“Kim”, a high schooler, has had plastic surgery three times and seen a dentist three times a week for the last year. She thinks she is ugly and has bad breath, so people don’t want to be near her. “She showed signs of depression and got obsessed with her appearance after her friends told her so two years ago,” her parents said. She is seeing a psychiatrist to correct her self-image and is getting better. (englishnews@chosun.com )

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어로는 '성형수술을 했다'라고 표현하기 때문에 "did surgery"라고 직역하기 쉽습니다. 하지만 영어에서는 수술을 직접 집도하는 의사가 아닌 이상 "do surgery"라고 하지 않습니다. 환자 입장에서는 반드시 "have surgery" 또는 "get surgery"라고 표현해야 합니다.
