Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ I want to get a job at a big company.
✅ I want to find / land a job at a big company.
한국어로 '취직하다'를 직역하면 "get a job"이라고만 쓰기 쉽지만, 영어에서는 상황에 따라 "find a job" (구직 과정 강조), "land a job" (성공적으로 취직) 등 다양한 표현을 구분해서 씁니다. 특히 이력서나 면접에서는 "land a position"처럼 좀 더 격식 있는 표현을 사용하는 것이 자연스럽습니다.
❌ I submitted my resume in that company.
✅ I submitted my resume to that company.
한국어 '~에 지원하다'의 '에'를 "in"으로 직역하는 실수가 매우 흔합니다. 영어에서 서류를 제출할 때는 반드시 "submit (something) to (someone/somewhere)"로 전치사 "to"를 사용해야 합니다. 마찬가지로 "apply to a company" 또는 "apply for a position"으로 구분해서 쓰는 것도 기억하세요.
