2.^^ 안녕하세요.

오랜만에 들렀습니다.
뜸했던 사이 홈페이지 분위기가 또 한번 바뀌었네요.
게시판을 쭉 둘러 봤습니다. 무수하게 올라 온 질문들을 보며, 시간은 참으로 정직하고 또 잔인한 것이구나 다시 한번 절실하게 느꼈습니다. 한살 한살 먹어가니까 그동안 무관심했던 것에, 미처 생각하지 못했던 것들을 통해 배우는 것이 많아집니다.
흠...오늘은 문제에 대한 질문이 아니라 해석에 관한 질문입니다.
하루 몇 개씩 해석을 하다가 줄곧 느끼는 것이 있습니다, 대개 지문을 보면 to 부정사와 분사, 그리고 각종 전치사들이 자주 등장하잖아요? 동사를 잡아 놓고 봐도 이 정신없게 만드는 녀석들 때문에 문장이 길어지면 해석을 해 놓고도 도대체 무슨 말인지, 내가 지금까지 뭘 해석한건지 의미파악이 안 될 때가 왕왕 있습니다.(시간을 충분히 갖고 하면 또 잘 되거든요. 시간 영향도 있는 것 같고...ㅠㅠ) 이렇게 헤멜 때 보면 여지 없이 이 녀석들 때문이더군요. 선생님께서 한창 공부하실 때 이런 문제가 있으면 어떻게 해결하셨나요? 그냥 많이 하다보면 시간이 해결해 주는 걸까요? 선생님께서 한 말씀 해주신다면 그걸 믿고 그대로 따르겠습니다. 부탁드립니다.

선생님 메리크리스마스~

한해를 마무리 짓는 시점에 전세계인과 함께 즐기는
성탄절이 다가왔네요^^
올해는 포근한 성탄절이라는 소식에 '다행' 이라는 생각을
하던 제모습을 보며 아직은 축제를 즐기기엔 거리가 있는것
같네요^^
오늘 내일동안 영어공부를 해서 남들보다 뒤쳐진 영어실력을 최대한 끌어올려봐야겠네요~ㅎㅎ
그럼 성탄절 잘보내세요~
메리 크리스마스~

ENARO : 아팠던 추억은 저 켠 산자락에 묻어 두고, 정해년 새해에는 소망하는 모든 일이 이루어지기를 앙망합니다.^^

질문이여~

Make sure that you turn off the lights when you go out of the
room.

이 문장은 몇 형식인가요?
that 은 동격의 that (명사절) 인가요?

그리고 make 앞에 주어 you가 생략 된건가요??
생략된거면 이유는 뭔가요? 명령문이라서 인가요??

요즘 형식공부하고 있는데,, 선생님의 답변이 많은
도움이 되여~ 뻥 뚤리는 시원함~^^;
답변 감사해요~

ENARO : 3형식입니다. that절은 목적절입니다. You가 생략된 명령문입니다. 토요일까지 열심히 가르치면 토,일요일엔 맑은 날씨를 주소서.^^ 2006-11-26 23:53:25
당근 : 그럼 sure(형용사) 은 무슨 역할을 하는 건가요?? 2006-11-27 09:53:07
ENARO : make sure를 한 단어처럼 보아야겠네요.^^

또 질문염..ㅜㅜ;

Johnson's Live's of the poets are a work of great interest.

"Johnson's Live's of the poets are가 The poets is로 바껴야한

다" 라고 해설되어 있는데요 The poets도 복수형이 아닌지요

are로 받아야 하는거 같은데..잘모르겠습니다.. 답변부탁드려요



Because we are too ------- on oil for energy, we need to find alternative sources of energy

1.reliant 2.leaning 3.dependent 4.prone

답은 3번인데여 1번도 2번도 전치사 on하고 같이 쓰여서 의존하다 기대다라는 뜻이 있던데.. 왜 1.2번은 답이 안되는지..궁금합니다


New Jersey and Delaware are separated by Selaware Bay,-------- connects with the Delaware River ad thus enables oceangoing vessels to reach the ports of Wilmington,Del., and Philadelphia.

