안녕하세요?
오늘 알아볼 표현은 바로 That being said 입니다. 이 표현을 처음 접했을때 들었던 생각이 지금도 나는것 같네요ㅎㅎㅎ;;. 뭔가 문법적으로도 안맞는것 같고 또 말이 안되는 표현(?)이라는 생각이 들었었거든요...
앞서 언급한거에 대비되는 이야기를 할때 사용하는 표현
- "That being said" implies that you're about to contradic or modify what has just been said
- With that being said, 또는 Having said that으로도 사용
That being said는 앞에 언급한거에 반대되는 이야기를 할 때 사용할 수 있는 표현으로 "그렇지만/그렇긴 하지만" 의미로 이해할 수 있을 것 같습니다.
이 표현은 But / However / nevertheless / nonevertheless / despite 과 유사한 의미이지만 Spoken English에서만 사용하시고 Written English에서는 사용하지 않으시기를 권장합니다. 특히나 중요한 문서나 비즈니스 이메일의 경우에는 안쓰시는게 좋습니다. 그만큼 That being said가 Informal 한 표현이라고 볼 수 있겠죠..
