Faux pas : embarrassing social mistake
(난처한 실수, 결례)
A : I had a drink with our new neighbor, Mrs. Lee. We talked about all sorts of things, even politics. I said that all politicians were liars and should be put in prison!
(새로운 이웃인 이여사와 술한잔 하면서 여러가지 사항, 심지어 정치적인 이야기까지 했다. 나는 모든 정치인들은 거짓말 장이며 모두 감옥에 처넣어야 한다고 말했지)
B : Oh dear you've made a huge faux pas. Her father has been a Member of Parliament for twenty-five years!
(저런, 당신은 큰 실수를 했군요. 그녀의 아버지는 25년동안 국회위원이었어요)
Have a nice day!
첫댓글 This morning.. We senior staffs had a regulary meeting.. Many staffs talked about their business and problems proposals.. And complaint to the president many things.. I also agree that their opinions.. But boss's son didn't say anything.. Joseph... Did We make a faux pas....??
No. I don't think you've made a faux pas. It is need to draw some constructive dialogue on company problems, proposals and complaints at a conference. Thank you.
