Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.

❌ "I will ride the subway to Shanghai station."
✅ "I will take the subway to Shanghai station."

한국어에서는 지하철을 '타다'라고 해서 영어로 직역하면 "ride"를 쓰기 쉽습니다. 하지만 영어에서는 대중교통을 이용할 때 "take"를 씁니다. "Take the subway", "Take a taxi", "Take the bus"처럼 표현하세요. "Ride"는 자전거나 말처럼 직접 조종하거나 올라타는 것에 주로 씁니다.

❌ "Where can I change the train?"
✅ "Where can I transfer to line three?"

한국어의 '환승하다'를 영어로 옮길 때 "change"를 쓰는 경우가 많습니다. 영국식 영어에서는 가능하지만, 본문처럼 미국식 영어에서는 "transfer to + 노선"이 훨씬 자연스럽습니다. "I need to transfer to line three at Beijing station."처럼 사용하세요.

❌ "How many stations from here?"
✅ "How many stops is it from here?"

한국어에서 '몇 정거장'이라고 할 때 "station"을 떠올리기 쉽지만, 영어에서는 거리를 셀 때 "stops"를 씁니다. 또한 "How many stops?"만으로는 문장이 불완전하므로, 본문처럼 "It's only four stops from here."와 같이 "It's + 숫자 + stops" 패턴을 사용하세요.
