Hello my favorite English language learners.
2
It is your favorite English teacher here,
3
Amy Joy, and in today's video I'm going to share with you some American slang expressions to talk about really negative people.
4
So to get started, let's imagine that you have a friend and her name is Nancy.
5
We are going to call her Negative Nancy and that is our first two slang expressions.
6
One, to be a Negative Nancy and two,
7
to be a Debbie Downer.
8
So these are expressions that just describe really negative people.
9
So imagine that you are with your group of friends and you say,
10
hey what should we do this weekend
11
and someone suggests hey why don't we go to the beach
12
then negative Nancy says oh I hate the beach I hate
13
the sand it's too hot I always get sunburned it's too
14
much work I don't want to go she is being a negative Nancy
15
and you can tell her hey don't be such a negative Nancy or hey don't be such a Debbie Downer.
16
So again our first two words to be a negative Nancy or to be a Debbie Downer.
17
Now Nancy and Debbie are female names but you can actually call men a negative Nancy or a Debbie Downer too.
18
And if you're feeling a little bit negative
19
that day you might even say oh I don't mean to be a negative Nancy or oh,
20
I don't want to be a Debbie Downer,
21
but I don't want to go to the beach.
22
And number three is also a name and the phrase is to be a Scrooge.
23
And this means to be a negative person,
24
but also be cheap or not want to pay for things.
25
So for example, again, you're with your friends and you say,
26
hey, what should we do this weekend?" and your friend suggests,
27
well we could go see that new Marvel movie.
28
And then your friend Negative Nancy,
29
she says, oh I don't want to go to the movies.
30
Tickets are so expensive these days.
31
You can say, hey don't be such a Scrooge or stop being a Scrooge.
32
We can go to the early showing which is cheaper.
33
And Negative Nancy might say fine but I'm not buying any snacks.
34
Negative Nancy is now being a Scrooge.
35
And this word actually has an interesting history.
36
It comes from Charles Dickens' play A Christmas Carol and the main character in that play is Ebenezer Scrooge.
37
And he is a really negative man who is very wealthy but doesn't want to spend any money.
38
So he is very cheap and now since that is his character.
39
We also call people who are cheap scrooges.
40
So don't be a scrooge or stop being a scrooge.
41
And number four, a whiner.
42
A whiner is just a person who whines a lot and to whine means to complain.
43
So we can be talking about negative Nancy and say,
44
Ugh, Nancy is such a whiner.
45
She is always complaining about something.
46
And number five is the word rude.
47
To be rude is an adjective that means to be impolite.
48
So again, let's say that we are out to dinner with negative Nancy
49
and we are about to order and Nancy decides to order the salmon
50
and the waitress says oh I'm so sorry we don't have any more salmon.
51
Nancy gets very upset starts yelling at the waitress and says then why do you have it on the menu?
52
Who is your manager? this is ridiculous.
53
She is being rude.
54
And number six, to be spoiled.
55
To be spoiled means to complain when you don't get your way or when you don't get what you want.
56
So your friend Nancy grew up as a single child.
57
She didn't have any brothers or sisters,
58
so her parents always gave her what she wanted and now she complains when she does not get what she wants.
59
So she is spoiled.
60
Another more academic word for spoiled is entitled
61
and again this just means you think you deserve everything probably because you grew up getting everything you wanted.
62
Numbers seven, eight, and nine are all synonyms so I'm going to group them together.
63
They are to be grumpy,
64
to be cranky, and to be in a bad mood.
65
These all mean that you are unhappy or that you are annoyed by something.
66
So again, thinking about our friend Negative Nancy,
67
she hates waking up early in the mornings and whenever she has to wake up early she is grumpy,
68
she is cranky, she is in a bad mood until she has her coffee.
69
And number 10, to give someone bad vibes.
70
This just means to give off bad energy
71
so again maybe with your friends
72
and you say who should we invite to our trip
73
and someone says oh please don't invite Nancy she gives me bad vibes
74
and similarly number 11 you can say bad
75
or negative energy you might say oh please don't invite Nancy I don't like her bad energy or her negative energy.
76
And our last word for today, self-centered.
77
And it just means that you are selfish or you only care about yourself and what you want.
78
So negative Nancy, she is very spoiled and she only wants to do what she wants to do.
79
She doesn't want to go to the beach.
80
She doesn't want to go to the movies and she wants everyone to do what she wants to do.
81
She is self-centered.
82
All right, well there you have it,
83
12 slang expressions to talk about negative people.

I'm sure that I may have forgotten some,

인기 동영상

왜 이 영상을 통해 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?

이 비디오는 부정적인 사람들에 대해 이야기하는 데 유용한 미국속어 표현들을 소개합니다. 영어 쉐도잉을 통해 이러한 표현들을 배우고 반복함으로써, 여러분은 실제 대화에서 더 자연스럽고 유창하게 말할 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, 친구와의 대화 중 'Negative Nancy'나 'Debbie Downer' 같은 표현들을 사용함으로써, 친구의 태도를 부정적으로 설명할 수 있는 기회를 가질 수 있습니다. 이런 맥락 속에서 연습하면, 실제 상황에서도 자신감을 가지고 말을 할 수 있게 됩니다.

문법 및 표현의 맥락

이 영상에서는 몇 가지 중요한 표현이 사용됩니다. 다음은 그 예시입니다:

  • to be a Negative Nancy: 부정적인 태도를 가진 사람을 묘사할 때 사용됩니다.
  • to be a Debbie Downer: 마찬가지로 부정적인 분위기를 만드는 사람을 지칭합니다.
  • to be a Scrooge: 인색하고 돈을 함부로 사용하지 않는 사람을 설명하는 데 쓰입니다.
  • a whiner: 불평을 많이 하는 사람을 나타내는 단어입니다.
  • rude: 무례한 행동을 설명하는 형용사로 사용됩니다.

이와 같은 다양한 표현을 이해하고 사용할 수 있다면, 여러분의 shadow speak 능력이 한층 더 향상될 것입니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

영상에서는 몇 가지 발음이 어려울 수 있는 단어들이 등장합니다. Negative Nancy와 Debbie Downer와 같은 조합은 특히 발음하기 어려울 수 있습니다. 'Nancy'를 '랜시'가 아닌 '낸시'로, 'Debbie'는 '데비'로 정확히 발음하는 것이 중요합니다. 이러한 발음 연습이 유튜브 영어 공부에 큰 도움이 될 것입니다. 이처럼 다양한 표현과 발음을 집중적으로 연습하면, 여러분의 말하기 능력은 계속 발전할 것입니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
