Brandon's Workroom

다들 그렇게 말해요.

That's what everybody tells me.

다시 생각해보니, 너가 맞는 것 같아.

On second thought, you have a point.

사진 잘 나왔다.

You came out great.

싸다. 완전 거저예요.

That's a steal.

생각 좀 해 볼게요.

Let me sleep on it.

말 돌리지 마.

Stop beating around the bush.

본론만 얘기해.

Just get to the point.

너 때문에 미치겠다.

You're driving me crazy.

피자 배달시켜 먹자.

Let's send out for a pizza.

기분전환으로 바람 쐬러 나가자.

Let's get out for a change.

제가 알기로는

As far as I know,

처음 듣는 소리네.

That's news to me.

그녀가 알면 불같이 화낼 것 같아.

She'll blow her top if she finds out.

나한테 맡겨.

Leave it to me.

목소리 낮춰. 조용히 해.

Keep your voice down.

아무한테도 말하지 마.

Don't tell a soul.

너 (옷차림) 멋지다.

You look sharp.

이제 먹자.

Let's dig in.

그 얘긴 그만하자.

Let's drop the subject.

난 말주변이 없어.

I'm not much of a talker.

난 술 잘 못해요.

I'm not much of a drink.

자책하지마.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

우리끼리 비밀인데,

Just between you and me,

카카오톡이 한국인에게 정말 인기야.

Kakaotalk is all the rage among Korean people.

너 그렇게 안하는게 좋아.

You don't wanna do that.

찾기 쉬워

You can't miss it.

뭐 대단하다고.

What's the big deal?

내몸이 아니야

I'm not feeling like myself.

설상가상으로

To top it off,

실컷 쇼핑할거야?

Will you shop till you drop?

원샷!

Bottoms up!

온몸이 쑤셔.

I ache all over.

너도 이제 한물갔어.

You're over the hill now.

그가 내탓으로 돌렸어.

He was trying to put the blame on me.

잘 해결되길 바래.

Hope it works out for you.

같은 처지네.

We're in the same boat.

고마워, 정말 큰 힘이 되네.

Thanks. That means a lot to me.

너무 어려워. 너무 벅차.

It's too much for me.

아마도.

I guess so.

익숙해지려 해봐.

Try to get used to it.

항상 말이 행동보다 쉽지.

It's always easier said than done.

맞춰봐.

Take a guess.

날 뭘로 보는 거야.

What do you take me for?

Python 에서 List 는 다음과 같은 모양이다.

a = [ 3 , 10 , -1 ]

로 assign 하면 print(a) 코드 작성시 [3, 10, -1] 을 얻을 수 있다.

element를 추가하는 방법은

a.append("hello") 코딩시

[3, 10, -1, "hello"] 를 나타낸다.

a.pop() 으로 실행시 맨 마지막 element 가 제거된다.

현 상태에서 a.pop() 실행시 [3, 10, -1] 만 List에 남는다.

element를 얻어내는 방법은

a[0] 은 3, a[2] = -1 을 가르킨다.

a[0] = 100 으로 지정시

[100, 10, -1] 로 첫번째 element를 바꿀 수 있다.

이전에 했던 switch 하는 방법을 활용하면 예를 들어

b = [ "banana", "apple", "beer"]

banana와 beer의 자리를 바꾸고자 한다면

temp = b[0]

b[0] = b[2]

b[2] = temp

로 코딩시 해결할 수 있다.

다른 방법으로는 

b[0], b[2] = b[2], b[0]

로도 가능하다.

크리스마스가 코앞으로 다가왔어.

Christmas is just around the corner.

넌 잘하고 있어.

You're on the right track.

지금부턴 과거에 연연하지 않고 살려고 해.

From now on, I'll try not to live in the past.

저녁 준비됐어. 와서 밥 먹어라.

Dinner is ready. Come and get it!

저녁 안 먹을래. 입맛이 없어

I'll skip my dinner. I lost my appetite.

좋을대로 해.

Have it your way.

먼저 일어나도 되죠?

May I be excused?

화장실 다녀올게.

Nature calls me.

가 볼만해.

It's worth visiting.

안가보면 후회할걸.

You'll be sorry if you miss that place.

너 어느 팀 응원하는데?

Which team are you rooting for?

조금만 참아.

Hang in there.

속이 울렁거리네.

I'm feeling a little queasy.

숨 좀 돌리자.

Let's catch our breath.

우연히 만났어.

I ran into her.

