not real but seems real
연어
phantom limb
|phantom pain
|phantom income
|phantom pregnancy
|phantom vibration

a phantom of his former self
|a phantom of a smile
|a phantom of her old life
유의어
shadow (Common metaphor for a weak remnant; 'phantom' sounds more poetic and suggests something almost gone or insubstantial.)
