					<description><![CDATA[might as well, had better를 둘 다 '~하는 게 낫겠어'라고 생각하시는 분들이 많더라고요. 잘못 쓰면 뉘앙스가 확- 달라지기에 여러분이 두 표현의 뉘앙스 차이를 확실히 아실 수 있도록 준비했습니다.

<hr contenteditable="false" data-ke-type="horizontalRule" data-ke-style="style5" />
<p data-ke-size="size16">*특정 행동을 안 하면 안 좋은 일이 일어날 것 같은 had better: ~하는 게 나을거야/좋을거야</p>
<p style="color: #000000; text-align: justify;" data-ke-size="size16">*주어진 상황에서 최선의 선택일 때 might as well: (어차피/기왕 이렇게 된거) ~하는 것이 낫겠어.</p>
<p style="color: #000000; text-align: justify;" data-ke-size="size16">1. might as well: 주어진 상황에서 최선의 선택일 때 might as well<br />
(어차피/기왕 이렇게 된거) ~하는 것이 좋다<br />
(그냥) ~나 해야겠다, (차라리)~하는 편이 낫다<br />
*Oxford 사전: used to make an unenthusiastic suggestion<br />
*캠브릿지 사전: used to suggest doing something often when there is nothing better to do.</p>
<p>Well, I&#8217;m here now. I might as well get something out of it.<br />
Well, you might as well get something out of it.</p>
<p>2. had better: 특정 행동을 안 하면 안 좋은 일이 일어날 것 같은 had better<br />
~하는 게 좋을거야/나을거야<br />
*롱맨 사전 &#8211; used to give advice about what someone should do<br />
&#8211; used to threaten someone</p>
<p>You better!<br />
상사, 연장자보다는 동급, 내 자신에게 자주 쓰는 had better</p>
<p>I had better = I&#8217;d better<br />
*구어체에선 I better이라고 줄여 쓰기도 해요.<br />
*롱맨 사전: In speech, people usually shorten had to &#8216;d, and may not pronounce it at all.<br />
But do not leave out had or &#8216;d in writing.</p>
<p>I better go now. 나 빨리 가봐야 해.</p>
<p>[비교예문-1]<br />
일을 안 하면 안 좋은 일이 일어날 것 같은 느낌: I&#8217;d better get some work done.<br />
어차피 이렇게 된 거 일이나 해야겠다.: I might as well get some work done.</p>
<p>[비교예문-2]<br />
You better make youself useful (or else).<br />
or else: (협박/경고) 안 그랬단 봐.<br />
*Oxford 사전: used to warn what will happen if something is not carried out</p>
<p>This better not happen again, or else.</p>
<p>Well, you&#8217;re here now. You might as well make yourself useful.<br />
Well, I&#8217;m here. Might as well make myself useful.</p>
<p>[had better를 흔히 쓰는 대상]<br />
1) 부하 직원<br />
A: Relax, Harvey. I&#8217;m all over it.<br />
B: You better be.</p>
<p>*I&#8217;m all over it</p>
<p style="color: #000000; text-align: justify;" data-ke-size="size16">-어떠한 일이나 프로젝트에 엄청난 애정과 열정을 쏟고 있을 때. I&#8217;m all over it / I&#8217;m on top of it.</p>
<p>Better be ready!<br />
Better be perfect!</p>
<p>I know you&#8217;re going through a lot, so I&#8217;ll cut you some slack, but you better pull yourself together sooner rather than later.<br />
(요즘 힘든 거 알아 그래서 좀 봐줄 거야 그러나 조만간 정신 차려야 해)<br />
I can only give you so many chances.<br />
(수많은 기회만 줄 수는 없잖아)</p>
<p>*pull yourself together 마음을 가다듬어/정신차려/진정해<br />
*sooner (rather) than later 조만간, 머지 않아, 곧</p>
<p>&lt;감정적으로 구는 사람에게&gt;<br />
Pull yourself together.</p>
<p>2) 동급(친구)<br />
동사 ghost 잠수타다<br />
*캠브릿지 사전: to end a relationship with someone suddenly by stopping all communication with them.</p>
<p>You better have a good excuse for ghosting me.<br />
You better have a good explanaton for this!</p>
<p>3) 내 자신<br />
I better get back to work.</p>
<p>[had better 보다 부드러운 표현]<br />
강한 조언/경고: 금요일까지 안 끝내면 안 좋은 일이 생길 것 같음.<br />
We&#8217;d better get it done by Friday.<br />
→<br />
&lt;단순히 의무사항을 얘기할 때&gt;<br />
We have to get it done by Friday.<br />
*캠브릿지 사전: We use had better to give specific advice, not to talk about obligations or requirements; instead , we use have to.</p>
<p>(좋은 생각일 것 같다는, 개인적인 견해를 담음) 조언/충고<br />
We should get it done by Friday.</p>
<p>We should get started.</p>
<p>I think we should ~<br />
(내 생각엔 우리가 ~하는 게 좋을 것 같아/~해야 된다고 생각해)<br />
I think we should <a href="https://2days.kr/23/12/12/70758/english/">get it done</a> by Friday.<br />
I think we should get started, anyway.</p>
