Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ "I got a big benefit from selling my stocks."
✅ "I made a big profit from selling my stocks."
한국어에서는 '이익'이라는 단어를 넓은 의미로 사용하지만, 영어에서는 투자나 사업에서 돈을 벌었을 때 'benefit'이 아니라 'profit' 또는 'return'을 씁니다. 'Benefit'은 건강이나 생활상의 혜택처럼 비금전적 이점을 말할 때 주로 사용합니다. 주식 매매 수익은 반드시 'profit', 'gain', 또는 'return'으로 표현하세요.
