SHORT WAVE

Understanding the joy that many find in sadness

팟캐스트 영어단어 정리

Sadness is more than just a negative emotion.

there was this beautiful melody that sat on top.

*stray (자기도 모르게) 제 위치[길]를 벗어나다

it never strays far from that position.

*entice [ɪnˈtaɪs] [ɪnˈtaɪs](보통 무엇을 제공하며) 유도[유인]하다 (=persuade)

Yet all of these efforts to evoke sadness are also meant to entice a listener.

*aesthetic[ es|θetɪk ] (학문 분야로서) 미학

We’re designed to want to avoid sadness in everyday life but in aesthetics, we actively seek it out.

*vicarious[ vaɪ|keriəs ] (느낌·경험이) 대리의[간접적인]

Vicarious sadness can make a person more realistic, and it can bring solace.

I feel like he understands what I’m going through .

Empathy tends to be strongly correlated with the enjoyment of sad music.

I’ll fake it through the day.

*solace 위안, 위로

It can bring solace.

*take on (특정한 특질·모습 등을) 띠다

Music can actually propel a narrative and take on a persona.

That’s clearly the case in the movie ET.

*at the ripe old age 고령의 나이에

Even now, at the ripe old age I am, I cannot watch that film without crying.

It’s a lot to do with the music.

He values his sadness.

I have to take the bad with the good.

*fall apart 다 허물어질[부서질] 정도이다, 결딴나다

It was fine, but it just fell apart.
