~인 것처럼 보인다




Marissa: We also like the metro system here. It seems to be very quick and efficient.
It’s simple but moves very efficiently.
Jen: Really?
Marissa: We’re enjoying getting around town with the metro system.

You know, my friend, Marissa, and her husband came to visit me in Washington D.C. for a week. 제 친구, 마리사가 남편과 함께 워싱톤 디시를 방문하러 왔어요. 저와 함께 전철을 타고 저녁을 먹으러 가는 중에 마리사는 워싱톤 디시에 있는 metro system, metro system 은 지하철 제도죠? 그러니까, 지하철 제도가 잘 되어 있다고 칭찬하더라구요. “It’s simple” 간단하고 효율적이어서 도시를 편안하게 구경하며 즐겼다고 얘기했습니다.

Let’s listen to that conversation again.

Marissa: We also like the metro system here. It seems to be very quick and efficient.
It’s simple but moves very efficiently.
Jen: Really?
Marissa: We’re enjoying getting around town with the metro system.

오늘의 영어 표현은: It seems to be…이죠? It seems to be ~ 인 것처럼 보인다. It seems to be. Marissa가 “It seems to be very quick and efficient” 라고 했죠? It seems to be very quick and efficient 하면 '매우 빠르고 효율적 인것 같다' 는 뜻입니다.

Another similar phrase that you can use is It looks like… It looks like ~할 것 같아 / ~인 것 처럼 보이다. 그래서 It looks like it’s going to rain 하면 비가 올 것 같아요. It looks like it’s going to rain.

이번에는 예문으로 한 번 알아보겠습니다.
It seems to be working. 응, 효과가 있는 것 같아.
It seems to be overcast. 오늘은 흐리겠군요.

Now it’s your turn: I’ll say it in Korean and you try saying it in English!