1.which deep channel
2.deep channel of it
3.that is a deep channel
4.whose deep channel

답이 4번인데요 왜 1번은 안되나요??

목적격관계대명사와 소유격관계대명사가 항상 햇갈립니다
형태상으로는 뒤에 S+V로 똑같고 해석상으로도 잘 구별을 못하겠습니다.. 명쾌한 구별방법이 없을까요???


ENARO : 1.Johnson's Live's가 주어인데, 하나의 작품 이름이므로 단수취급을 해야겠지요. 2.문제가 잘못된 것 같은데요. 답이 2개입니다. 1번과 3번. 하지만 2번은 형용사가 아닌 명사로서 기울기, 경향이란 뜻입니다. 만약 의지하다란 듯으로 사용하려면 lean on으로 사용해야 합니다. 2005-10-20 15:56:25
ENARO : 소유격 관계대명사와 목적격 관계대명사는 뒤에 명사가 오는 점은 같지만, 소유격관계대명사는 앞에도 명사가 와서 앞명사의 뒷명사라는 의미로 해석해서 맞으면 들어가는 겁니다. 위 문제에서는 'Selaware bay의 깊은 해협'이란 의미로 들어가네요. 소유격을 사용해야겠네요.^^ 요즘 머리가 너무 복잡하여 답변 늦어 죄.. 2005-10-20 15:59:46
봉곤 : 아니예염.. 항상 감사한걸요.. 무슨일인지 모르지만 빨리 해결되길바랄께염..^^ 23일 시헙쳤습니다.. 선생님께 배운 덕분으로 영어는 그렇게 어렵게 느껴지지 않았는데 다른과목은 어떨지 모르겠네요.. 공부하다 모르는것 있음 또 질문드릴께염.. 그럼 안녕히 계세요~^^

그냥 주저리주저리..

공부하고 잠깐 이렇게 자기전에 홈페이지에 들어와서
글 남깁니다.. 영어 공부를 하다보니 제일 힘든(?)부분이
단어 외웠는데 생각않날때...-_-.......
분명히 안면이 있는 단어인데 기억않나면 제 머리를
구박하고는 합니다;;
요즘같아서는 컴퓨터에 꽂는 USB 를 제 머리에 꽂아서
단어들 왕창 전송시키고 싶은 생각도 듭니다..;;;;;;;
그리고 신기한게 도서관에서 점심먹고 졸리면 한 20분정도
엎드려서 자는데요..자기전에 영어단어외우고 자면
제가 영어단어외울때 혼자서 중얼중얼 거리면서 외우는
편이라 엎드려 자면 귀에서 제가 중얼중얼 거린 영어단어들이
막 들립니다;;;;자다가도 내가 자고 있는건지 깨어있는건지
착각해서 일어난적도 몇번있고요;;;;참 신기한현상들이
생깁니다;;
제가 공부 공무원 공부 시작한지 이제 약 8개월 정도
접어드는데요..제가 처음에 시작할때 워낙 문법의 문자도
모르는데 시작한지라 따라가기 힘들었는데 8개월동안
선생님 수업 거의 다 들으면서 반복적으로 듣다보니
많이 알겠더라구요. 선생님께서 뭘 말씀하실지 예상도하고ㅋ
하여튼 영어 문법의 기초도 되어 있지 않았는데
선생님 수업듣고 많이 실력이 향상됐습니다.^^
아직 많이 부족하지만 열심히해서 합격하겠습니다~

아!!그리고 저는 아실런지 모르겠지만 저번에 화장실에서
선생님께 야간수업 들어야할지 말아야할지 여쭈어본
학생입니다.^^ 그때 혼자 공부해보라고 말씀하셔서
야간교재 책보면서 하고있긴한데 공부할내용들이
참 많더군요;;;;
그래도 무조건 열심히 해야죠!! 열심히 하다보면
언젠가는 합격이 보이지 않을까 싶습니다.^^


