Unit 783. I first thought Jeju was similar to my hometown.

 

My first impression of Jeju ... that it was very similar in many ways to my hometown in Australia.

English On The Go

The very first time I ever came to Jeju, the first impression I kind of got of it …

that it was very similar in a lot of ways to my hometown of Brisbane in Australia.

Obviously the language and everything is different,

--------------------------------------------------------------------

but in many ways I was reminded of my hometown

because here in Jeju there's a lot of palm trees like there is in Brisbane.

There's lots of fresh fruit. Australia also has got, like, a lot of, like, lovely, like, oranges and things.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

And so when I came to Jeju, I felt almost at home, even though it's still in so many ways different to Australia.

Just the landscape alone ... I was like, “It's so nice to be surrounded by green and everything.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------

And so my first impression was kind of like, “Ooh, did I, like, come back to Australia?” for a second.

Obviously the food is very different though to Australia.

We don't have as many black pigs in Australia.

Unit 784. We shouldn't rely on first impressions.

 

We usually form our opinions of someone based on our first impressions, but first impressions aren't everything.

English On The Go

How much do you trust your first impressions?

I used to blindly trust mine until I remembered a few times I was wrong.

---------------------------------------------------------------

An employee that I hired after a great interview didn't want to do much work.

A friendly coworker turned out to be just trying to get me to join a pyramid scheme.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

And I went on a first date which I thought was perfect, but … well, let's not talk about that one.

Anyway, the point that I'm trying to make is that we can't rely on our first impressions, at least not always.

Now, a good first impression can help get your foot in the door at a job or get you a second date.

---------------------------------------------------------------

But there are just so many things like being shy or having a bad day that can really affect a first impression.

And it can take more than just a few minutes to know somebody.

Take, for example, my best friend, who I met online.

My first impression was that he was really energetic and we didn't have much in common.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

But when I finally met him, he was really down-to-earth and we clicked right away.

So, while we can't always trust our first impressions, they are all that we have.

And I'll keep using them, but I'll try not to rely on them completely.

An employee that I hired after a great interview didn't want to do much work.

A friendly coworker turned out to be just trying to get me to join a pyramid scheme.

친절한 동료가 있었는데 알고 보니 그냥 저를 다단계 조직에 가입시키려고 하는 거였어요.

 

scheme 계획, 책략

  *  in the grand scheme of things   ;   (관용표현) 크게 봤을때, 전체적으로 봤을 때

And I went on a first date which I thought was perfect, but … well, let's not talk about that one.

그리고 한 번은 첫 번째 데이트가 아주 잘 됐다고 생각했는데... 아, 그 이야기는 하지 말죠.

 

Anyway, the point that I'm trying to make is that we can't rely on our first impressions, at least not always.

아무튼, 제 말의 요지는 첫인상에 의존하면 안 된다는 거예요. 적어도 항상 그러면 안 된다는 거예요.

 

Now, a good first impression can help get your foot in the door at a job or get you a second date.

물론 첫인상은 어떤 일자리에 발을 들여 놓을 수 있도록, 또는 두 번째 데이트 약속을 잡을 수 있도록 도와줄 수 있죠.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------

 

But there are just so many things like being shy or having a bad day that can really affect a first impression.

그런데 수줍다든지, 아니면 그날 일이 잘 안 풀린다든지, 첫인상에 영향을 줄 수 있는 요소들이 정말 많아요.

 

And it can take more than just a few minutes to know somebody.

그리고 어떤 사람을 몇 분만 만나서 알 수는 없어요.

 

Take, for example, my best friend, who I met online.

그런 예로, 인터넷으로 만난 제 제일 친한 친구가 있어요.

  Take , something or someone, for example  ...

My first impression was that he was really energetic and we didn't have much in common.

제가 받은 첫인상은 그 친구가 정말 에너지가 넘치고 우리가 공통점이 많지 않다는 거였어요.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

But when I finally met him, he was really down-to-earth and we clicked right away.

그런데 드디어 실제로 만나 보니 정말 털털한 성격이었고, 우리는 바로 친해졌어요.

  down-to-earth  ;  (여기서는) 털털한 성격,  현실적인, 실제적인; 세상 물정에 밝은.  a down-to-earth person

So, while we can't always trust our first impressions, they are all that we have.

그래서 첫인상을 항상 믿을 수는 없지만, 그거 말고는 다른 정보가 없죠.

 

And I'll keep using them, but I'll try not to rely on them completely.

그리고 저는 첫인상을 계속 참고하겠지만, 완전히 의존하지 않으려고 노력할 거예요.

Unit 785. First impressions are extremely important.

 

Although we shouldn't jump to conclusions too quickly, I still think first impressions are really important.

English On The Go

First impressions, in my opinion, are extremely important.

Although we're taught not to judge a book by its cover, this is quite hard to do in reality

because we so naturally formulate some sort of opinion about someone that we've just met. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course it would be nice to sit down with someone that you've just met

and have a conversation and ask them a lot of questions about themselves.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

And perhaps the more time you spend together, the more relaxed and comfortable the other party would feel as well,

and all of this would change your first impression of them.

