Meet Sydney, a Consultant in Bain Chicago

 

1. what makes [ ] tick : 특정 행동을 하는 이유 / 동기

tick은 시계의 "째깍" 혹은 체크 표시를 "틱" 하는 것처럼 가볍고 짧은 소리를 가리킨다.

그래서 어떤 행동의 계기가 된 순간을 그런 소리가 나는 것에 비유한 것이다. 

- And getting to understand what makes them tick and what they're passionate about is a really great opportunity.

- I don't understand what made him tick. (걔가 무슨 계기로 그러는지 이해가 안 돼.)

- You mean this is what makes her tick? 

- We need to understand what makes students tick.

 

2. take N to heart : 마음에 새기다

마음으로 가져오는 것이니, 진심으로 받아들인다는 뜻이다.

남의 조언을 깊이 새기거나, 누군가의 비판에 상처를 받는 등 다양한 의미로 사용할 수 있다.

- We really take our clients' needs to heart, and so when you're going through the process, you always have to have that answer-first focus.

 heart : /hɑːt/

 

3. associate  /əˈsəʊ.ʃi.ət/  : a partner or colleague in business or at work

- I was also a summer associate here two summers ago. (2년 전 여름에는 이곳에서 인턴 생활을 하기도 했다.)

- Simillar : coworker, workmate 

- He arranged for a close associate to take control of the institute. 

- verb  /əˈsəʊ.si.eɪt/ : connect (someone or something) with something else in one's mind

- Most people associate this brand with good quality.

 

4. impactful : having a powerful effect on a situation or person (임팩트 있는)

- The most impactful, I think, was helping them develop a communication system for all of their employees across all three organizations.

- I'm trying to use my time in a more impactful way. 

- And that communication and internal marketing that we helped them develop was extremely impactful for them.

 

5. walk [ ] through : 과정을 함께 하며 알려주다

마치 누군가의 곁에서 보조(walk)를 맞춰 주는 것처럼, 어떤 것을 이해/학습할 수 있도록 이끌어 주는 것을 walk through라고 한다.

- Getting to walk them through that process was a great experience.

- Adam walked me through the procedure.

- I can walk you through the document.
