road VS. way 길종류도 여러가지

road 와 way, 그냥 단순하게 생각하면 '길'로 생각할수 있지만, 미묘한 약간의 사용차이가 있습니다.

프랭크시나트라의 올드팝 '마이웨이', 이 곡의 제목에서 way는 하드웨어적인 도로의 의미가 아닌 추상적 의미로 해석되겠지요.

그럼 그 미묘한 차이를 알아봅시다.

1. road (실제로 다니는) 길, 일반적인 길

예) Cars were driving along the road.

차들이 도로를 따라 달리고 있다.

예) There are many signs on the road.

도로에는 많은 표지판이 있다.

-영영사전 정의 ; an open way for travel or transportation

- 유사어

roadway 차도, 도로

highway 교통로, 간선도로

route 길, 노정

path (좁은)길

lane 골목길

2. way (추상적인)길, 방법, 양식

예) I put my makeup on the same way.

나는 같은 방법으로 화장해요.

예) I can hear it just fine the way it is.

그 방법 괜찮은데요.

- 영영사전 정의 ; how something is done or how it happens

- 유사어

method 방식, 방법

means 방법

system 방식, 규칙

mode 양식, 형식

- 참고로 프랭크시나트라의 my way 가사를 원문으로 올립니다.

 

And now, the end is near. 
And so I face the final curtain. 
My friend, I'll say it clear. 
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full. 
I've traveled each and every highway, 
And more, much more than this, 
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few 
But then again, too few to mention. 
I did what I had to do 
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course. 
Each careful step along the byway, 
And more, much more than this, 
I did it my way.

 

Yes, there were times, 
I'm sure you knew 
When I bit off more than I could chew. 
But through it all, when there was doubt, 
I ate it up and spit it out. 
I faced it all and I stood tall 
And did it my way!

  

I've loved, I've laughed and cried. 
I've had my fill my share of losing. 
And now, as tears subside, 
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that; 
And may I say, not in a shy way, 
No, oh no, not me, 
I did it my way"

For what is a man, what has he got? 
If not himself, then he has naught. 
To say the things he truly feels 
And not the words of one who kneels.

The record shows I took the blows, 
And did it my way! 
Yes, it was my way...
