I’m light.
No hard feelings.
간단할수록 어려운 네이티브의 한마디!
이런 영어 알고 있나요?

I’m light. No sugar.
여러분은 이 문장의 뜻을 아시나요?
힌트는 ‘커피를 마시는 방법’입니다. 잘 알고 있는 쉬운 단어도 다른 단어와 조합이 되면 손을 들고 마는 경우가 많습니다. 그런 문장이 영어에는 산더미처럼 쌓여 있지요. 하지만 네이티브는 즐겨 사용하고 있습니다. 짧게 핵심만 말하는 편이 이야기를 하는 데 있어 주효하기 때문입니다.

여러분은 이 문장의 뜻을 아시나요?
힌트는 ‘커피를 마시는 방법’입니다. 잘 알고 있는 쉬운 단어도 다른 단어와 조합이 되면 손을 들고 마는 경우가 많습니다. 그런 문장이 영어에는 산더미처럼 쌓여 있지요. 하지만 네이티브는 즐겨 사용하고 있습니다. 짧게 핵심만 말하는 편이 이야기를 하는 데 있어 주효하기 때문입니다.
영어에는 이런 문장이 산처럼 쌓여 있습니다. 당연히 네이티브들의 일상회화에서도 빗발치듯 내뱉는 말입니다. 어려운 단어나 표현을 익히는 것도 중요하지만 그 전에 이런 간단하지만 쉽게 말하지 못하는 문장의 뜻을 알아두는 것 또한 아주 중요합니다.
이 책은 300개의 문장(미국식 표현)을 엄선하여 가벼운 느낌으로 즐기면서 배울 수 있게 하였습니다. 이들 문장은 네이티브가 일상에서 자주 사용하는 것으로 비영어권 학습자로서는 그 뜻조차 추측하기 어려운 것들입니다.
이 책이 page tuner가 되어 여러분의 영어 실력 향상에 조금이라도 도움이 되기를 바랍니다.
