수업자료 It's a shame to + V

[00김기식]

1. Warming up

My husband works hard all week and is also good about helping with our young children, so I don’t begrudge him an occasional Saturday morning of golf, even though his partner is an attractive woman from his office.
One morning she came over to pick him up at the same time that a plumber arrived.
As my husband got into her car, one of my children was screaming, another dragging on my leg.
The plumber, a new arrival from China, looked confused as he asked, “Was that your husband who just left with the pretty woman?”
When I told him it was, he said “America is a wonderful place to live!”

2. Today's Expression‎

# It's a shame to + V : ... 하다니 안타까운 일이예요.

책망이나 안타까움의 뉘앙스를 풍기는 표현. 이젠 shame을 오로지 [수치]라고만 해석하는 '수치'에서 벗어나야 할 때가 되지 않았을까?!

여기서 shame는 [유감스런상황](unfortunate state of affairs)이나 [안타까움](something that you are sorry about)을 뜻하는 명사로 거창하게 '유감'까진 아니더라도 그저 좀 바람직하지 못한 상황이라면 언제든지 쓸 수 있는 표현이다.

It's a shame다음에

절이 오는 경우에는 that S + V ,

동명사가 오는 경우에는 of + ~ing형태로 써주면 된다.

또한, shame 대신 형용사인 ashamed를 써서 It's ashamed to + V라고 해도 똑같은 의미이다.
