Victorian swells – 영국 빅토리아시대의 귀족들  

이제 동사파생 명사를 마쳤고 오늘은 형용사에서 파생된 명사를 살펴볼까요? inaccuracy, particularity, convenience는 형용사 inaccurate, particular, convenient에서 파생된 명사로서 원 의미는 부정확성, 특이성, 편의성이지만 여기서는 복수로 쓰여 inaccurate한 것들, particular한 것들, convenient한 것들을 표현하게 됩니다.

(1)에서 inaccuracies는 “부정확한 점들”. inaccurate points라고 안하고 명사로 간결하게 처리하는 것이죠. (2)에서 particularities는 특이점들, 차 전문가에 대한 말인데요, 좋은 차주전자를 만들기 위해 찰흙을 직접 만드는데 이것이 상당히 특이하다네요. (3)은 영국 빅토리아시대에 매료된 어느 미술가 부부가 그시대 사람처럼 현대의 편의시설들 없이 살았답니다.

이와 같은 연상명사들은 많이 있어요: 

a. There are uncertainties that loom over commodities prices.

b. After that task is complete, what would be my next priorities?

c. Please do report any inconveniences or issues you run into.  

d. The teens, agitated by their restriction, were randomly leaving their living quarters and vehemently hurling obscenities and spitting at staff.

e. [Fixing Poor Photos] Repeat steps 3-4 as much as need to complete the repair and to remove the imperfections.  

f. Some water filters use activated carbon to filter out impurities.  

(a)에서 uncertainties는 “불확실한 요인들”. (b) my next priorities는 “나의 다음 우선사항들”입니다. (c) inconveniences는 “불편사항”, (d) hurling obscenities는 “외설적인 욕을 내뱉으며”, (e) imperfections는 사진을 고칠 때의 “불완전한 부분들”, (f) impurities는 “불순물”입니다.

올려주신 답을 볼께요. (2) “특이점들”을 eccentricities라고 해주셨네요. particular와 매우 유사하지만 eccentric은 “기이한”, “별난”, “이상한”, “비정상적인”, 등 부정적인 의미를 내포합니다. 그래서 eccentricity는 별나고 이상한 행동을 의미하죠. 그 차이점을 다음의 예문에서 확인해 보세요:

g. This elaboration on the historical Jesus is a consideration of the kind of person Jesus was: His particularities, his ministry, praxis; spirituality and what might have led to his violent death.  

h. The camera zeroes in on the lavish particularities of his life: the multiple girlfriends, the expensive art, the strained family ties, and the butlers, one of whom quite literally dresses Getty from underwear to suit and brushes his teeth for him.  

i. Through Breuning we obtain rare insights into homely details of Beethoven's eccentricities at home and on the street: how he would "spit on the mirror, instead of out the window, without noticing the difference"; his impulse to retaliate when he was taunted by street urchins; how he would strip to his underclothing when walking through Vienna woods ...   

j. Throughout his adult life, Jackson was well known for his eccentricities; he was something of a hypochondriac, and modern physicians and psychologists continue to speculate about possible diagnoses for his symptoms and behaviors.

Contemporaries reported that he sometimes fell asleep during meals, even while chewing and stories persist that he ate lemons whole to aid digestive issues.  

k. The BBC’s excellent economics editor, Robert Peston, has revealed that, early in his TV career, he was sent on several broadcasting courses in an attempt to correct “eccentricities” of speech that had irritated columnists and commenters.
