Don't sweat it!
* (spoken) used to tell someone not to worry about something
Mariah : I sure didn't do well on that final exam. 기말고사를 잘 못봤어요.
Tim : Don't sweat it! No one else did, either. 걱정하지 마! 다들 못 봤으니까.
Ross : We really did a poor job in last month's sales campaign.
지난달 세일즈 캠페인은 완전히 실패였어.
Tim : Don't sweat it. We'll do a lot better next month. 걱정마. 다음달엔 훨씬 더 잘 할거야.
Jay : When are you going to marry? You're already 40. 언제 결혼할거야? 벌써 40이잖아.
Ross : Don't sweat it. There's a lid for every pot. 걱정하지마. 짚신도 짝이 있어.
eg) Don't sweat it, I'll lend you the money. 걱정 마! 내가 돈 빌려줄게.
Don't lose sleep over it
* lose sleep over 는 구어체에서 [...에 대해 잠이 안 올 정도로 걱정하다]란 의미...
* (spoken) used to tell someone not to worry about something
Tim : Did you see the late night movie on channel 30 last night?
어젯밤 30번에서 한 심야영화 봤니?
Mariah : No. I was working late last night. What was on?
아니. 어젯밤 늦게까지 일했거든. 뭐 했는데?
Tim : "Face-off" 페이스오프
Mariah : I'm really sorry. 정말 아쉽네.
Tim : Don't lose sleep over it. They're playing it again next Saturday.
너무 걱정하지마. 담주 토욜에 다시 해준데.
Same old stuff
Tim : Hey, Ross! What's up? 이봐, 로스! 어떻게 지내?
Ross : Oh, the same old stuff. 응, 늘 그렇지 뭐.
Tim : That's what I thought, you loser. How about going to a party with me tonight?
그럴 줄 알았어. 이 재미없는 놈아. 오늘밤에 파티에 함께 가는 게 어때?
Ross : You serious? 정말이야?
Tim : Who else is going to rescue your sorry ass?
어느 누가 너같은 한심한 바보를 구제해 주겠니?
the same old 는 [흔히 있는] 이라는 의미입니다. stuff 대신 thing 을 사용할 수 있습니다.
the same old thing
위 대화에서 sorry 는 [형편없는][초라한]이라는 의미로, ass 는 [바보(fool)]라는 의미로 쓰였습니다.
Tim : What have you been up to lately? 요즘 무슨 일을 하고 있니?
Mariah : The same old thing - a lot of work as usual. 늘 같죠. 보통 때처럼 일이 많아요.
Let's bury the hatchet
* bury the hatchet = to agree to stop arguing about something and become friends again
Ross : Hey, I'm sorry to lay you down. 실망시켜서 미안해.
Tim : That's all right, I'm sorry, too. 됐어. 나도 미안해.
Ross : I won't let this happen again. 다시는 이런 일이 없도록 할게.
Tim : Okay, let's bury the hatchet. 됐어. 우리 화해하자.
You're wasting your breath
* waste your breath = (spoken) to say something that has no effect
Tim : I've told him a thousand times, but he never listens. 천번을 말해도, 그는 듣질 않는다.
Ross : You're wasting your breath. He's hopeless.
괜히 헛수고 하지 마. 걔는 구제불능이야.
Ross : I'm having a date with Mariah on Friday. 금요일에 마리아랑 데이트 있는데.
I was wondering if I could borrow the car from Tim. 팀한테 차를 빌릴 수 있을지 모르겠네.
Kate : That car means a lot to him. Don't waste your breath.
그 차가 걔한테 얼마나 소중한 건데, 말해봤자 소용없어.
