collaborate
기본적인 collaborate 뜻부터 살펴보면, ‘협력하다, 공동 작업하다’입니다. 누구와 협력하는지는 with, 어떤 프로젝트를 함께 하는지는 on으로 연결하는 것이 핵심입니다.
collaborate는 어떤 전치사·명사와 결합해야 실제 업무 영어에서 자연스러울까요?
먼저 잡아 두는 기본 쓰임
| 의미 | 품사 | 핵심 결합 | 대표 문맥 | 짧은 예문 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 협력하다 | 자동사 | collaborate with + 사람·조직 | 부서 간 협력 | We collaborated with the sales team. |
| 공동 작업하다 | 자동사 | collaborate on + 프로젝트·과업 | 프로젝트 공동 작업 | They collaborated on the proposal. |
업무 현장에서 붙여 쓰는 collaborate 조합
with 뒤에는 협업 상대가, on 뒤에는 공동으로 수행하는 일이 옵니다. 상대와 과업을 모두 밝히려면 collaborate with A on B로 결합하면 됩니다.
| 핵심 연어 | 쓰이는 상황 | 자연스러운 예문 |
|---|---|---|
| collaborate with a team | 다른 팀과 협업 | The developers collaborated with the design team. |
| collaborate with a client | 고객사와 공동 진행 | We will collaborate with the client to revise the design. |
| collaborate on a project | 특정 프로젝트 수행 | Three departments collaborated on the relocation project. |
| collaborate on a proposal | 제안서 공동 작성 | Mina and Carlos collaborated on the new proposal. |
| collaborate closely with | 긴밀한 협업 강조 | Our staff collaborated closely with the software vendor. |
| collaborate across departments | 여러 부서를 아우르는 협력 | Employees must collaborate across departments to meet the deadline. |
| collaborate with A on B | 협업 상대와 과업을 함께 명시 | Marketing collaborated with a local agency on the campaign. |
We collaborated the project.
We collaborated on the project.
한국어의 ‘프로젝트를 공동 작업하다’를 그대로 옮겨 the project를 목적어로 붙이면 어색합니다. collaborate는 자동사이므로 프로젝트 앞에 on이 필요합니다.
사람에는 with, 프로젝트에는 on
-
collaborate with + 사람·팀·회사
The accounting department collaborated with an outside consultant.
-
collaborate on + 프로젝트·보고서·캠페인
The two branches collaborated on a customer survey.
-

-
collaborate to + 동사원형

TOEIC 빈칸에서 뒤에 사람이 보인다고 무조건 with를 고르기보다, 전치사 바로 뒤 명사가 ‘협업 상대’인지 ‘공동 과업’인지 먼저 판단해야 합니다.
