이에 비즈니스 영어 Pod lesson we’re going to look at 비즈니스 영어 관용구 related to colors.
Every culture attaches special meaning to different colors. But different cultures attach different meanings. Take the word “red” 예를 들어. 영어로, 우리가 말할 때 “in the red,” we mean in debt or operating at a loss. But to Chinese, “red” indicates good luck or gains in the financial markets. 그래서, in English it’s negative, but in Chinese it’s positive. It could be pretty easy to make a mistake, either in speaking or in understanding.
영어로, we can find idioms related to almost any color. But two colors are more common than others: black and white. 대부분의 경우에, black comes with a negative meaning and white comes with a positive meaning. 대부분의 경우에, 그건. In this series we will see one idiom using the word “black” that has a positive meaning.
오늘 수업에서는, we’ll hear a conversation between Mike and Rachel, two colleagues at a large company. We will hear them casually discussing some of their recent experiences at work. And in their conversation, you will notice many idioms related to color. Try to keep a mental note of the idioms you hear, and we’ll go through them in the debrief to explain what they mean and how you can use them.
