영어회화공부 겸해서 미국사람들 대화 시 피하는 말에 대해 알아보자. (어떤 건 우리나라사람들에게도 해당된다.)
About Someone's Appearance (외모에 대해)
Don't say: "You look tired." (피곤해 보이는군요)
Instead say: "Is everything OK?" (괜찮아요?)
Don't say: "Wow, you've lost a ton of weight!" (살 많이 뺐네!)
Instead say: "You look fantastic." (맵시나네)
Don't say: "You look good for your age." (나이에 비해 좋아 보이네요)
Instead say: "You look great." (좋아 보이는군요)
In the Workplace (직장내에서)
Don't say: "That's not my job." (내 일이 아닌데요)
Instead say: "I'm not sure that should be my priority right now." (지금 무척 바쁜 일이 있는데요...)
Don't say: "I don't have time to talk to you." (지금 얘기할 시간 없어요)
Instead say: "I'm just finishing something up right now. Can I come by when I'm done?" (지금 막 끝내려고 하는 일이 있는데, 나중에 제가 들려도 될까요?)
During a Job Interview (취업 면접 시)
Don't say: "My current boss is horrendous." (지금 상사 끔찍해요)
Instead say: "I'm ready for a new challenge" (난 새 일에 도전할 준비가 됐어요)
Don't say: "Do you think I'd fit in here?" (제가 여기에 잘 맞을까요?)
Instead say: "What do you enjoy about working here?" (여긴서 일하는거 뭐가 즐거운가요?)
Don't say: "What are the hours like?" or "What's the vacation policy?" (시간 때우기가 어때요?, 휴가는 얼마나 있나요?)
Instead say: "What's the day-to-day like here?" "Can you tell me about the compensation and benefits package?" (매일의 일과는 어떤가요? 보수와 직원혜택에 대해 말해 주시겠습니까?)
To a Single (or Newly Single) Person (혼자인/혼자된 사람과)
Don't say: "You were too good for him." (네가 아까왔다)
Instead say: "His loss!" ((그놈)널 잃어버렸구나)
Don't say: "I'm glad you got rid of him. I never liked him anyway." ((그놈) 떨쳐서 다행이다. 난 (그놈) 싫어했어)
Instead say: "I'm confident you'll find someone who will give you exactly what you want." (네게 꼭 맏는 사람 찾을거라고 믿어)
Don't say: "How could someone as perfect as you still be single?" (너처럼 완벽한 사람이 혼자라니 믿을 수 없어)
Instead say: "Seeing anyone?" (누구 만나는 사람 있냐?)
During a Fight with Your Beloved (연인과 싸울 때)
Don't say: "You always" or "You never" or "You're a [slob, jerk]" or "You're wrong." (넌 언제나 ..., 넌 결코 ..., 이 거지같은 놈(년), 넌 틀렸어 ..., )
Instead say: "I'm upset that you left the dishes in the sink again. What can we do so that this stops happening?"(난 네가 싱크에 접시를 나두는 것에 화났어. 어떻게 해야 다시는 이러지 않겠냐?)
Starting with the pronoun I puts the focus on how you feel, not why he's in the doghouse, and it will make him more receptive to fixing the problem.
('나' 라는 주어로 말을 시작해, 내 감정이 어떤지 말하는데 촛점을 둔다)
Don't say: "If you really loved me, you would..." (날 정말 사랑하면 ..., )
Instead say: "I feel taken for granted when you don't help around the house. I would feel better if we could..." (난 존중받고 있지 않다고 느껴져, ...)
The best way to keep a productive fight from becoming a dirty one is to be clear about why you're upset and then offer a solution.(왜 화났는지 명확히 하고 해결 방안을 제시한다)