<p>(좀 더 부드러운)<br />
It would be better to get it done by Friday.<br />
*롱맨 사전: used to give your opinion or make a suggestion about what you think should be done or happen.<br />
Maybe, it&#8217;d be better to push it back a bit.</p>
<p>*심지어 had better의 강한 어조 때문에 had best를 선호하는 사람들도 있엉.<br />
캠브릿지 사전: Sometims people say had best instead of had better,<br />
especially in informal speaking. This sounds slightly less strong and less direct.</p>

<span style="color: #000000; text-align: justify;">10. You might as well go for it.</span></p>
<p data-ke-size="size16">◈ might as well<br />
&#8211; Oxford 사전: used to make an unenthusiastic suggestion<br />
&#8211; Collins 사전: you mean that you will do it although you do not have a strong desire to do it and may even feel slightly unwilling to do it.</p>
<p>주어진 상황에서 최선의 선택일 때 might as well<br />
(어차피/기왕 이렇게 된거) ~하는 것이 좋다<br />
(그냥) ~나 해야겠다, (차라리)~하는 편이 낫다</p>
<p>1. 어차피 할 것도 없는데 영어 공부나 해야겠다<br />
I was gonna sleep in, but now that I&#8217;m up, I might as well do some studying.</p>
<p>I might as well get some work done. 일이나 좀 해야겠다.</p>
<p>&lt;지금 잠이나 자둬야겠다&gt;<br />
I might as well get some sleep now.</p>
<p>2. 어차피 이렇게 된거 저녁을 안 먹는게 낫겠다<br />
It&#8217;s too late, so I might as well skip dinner.</p>
<p>I might as well just have cereal. 그냥 씨리얼이나 먹어야겠다</p>
<p>&lt;커피나 마시죠, 뭐&gt;<br />
Might as well have a cup of coffee.</p>
<p>3. 어차피 그 가격 주고 고칠 거면 새것 사는 게 나을 거 같아<br />
You might as well go get a new one.</p>
<p>But at that price, you might as well go get a new one.</p>
<p>*tech-savvy: 특히 컴퓨터를 잘 다루거나 새로운 기술에 해박한<br />
You might as well wait till ?November and get an iPhone 10.</p>
<p>4. 어차피 배송비 낼 바에야 더 사는 게 나을 때<br />
I might as well order extra to get free shipping.<br />
-an extra는 하나 더 추가로 주문</p>
<p>&lt;&#8216;꽁돈&#8217;이나 다름 없는데 그냥 써버리죠, 뭐&gt;<br />
I might as well spend it. It&#8217;s basically free money.</p>
<p>5. 기왕 이렇게 된거(왔으니) 본전이라도 뽑자<br />
Well, we&#8217;re here now. We might as well get our money&#8217;s worth.</p>
<p>So you might as well get your money&#8217;s worth.</p>
<p>6. 어차피 여기에 온 거 뭐라도 얻어가야겠다<br />
I hate seminars, but now that I&#8217;m here, I might as well get something out of it.</p>
<p>I might as well get something out of it.</p>
<p>&lt;어차피 왔으니 도와드릴게요&gt;<br />
Well, I&#8217;m here. Might as well make yourself useful.</p>
<p>7. 미팅이 미뤄진 김에 할 말 검토하자<br />
A: The meeting got pushed back to 4.<br />
B: Then we might as well use this time to go over the pitch/talking points.</p>
<p>You might as well use that time wisely.</p>
<p>8. 제대로 안 할거면 아예 안 하는 게 낫다<br />
If we don&#8217;t do it the right way, we might as well not do it at all.</p>
<p>&lt;우리끼리 갈 바에야 안 가는 게 나아요&gt;<br />
If we show up without you, we may as well not show up at all.<br />
-may를 써도 돼요.</p>
<p>9. 어쩔수 없이 하는 상황일 때<br />
You might as well get started.</p>
<p>&lt;(어차피 해야할 거) 후딱 하고 끝내버리지, 뭐&gt;<br />
I might as well get it over with.</p>
<p>&lt;미팅에 사람들이 다 오지 않았지만, 다뤄야 할 내용도 많아서 마냥 기다릴 수만은 없을 때&gt;<br />
We have a lot to cover, so we might as well get started.</p>
<p>I might as well get started because I got a lot to cover.
</p>
<p style="color: #000000; text-align: justify;" data-ke-size="size16">*last but not least: 마지막으로, 그렇지만 앞서 말씀드린 것들과 마찬가지로 중요한</p>
<p style="color: #000000; text-align: justify;" data-ke-size="size16">10. 어차피 잃을 것도 없으니 그냥 해봐<br />
You might as well go  for it. I mean, you have nothing to lose.</p>
<p>&lt;어차피 곧 떠나니 그냥 용기내 고백해봐&gt;<br />
She&#8217;s leaving soon, so it&#8217;s over anyways. You might as well go for it.</p>
<p>&lt;짐캐리 연설&gt;<br />
You can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.<br />
하고 싶지 않은 일을 하면서도 실패할 수 있다. 그러니 좋아하는 일을 해보는 것이 낫다.</p>
