심리적으로 불안한자가
반대를 위한 반대를 한다
영어 이야기
naysayer
[ˈneiˌsejɚ]
거부자,
반대론자
내 친구 가운데 두 사람은 아주 극단적 대조를 이루었다.
('이루었다'고 과거 시제를 쓰는 것은
그 친구 가운데 하나는 오래 전에 고인이 되었기 때문이다)
한 친구는 어떤 말 (대수롭지 않건 심각하건) 을 들으면 반응이 긍적적이었다
친구들이 식삭할 때 내가 왼손을 쓰니까,
"너는 본래 왼손잡이가 아닌데 왼손을 쓰네.."
나는 왼손을 쓰면 우뇌 (右腦)가 발전한다고 주장하니
그 친구는 '좋은 생각이구나, 나도 노력해야지"라고 했는데
다른 친구는 "이 나이에 뇌가 좋아지면 얼마나 좋아지니
생긴대로 살아,"라는 반응을 보였다
(우연인지 모르지만 사사건건 반대만 하던 친구는
비교적 젊었을 때 이 세상을 떠났다)
긴 얘기하지 않고 그렇게 부정적인 주장을 하는 사람들을
영어로 naysayer 라고 한다
A NAYSAYER is one who denies, refuses, opposes, or
is furthermore skeptical or cynical about something.
반대론자는 (다른 사람들의 주장이 옳건 그르건) 부정하고
거절하며 반대하고.게다가 (엎친 데 겹친 격으로)
어떤 일에 회의적 (懷疑的)이며 냉소적이다.
그리고 심리학자들은 그런 사람을 가리켜 ~
A NASAYER is also known as a dream killer who cuts your wings
as you are trying to do get out of your comfort zone
and dare do something different by pursuing your dreams.

반대론자는 당신이 요령피우는 곳에서 뛰쳐나오려 할 때
당신의 날개를 잘라버리는 꿈을 앗아가는 사람이며
당신의 꿈을 따라가면서 무엇인가 다른 것을 무례하게 하는 사람이다.
naysayer 는 nay (부정)를 말하는 사람인데
자녀 교육과 교육환경이 얼마나 중요한지를 상기시키는 낱말이기도 하다
Most of children for being raised by an antisocial NAYSAYER like a psychopath
will be NAYSAYERS when they grow to adulthood, too.
심리적 이상자 처럼 반사회적 반대론자에 의해 자라난 아이들이
그들 또한 어른이 되었을 때 반대론자들이 될 수 있다

Aren't you NAYSAYERS just a little ashamed of yourselves?
당신들 반재론자들아 당신 자신에 대해
조금이라고 부끄럽지 않는가...?!
It is time for the naysayers to admit they were wrong.
They also need to ignore the naysayers and the media.
many of the naysayer critics are the same way.
If you're a naysayer you'll get sacked.
The naysayers have been proved wrong so far.
These days Sam's organization is proving the naysayers wrong.
You philistines, you no naysayers can have your future
Aren't you naysayers just a little ashamed of yourselves?

Oxford professor tells Fukushima naysayers to "learn a little science"
The advice given by Oxford University Emeritus professor Wade Allison to those that continue
spreading misinformation on treated radioactive water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan was “learn a little science.”
in an e-mail interview with the JoongAng Ilbo, Allison again stressed that the treated radioactive water that will be discharged is harmless and far less harmful than a CT scan, whichis also not dangerous.
“Some elementary scientific knowledge would reveal that everything around us is nuclear waste from stellar nuclear explosions that predated the Earth,” Allison said. “Some are still radioactive today.”
rhetorically asked why Korea chooses to look “ignorant,” when the country is now well-respected globally.
The British physicist was accused by the Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung of being a “quack scientist,” during a rally protesting the discharge of treated radioactive water from the crippled nuclear power plant in Fukushima on Saturday.
Allison said that it is safe to drink the
contaminated water once it is purified by a multi-nuclide removal facility (ALPS) and expressed confidence in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) testing of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, arguing that it would be foolish of Japan to deceive the global agency during a lecture held last month at the National Assembly organized by the People Power Party.
“I have no doubt at all that you should not worry about the [treated] water,” he said.
naysayer (n.)
"one who refuses or denies," 1721, from verb naysay (implied from 1530s in naysaying); from nay + say (v.). The verbal phrase say (someone) no "refuse, deny" is from c. 1300. Nay-say (n.) "refusal" is from 1630s.
also from 1721
word of negation or refusal, "no" as a reply to a question, late 12c., from a Scandinavian source such as Old Norse nei, compound of ne "not" (from PIE root *ne- "not") + ei "ever," from Proto-Germanic *aiwi-, extended form of PIE root *aiw- "vital force, life; long life, eternity."
Middle English seien, from Old English secgan "to utter, inform, speak, tell, relate," from Proto-Germanic *sagjanan "to say" (source also of Old Saxon seggian, Old Norse segja, Danish sige, Old Frisian sedsa, Middle Dutch segghen, Dutch zeggen, Old High German sagen, German sagen "to say").
Watkins has this from a PIE *sokwyo-, from a root *sekw- (3) "to say, utter" (source also of Hittite shakiya- "to declare," Lithuanian sakyti "to say," Old Church Slavonic sociti "to vindicate, show," Old Irish insce "speech," Old Latin inseque "to tell say"). Some further see this as identical to the PIE root *sekw- (1) "to follow" (with semantic development to "see" and then "speak"). But others doubt it and Boutkan gives it "No certain PIE etymology.
If we compare the dose that you would get from drinking a liter of water from the Japanese cooling exercise without any dilution then that would be about almost the same effect as potassium 40,” Allison said, noting that it has been with us since the “beginning of time”.
So if I were to drink a liter of water now for the next 12 days that would double the radiation dose due to the radioactivity inside me,” he said. “ Just in case you think that’s a bad thing, you have to remember we get nearly 10 times as much radiation from outer space… from the water and especially when we go to a health spa and use radiation for our own health or get a CT scan or some other medical treatment “
His comment about drinking the filtered water has lately been constantly attacked by those that opposed Japan from discharging the waters from its nuclear power plants including the DP.
“The Japanese government doesn’t even talk about drinking the contaminated water,” Lee said during the rally. “However, the People Power Party is mocking the people and spreading lies by inviting quack scientists and announced that drinking 1 liter or 10 liters [of the treated water] is harmless.”
Lee went on to say that the contaminated water should be called a nuclear waste as that’s what it is.

“The biggest role of the government is to protect the lives and safety of its people,” Lee said. “A government is disqualified in representing the people if it deceives the public, intimidate, cause harm while committing acts that threatens the lives and safety of the people.”
The following is the e-mail interview with Professor Allison:
Q. DP Rep. Lee Jae-myung recently criticized you regarding the treated radioactive water from Fukushima during a speech at a rally.
A. I did not make a claim or state a belief. I reported a calculation that anyone can check. The radioactive potassium40 in my body, and in everybody else’s too, has always been there and is certainly quite harmless. Drinking a liter of undiluted Fukushima would give me the same radiation dose as the potassium40, but only for 2 weeks. So it too would be harmless.
Lee called you a quack scientist and say that claims of drinking the Fukushima contaminated water every day is a ridicule to the people of Korea. He also claims that the Fukushima water is clearly a nuclear waste.
Some elementary scientific knowledge would reveal that everything around us is nuclear waste from stellar nuclear explosions that predated the Earth. Some is still radioactive today, like the potassium40 that decays several thousand times a second, even inside Lee Jae-myung. Recommended treatment? Learn a little science.
