오늘 영어표현은Black sheep (of the family) 입니다. The phrase black sheep is used to describe a disreputable or an odd member of a group. Especially within a family, if someone is the black sheep, it means that a single member of the family is considered to be the disreputable or the bad one by the rest of the family. 간혹 흰 양 무리 가운데 검은 양이 태어나는 경우가 있습니다. 하얀 양털은 염색이 쉬워서 시장에 내다 팔기가 좋은데 검은 양털은 그렇지가 않죠. 그래서 검은 양은 환영받지 못합니다. 여기서 나온 말이black sheep (of the family) 인데요. 무리에서 따돌림받는 존재, 골칫거리, 말썽꾼, 또 한집안에서 혼자만 나쁜 쪽으로 도드라지는 사람을 말합니다. 그리고 가족 가운데 혼자 종교가 다른 경우도 black sheep 이라고 부릅니다. 예를 들어볼까요? “Aaron always causes trouble in the household so he is called the black sheep of the family.” 라고 하면 “애론은 항상 문제만 일으키는 집안에 골칫덩어리다.” 라는 뜻입니다. Here is another example. “My parents consider me to be the black sheep of the family because both my sister and my brother are doctors and I am a singer.”라고 하면 “우리 누나랑 형은 둘다 의사고 나는 배우다. 그래서 그런지 나는 부모님한테서 따돌림을 당한다.”라는 뜻이 됩니다. Now you know what black sheep of the family means right? Now let’s listen to the conversation for the last time.
