“The book, which was recommended by my professor, turned out to be one of the most insightful I have ever read.”
🇰🇷 한국어 번역
“교수님이 추천해주신 그 책은 내가 읽은 것 중 가장 통찰력 있는 것 중 하나임이 밝혀졌다.”
📝 Grammar Breakdown / 문법 설명
English
“Which was recommended by my professor” is a non-defining relative clause (note the commas). It adds extra information about “the book” but is not essential for identifying which book. “Turned out to be” means “proved to be” or “was discovered to be.” “One of the most insightful I have ever read” uses superlative + present perfect.
한국어
“Which was recommended by my professor”는 비한정 관계절(쉼표에 주목)입니다. “the book”에 대한 추가 정보를 더하지만 어떤 책인지 식별하는 데 필수적이지 않습니다. “turned out to be”는 “~임이 밝혀졌다”를 의미합니다. “one of the most insightful I have ever read”는 최상급 + 현재완료를 사용합니다.
