Welcome back to Business English Pod for the second part of our series on 영어 숙어 ~와 연관되다 과학 기술.
Every day you use dozens of high-tech devices and apps to communicate, 계획, organize, monitor and store information. It’s almost impossible to imagine the workplace before modern technology. It’s also almost impossible to imagine the English language without all the idioms we use related to technology.
If you want to be on the same wavelength as expert English speakers, you can’t ignore idioms. And I just used a prime example there. If you are “on the same wavelength,” it means you understand each other. This comes from radio technology, where you have to be tuned to the same frequency to receive a signal.
보시다시피, an idiom has a special meaning that isn’t always clear. You can think about the words on their own, but that won’t help you. You need to learn idioms as chunks of language, with a special meaning beyond the individual words. 이런 식으로, you will be able to communicate even better in English.
이번 강의에서는, we’ll rejoin a conversation at an engineering company between Maggie, 안토니오, 그리고 찾기. They are continuing their conversation about upgrading the tech systems in their company. 그들의 토론에서, 그들은 기술과 관련된 많은 관용구를 사용합니다. 이 중 일부를 발견할 수 있는지 확인하세요., 나중에 디브리핑에서 설명하겠습니다..
