Please don't take it the wrong way
* take something the wrong way = to be offended by a remark because you have understood it wrongly
Tim : Well, may I be quite honest with you? And please don't take it the wrong way.
응, 내가 솔직하게 말해도 돼? 그리고 또 오해는 하지 마.
Ross : Sure. Put it to me straight. 그래. 나에게 솔직하게 말해봐.
eg) I didn't mean a thing by that. Please don't take it the wrong way.
그 말에 별 뜻은 없었어. 오해하지 말아줘.
I have two left feet
* 이 표현은 발로 하는 운동이나 춤에 소질이 없다는 의미...
* have two left feet = (informal) to be very clumsy
Tim : Would you like to go dancing tonight? 오늘 춤추러 갈래?
Kate : Sorry, but I can't dance. I have two left feet. 미안하지만 난 춤 못춰. 몸치야.
Tim : Are you really that bad at dancing? 정말 그렇게 춤을 못 춰?
Kate : Oh yeah, I step on my partners' toes all the time. 응, 늘 상대방의 발을 밟아.
eg) He isn't very good at sports because he was born with two left feet.
그는 스포츠에 소질이 없어서 운동을 잘 못한다.
eg) Ross has got two left feet when it comes to soccer. 축구에 관해서라면 로스는 소질이 없어.
I can't carry a tune
* carry a tune = to sing correctly
Tim : Sing a sone, man. 이봐, 노래 한곡 불러봐.
Ross : I'm sorry but I can't carry a tune in a bucket. 미안하지만 난 음치야.
Tim : Oh, come on, go ahead and sing something. 그러지 말고, 뭐든지 한 곡 불러봐.
Ross : All right, if you insist. 정 그렇다면 좋아.
.
eg) I don't like music. I can't carry a tune. 난 음악을 좋아하지 않아. 난 음치거든
I ran into old buddy on the street
* run into = (informal) to meet someone by chance
Tim : What a pleasant surprise running into you. 너를 이렇게 마주치게 될 줄은 정말 몰랐어.
Ross : Long time no see. How have you been? 정말 오랜만이에요. 어떻게 지냈어요?
Tim : I ran into an old buddy of mine yesterday. 어제 옛날 친구를 우연히 만났어.
Kate : Really? Who? That must have been terrific. 정말? 누구? 진짜 반가웠겠네.
Tim : Guess who I ran into at lunch today? 오늘 점심 시간에 내가 누굴 만났는지 알아?
Mariah : I haven't any idea. Who? 글쎄, 모르겠는데요. 누군데요?
Tim : Your boyfriend. He was going into the restaurant when I was leaving.
니 남친. 내가 식당에서 막 나가려는데 들어오더라고.
eg) Guess who I ran into in downtown today! 오늘 시내에서 누굴 만났는지 알아?
I keep on bumping into you
* bump into 는 누군가를 [우연히 만나다](meet by chance)라는 의미...
* bump into = to meet someone that you know when you were not expecting to
Tim : Why do I keep on bumping into you? 왜 내가 당신과 자주 마주치죠?
Kate : It could be a coincidence. 그건 우연의 일치에요.
Tim : I think it's fate! 내 생각엔 운명인 것 같네요.
Tim : You'll never guess who I bumped into? 내가 누굴 만났는지 상상도 못할걸.
Ross : I have no clue. Who did you meet? 모르겠는데. 누굴 만났어?
Tim : Mariah, your old girlfriend. 마리아, 니 옛 여자친구.
eg) As I was coming out of the office, I bumped into the boss.
사무실에서 나올 때, 사장과 마주쳤어.