ENARO : 우리 어머님 동네 사는 학생이군요.^^ 열심히 해서 동네를 빛내시길...^^^^^^ 강의가 도움이 되었다니 기분이 좋네요. 아마 이런 맛에 제가 앞에 서 있는 걸 겁니다. 2007-03-10 13:23:32
최문식 : 저뿐만 아니라 다른 학생들도 저와 같은 생각일겁니다^^ 2007-03-11 09:13:27
^^ : 저역시도 많은게 부족하지만, 지금까지 만나뵌 선생님들중 최고임에는 부정할수 없을듯 합니다. ^^ 짱!! ^^ 2007-03-11 21:21:56
오태진 : 저도 동감!! 대입재수반에 다니는 아는동생도 똑같이 말하던데요!! 샘 대단하시다고~ㅎㅎ

 

 

7.답변

1번)이 문제는 '업무처리를 잘 하는 직원들에게'라는 의미가 되어야 하므로 앞에 to가 붙어 2형식 문장이 되어야겠네요. 만약 to가 없으면 원래의 문장에서 간접목적어가 너무 길어지므로, 3형식으로 써야 적절할 것 같습니다.즉, They give staff who perform well extra payments.보다는 They(회사 경영진들) give extra payments to staff who perform well.의 문장이 자연스럽습니다. 이 문장을 수동태로 바꾸어 Extra payments are given to staff who perform well.이 되었네요.

2번)4형식의 수동태에서 영국식 영어에서는 to를 생략하기도 하므로 그렇게 보아도 되겠습니다.

영어 초급문법 질문이요

1. I gave the plan up. (o)- I gave up the plan아닌가요?


2. I came home last night safely.(x) 제대로 바꾸면


I came home safe last night. 이건가요?


3.There is strange (something, light).

답은 light 인데 왜 그렇죠?


경찰 시험 준비하는 초보학생인데요 ㅡ.ㅡ;

답변해주시면 감사하겠습니다






ENARO : 1.두 문장 다 맞습니다. up이 부사이므로, 명사는 동사다음이든 부사다음이든 다 가능합니다. 하지만 대명사는 항상 동사와 부사사이에만 위치합니다. I gave it up.(O) , I gave up it.(X) 2.예 3.something은 형용사가 뒤에 와야 합니다. 도움이 되었길 바랍니다. 2006-11-01 17:37:51
Master : 감사합니다^^ 의문나면 또 질문 드리겠습니다

첨 글 남기겠습니다.

선생님 영어강의 열혈수강생 중 한 명입니다.
예전부터 사이트는 알고있었는데
오늘 프린터 보다 궁금해져버린게 있어서요...
여기다 질문하는거 맞죠^^;

오늘 아침에 프린터 문제 나눠준것 중 하나인데요.
이해가 안된다거나 그런게 아니라 말 그대로 그냥 궁금해져버린겁니다.

28번 문제답이
Compared with his teacher, she is easy to talk to.
이잖아요.
저도 가뿐하게 맞춘건데^^(하하)
다시 보면서 궁금해진게
뒤에 주절 she~~~에 easy가 있는거 보고
"어//easy는 사람이 주어가 안되는거잖아//"
라고 생각했다가 다시 보니깐
뒤에 to부정사의 목적어가 앞으로 나온거 였습니다.
그러면서 생긴 궁금증이
she 이하를 고치면
it is easy to talk to her.
가 되는데
이 고친 문장을 위의 전체 문장에 넣어도 문장이 올바르게 성립하는지가 궁금해졌습니다.
그러니깐
Compared with his teacher, it is easy to talk to her.
가 올바른 문장인지 궁금합니다.
개인적으로는 틀린 것 같습니다만....
(약 70%는 틀릴거라는 생각이 드는데 명확한 답이 궁금해서요^^;)
그리고 it is easy (for+목적어) to talk to her 라고 완전히 풀어 쓴 다면
그 중 생략된 'for+목적어'에서 이 목적어는 무엇을 받는지도 궁급합니다.


