Hanundae Sand Festival

 

In May 2024, an eco-friendly exhibition featuring sand as its main material was held at Haeundae Beach.

The theme of this event was "A Grand Museum in Sand." 

Visitors could see famous paintings that were recreated as sand sculptures.

Twelve sand sculptors recreated works of art including "The Creation of Adam," "The Gleaners," and "The Last Supper."

The level of detail was so incredible that it was hard to believe they were made of sand.

The sculptures were crafted so vividly that they seemed to come to life, which left visitors in awe.

 

좋은 포인트 짚었어! 맞아, **"leave + 사람 + in awe"**는 아주 자주 쓰이는 자연스러운 표현이야. 영어에서 **"leave someone in awe"**는 어떤 것이 누군가에게 깊은 감탄을 느끼게 하다, 경외감을 안기다는 뜻으로 쓰여.

✅ 구조 정리:

• leave + 사람 + in + 감정/상태
  → 누군가를 어떤 감정이나 상태에 빠지게 만들다

예시:

• The movie left me in tears.
  → 그 영화는 나를 눈물 짓게 만들었어.
• The performance left the audience speechless.
  → 그 공연은 관객들을 말문이 막히게 만들었어.
• The view left us in awe.
  → 그 풍경은 우리에게 경외감을 안겨주었어.

 

Above all, it was fascinating to see how works of art could be crafted out of sand.

Also, experiencing the exhibition by the shore rather than in a traditional gallery was a refreshing change of pace.

 

문장에서 “a refreshing change of pace” 라는 표현은 하나의 **관용구(idiom)**로 쓰인 거야. 여기서 **“pace”**는 직역하면 “속도, 보조, 걸음걸이” 같은 뜻이지만, 이 표현에서는 “일상적인 흐름이나 방식” 정도로 해석하면 돼.

✅ 전체 표현 해석:

"a refreshing change of pace"
→ “일상에서 벗어난 신선한 변화”, 또는 “색다르고 신선한 변화”

✅ 문장 전체 해석:

"Also, experiencing the exhibition by the shore rather than in a traditional gallery was a refreshing change of pace."
→ “또한 전통적인 전시관이 아니라 해변가에서 전시를 경험한 것은 신선하고 색다른 변화였다.”
