우리 모두 가끔 말문이 막히곤 하죠! 이번 주에 고친 내용을 한번 복습해 보세요.

말한 문장
I want to report a hate crime incident what happened to me.
교정
I want to report a hate crime incident that happened to me.
설명

The original sentence is grammatically incorrect. 'What happened to me' should be 'that happened to me' to properly introduce the relative clause.

말한 문장
They were making fun of my race and religion; it was very offended.
교정
They were making fun of my race and religion; I was very offended.
설명

The original sentence uses 'it' as the subject, implying the situation was offended. The correct subject is 'I' because the speaker is the one who experienced the offense.

말한 문장
The police is investigating the case.
교정
The police are investigating the case.
설명

In English, 'police' is generally treated as a plural noun, even though it refers to a single entity. Therefore, the plural form of the verb 'are' should be used.

"Turn a blind eye"

못 본 척하다, 외면하다 (알고 있으면서 모르는 척하다)

이 관용구의 기원

This idiom originates from a naval battle where Admiral Nelson, despite being signaled to retreat, put his telescope to his blind eye and claimed he didn't see the signal, allowing him to continue the battle and win. 넬슨 제독이 해전에서 퇴각 신호를 받았음에도 불구하고, 맹인인 눈에 망원경을 대고 신호를 보지 못했다고 주장하며 전투를 계속하여 승리한 데서 유래했습니다.

문장 활용 예시
  • "We can't turn a blind eye to hate crimes; we must report them."