ENARO : 그러면 틀린 문장이 되지요. 왜냐하면 분사구문의 주어가 달라지니까, 독립분사구문(주어가 다른 구문)이 되어야 하는데, 그렇게 만들면 문장전체가 이상해지니까, she를 주어로 내세운 겁니다. 주어를 일치시키기 위해서지요.^^ 2005-11-01 22:36:32
ENARO : 두번째 질문의 답은 일반인(we, they)이 되어도 되겠고, I가 되어도 되겠네요.(for us, them, me) Did you get a picture?(감 잡았나요?) 그럼, 더욱 열심히 하시길...^^ 2005-11-01 22:36:47
taijini0.. : 하하하///역시나 였네요^^!!!감사합니다!!

문3.
For years, the Republic of South Africa was a nation in
trouble. Located at the southern tip of the continent,
South Africa is the most industrialized country in Africa.
It has large deposits of gold and diamonds, a good
climate, and great natural beauty. But it has also been
the scene of terrible racial violence. This violence was a
result of the official government policy of racial _______
called apartheid, the African word for "apartness."
① segregation ② suggestion
③ selection ④ struggle

문4.
Do you ever go to the rest room to rest? Or to the
powder room to powder? And just how often do you
take a bath when you make a trip to the bathroom? Did
you know that in many parts of the southern United
States people don't die? No, they pass away. Some even
go to their reward. In other parts of the country, people
just buy the farm or experience the end of the ball game.
Shakespeare never said "die," his characters shuffled off
this mortal coil. People who would be mortally ashamed
to discuss being naked feel free to discuss their birthday
suit, or being in the altogether. Aware of it or not, we
all use _______.
① idioms ② euphemisms
③ formulaic expressions ④ dialects
문5.
Statistics show that people travel more safely in
airplanes than in cars. For that reason, it seems foolish to
be afraid of flying and not be concerned about safety in
a car. The figures are clear-planes are safer than cars, per
passenger mile. But statistics do not tell the whole story.
Automobile accidents usually involve only a few people
per occurrence and kill or injure only some of the
victims. They involve situations which drivers believe
they can avoid through skill or caution. _______, airplane
accidents usually involve large numbers of people and
high death rates. one hundred percent is not uncommon.
Surviving an airplane accident requires luck, not skill or
caution, and passengers are totally dependent upon their
crew.
① For example ② on the other hand
③ As a matter of fact ④ In addition
문6.
Images of her childhood came back to her: her
authoritarian mother, who favored her brothers and
always made her feel guilty, and her father, a broken
man who was afraid of his wife and agreed with her
whenever possible, giving in to her every whim. These
painful recollections gave way to a feeling of injustice
toward her husband. She had reproached him about
everything that reminded her of her father, and it was
her constant reproaches that had inhibited him, broken
him and little by little made him like her father. The
cycle had thus begun all over again. Without even
realizing it, she had re-created the thing she hated most,
_______.
① the recollections of her childhood
② her husband who is too selfish to love others
③ the relationship between her father and mother
④ the sympathy for her parents' unhappy marriage life

문7.
Hope is an essential element in everyday life. Without
hope, we live in perpetual despair and frustration. "If it
were not for hope, the heart would break," and "Hope is
the poor man's bread" are two sayings containing deep
truths. Alexander Pope again, that great poetic source of
common proverbs, wrote in his Essay of Man; "Hope
springs eternal in the human breast." We often use this
line in a humorous way when we have been waiting a
long time to be served in a shop, or to win a prize in a
lottery. Hope is a very strong and tenacious emotion, so
much so that it stays with us to the very end of our
lives: "_______"
① Art is long, life is short.
② Child is father of the man.
③ A drowning man will catch at a straw.
④ Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.
문8. 다음 글의 필자가 주장하는 내용과 일치하지 않는 것은?
Let me repeat, however, the caveat which I put
forward in my first lecture, that no historical judgements
are absolute and that any historical interpretation depends
in part on the values held by the historian, which will in
turn reflect the values held by the age and society in
which he lives. It is therefore incumbent on the historian,
whether explicitly or by implication, to make clear the
values on which his interpretation rests, and this I shall
attempt to do. But first let me contest an obvious
criticism. Does not the admission that the values held by
the historian necessarily enter into the history that he
writes deprive history of any objective character? Now it
seems to me foolish and misleading to deny the
subjective element in history.
*caveat 경고, 통고, 주의사항
① 역사에 있어서 주관적인 요소의 개입이란 있을 수 없다.
② 역사가는 역사를 통해 자기가 사는 시대의 가치를 반영한

