In this episode, I share my personal experience with the Italian education system - focusing on the difficult choice of selecting a high school path so early in life. What does it mean to "find your place in the world" when you're just a teenager?

[EP095] わたしの運転遍歴 | My Driving Journey 🚗

안녕하세요, 여러분! 오늘은 새롭게 떠오른 한국어 표현인 파묘에 대해 이야기해 보려고 해요. 
이 표현은 원래 “무덤을 파서 옮기거나 다시 묻는다”라는 뜻인데요, 
영어로는 'exhuma'라고 번역 되었어요.
올해 초 개봉한 한국 오컬트 영화 파묘가 천만 관객을 돌파하면서 큰 인기를 끌었죠. 그런데 영화의 영향으로 이 단어가 한국 인터넷에서 완전히 새로운 의미로 쓰이게 되었어요.

파묘의 원래 의미는 "무덤을 파서 이장하거나 고쳐 묻는 일"인데, 영화 속에서 파묘를 하면서 무서운 악령이 깨어나는 장면이 나옵니다. 그래서 이제는 숨겨져 있던 부정적인 진실이나 문제가 갑작스레 드러나는 상황을 가리키는 은어 같은 표현으로 파묘가 사용되고 있어요. 
예를 들어, 누군가의 발언으로 인해 어떤 사건이 폭로되거나, 감추어졌던 진실이 밝혀지는 상황에서 사람들이 "파묘됐다"라고 말하는 거죠.

최근 파묘된 사례로는 '퍼프대디 사건'이 있는데요. 미국의 유명 래퍼인 '퍼프대디'가 엄청난 범죄에 연루된 정황이 언론에 의해 밝혀졌습니다. 
이처럼 그동안 감춰져 있던 일들이 드러나면서 많은 사람들에게 큰 충격을 주었죠. 이런 일이 벌어지면, 한국 사람들은 요즘 “와, 완전 파묘됐네!” 라고 반응해요.

이제 파묘는 사건의 은폐된 진실이 드러날 때를 가리키는 한국식 밈meme 같은 표현이 되었어요. 회사 스캔들이나 공인의 과거 문제 같은 걸 파헤칠 때 이 단어를 많이 씁니다.

어떻게 보면 이 표현을 통해 한국 문화에서 무언가 드러날 때의 느낌, 그 충격과 반응을 생생하게 볼 수 있어요. 다음에 한국 친구들이 “파묘”라는 표현을 사용한다면 “아, 숨겨져 있던 부정적인 일이 드러나는구나!”하고 기억해 주세요.

오늘 이야기 들어줘서 감사합니다. 혹시 다른 궁금한 표현이나 주제가 있다면 언제든지 알려 주세요. 그럼 다음 에피소드에서 만나요!

马老师，您好！据我所知，马老师最开始的时候是作为一名老师。但是是在那个时候，你看到你身上什么样的东西？然后让你决定你你想要创业，然后在那个时候呢，你眼中的成功是什么状态？
马：所以我在想啊，我所有教学生的东西，都是我自己书本上学来的。所以我那时候做一个决定呢，为了当一个很好的老师，我就想到社会上花十年时间办一个企业，然后再回学校去教书。我相信我会更受学生欢迎，这是我单纯的想法。第二，我也在证明一件事，假如马云能够成功中国80%的年轻人都能成功。没法学习比尔盖茨，没法学习李嘉诚，他们太大，太强，你也不知道该怎么学了。如果你刚开始做小店，开小饭馆，你的榜样就是你们斜对面那个小饭馆。他们为什么门口排那么多队，而我们家就是服务员比客户多？他是你的榜样，榜样是一点一滴地学上去。但是我知道那时候有一点是肯定的——我失败的概率很大。即使我失败了，我回到大学教那些失败的经历，我还是最好的老师。

翻译translation:
Q:Hello, Mr. Ma! As far as I know, you started as a teacher. May I ask what made you decide to change and create your own business? And then, what was a success in your opinion?

Ma: I realized that all the things I taught are coming from books. Then I made a decision. I was going to spend ten years building a business and then go back to school to teach. I believe that I will be more popular with students, this is my initial idea. Second, I am trying to prove one thing, if Jack Ma can succeed, 80% of young people in China can succeed. You shouldn't take Bill Gates or Li Ka-Shing as your role model, they are legendary entrepreneurs, and you can’t copy the way they succeed. If you are just starting to open a store or a restaurant, your example is the restaurants across the street. Why do they have so long queues at the door, while there are more waiters than customers in our restaurant? They are the ones you need to learn from bit by bit. But I knew one thing for sure at that moment - I will probably fail. Even if I failed, I can go back to college and share these failures with my students, I was still the best teacher.
