[김대균의 영어산책] "Flex" – 뽐내기와 자신감의 영어 표현

Flex란? 요즘 젊은 세대 사이에서 'flex'는 하나의 문화가 되었다. 'Flex'란 원래 '근육을 구부리다(자랑하듯 보여주다)'**는 뜻이지만, 요즘에는 비싼 물건, 능력, 라이프스타일 등을 자랑하다는 의미로 자주 사용된다. Flex (v.): to show off, to boast confidently or playfully 예: "He's flexing his new iPhone." 그 사람 새 아이폰 자랑 중이야. Flex 표현이 쓰이는 상황들 명품을 자랑할 때: 'She was flexing her Louis Vuitton bag at the party.' (파티에서 루이비통 가방 뽐냈어.) 운동 후 근육을 보여줄 때: 'Time to flex these gains!' (운동 성과 좀 보여줄까?) 재능이나 능력을 드러낼 때: 'He flexed his piano skills at the talent show.' (그 친구 재능쇼에서 피아노 실력 뽐냈지.) Flex 관련 재미있는 명언/유머 표현 센스 있는 영어 문장들 I don't mean to flex, but I just finished a 100-question TOEIC test in 20 minutes. 자랑하려는 건 아닌데, 토익 100문제 20분 만에 끝냈어요. Flexing isn't just about money—it's about confidence. Flex는 돈 자랑이 아니라 자신감의 표현이기도 하다! 'Not to flex, but I've memorized all TOEIC Part 5 vocabulary.' 자랑은 아니지만 토익 파트 5 단어는 다 외웠어요. (자랑 맞음 ) 유머 섞인 "Flex" 상황들 Friend: 'Did you just buy another pair of sneakers?' You: 'Yeah, just a little weekend flex.' 친구: 또 운동화 샀어? 나: 주말 기분 전환용 flex야~ "He posted his lunch on Instagram again. That's his daily flex." 또 점심 인스타 올렸네. 걔의 데일리 플렉스야. "Your English is so good!" "Oh, thanks! Just a little TOEIC flex." 영어 너무 잘하시네요! 아, 감사합니다. 그냥 토익 실력 좀 뽐낸 거예요~ Flex로 끝나는 명언 패러디 'To flex or not to flex, that is the question.'(To be or not to be , that is the question) 윌리엄 셰익스피어가 '사느냐 죽느냐 그것이 문제로다'를 빗대어 '자랑하느냐 마느냐, 그것이 문제로다' 'With great flex comes great responsibility.' 능력자라면 겸손도 필요합니다! 'I flex, therefore I am.'( I think, therefore I am.) 데카르트의 '나는 생각한다. 고로 나는 존재한다' 를 빗대어 '나는 자랑한다. 고로 나는 존재한다.'

Banksy unveils street shadow art

MARSEILLE, France (AP) — The lighthouse appeared overnight. Painted on a wall tucked away in a quiet Marseille street, its beam aligned perfectly with the real-life shadow of a metal post on the pavement. At its center, stenciled in crisp white, are the words: 'I want to be what you saw in me.' Banksy had struck again. The elusive British street artist confirmed the work by posting two images on his official Instagram account b without caption or coordinates. Fans quickly identified the location as 1 Rue Felix Fregier, in the Catalans district of Marseille's 7th arrondissement, near the sea. Since then, crowds have gathered at the site. Tourists snap photos. Children point. Locals who usually walk past the building stop to take a closer look. There is no official explanation for the phrase. But its emotional pull is unmistakable -- a quiet plea for recognition, love or redemption. Some speculate it references a country ballad by Lonestar. Others call it a love letter. Or a lament. Or both. The image is deceptively simple: a lone lighthouse, dark and weathered, casting a stark white beam. But what gives it power is the way it plays with light -- the real and the painted, the seen and the imagined. The post in front of the wall becomes part of the piece. Reality becomes the frame. Marseille's mayor, Benoit Payan, was quick to react online. 'Marseille x Banksy,' he wrote, adding a flame emoji. By midday, the hashtag #BanksyMarseille was trending across France, and beyond. Though often political, Banksy's art is just as often personal, exploring themes of loss, longing and identity. In recent years, his works have appeared on war-ravaged buildings in Ukraine, in support of migrants crossing the Mediterranean and on walls condemning capitalism, Brexit, and police brutality. The artist, who has never confirmed his full identity, began his career spray-painting buildings in Bristol, England, and has become one of the world's best-known artists. His mischievous and often satirical images include two male police officers kissing, armed riot police with yellow smiley faces and a chimpanzee with a sign bearing the words, 'Laugh now, but one day I'll be in charge.' His work has sold for millions of dollars at auction, and past murals on outdoor sites have often been stolen or removed by building owners soon after going up. In December 2023, after Banksy stenciled military drones on a stop sign in south London, a man was photographed taking down the sign with bolt cutters. Police later arrested two men on suspicion of theft and criminal damage. In March 2024, an environmentally themed work on a wall beside a tree in north London was splashed with paint, covered with plastic sheeting and fenced off within days of being created. Despite the fame — or infamy — at least in Marseille, not everyone walking past noticed it. Some didn't even know who Banksy was, according to the local press. On Instagram observers say this Marseille piece feels quieter. More interior. And yet, it is no less global. The work arrives just ahead of a major Banksy retrospective opening June 14 at the Museum of Art in nearby Toulon featuring 80 works, including rare originals. Another exhibit opens Saturday in Montpellier. But the Marseille mural wasn't meant for a museum. It lives in the street, exposed to weather, footsteps and time. As of Friday evening, no barriers had been erected. No glass shield installed. Just a shadow, a beam and a message that's already circling the world.
