A Good Lesson

Acts 7:30, 32, 34

Does time seem to pass slower /when you’re at school?

You’re watching the clock, waiting for recess or the end of the school day, and the hands don’t seem to be moving at all.

It can be hard [to pay attention in school /when you’re focused /on getting out of class /as quickly as possible.

But remember: this is your learning time. Fill it up /with everything you can possibly learn.

Then you will be ready for whatever God calls you to do.

Jesus was thirty years old /before he started his ministry.

Before that, he was learning.

Before Moses led God’s people out of Egypt, he spent forty years /in the desert herding sheep—and learning.

Your days may seem hard. Or maybe school seems long and boring.

But don’t be fooled—these are important times of learning.

God has a plan for you, and you want to be ready.

Learn everything () you can /in school /so that you will be prepared /to work in God’s kingdom.

Dear Lord, Help me to use well this time /while I’m growing up. Help me to get ready for whatever you ask me to do. Amen.

동명사와 현분사

현분사는 동작동사/정형동사로 진행형을 만들기도 하고 형용사적으로 쓰여 명사를 수식한다

명사 수식의 경우는 선행명사의 능동동작으로 분사 바로 앞의 명사일 수도 있고 주어일 수도 있다

You’re watching the clock, waiting for recess. 쉬는 시간을 기다림과 동시에 (기다리며) 시계를 지켜보는 중이다

watching 은 진행형 동사고 waiting 은 주어 수식 형용사 역할한다

주어수식 형용사 역할이라 함은 주어의 준동작 상태/부대상황 설명역할이라는 의미다

You’re watching the clock,

You’re waiting for recess.

Before Moses led God’s people out of Egypt, he spent forty years /in the desert herding sheep—and learning.

그가 40년을 보냄과 동시에 양을치고 배우기도 했다

he spent forty years /in the desert 

he was herding sheep and learning.

분사가 주어수식 형용사 역할이라는 것을 주어 설명인 보어로 쓰인 분사가 잘 증명한다

Your days may seem hard. Or maybe school seems long and boring.

school seems long and boring. 분사가 형용사로 쓰였기에 형용사인 long 와 동격으로 연결된다
school seems  boring. => school is boring. = boring school 보어는 주어수식이니 분사역시도 주어를 수식할 수 있다

This is boring school. 형역분사 boring

비교

this is your learning time.

이 경우는 time is learning 할 수 없으므로 learning time 복합명사인 경우의 동명사가 된다 ; 배움의 시간
