The deluge 홍수 (창세기 7:10)

그림설명: 
그림 저작권: V.

성경구절

상징적으로 홍수는 수적으로 압도적으로 차이가 나는 무언가를 뜻합니다.

기원과 적용

“deluge”는 홍수입니다. 노아의 시대에, 세상은 폭력과 죄악으로 가득 차 있었습니다. 그래서 하나님께서는 미리 예비하라고 하셔서 만든 방주에 탄 노아의 가족을 제외한 모든 인류를 대홍수로 쓸어 버리셨습니다. 비는 밤낮없이 사십일 동안이나 내려 모든 살아있는 창조물들을 없앴습니다. 그래서 “대홍수”라고 불렸습니다. 홍수는 수적으로 월등히 압도되는 무언가를 상징적으로 뜻하기도 합니다. “IPO deluge”는 회사들이 대 호황을 누릴 때 주식시장의 리스트에 오르기위해 경쟁하는 기간을 나타냅니다.

예시

Stranded Lantau residents who remain without running water and transport services more than 48 hours after the weekend deluge say they are running out of patience with the government. 48시간 이상 배수도 되지 않고 교통시설도 마비된 상태에 고립되어 있던 “Stranded Lantau”의 거주자들은 주말내내 있었던 홍수를 겪은 후 그들은 정부를 향해 인내의 한계를 느끼고 있다고 말했습니다.
