묘사하다
사람들의 편견 때문에 '수난(?)'을 당하는 동물들이 있다.
개새끼를 비롯해서 미련하면 곰,
엉큼한 남자는 늑대, 변덕이 많으면 박쥐
용기가 없고 약한 사람은 병아리 (chicken),
잔재주 부리면 여우, 쩨쩨하며 쫌스러운 사람은 쥐새끼..
사실은 어떤지 알아보겠다.
Wolves have long been DEPICTED as ferocious, dangerous beasts in children's stories,
but actually they are very timid, intelligent animals.
늑대들은 동화에 포악하고 위험한 야수들로 묘사되어져 왔으나
사실은 그것들은 아주 소힘하고 지능이 높은 동물들이다.
다른 동물들은 간난아기를 보면 그들의 '먹거리' 취급하지만
늑대는 자거 젖을 먹이면서 키운기도 한단다.
실제로 wolf boy가 늑대에 의해 성장되었다는 실화도 있다
그리고 윤리적(?)이어서 삼대 (三代) 를 알아봐서
교미를 하지 않는다는 설도 있다.
그릇된 묘사를 동물들에게만
해당되지 않는다.

depict (v.)
early 15c., "portray, paint, form a likeness of in color," from Latin depictus, past participle of depingere "to portray, paint, sketch; describe, imagine," from de "down" (see de-) + pingere "to paint" (see paint (v.)). Extended sense of "portray in words, describe" is from mid-15c. Related: Depicted; depicting.
also from early 15c.
Entries linking to depict
de-
active word-forming element in English and in many verbs inherited from French and Latin, from Latin de "down, down from, from, off; concerning" (see de), also used as a prefix in Latin, usually meaning "down, off, away, from among, down from," but also "down to the bottom, totally" hence "completely" (intensive or completive), which is its sense in many English words.
As a Latin prefix it also had the function of undoing or reversing a verb's action, and hence it came to be used as a pure privative — "not, do the opposite of, undo" — which is its primary function as a living prefix in English, as in defrost (1895), defuse (1943), de-escalate (1964), etc. In some cases, a reduced form of dis-.
paint (v.)
mid-13c., peinten, "represent (someone or something) in paint;" c. 1300, "decorate (something or someone) with drawings or pictures;" early 14c., "put color or stain on the surface of; coat or cover with a color or colors;" from Old French peintier "to paint," from peint, past participle of peindre "to paint," from Latin pingere "to paint, represent in a picture, stain; embroider, tattoo," from a nasalized form of PIE root *peig- "to cut, mark by incision."
The sense evolution between PIE and Latin was, presumably, "decorate with cut marks" to "decorate" to "decorate with color." Compare Sanskrit pingah "reddish," pesalah "adorned, decorated, lovely;" Old Church Slavonic pegu "variegated;" Greek poikilos "variegated;" Old High German fehjan "to adorn;" Old Church Slavonic pisati, Lithuanian piešiu, piešti "to write." Probably also representing the "cutting" branch of the family is Old English feol (see file (n.2)).
From late 14c. as "represent persons and things in pictures or drawing, portray." To paint the town (red) "go on a boisterous or disorderly spree" is by 1884; to paint (someone or something) black "represent it as wicked or evil" is from 1590s. Adjective paint-by-numbers "simple" is attested by 1970; the art-for-beginners kits themselves date to c. 1953.

As I grew older, I noticed something utterly mystifying: Although a couple of my Jewish friends actually were master builders, it was my Gentile male friends who seemingly emerged as adults already knowing how to construct absolutely anything, no matter what their chosen career—meaning, not carpentry.
Case in point: My college friend B. went straight from pre-med, to med school, did all the additional years to become an OB/GYN, internships, residencies, started his hospital practice immediately, often did 24-hour shifts to deliver the night-owl babies, and managed to get married and have four kids during all of that.
Visiting him some decades later, he casually showed me an entire addition he had single-handedly added to his house.
Foundation, hardwood floor, walls, windows, roofing, electric lines, the whole nine yards. When in the world did he acquire those skills?
I found this anomaly over and over again. My Gentile friends seemed to spring forth from the womb wearing a toolbelt, and their first word was not “Mama,” but “Sawzall.”

However, when I was praising B.’s work, he felt compelled to confess that he did manage to fall off a ladder and break his wrist during the project, yet still performed two C-sections the next morning, putting a sterile Hefty bag over his cast.
My college roommate, D. was similarly blessed, although I must reveal that he has been replacing his roof for 17 years at this point, and mentions it in every email.
It was my good fortune to befriend the legendary Martyfixit of Santa Cruz, who would one day talk me through dozens of jobs, me with a phone balanced on my neck, my head at a 90° angle to keep it in place, as he would dictate, “Now use a Phillips head and loosen that screw just a quarter turn to the left, and pull out the ½” pipe you should see. Okay, call me from the hardware and plumbing aisle at Home Depot, where you need to get a few 3” molly screws and some pipe dope.” Thanks to Martyfixit's mentorship, I slowly began to do certain complex things on my own, like hang a picture or change the plastic cover plate on a wall socket, and I always came out feeling like a real man.

Thus, it was with little-to-no trepidation that I decided to tackle the Great Pond Job of ’23. I had miraculously created a 4’ x 12’ fish pond some seven years earlier, complete with a submersible pump, a hidden filter, and a secret entry to a waterfall, surrounded by store-bought, flat rocks. (From the rock store.)

Recently, however, the pump began getting clogged every day, halting the whole waterfall operation, requiring me to unplug it, lift it out, and power wash the muck and slime off that was accumulating daily. This process would yield, at best, another 24 hours of waterfall.
Without reaching out to any of my handyman consultants, I knew I had to clean out the bottom of the pond while retaining at least 75 percent of the water for its long-established ecosystem. My idea was to purchase an inflatable kiddie pool, pump the water into it, transfer the 21 fish using a net, then deep clean the bottom of the pond.
The pool did not come with a pump to inflate it, but I found a YouTube video showing how to cut the end off a plastic bottle, tape it over a hair dryer set to “cool,” and let it rip. It worked.
Before beginning the job, my wife, let’s call her Shari, because that’s her name, was concerned about my 23 open leg wounds (don’t ask) being exposed to flesh-eating bacteria in the pond which would likely cause me to lose a few limbs, induce sepsis, and kill me.

Surrendering to her wisdom, I replaced my shorts with long pants, tucked them into winter snow boots, then put each leg into a Hefty bag that she securely fastened with duct tape around my ankles and thighs. (If nothing else, I felt ready to perform a C-section.)
Long story short, within seven minutes I was completely drenched from head to toe, and she later texted: “Note to self: duct-taped Hefty bags not fully waterproof.” I wound up completing the job in my underwear, somehow dodging the sepsis bullet.
