보통 직장인의 지식 생활

I have a friend who is currently working in another country(overseas).The company that he's working for is a Korean company but they have an overseas branch and I think he's running things over there.Anyway, he's back in Korea for about a week so we're going to get together with some other friends sometime this week.We haven't seen him in almost a year so we're all really eager to see him and he..

I'm sort of taking break from watching the news. I try to read up on important issues but lately it just feels like there's nothing but bad news and all it does is make me feel bad.>> 난 뉴스 보는 걸 좀 쉬고 있어. 중요한 이슈에 대해서는 따로 읽으려고 하는데 요즘은 너무 안좋은 뉴스 뿐인 거 같은데 보면 괜히 기분만 안 좋아지더라고. Take a break from ~: ~하는걸 그만뒀어. Read up on: (글을) 읽어보다. It just feels(seems) like~: ~인 것 같다. (의견이 아니라, 내가 가진 인상(느낌)이) There's no..

현재에 대한 가정을 말할때는 would/could를 써야 하고, if절에서는 과거시제를 써야 한다. It would be really great if the weather was always like today.It would be really great if the weather was always as good as today.I really wish the weather was always like today.>> 날씨가 항상 오늘 같았으면 진짜 좋겠다.If only the weather was like today all the time,There would be nothing more that I would like than to have weather like this(today) every d..

Go well어떤 일이나 상황이 순조롭게 진행됐는지: 잘 됐는지, 잘 안 됐는지- How did it go?>> 어떻게 됐어?- Did it go well?>> 잘 됐어?- Yes, it went very well.>> 응, 아주 잘 됐어.- No, it didn't go very well.>> 아니, 잘 안 됐어.*유사표현: work out (well)어떤 문제가 되는 상황이 있었다는 게 강조되며, 그것이 잘 해결됐다는 뉘앙스- It worked out very well>> 일이 아주 잘 풀렸어(해결됐어).Work well어떤 기능이나 작동이 잘 된다. 효과가 좋다.앞에 work out well이랑 헷갈리면 안 된다.- Everything is working very well so far.>> 아직까지..

일정을 미룰 때, postpone, push back 같은 표현을 쓴다는 걸 사람들이 안다.하지만 앞당길때는 어떤 표현을 쓰는지 사람들이 잘 모른다. Move up: 앞당기다We moved up the meeting to Tuesday.>> 우리가 회의를 화요일로 앞당겼어요.The meeting has been moved up to Tuesday.>> 회의가 화요일로 앞당겨졌어요.We got the meeting moved up to Tuesday.>> 회의를 화요일로 앞당겼어요.Get -- p.p 형식으로 사용하는 걸 추천한다.어떤 것을 끝내는, 완성하는 것이 강조된다. 애초에 그럴 의도나 목적, 그러는게 유리한 상황 등이 있었던 것이다.  예문 1>A: 숙제가 이번 주까지가 기한이야? 다음주로 미루어..

각 단어의 의미를 비교하기보다는 어떤 표현에 어울릴지를 봐야 한다. Part 1>A: Hey, can you watch my dog for a little while? I gotta(have to) go back to the office and deal with something. It won't take long.B: Yeah, sure. Whatever you need.A: Are you going to be OK? Have you been with a dog before?B: Dude, it's just a dog. I think I can handle it. Deal with다양한 의미로 쓰인다.Deal with someone: 누군가와 거래를 하다. 문제가 되는 사람을 교류와 의사소통을 통해 해..

I went to a fastfood place earlier today and I got a hamburger. When I unwrapped it, I was certain I had the wrong burger. But when I took it back, they told me it was actually the right one. I mean, false advertising is nothing new and I'm pretty used to it. But this… This was on another level. You'd think that I'd be upset about it as a customer but it was actually really funny. I got a hambur..

Be fooled by ~: ~에 속다.가장 많이 쓰이는 표현이다.I was totally fooled by this image.>> 사진 보고 완전히 속았어.This image totally(really) fooled me.>> 사진 때문에 완전히 속았어.This image really had me fooled.>> 사진이 날 진짜 속였어. (이렇게 사역 형식으로도 많이 쓴다)Trick: 속임수어떤 계획이나 의도를 가지고 특정 개인을 속이는 것에 어울린다. Fool도 똑같다.전반적으로는 fool에 먼저 익숙해 지는 걸 추천한다.나 스스로 오해해서 속는 경우엔 어울리지 않는다.Mislead: 잘못 이끌다좀 더 formal하게 쓰기 좋다.Deceive: 속이다다른 말들과 다르게 의미가 직접적이고 다르게 표..

I haven't seen the new joker movie yet but it sounds like it's really good.It seems like people are having a hard time expressing how much they love it.But something else that I've been quite amazed by is how focused we are in terms of who we credit for this great film - in this case, the actor who plays the main character.I think, as fans, it's important for us to keep in mind how much collecti..
