영어 공부를 위해 시트콤 <굿 플레이스>를 보고있습니다. 이 작품은 영어 회화를 배우는데 적격이라는 이야기가 많아 입문하게 되었는데요. 처음 한 두편은 제 취향이 아닌것 같았지만 보다보니 재미가 들렸습니다.  게다가 제가 즐겨본 <프렌즈>를 통해 익힌 표현과 영어 회화 책을 통해 익힌 표현이  이 작품에도 나와서 재밌게 감상하고 있는데요. 반복되는 표현과 익히고 싶은 문장을 기록합니다.  :)

 


 

 

 

Scene 1 

(...)

Resident: Just so I'm clear, we're not pairing them up this time?

Michael: Corret. Obviously, the eventual goal is to get them to torture each other.

 

pair (someone) up with (someone) : 

  1. :  to join (a person) with (another person) for a purpose, job, etc.
  • They paired me up with a new partner for the last game. 
  • I'd love to pair up with a new partner. 

 

Scene 2

(...)

Chidi: Oh, well, you know...
stomach's in knots, I'm stress-grinding my teeth,
and it feels like my soul is being suffocated.
You know, your standard paradise stuff.
How about you?

 

someone's stomach is in knots:

  1. : used to say that a person has an unpleasant and tight feeling in the stomach, usually from nervousness
  • Her stomach was in knots as she awaited the start of competition.
  • Her stomach was in knots as she unlocked the door.

 

Scene 3

(...)

Tahani: Michael, hello. 
Yes, I'm having a splendid time. Although, if I'm being honest,
a few aspects of my day have been sub-optimal.

 

suboptimal:

  1. less than the best or most desirable
  • working under suboptimal conditions
  • received suboptimal care