생각 많이 안 해봤는데.

I haven't given it a lot of thought.

You got a minute?

시간 있어요?

시간 나면 알려주세요.

Please let me know if you can free up some time.

나눠서 내자.

Let's split the bill.

얼마 주면 되지?

What do I owe you?

남은 음식 좀 싸 주실래요?

Can I have a doggy bag, please?

I've been hooked on video games for the last few days.

요 며칠 게임에 빠져 있었어.

Look who's talking. Mind your own business.

누가 할 소리. 너나 잘해.

I wasn't born yesterday.

나도 알건 알아.

Knock it off!

그만 해

You'll never guess what happened last night.

어제 밤에 무슨일 있었는지 상상도 못할 걸.

I don't buy it.

믿질 못하겠다.

I have a lot on my mind.

생각이 많아서 머리가 복잡해.

You look young for your age.

나이보다 젊어 보인다.

I get that a lot.

그런 말 많이 들어.

I'm not picky about food.

난 가리는 음식 없어요.

Can you do me a favor?

부탁 하나만 들어줄래?

You sleep in every day.

매일 늦잠 자네.

I couldn't sleep a wink.

한숨도 못 잤어.

I don't think I'll be able to make it on time.

제 시간에 못 도착할 것 같다.

Speaking of which,

말이 나와서 말인데,

You should go by the book.

원칙대로 해야 해.

What's bothering you?

무슨 고민 있어?

I'm feeling left out sometimes.

가끔 소외된 기분이야.

I can't thank you enough.

정말 고마워

How about a little hair of the dog?

해장술 한잔 어때?

I think I'll pass.

사양할게.

Something urgent came up suddenly.

갑자기 급한 일이 생겼어.

I haven't seen you around for a while.

Present continuous(I am doing)

We use the continuous for things happening at or around the time of speaking. The action is not complete.

e.g)

Listen to those people. What language are they speaking?

Let's go out. It isn't raining now.

I'm busy. What are you doing?

I'm getting hungry. Let's go and eat.

Kate wants to work in Italy, so she's learning ltalian.

The population of the world is increasing very fast.

We use the continuous for temporary situations 

e.g)

You're working hard today. Yes, I have a lot to do.

Present simple(I do)

We use the simple for things in general or things that happen repeatedly.

e.g)

Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.

Excuse me, do you speak English?

It doesn't rain very much in summer.

What do you usually do at weekends?

I always get hungry in the afternoon.

Most people learn to swim when they are children.

Every day the population of the word increases by about 200,000 people.

We use the simple for permanent situations

e.g)

Joe isn't lazy. He works hard most of the time

We use continuous forms for actions and happenings that have started but not finished (they are eating./ It is raining etc.). Some verbs are not normally used in this way. We don't say 'I am knowing' or 'they are liking' ; we say 'I know', 'they like'

The following verbs are not normally used in the present continuous:

like / want / need / prefer

know / realize / suppose / mean / understand / believe / remember

belong / fit / contain / consist / seem

e.g)

I'm hungry. I want something to eat.

Do you understand what I mean?

Anna doesn't seem very happy at the moment.

When think means 'believe' or 'have an opinion' , we do not use the continuous:

e.g)

I think Mary is Canadian, but I'm not sure.

What do you think of my plan?

When think means 'consider' , the continuous is possible:

e.g)

I'm thinking about what happened. I often think about it.

Nicky is thinking of giving up her job. 

We normally use the present simple (not continuous) with these verbs(see hear smell taste)

e.g)

Do you see that man over there?

This room smells. Let's open a window.

You can use the present simple or continuous to say how somebody looks or feels now:

e.g)

You look well today. or You're looking well today.

How do you feel now? or How are you feeling now?

but I usually feel tired in the morning. (not I'm usually feeling)

Passive Present continuous(be being done)

active : am/is/are + (do)ing

passive : am/is/are + being (done)

e.g)

Somebody is cleaning the room at the moment.

The room is being cleaned at the moment.

There's somebody walking behind us. I think we are being followed.

(In a shop) Can I help you? No, thanks. I'm being served.

The passive of doing/seeing etc. is being done / being seen etc. Compare:

active   : I don't like people telling me what to do.

passive : I don't like being told what to do.

e.g)

I remember being taken to the zoo when I was child. (=I remember somebody taking me to the zoo.)

Steve hates being kept waiting. ( = He hates people keeping him waiting.)

We managed to climb over the wall without being seen. ( = without anybody seeing us.)

