Overview
bring up이라고 말하는지 궁금해한 적이 있나요...bring up은 여러분의 삶에서 두 가지 주요 역할을 합니다.bring up합니다. 둘째, 아이를 기른다는 뜻입니다. 이것은 누군가가 성인이 될 때까지 먹이고, 가르치고, 돌보는 긴 과정에 관한 것입니다.bring up하려고 하지는 마세요. 그것은 전술적 실수입니다.bring up은 구동사 컬렉션을 위한 완벽한 스타터 팩입니다. 흔하고 유용하며, I shall now mention the following subject라고 말하는 것보다 훨씬 더 원어민처럼 들리게 해줍니다.
How This Grammar Works
bring up the topic이라고 말할 수도 있고 bring the topic up이라고 말할 수도 있습니다.it, me, him, them과 같은 대명사를 사용한다면 반드시 중간에 들어가야 합니다.bring it up이라고 말해야 합니다. 절대로 bring up it이라고 말할 수 없습니다. 그렇게 하면 매트릭스의 오류처럼 들립니다.bring이라는 단어만 바뀝니다. brought가 됩니다. 그래서 어제 줌 회의에서 멋진 의견을 brought up(냈)던 것이죠.up이라는 단어는 그대로 유지됩니다. 절대로 upped가 되지 않습니다! 그것은 매우 웃긴 실수가 되겠지만, 제발 그러지 마세요.bring은 물건을 옮기는 것과 관련이 있습니다.up은 방향입니다. 합쳐지면 대화를 시작하거나 인간을 기르는 것이 됩니다. 언어의 스무디와 같습니다.
Formation Pattern
bring up을 사용하여 몇 가지 다른 방식으로 문장을 만들 수 있습니다. 문장을 위한 설계도는 다음과 같습니다.
I need to bring up the bill.
I need to bring the bill up.
I will bring it up later.
I was brought up in London.
bring을 변화시키는 것을 잊지 마세요. 현재의 he/she/it은 brings를 사용합니다. 과거는 brought. 미래는 will bring입니다. 움직임에 익숙해지면 사실 매우 간단합니다. 아이를 기르는 것에 대해 이야기할 때는 보통 수동태를 사용합니다. I was brought up by my grandparents. 이것은 조부모님이 여러분을 기르는 힘든 일을 하신 분들이라는 뜻입니다. 만약 I brought up myself라고 말하면, 0살 때부터 혼자서 모든 것을 해낸 슈퍼히어로처럼 들립니다. 솔직히 말해서 영화의 멋진 기원 이야기가 되겠네요.
When To Use It
bring up합니다.bring up하고 싶을 수도 있습니다. 그것은 여러분이 자신감이 있고 대화를 이끄는 법을 알고 있음을 보여줍니다. 또한 디지털 관련 상황에서도 사용합니다.bring it up(띄울) 수 있습니다. 아까 그 이메일 좀 bring up(띄워) 줄래?는 전형적인 사무실 문구입니다. 그리고 가족적인 측면도 있습니다.어디서 brought up 되었니?는 새로운 사람을 만났을 때 흔히 하는 아이스브레이킹 질문입니다. 경찰 심문처럼 들리는 «부모님이 어디서 널 기르셨니?»라고 묻는 것보다 훨씬 자연스럽습니다.
Common Mistakes
bring up it이라고 말하지 마세요. 항상 bring it up입니다. 뇌는 구동사를 붙여놓고 싶어 하겠지만, 저항해야 합니다! 또 다른 실수는 bring up과 grow up을 혼동하는 것입니다. 여러분은 (스스로) grow up(성장)하지만, 부모님이 여러분을 bring you up(양육)하는 것입니다. «우리 엄마가 나를 성장시켰어»라고 말하면 사람들은 이해하겠지만, 마치 여러분을 화분의 식물처럼 다룬 것처럼 들립니다. 또한 전치사에 주의하세요. 어떤 주제에 대해 bring up to라고 하지 않습니다. 그냥 주제를 bring up할 뿐입니다. 거기에 어울리지 않는 불필요한 단어를 추가하지 마세요. 마지막으로, 말 그대로 물건을 위층으로 가져갈 때 이것을 사용하지 마세요. 3층 아파트에 피자를 가지고 올라간다면, 여러분은 그냥 피자를 bringing up(위로 가져가는) 것뿐입니다. 구동사의 의미로 bringing it up하는 것이 아닙니다. 피자가 매우 중요한 대화 주제가 아니라면 말이죠(솔직히 피자는 자주 주제가 되긴 하지만요). 단순하게 생각하고 두 가지 주요 의미인 '언급하기'와 '양육하기'에 집중하세요.Contrast With Similar Patterns
bring up과 talk about은 어떻게 다를까요? talk about은 대화 전체를 말합니다. bring up은 시작일 뿐입니다.bring up하고, 그에 대해 20분 동안 talk about하는 것입니다. 그것은 불을 지피는 불꽃과 같습니다. mention은 어떨까요?mention은 매우 격식적입니다. 법률 문서나 매우 딱딱한 이메일에서 mention을 사용합니다. 친구나 동료에게는 bring up을 사용합니다.raise가 있습니다. 아이와 관련된 문맥에서 bring up과 raise는 거의 동일합니다. raise는 미국 영어에서 좀 더 흔하고, bring up은 영국 영어에서 매우 인기가 있습니다.bring up할 때만큼 캐주얼하게 raise할 수는 없습니다. 격식 있는 회의에서 '질문을 제기'(raise a question)할 수는 있지만, 파티에서는 재미있는 이야기를 bring up합니다.Quick FAQ
bring up은 격식적인가요, 비격식적인가요?
딱 중간입니다! 상사나 가장 친한 친구에게 모두 사용할 수 있습니다.
누군가에게 음식을 가져다줄 때 사용할 수 있나요?
아니요, 그것은 그냥 동사 bring에 방향 up이 더해진 것입니다. 구동사는 주제와 아이들을 위한 것입니다.

왜 사람들은 '그 얘기 꺼내지 마'(don't bring it up)라고 하나요?
보통 그 주제가 슬프거나 창피하거나 싸움을 시작할 수 있기 때문입니다. 2014년 전 애인의 사진에 실수로 '좋아요'를 눌렀던 일 같은 거 말이죠.
명사형이 있나요?
