1. Diary

[ Sat, 17th Sep 2022 ]

Admit that too many of knotty webs
in my cave used to be under a false impression.

but, belief by itself didn't get me anything.

I had to take a responsibility
to fix the f*cking issue to better myself.

the more I suffered,
the more I craved for dream.

the more I encountered that,
the more energy levels I got.

And how funny I look everytime my dimples can't control their movement.
Recently, dacing over the moon keeps popping into my head.
mm.. feel like reality and my imagination conflate together(:

선과 악이 공존하는 매력적인 세상에 
그냥 자꾸 웃음이 나온다.

가끔은
스스로를 꺼림칙하다고 생각하는 것도 좋지만,
적어도 내 가치관이 불순해지지만 않는다면
오차를 대범하게 받아들이는 것 또한 영양분이다.

그리고 이젠, 현재의 삶이 너무너무 감사해서
더더욱 간절한 꿈이다❤︎

 

 

2. English

emphatic : (진술, 대답이)강한 / (분명히)강조하는
making your meaning very clear because you have strong feelings about a situation or subject; done or said in a strong way

ex. I was emphatic in my assertion.

난 단호하게 주장했다.

Well, the answer is an emphatic yes.

당연히 '예스'지.

I am sorry to be a bit emphatic.

약간 단호하게 굴어서 미안해.

Her new album was an emphatic success!

그녀의 새 앨범은 대성공이었어!

 

glib : (못마땅)말을 잘 하는, 입심 좋은
speaking or spoken in a confident way, but without careful thought or honesty

ex. There're a lot of glib talking politicians.

입만 번지르하게 말하는 정치인들이 많아.

If that is not glib, what is it?

그게 말만 번지르르한 게 아니라면, 뭔데?

I don't mean to sound glib.

말만 그럴싸하게 하려는 건 아니에요.

 

articulate : 분명히 표현하다, 잘(분명히)표현하는
able to express your thought, arguments, and ideas clearly and effectively

ex. It's quite hard for me to articulate the way I felt at that time.

그때 내가 느꼈던 기분은 말로 표현하기가 꽤 어려워.

Make your writing brief and articulate.

글은 간단명료하게 써라.

I like your articulate pronunciation.

난 너의 뚜렷한 발음이 좋아.

 

prescient : 선견지명(예지력)이 있는
prophetic : 예언의, 예언적인
knowing or suggesting correctly what will happen in the future

ex. That was a prescient statement, and how right he was.

그건 예지력이 있는 주장이었고, 그가 정말로 옳았다.

See? I said this would happen, it did! Maybe, I was prophetic.

거봐, 이게 일어날거라고 했잖아! 어쩌면 내가 예지력을 발휘했나봐.

 

hyperbolic : 과장된, 과장법을 쓴
a way of speaking or writing that makes someone or something sound much more impressive than they are

ex. Many of these claims are hyperbolic.

주장들 중 많은 부분이 과장되었다.

You need to use adjectives hyperbolic enough to describe the content if 7+ is your goal in IELTS Speaking test.

아이엘츠 스피킹 시험에서 목표가 7이상이라면, 내용을 충분히 묘사도록 과장된 형용사를 사용할 필요가 있어.

 

hyperbole : 과장법
exaggeration

ex. This article is full of daft hyperbole.

이 기사는 바보같은 과장으로 넘쳐나.

[daft : (흔히 재미있게)바보같은(어리석은)
ex. what a daft thing to say! 무슨 바보같은 소리야!]

This is not hyperbole, it's purely a statement of fact.

이건 과장이 아니라 순전히 사실의 진술이다.

 

rhetorical : 수사적인, 미사여구식의
rhetorical speech or writing is intended to seem important or influence people
rhetorical question : 수사의문, 반문적 의문
a question asked in order to create a dramatic effect or to make a point rather than to get an answer

ex. I think that is a rhetoical question.

미사여구가 많은 질문이라고 생각해.

'Don't you care what I do?' she asked, but it was a rhetorical question.

'넌 내가 하는 거에 관심도 없어?' 그녀가 물었지만, 그건 수사의문문이었어.

I believe that is a rhetorical question although a very important one.

매우 중요한 질문이긴 하지만, 답을 듣기 위한 거라고는 생각하지 않아요.

 

unintelligible : 이해할 수 없는
not able to be understood
incomprehensible

ex. His work is almost unintelligible without explanation.

그의 작품은 설명이 없으면 거의 이해할 수 없어.

To be honest, your script is unintelligible.

솔직히 말해서, 너 글씨는 이해하기 힘들어.

verbose : 장황한
using more words than necessary, and therefore may be long and bo ring

ex. Some can't speak and some are verbose.

몇몇은 말을 못하고 몇몇은 너무 장황해

I find him quite verbose.

난 그가 꽤 떠벌리는 성격이란 걸 알게되었어.

Well, that was an emphatic verbose discussion.

음, 완전히 장황한 논의였어.

 

flippant : 경솔한, 건방진
not serious about a serious topic, in an attempt to be funny or to appear smart
(≒ facetious : 경박한, 까부는)

ex. I am sorry if I appeared flippant; I was not meaning to be.

경솔해 보였다면 미안해요. 그러려던 건 아니었어요.

flippant remark

경솔한 발언
