Conversation Practice
THE BOSS HAS BEEN HOUNDING ME FOR DAYS ON IT A: Say. Mr. Park, what do you say if we set aside all these work for the moment and slip out for a bite to eat.
B: You read my mind. I feel half starved myself. The only problem is we have to pull this together by the end of the day, you know.
A: Don't worry. How can I forget? The boss has been hounding me for days on it. She told me to have it on her desk by 5 today or to start looking for alternative employment.
B: Wow! She really tore into you. Are you sure you can spare the time for a lunch out?
A: No problem. We'll finish the project by closing time.
B: We could kill two birds with one stone if we ordered in, Plus, I know a good Chinese place that delivers. What do you say to that?
A: Actually, that's a marvelous idea. That way, we should be able to eat and finish up the project with time to spare.
B: Alright, then. What do you want?
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 '배달 음식을 시키다'라고 직역하여 "order delivery food"이라고 말하기 쉽지만, 영어에서는 "order in"이라는 표현을 자연스럽게 사용합니다. 본문에서도 "if we ordered in"이라고 표현한 것처럼, 밖에 나가지 않고 음식을 시켜 먹는다는 의미를 간결하게 전달할 수 있습니다. "Order delivery food"은 문법적으로 틀리진 않지만 원어민에게는 어색하게 들립니다.