Magic tree house 의 8권까지 진행하였다.

8권의 영어원서를 읽어보니, 그동안 많은 영어문장을 읽기는 했지만, 아직까지도 영어문장에 익숙하지 않은 것 같다. 영어단어를 공부하고 외운지도 오래되었고, 영어가 필요한 환경에 노출된 적도 많지 않아서 그런지, 쉽지 않은 상황들이다. 다만, 목표한 바가 있고, 그 목표에 다다르기 위해서 노력해야하기 때문에, 꾸준히 하려고 노력하는 중이다. 학생때처럼 많은 시간 공부할 수 있는 것은 아니지만, 그래도 나름대로 시간을 내서 해보려고 한다. 학생이었을 때와는 다르게 강제적인 상황은 없기 때문에 나 스스로 목표를 정하고 그 목표를 이루기 위해 노력하면 되기 때문에 부담은 적고, 편한 것은 사실이다.

Magic tree house 8번째 시리즈 제목은 Midnight on the moon 이다. Jack 과 Annie는 우주, 달로 모험을 떠나게 된다. 어릴 적 우주에 대한 관심도 있었는데, 어느 순간부터인가는 그에 대해서도 많이 잊어버린 것 같다. 그런 것을 보면 Magic tree house의 내용들이 어릴 적 나에 기억을 조금씩 회상하게 해주는 것도 있어서 재미있게 읽는 상황도 생기는 것 같다. 유치하기도 하지만 그래도 재미를 느낄 수 있으니 다행이다. 이런 것들이 모여 꾸준히 읽어나갈 수 있는 원동력이 되는 것 같다. Jack 과 Annie 는 달에서 M의 관한 단서를 찾게 되고, 마법사에게 도움을 주게 된다. 4권에서 M, 마법사가 나와서 놀랐었는데, 8권에서도 역시 5~7권의 내용이 마무리 되면서 이야기가 끝나게 된다. 4권까지 읽고 난 후에는 몰랐는데, 해당 시리즈가 4권 단위로 비슷한 전개로 시작되고, 각 권의 내용과 시리즈 전개의 내용이 합쳐져서 진행되는 것 같다.

28권 이후에 더 시리즈가 진행되기는 하지만, 일단은 28권까지 읽기로 목표를 정했기 때문에, 4권이 하나의 책으로 본다면 7권의 원서를 읽는 것과 같지 않을까 생각한다.

7권이라 하니 조금은 목표가 줄어드는 것 같아서 부담이 적어지지만, 그래도 꾸준히 할 수 있도록 노력해야 겠다.

매직트리하우스 7권째 읽기를 마쳤다.

영어로 책을 읽는다는 게 아직까지도 쉽지만은 않다. 대학교를 졸업하고 나서 긴 글을 읽은 적도 공부를 제대로 한 적도 없는 것 같다. 대학교 졸업을 마지막으로 따로 관심있는 분야를 찾아서 독서를 하지 않는 이상 독서습관을 유지하기가 쉽지만은 않았다. 해당 책은 영어도 습득할 겸 해서 하는 독서지만, 사람은 항상 나태해지고 게을러지는 습성이 있는 것인지, 아니면 나만의 문제인지 습관화해서 꾸준히 하는 것에는 약간 힘겨움이 있다.

매직트리하우스의 7권의 제목은 Sunset of the sabertooth 이다.

솔직히 이번 책의 내용은 잘 기억이 나지 않는다. 일단은 Saberthooth의 뜻을 정확히 알지 못했고, 내용을 읽으면서 놓치는 부분이 꽤 많았던 것으로 기억난다. 모르는 단어가 나올 경우 English 사전을 이용하던지 해야하는데, 조금 뒤에 부분을 읽다보면 내용은 대부분 이어지기 때문에, 몰랐던 부분이 어디였는지 기억을 하지 않는 이상 계속해서 넘어가게 되는 것 같다.

해당 책에서 Jack 과 Annie는 책 속으로 또 모험을 하게 되는데, 책 표지와 같이 추운 곳으로 이동하게 되고, 부츠, 두터운 외투를 얻고 여행을 한다. 역시 중간중간 위험이 있지만, 그를 이겨내고 다시 단서를 찾아 집으로 돌아오게 된다.

읽는 습관이 아직은 완벽하지는 않지만 포기하지 않는 것으로 의지를 다지고 좀 더 꾸준히 할 수 있도록 해야겠다.
