few, a few, quite a few 차이
질문: what is the difference between 'few' and 'a few'?
chatGPT: The words "few" and "a few" are both adjectives used to describe the quantity of something, but they have different meanings and implications.
"Few" typically means "not many" or "a small number of." For example, "There are few people left in the town" means that the number of people remaining in the town is small. "Few" implies a relatively low quantity.
"A few," on the other hand, means "some" or "a small but not insignificant number of." For example, "I have a few friends who live in the town" means that the speaker has a small group of friends living there, but the group is not so small as to be considered insignificant. "A few" implies a relatively small quantity, but not as small as "few."
So, in summary, "few" implies a low quantity while "a few" implies a small but not low quantity.
chatGPT 의 답변에 따라 정리해보면, 'few' 는 말 그대로 '적다'를 의미한다. 'a few' 는 '적지만은 않은', '어느정도의', '몇몇의'정도의 해석이 가능한 상태의 '약간'을 의미한다고 볼 수 있다.
여기서 quite 은 보통 뒤 형용사를 강조하는 표현이므로, 이에 걸맞는 한국어 표현으로는 '꽤'가 있다. 어떤 사전에는 '꽤 많은'으로 나와있지만, '많다'는 의미는 아닌것처럼 보인다. '꽤 많은' 이라는 표현 자체가 사실 많다는걸 의미한다기보다는 '예상보다는 많다'를 의미한다. chatGPT 는 quite a few 표현에 대해 물었더니 다음과 같이 대답해주었다.
chatGPT: The expression "quite a few" is an adjective phrase that means "some but greater than a bare minimum." It adds emphasis to "a few" and implies a quantity that is greater than might be expected.
A is to blame 으로 보는 be to 용법
A is to blame (for B): (B는) A의 탓이다
chatGPT 에게 위처럼 be동사 바로 뒤에 오는 to 의 역할을 물어보면 'convey' 라는 표현을 사용하여 설명해준다. 위 표현에서는 A 에게 blame 의 의미를 'convey' 하는 걸 'to' 가 도와주고 있다면서 말이다. 결과적으로 '책임의 느낌을 전달하는 표현'이 된다.
질문: He is to blame for the disaster. In that sentence 'be to' used as expression. what is the function of that 'to'?
chatGPT: In the sentence "He is to blame for the disaster," the use of "to" in the phrase "to blame" is a preposition that functions as part of an idiomatic expression. The phrase "to be to blame" means "to be responsible" or "to be at fault." In this sentence, the speaker is asserting that the person referred to as "he" is responsible for the disaster in question. The preposition "to" helps to convey this sense of responsibility or fault.
보통 'be to 용법'이라고 설명하는 문법 요소가 '예정, 의무, 가능, 의도, 운명' 을 의미한다고 설명하는데, 이는 모두 A is to B 에서 B 의 의미가 A 에게 convey 되도록 도와준다. chatGPT 는 다음의 문답에서 '예정'에 해당하는 의미를 설명해주고 있다. chatGPT 의 설명에 따르면 이는 '예정'이라기 보다는, '자격'을 의미하는 것에 가깝다. (사실 chatGPT 가 맥락의 이해를 그렇게 한건지, 실제로 해당 영어 문화권 사람들이 그렇게 이해하는지는 잘 모르겠지만...)
질문: So can you suggest another sentence like this sentence using 'be to'?
chatGPT: Sure! Here's another sentence using the phrase "to be to" in a similar idiomatic expression:
"She is to receive the award for her outstanding contributions to the field."
In this sentence, the speaker is saying that the person referred to as "she" is going to be given an award, likely as a result of her notable work in her field. The phrase "to receive the award" conveys the idea of being honored or recognized in some way, and the preposition "to" helps to express this sense of being deserving or entitled to the award.
