Lesson 29
오늘은 짧지만 굉장히 유용하게 사용할 수 있는 표현들을 모아서 여러 상황별로 나누어서
대화를 만들어 봤습니다.
*Situation 1
Go ahead/After you=(양보의 뜻으로) 먼저 가(세요)/먼저 타세요
두 사람이 동시에 엘리베이터를 타려고 하는 상황이 벌어 졌을 때 "먼저 타세요"라고 하고 싶을때 사용합니다. (줄을 서 있을 때에도 제 앞으로 먼저 가세요 라고 할 때도 위의 표현을 사용합니다).
a.Go ahead (first~)
(먼저 가세요/타세요)
b.Thank you
(감사합니다)
----------------------
a.After you~
(먼저 가세요/타세요)
b.Thank you
(감사합니다)
"Go ahead"는 first는 "먼저 식사 하세요" 라고 할 때도 사용 될 수 있습니다.
a.If you are hungry, why don't you go ahead and eat first?
=If you are hungry, why don't you eat first?
솔직히 위의 두 문장은 같은 뜻을 나타내고 있지만 약간의 "뉘앙스" 차이가 있습니다.
"Go ahead"를 사용하시면 "먼저 ~하다"가 더욱 강조 해주게 됩니다.
(죄송합니다, 솔직히 말해 어떤 뉘앙스 차이가 있는지 한국말로 잘 설명하기가
쉽지 않네요. 하지만 여러가지의 예문을 접하시다 보면 조금은 감이 올 것입니다)
a.What time do you want to get together?
(몇시에 만날까?)
b.It's up to you
(너 맘데로 해/니가 결정해)
a.Up to me? Don't you have to finish up your research paper?
(내가 알아서 하라고? 너 리서치 논문 끝내야 하는거 아니야?)
b.Actually I do
(그렇긴 해)
a.Then why don't you go ahead and finish it up first? Then we'll hang out.
(그러면 먼저 그거 끝내는게 어때? 그 다음에 놀지 뭐)
b.That's a good idea~
(그거 좋은 생각이다)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Situation 2
On the dot=~시 정각
a.What time is it now?
(지금 몇시야?)
b.It's 3 o'clock now
(3시)
a.You mean, 3pm on the dot?
(3시 정각이라고?)
b.Yap
(응)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Situation 3
Sharp=정각
a.What time do you want to get together?
(몇시에 만날까?)
b.At 3 o'clock sharp~
(3시 정각에)
a.Alright, i'll see you then~
(그래, 그럼 그때 보자)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Situation 4
(On the phone...) You have(=got) the wrong number
a.Is jd there?
(jd 있어요?)
b.jd? No one by that name lives here. I think you got/have the wrong number~
(그런 사람 여기 안사는데요/없는데요~) (전화 잘못 거신거 같네요)
a.Oops, my mistake. Sorry about that.
(제가 실수 했네요. 죄송합니다)
b.It's ok~
(괜찮아요)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Situation 5
Running late=늦다(늦게 가다)
a.(talking on the phone) I'm calling to let you know that I'm running a little
bit late to our 5 o'clock appointment. Sorry about that...
(5시 약속에 좀 늦을거 같아 전화하는거야. 미한하다)
b.It's ok, don't worry about it~
(괜찮아. 걱정하지마)
a.But I'll try to get/be there by 5:20, though~
(= I'll try to make it there by 5:20, though~)
(5시 20분 까지는 가도록 노력할께)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Situation 6
Picky=까다롭다
a.Have you decided what you'd want to cook for dinner tonight?
(저녁에 뭐 만들지 결정했어?)
b.Not yet...
(아직...)
a.Why not?
(왜?)
b.Because Paul is very picky about food, so I can't just cook anything~
(폴이 좀 음식에 까다롭거던...그래서 아무 음식이나 할 수가 없어..)
a.He's a picky eater, huh?
(입맛이 까다로워?)
b.You got that right~
(그렇다니까...(그래))

A Letter From jd
Dear my newspaper readers,
[People are put on this earth for a reason and you utilize
the time that you are here. You'll never know when that's
gonna be taken away from you. While I am here and while you
are here, I'd like to make an impact on YOUR LIFE...and
I want YOU to make an impact on MY LIFE, too.]
when you guys are reading my English paper and improving
your english skills, I guess, I can say that I'm making an
impact on your life. ^^ And because I enjoy the fact that
more and more people are reading my English paper, I push
myself extra harder to write better papers. That goes to
show that all my subscribers, (yah, you guys ^^), are making an
impact on my life. For that, I am very thankful to you all~
(To tell you the truth, writing this paper is pretty much the
only thing that I enjoy these days.YvY)
-jd-
