Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ The economy is depressed so many companies went bankrupt.
✅ The economy is in a recession, so many companies have gone bankrupt.
한국어에서는 '경기가 침체되다'를 직역하여 "economy is depressed"라고 하기 쉽지만, 영어에서는 "in a recession" 또는 "in a downturn"이 자연스럽습니다. "Depression"은 1930년대 대공황 수준의 극심한 불황을 뜻하므로 일반적인 경기 침체에는 사용하지 않습니다. 또한 현재완료 시제(have gone)를 사용해야 현재까지 이어지는 결과를 정확히 표현할 수 있습니다.
