봐주다 영어로 – Cut One Slack (0513 내 최애 한국 음식 My Favorite Foods in Korea: Mapo Mandu 파워 잉글리쉬 스크립트)

Kristen: Okay, it’s time for Power Note. We’re going to do a quick review. If a place is a stone’s throw from somewhere, it means that it’s very close.

1)

A: Is that the river I see from your window?

B: Yeah, I’m just a stone’s throw from the Han.

Kristen: Yeah, the Han River. So I’m close to the Han River.

2) Hurry up. We’re only a stone’s throw from the campsite.

서둘러, 캠핑장이 코앞이야.

Cameron: We’re very close. Very Close.

Kristen: I remember I was a stone’s throw from Namsan.

Cameron: Wow, really?

Kristen: Yeah, it would maybe take 10 minutes to get there. That’s pretty close, you know, for being in Seoul.

Cameron: Yeah. Do you, what, are you a stone’s throw away from anything now?

Kristen: Now not so much. It’s pretty residential. Yeah, maybe a mountain, a small mountain.

Cameron: Yeah, like those small mountains. I guess I’m a stone’s throw away from Anyangcheon, which is not that big. It’s bigger than you think. But it’s not huge. I think one thing to kind of note is that if it is too close, you cannot say it again. So for example, like we’ll go back to 안양천, it takes me about 15 minutes walking to get there. Faster if I run or bike so that would be considered a stone’s throw. However, there is a closer 천. There’s a 도림천, which takes like a 30-45 seconds for me to get there. It is too close. It’s too close to say a stone’s throw away. It is right next to you, you cannot say it’s stone’s throw. There has to be a little bit of a distance. (돌을 힘껏 던졌을 때의 거리를 의미. 너무 가까운 거리에는 a stone’s throw를 쓰지 않음)

Kristen: You have to be able to kind of throw that stone Kind of far.

Cameron: like you’re using your real strength. Not that you’re kind of like, 에헤이… Just barely throwing the stone. It needs to be like full strength throw.

Kristen: That’s so great. Okay. So that’s a stone’s throw from now cut someone. Some slack means to be easy or to be forgiving of someone. Not so understanding. Not so harsh

1)

A: is Michael late again. He should really be reprimanded.

B: Cut him some slack. He has to take care of three kids while his wife is sick.

A: 마이클이 또 지각했나요? 그는 정말 질책을 받아야 해.

B: 좀 봐줘요. 아내가 아픈 동안 세 아이를 돌봐야 하잖아요.

Kristen: Reprimand means scold, 혼내다. So like, oh, come on. He’s going through a lot.

2) Cut me some slack. I’ve been up all night.

사정좀 봐줘. 난 밤을 꼬박 새웠다구.

Kristen: Why are you so slow today?

Cameron: Why are you yawning?

Kristen: Why are you yawning? Why are you dozing off?

Cameron: Why does your hair look bad? Why do you smell? Why didn’t you take a shower? Cut me some slack. I was up all night.

Kristen: Right. Okay. Cut me some slack. So let’s give another example of like, cut me some slack.

Cameron: Yeah, so yeah, if you want to say cut me some slack. You know just anything where you’ve worked really hard and then someone is being. Let’s say for example you worked all day. And then you come home and now your spouse husband or wife right want you to clean, to cook, wants you do a full laundry, wants you play with kids, want you to take off the trash. Gosh, got me some slack. Can I relax a little bit? (퇴근하고 기진맥진해 돌아온 배우자에게, 뭐 해달라고 잔소리할 때)

Kristen: Well, you know, the same goes for the wife, too, if it’s a working wife.

Cameron: Oh yeah, it’s both sides, both sides.

Kristen: Cut me some slack. Cut me some slack. You know, I mean, mothers say this all the time. Because, you know, they’ve got always so many things to do. It’s like, come on. Cut me some slack.

Cameron: I feel like some students want to say this to their teachers. Come on, I have homework in five classes. Yeah. Cut us some slack.

Kristen: Yeah, that’s right.

Cameron: Like extend the deadline.

Kristen: That’s right. That’s right. Okay. All right. Follow someone’s lead is basically to do as someone else does.

1)

A: When the border guard starts asking questions, follow my lead.

B: It sounds like you’ve crossed this border before.

A: 국경수비대가 질문을 시작하면 제 안내에 따라주세요.

B: 이 국경을 넘은 적이 있는 것 같네요.

So just watch what I do and do the same thing that I do.

2) If you want to learn how to dance, just follow my lead.

춤을 배우고 싶다면, 그냥 나를 따라하세요

Cameron: Yeah, so true.

Kristen: So just do what I do. Yeah. Okay.

Cameron: I feel like as a foreigner in Korea, this happens a lot. Like, especially when I first came here, there are things that I like, a wedding or funeral or culturally, things that are very unknown to me. Sure. My friends would be, I’ll just follow my lead, do what I do.

Kristen: Just follow me. Follow my lead. So it’s especially when it’s not so much that someone is actually taking the lead, but it’s that someone knows what they’re doing and they can kind of guide you, but they’re not meant to be the leader. It’s just like, okay, if you don’t know, then I’ll show you a little.

Cameron: Bit yeah like for example; you go to like a sandwich shop yeah burrito shop, the first time you have to order a sandwich and get all the toppings and then do you want chips and a coke, like all of those things. That’s confusing. So you like go with a friend.

Kristen: Yeah, that’s right.

Cameron: Because a friend will be like, I’ll follow my lead.

Kristen: Like in LA, when you get a burrito, it’s like, okay, what do you want in there? Okay, I want like this and then salsa. There are different combinations.

Cameron: You want white rice, do you want—

Kristen: Green salsa, red salsa.

Cameron: Flower rice, red sauce, green sauce.

Kristen: Guacamole

Cameron: Black beans.

Kristen: Brown beans. Sour reams

Cameron: Re-fried beans. chicken
