Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ "I was restructured from my company last month."
✅ "I was laid off from my company last month due to restructuring."
한국어에서는 '구조조정 당했다'라고 표현하지만, 영어에서는 사람이 restructured 되는 것이 아닙니다. 회사가 restructure(구조조정)하는 것이고, 사람은 'laid off(해고되다)' 또는 'let go(내보내지다)'라고 표현합니다. "I was laid off due to restructuring"이 자연스러운 표현입니다.
