Washington Post 윤석열 인터뷰 원문
H형!
국민의힘 대변인이 4월 24일자 Washington Post 윤석열 인터뷰에 주어 생략으로 오류가 있다고 해서, Washington Post에서 원문을 찾아 보았습니다.
인터뷰 전문 중 첫 단락과 마지막 단락, 그리고 문제가 있다는 부분(굵은 줄 친 부분)을 옮깁니다.
인터뷰 기자는 Michelle Ye Hee Lee라는 이름으로 미루어 한국계로 보이고, 그녀는 도쿄에 주재하는 모양입니다.
‘주어 논란’이 있다는 부분을 각자 해석해 보기로 합시다. 내게는 영어 주어 ‘I’가 보이는데, 주어가 생략되었다는 주장이 대체 무언지?

SEOUL — President Biden and his South Korean counterpart, Yoon Suk Yeol, don’t have a whole lot in common.
They come from different ends of the political spectrum. Biden is liberal and a lifelong politician, while conservative Yoon first entered politics only two years ago to run for president. Being a father and grandfather is central to Biden’s identity; Yoon didn’t get married until he was 51 and has no children.

During the nearly 90-minute interview, Yoon spoke at length about his decision on Japan, saying he had been transparent about his intentions during his campaign. South Korea’s security concerns were too urgent to delay cooperation with Tokyo, he said, adding that some critics would never be convinced.
“Europe has experienced several wars for the past 100 years and despite that, warring countries have found ways to cooperate for the future,” he said. “I can’t accept the notion that because of what happened 100 years ago, something is absolutely impossible [to do] and that they [Japanese] must kneel [for forgiveness] because of our history 100 years ago. And this is an issue that requires decision. … In terms of persuasion, I believe I did my best.”

Yoon said he has long been fascinated by the U.S. constitutional system and its global impact, and he enjoyed American songs and television shows growing up. Now, as president, he has a gift from Biden that he keeps on his desk — a copy of Harry S. Truman’s plaque that reads: “The buck stops here!”
