[ENG] 오늘의 Phrasal Verb 100개

영화나 드라마, 그리고 실생활에서도 많이 사용되는 Phrasal Verb 100개를 정리해보았다.

Phrasal Verb란, 동사 + 전치사 또는 동사 + 부사가 조합된 형태로서, 동사가 Phrasal Verb로 활용 될 때 기존 동사의 뜻과 완전히 다른 뜻이나 늬앙스가 되어버리는 경우가 많다.

예를 들어, Give라는 동사는 기본적으로 “주다” 라는 의미를 가지고 있지만, 전치사와 조합해 phrasal verb로 사용될 때
– Give up = 포기하다
– Give in = 굴복하다, 양보하다
– Give away = 나누어 주다, 비밀을 누설하다
이처럼, 다양한 의미로 사용되게 된다.

네이티브 스피커들은 일상 대화에서 phrasal verb를 많이 사용한다.
단순하고 간결하게 의사를 표현 할 수 있기 때문인데, 만약 phrasal verb를 잘 모르면 문맥을 이해하거나 자연스럽게 대화하기가 어려워진다.

따라서 지속적인 공부가 필요하며, 토익 등 공부를 하면서 동사의 의미와 전혀 다른 해석이 되는 문장 때문에 골치 아프다면 혹시 phrasal verb때문은 아닌지 살펴볼 필요도 있다.
