미국 캐나다 생활 영어: Pull strings 

안녕하세요

미국 캐나다 실생활 영어 알려드리는 카니잉글리시입니다 ^^

​

"Pull strings "

"‘스트링을 당기다’라는 표현은 종종 권력의 위치에 있는 사람이 자신의 영향력이나 연결고리를 

사용하여 보통은 불가능할 것 같은 일을 성취하거나 이점을 얻기 위해 사용됩니다. 

이는 개인이나 전문적인 네트워크를 이용해 결과를 자신의 유리한 방향으로 조작하거나 지휘한다는 것을 시사하며, 

때로는 통상적인 절차나 형식을 우회하기도 합니다. 

이 표현은 보통 영향력이 비공개적이거나 뒤에서 행사될 때 사용됩니다.

 

한 마디로

"인맥을 동원하다"라는 소리입니다. ^^

​

예문으로 뉘앙스 확실히 파악하고 가겠습니다.

고고!
