이번 주에는
오랜만에 김성곤 교수의 글을 가지고
영어훈련하겠습니다.
내용은 "한국인의 분노 조절 장애"를 치료할 필요가 있다는 것인데요,
왜 그런 주장을 하는지 글쓴이의 논리를 감상해 보시죠.
그리고, 김성곤 교수의 글 속에는
한국인 사고 방식대로 쓴 영작이 있고,
연세가 있으셔서 그런지 어색한 영작도 종종 나옵니다.
물론, 김 교수만큼 영작을 하면 상당한 수준입니다.
그래도 어떤 부분들이 어색한 영작인지
저와 함께 훈련하시죠.

Do we need anger management therapy?
Due to South Korea's rapid industrialization and globalization, these days many Korean people comfortably meet a number of global standards that suit citizens of advanced countries. In this regard, foreign tourists frequently commend some laudable behaviors of Koreans, such as forming a line at the subway station, observing public etiquette and being considerate of other people. When waiting in line, foreigners say, Koreans even care about other people behind them and try to finish their business as quickly as possible for those who are waiting for their turn.
At the same time, however, foreigners point out that Koreans can be short-tempered and impetuous. Of course, not all the Korean people are like that, but many of us are undeniably impatient and impulsive, and can get easily upset and lose our tempers. We also frequently become emotional rather than rational. As a result, we might do something in a fit of anger and regret it later.
Whenever I turn on Netflix Korean dramas on television, for example, I frequently encounter verbal fight scenes, in which the actors shout loudly at each other. Since anger is contagious, it is uncomfortable to keep watching them arguing vociferously. Thus, I press the mute button.