But unfortunately we're not always in such situations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

For example, in job interviews, you only have a select number of minutes

to convey your personality, your mindset, and your entire aura.

And unfortunately this is very challenging, especially for people who feel rather shy and awkward talking to new people.

Unit 786. I want my first impression to reflect my true self.

 

I used to quiet down my personality, but I've found that when making a first impression, revealing my true self is better.

English On The Go

Oftentimes when I would first meet people, I would quiet my personality and be more agreeable and less expressive. 

But I've realized that people like it better if I'm true to myself and show them who I really am.

Naturally I'm a very expressive person.

I use my hands a lot and I talk quite loud,

and I'll make a lot of different faces while I'm telling stories, for example.

----------------------------------------------------------

But whenever I would meet someone for the first time,

I figured that I always needed to be more quiet and not talk as much

and just kind of sit there and be nice and agreeable.

------------------------------------------------

And then later on, once I would get to know the person better,

they'd see my real personality and be like, “Wow, I had no idea you were like this.”

Unit 787. I decided to let go of my first impressions.

 

First impressions can make us act totally subjectively towards people and even cloud our judgment. So, recently I've decided to let go of the first impressions that I make of people.

English On The Go

I've recently changed how I feel about first impressions.

A first impression is an opinion you form about somebody when you meet them for the first time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

And I am known for holding on to first impressions for a long time.

When I meet somebody and they have a negative first impression on me,

no matter what kind of great person they are or if they've done amazing things, my opinion about them wouldn't change.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Similarly, if someone had a great first impression on me,

I would look more favorably on them and even forgive certain actions or behaviors that I would normally frown upon.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Recently, I've decided to let go of the first impressions that I make about people,

because you just never know what a person is going through on a given day.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes I have not such great days, and I wouldn't want people who meet me for the first time on those days

to form opinions about me that they would hold on to forever.

첫인상은 우리가 사람들에게 완전히 주관적으로 행동하게 만들고 심지어 판단도 흐려지게 해요. 그래서 최근에 저는 사람들에 대해 제가 갖는 첫인상을 버리기로 했어요.

I've recently changed how I feel about first impressions.

저는 최근에 첫인상에 대한 제 생각을 바꿨어요.

 

A first impression is an opinion you form about somebody when you meet them for the first time.

첫인상이란 어떤 사람을 처음 만났을 때 그 사람에 대해서 우리가 형성하는 의견이에요.

somebody when you meet them   ;   예전에는 somebody 를 쓰면 뒤에 대명사로 him 이나 her 를 썼었지만  somebody 가 단수여도 요즘에는 them 이 쓰임. someone, him, her 대신에 them 이 쓰임.. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------

And I am known for holding on to first impressions for a long time.

그리고 저는 첫인상이 한번 생기면 오랫동안 그렇게 느끼는 편이에요.

  am known for  ;  너도 알고 나도 알고 다아는 ..  유명하다는 의미가 아니고, 모두가 아는 ... 한 성향을 갖고 있다

  holding on to  ;  붙들고 있는 것을 말함. 

When I meet somebody and they have a negative first impression on me,

저는 누군가를 만나서 그 사람이 저에게 부정적인 첫인상을 남기면,

   마지막에 on me 대신에 of me 가 쓰였다면 나에 대해서 그들이 부정적인 첫인상을 받은 것. 

   on 이 쓰여서 leave 의 느낌 .. give a negative impression to me 

   

no matter what kind of great person they are or if they've done amazing things, my opinion about them wouldn't change.

그 사람이 아무리 대단한 사람이거나 멋진 일을 했어도, 그 사람에 대한 제 의견이 바뀌지 않아요.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Similarly, if someone had a great first impression on me,

마찬가지로, 어떤 사람이 저에게 좋은 첫인상을 남겼다면,

 

I would look more favorably on them and even forgive certain actions or behaviors that I would normally frown upon.

저는 그 사람을 더 호의적으로 보고, 심지어 보통은 눈살을 찌푸렸을 행동도 용서할 거예요.

 

favorably 호의적으로

frown 눈살을 찌푸리다   ( on 이나 upon 과 자주 쓰임 )

  어떤 행동을 했는데 그걸보고 사람들이 눈살을 찌푸렸다라고 할 때 

  it was frowned upon.  이런 식으로 자주 쓰임

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Recently, I've decided to let go of the first impressions that I make about people,

최근에 저는 제가 사람들에게서 받는 첫인상을 버리기로 했어요.

 

because you just never know what a person is going through on a given day.

왜냐하면 그 사람이 그날 어떤 일을 겪고 있는지 절대 알 수 없으니까요.

  on a given day   ;  on this random day that you met

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes I have not such great days, and I wouldn't want people who meet me for the first time on those days

가끔은 저도 좋지 않은 하루를 보낼 때가 있는데, 그럴 때 사람들이 저를 처음 만나길 바라지 않을 거예요.

 

to form opinions about me that they would hold on to forever.

그리고 저에 대해서 영원히 유지할 의견을 형성하는 걸 말이에요.
