Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 "채용을 확인합니다"라고 간단히 표현하지만, 영어 공식 서한에서는 "your being employed"처럼 소유격 + 동명사 구문을 사용합니다. "your employment"도 문법적으로 틀리지는 않지만, 고용 확인서에서는 "your being employed by our firm"이 상대방이 고용된 사실을 격식 있게 확인하는 전통적인 표현입니다. 비즈니스 문서에서는 이런 격식체 표현에 익숙해지는 것이 중요합니다.
