미국 캐나다 생활 영어: Friend zone

안녕하세요

미국 캐나다 실생활 영어 알려드리는 카니잉글리시입니다 ^^

"Friend zone" 

"Friend zone"은 한 사람이 다른 사람에게 로맨틱한 관심이나 섹슈얼한 관심을 가지고 있는데, 

상대방은 그 사람을 친구로만 생각하고 로맨틱한 관계를 추구하지 않는 상황을 가리키는 영어 속어입니다. 

이 용어는 종종 한 사람의 로맨틱한 감정이 상대방에게 공감되지 않을 때 사용됩니다.

예를 들어, 누군가가 "나는 정말 존을 좋아해, 하지만 그는 나를 친구로만 생각해"라고 말하면, 

그들은 존과 함께 프렌드 존에 있다고 표현하며, 존은 그들의 로맨틱한 관심을 공유하지 않는다는 것을 의미합니다.

이 용어는 종종 유머적으로 사용되거나 상대방의 사랑이 이루어지지 않는 것을 설명하는 방법으로 사용됩니다. 

그리고 상대방의 로맨틱한 애장이 환영받지 않고 그들은 친구나 우호적인 관계에 머물러 있는 

어떤 상황을 설명하는 더 넓은 의미로도 사용될 수 있습니다.

 

한 마디로

"친구로 선긋기"이라는 소리입니다. ^^

(상대를 이성으로 좋아하는 사람을 친구로 선긋기)

 

예문으로 뉘앙스 확실히 파악하고 가겠습니다.

고고!
