Cord-cutting
의미: Canceling traditional cable or satellite TV in favor of streaming services.
Cord-cutting refers to the mass migration from expensive cable TV packages to streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+. A 'cord-cutter' is someone who's ditched cable entirely. It reflects a generational shift — many younger Americans have never had cable TV at all, making them 'cord-nevers.'
예문
- We started cord-cutting last year and saved $150 a month. 去年我们剪了线,每月省了150美元。Cancelamos el cable el año pasado y ahorramos 150 dólares al mes.去年ケーブルを解約したら月150ドル節約できたよ。작년에 케이블 끊었더니 한 달에 150달러를 절약했어.
- My parents finally tried cord-cutting and they don't miss cable at all. 我爸妈终于剪了线,完全不想念有线电视。Mis padres por fin dejaron el cable y no lo echan de menos en absoluto.うちの親もついにケーブルを切って、全然ケーブルが恋しくないって。우리 부모님도 드디어 케이블을 끊었는데, 전혀 그립지 않대.
- With all these streaming subscriptions, cord-cutting isn't even saving money anymore. 订了这么多流媒体之后,剪线也没省到钱了。Con todas estas suscripciones de streaming, dejar el cable ya ni siquiera sale más barato.ストリーミングの契約をたくさん入れたら、ケーブル解約しても結局節約になってないんだよね。스트리밍 구독을 이것저것 하다 보면 케이블 끊어도 결국 절약이 안 되더라.

✗ 잘못된 표현
- The irony of cord-cutting is that multiple streaming subscriptions can cost as much as cable — don't claim it's always cheaper without doing the math剪线的讽刺之处在于,多个流媒体订阅加起来可能跟有线电视一样贵——不算笔账就别说一定更省钱La ironía de dejar el cable es que múltiples suscripciones de streaming pueden costar lo mismo — no afirmes que siempre sale más barato sin hacer númerosケーブル解約の皮肉は、ストリーミングの複数契約がケーブルと同じくらいかかり得ること——計算もせずに「必ず安くなる」とは言わないこと코드 커팅의 아이러니는 여러 스트리밍 구독료가 케이블만큼 나올 수 있다는 것이다——계산을 해보지 않고 무조건 더 싸다고 주장하지 마라
