Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 '거기에'라고 조사를 붙이기 때문에 영어에서도 "to there"라고 말하는 경우가 많습니다. 하지만 there, here, home 같은 부사에는 전치사 to를 붙이지 않습니다. "Take me to the resort"처럼 명사 앞에는 to가 필요하지만, "Take me there"처럼 부사 앞에서는 to를 빼야 자연스럽습니다.
한국어의 '도착하다'를 직역해서 arrive를 쓰는 경우가 많지만, 택시 안에서 목적지까지의 소요 시간을 물을 때는 "How long will it take to get there?"가 훨씬 자연스럽습니다. 또한 미래 상황을 묻는 것이므로 does보다 will을 사용하는 것이 적절합니다.
한국어로 '차가 많다'라고 표현하기 때문에 many를 쓰기 쉽지만, 영어에서 교통량을 표현할 때는 heavy traffic(교통 체증이 심한) 또는 light traffic(한산한)을 씁니다. Traffic은 셀 수 없는 명사이므로 many가 아니라 heavy/light 같은 형용사로 수식합니다.
