나 이음새 없이 동사가 두개가 들어가있습니다. 그리고 같은 내용이 문단 끝에 언급되어 있으니 생략가능합니다.) The lecturer explains that attackers, often lions, will also adapted (조동사 뒤엔 무조건 동사의 원형이 와야합니다.) to the herd of zebra’s stripe. Besides, lions usually hunt for the particular one, not the herd of zebras. This counters the reading passage’s viewpoint that the stripes confuse predators.
Lastly, the lecturer mentions that the writer’s argument regarding the stripes serves as camouflage function is unconvincing. (여기서도 that이라는 접속사 뒤에 동사가 두개나 있습니다. 생략된 부분은 없어도 의미가 달라지지 않기에 지웠습니다.) When we see the a wild zebra in the African savanna, (아프리카에만 있는 얼룩말이라고 하기보단 전체적인 야생 얼룩말이라고 하는게 더 좋을것 같습니다.) they are always exposed to open area rather than in tall trees which where they can hide them. This casts doubt on the writer’s claim that predators cannot see zebra easily because of the stripes. |
