Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ "Our company needs to do zero-base this year's budget."
✅ "Our company needs to zero in on this year's budget."
한국어에서 '제로베이스'는 '처음부터 다시'라는 뜻으로 널리 쓰이지만, 영어에서는 'zero-base'를 동사로 그대로 쓰지 않습니다. 예산을 면밀히 검토한다는 의미라면 'zero in on'이라는 idiom을 사용하고, 처음부터 다시 시작한다는 의미라면 'start from scratch'가 자연스럽습니다. 콩글리시 표현을 영어 idiom과 혼동하지 않도록 주의하세요.