문9. 다음 글에서 언급되지 않은 것은?
Psychologists agree that most of us have creative ability
that is greater than what we use in daily life. In other
words, we can be more creative than we realize! The
problem is that we use mainly one hemisphere of our
brain―the left. Form childhood, in school, we're taught
reading, writing, and mathematics; we are exposed to
very little music or art. Therefore, many of us might not
exercise our right hemisphere much. Then can we be
taught to use our right hemisphere more? Many experts
believe so.

① Many of us don't exercise our right hemisphere.
② Different parts of the brain control different activities.
③ Most people probably don't use all their creative ability.
④ Small pieces of memory are kept in different parts of
the brain.
문10. 다음 글에 바로 이어질 문장으로 가장 적절한 것은?
Chris Bencze, a ten-year-old from Auburn, Washington,
saved his eight-year-old brother's life. Chris and Alex
were home alone one Friday evening when Alex began to
choke on an orange. Chris got behind his brother and
squeezed his chest―using the Heimlich maneuver―until
the fruit came out. Where did Chris learn the technique?
From watching a recent episode of the cartoon show,
"The Simpsons". The publicist for Fox Television, producer
of the show, had heard of one other instance in which a
choking victim had been helped, based on learning the
maneuver from that episode.
① We can learn a lot by watching others, whether live or
on TV.
② Each sphere of life has its heroes.
③ The visual mass media, like TV, movies, video tapes,
magazines, and newspapers, represents the mode of
modeling.
④ TV and movies are basic features of our lives.
문11. 다음 글에 이어질 내용으로 가장 적절한 것은?
One of the most controversial and painful issues of our
time is that of euthanasia―helping or allowing someone
to die by either active or passive methods. As our society
ages, and medical science is able to keep people alive
who would have died "naturally" in the past, most of us
will be confronted with this decision at some point in
our lives. As with all important topics, perhaps more so,
we must carefully consider the different perspectives and
examine the arguments on all sides of the subject of
euthanasia before we can form a good opinion.
① 안락사 대상의 다양한 특징
② 안락사의 공론화에 대한 주장
③ 안락사에 대한 여러 가지 견해
④ 안락사 결정에 영향을 미치는 요인
문12. 다음 글의 주제로 가장 적절한 것은?
Every Sunday one can peruse the wedding ads in the
classified. Many people still arrange an alliance in the
traditional manner―through family and friend
connections. Caste is becoming less important a factor in
the selection of a spouse. Replacing caste are income and
type of job. The educational level of the bride-to-be is
also a consideration, an asset always worth mentioning in
the ad. A faculty member at a college for girls has
estimated that 80 to 90 percent of the students there will
enter an arranged marriage upon receiving the B.A. In
this way, educating a daughter is parental investment
toward securing an attractive, prosperous groom.
① factors in arranging a marriage
② norms of "bride price" to the man's family
③ marriage prestige within the community
④ cultural differences in marriage
문13. 다음 글에 이어질 문장으로 전체 흐름상 적절하지 않은
문장은?

The root of the trouble springs from too much
emphasis upon competitive success as the main source of
happiness. I do not deny that the feeling of success
makes it easier to enjoy life.
① A painter, let us say, who has been obscure throughout
his youth, is likely to become happier if his talent wins
recognition.
② Nor do I deny that money, up to a certain point, is
very capable of increasing happiness; beyond that point,
I do not think it does so.
③ The people I admire most are those who are sensitive
and want to create something or discover something,
and get more of a chance under a democracy than
elsewhere.
④ What I do maintain is that success can only be one
ingredient in happiness, and is too dearly purchased if
all the other ingredients have been sacrificed to obtain
it.

