궁금했던 표현들 #29. 온라인 vs. 오프라인

주제1) 온라인 미팅은 멀리 떨어진 사람들이랑 소통할 수 있다는 장점이 있기는 하지만, 오프라인 미팅에 비해 효율성이 떨어져. 미팅 중에 방해 요소가 너무 많거든.

 

#1. Online meetings offer the significant advantage of facilitating easy communication with individuals located far away. However, when compared to offline meetings, they tend to be less efficient due to the myriad of distractions that can arise in an online setting.

 

#2. Online meetings are very useful because they allow people to talk with others who are far away, making communication easier across long distances. However, these online meetings are not as effective or productive as face-to-face, in-person (offline) meetings. This is because there are often many distractions that can occur during online meetings, which can disrupt the flow and focus of the meeting.

 

 

 

 

주제2) 넷플릭스 통해서 요새는 엄청 다양한 영화들을 집에서 편하게 볼 수 있지. 그치만, 나는 여전히 영화관에서 영화를 봐야 제대로 즐길 수 있다고 생각해. 넷플릭스로 보면은 한 자리에서 영화를 끝까지 봐본 적이 없어. 온전히 집중하기 어렵거든.

Netflix allows us to comfortably watch a wide variety of movies from home nowadays. However, I still believe that to fully enjoy a movie, it needs to be seen in a cinema. When watching on Netflix, I've never managed to sit through an entire  movie in one go. It's hard to focus completely.

#1. These days, a growing number of people enjoy the convenience of watching movies on Netflix from the comfort of their own homes, with its seemingly endless selection of films. However, I personally don’t think this is the optimal way to truly experience a movie. Whenever I watch on Netflix, I find it challenging to sit through an entire film without interruptions. In contrast, watching a movie in a cinema provides an immersive environment that allows for complete focus and engagement with the film.

 

#2. In today's world, the convenience of Netflix has made it incredibly popular for watching a vast array of movies from the comfort of home. However, I feel that this might not be the ideal way to fully experience a film. My experiences with Netflix often involve difficulty in watching a movie from start to finish without interruption. On the other hand, the cinema offers a unique, immersive environment that encourages total focus on the film, enhancing the overall viewing experience.

 

 

cf) find myself losing concentration
ex) I often find myself losing concentration and unable to watch a movie from start to finish without interruption when I'm on Netflix.

The phrase "find myself losing concentration" means that you notice yourself becoming less focused or attentive. 
It's often used to describe a situation where you gradually realize that you are no longer paying as much attention as you intended to. This can happen without you initially intending it or being fully aware of it.

For example, when you say "I find myself losing concentration while watching a movie on Netflix," it means that as you  are watching the movie, you gradually start to notice that your focus is slipping away. You might start thinking about other things, get distracted by your surroundings, or simply not absorb the details of the movie as closely as you would like. This realization usually comes to you in the midst of the activity, which is why the phrase "find myself" is used—it indicates a sort of self-discovery or acknowledgment of the state you're in.