문14. 글의 흐름으로 보아 다음 문장이 들어가기에 가장 알맞
은 곳은?
In the initial stage, however, the system will likely cause
more problems than it solves.
With the introduction of the work permit system for
foreigners on Tuesday, Korea opened the way for legal
importation and employment of foreign laborers. It calls
for the government to introduce migrant workers and
allocate them to local businesses that have failed to
employ Koreans. ( ① ) The new system is supposed to
provide equal treatment for foreign workers to their local
counterparts, including basic labor rights and legal
minimum wages, while guaranteeing stable supply of
manpower for Korean employers. ( ② ) First of all, there
are still too many illegal aliens for the new system to
take root. ( ③ ) Currently, there are 420,000 foreign
workers in the nation, including 166,000 unlawful
sojourners, and the number is expected to top 500,000 by
the end of this year, about 100,000 more than Korea can
absorb. ( ④ ) The government needs to deal more sternly
with lawbreakers, both foreigners and their Korean
employers.
문15. 다음 글의 내용과 가장 어울리지 않는 것은?
The Food and Drug Adminstration cautions consumers
affected by Tropical Storm Bonnie and Hurricane Charley
to protect their health and food supply while dealing
with the aftermath of the storm. There are actions that
can be taken to help maintain personal health and safety
during power outages and flooding following a hurricane.
① Perishable food such as meat, poultry, seafood, milk
and eggs that are not properly refrigerated or frozen
may cause illness if consumed, even if it is thoroughly
cooked.
② For infants, if possible, use prepared canned baby
formula that requires no added water. When using
concentrated or powdered formulas, prepare with
bottled water if the local water source is potentially
contaminated.
③ While parents worry about picking up the pieces, the
children whose lives were upturned by Charley are
dealing with another problem, boredom. Many schools
are closed because of damage. And with electricity still
out, youngsters are being deprived of their normal
creature comforts: television, video games and
computers.
④ Discard wooden cutting boards, plastic utensils, baby
bottle nipples and pacifiers. There is no way to safely
clean them if they have come in contact with

contaminated flood waters.

About three decades ago, pensions were so attractive in
many cases that workers were retiring earlier and earlier,
and labor force participation rates for men in their 50s
and 60s were declining. one director at General Motors
told a reporter: "There used to be a stigma to going out.
He was over the hill. But now it's a looked-for status.
Those retirement parties, they used to be sad affairs.
They are happy affairs now."

② a feeling of shame or dishonor
③ a hard fight or determined effort

There was a student who was always pulling
someone's leg. For example, one day before class, he put
a long homework assignment on the board and made us
think that the teacher had given it. We all had long faces
until the teacher came in. Then we realized that someone
had played a joke on us.

M : Hi, Oliver. I see you're on your way home, too.
W : Exactly. But it'll be another twenty-five minutes before
the next bus.
M : Then we've got a little time to kill. Let me treat you
to a chocolate parfait or something.
W : Oh, that would be much too fattening and we don't
have all that much time anyway!
M : Shall we settle for a cup of coffee or tea, then?
W : Fine! But don't forget, it's my turn to treat.
M : _______.
① OK, have it your way. This time it's on you.
② Please do. I'm looking forward to another chat.

④ Please accept my apology. I'm afraid I'm getting old.

③ You're telling me! Me, too.
④ Oh! don't take offence any more.


ENARO : 배웠던 단어나 표현들이 제법 보이네요. 참고로 euphemism은 완곡어법이란 말인데, die라는 죽음의 냄새를 풍기는 단어보다는 pass away를 사용하는 게 대표적인 완곡어법이라고 할 수 있겠지요. 그리고 stigma(오명, 오점), pull(draw) someone's leg(놀리다, 속이다). 뜻을 몰랐어도 내용을 보아 다 해결가능했겠지요... 2005-11-28 14:36:41
