[눈낭구]

안녕하세요 English with Yoo! 의 Jennifer Yoo입니다. English with Yoo! 는 일상생활에서 자주 쓰이는 다양한 표현들을  익히는 시간입니다.

I’ll give you a daily introduction to some meaningful and useful everyday English words and phrases! So let’s get started today!
 

오늘의 영어 표현은:  To check out / to check (~) out 입니다.

In America, we have something called “Take Our Children to Work Day”. 미국에는  자녀들을 직장에 데려와서  여기저기 구경시켜주는 날이 있는데요 부모와 자녀 모두가 손꼽아 기다리는  날입니다. Kids get a day off from school and get to follow their mom or dad around at work. 아이들은 하루 동안 학교를 쉬면서 부모님이 일하는 회사가 어떤 곳인지 볼 수 있으니까 말이죠.

Let’s listen to a conversation I had with Dave and his daughter, Rachel.

Jen: So it’s bring your kids to work day, who do you have with you?

Jen: What are they doing for today?  What do guys have planned?
Rachel & Casey: Umm…not sure!
Jen: Aww…they said they’re not sure. Do you know?

미국의 소리 방송 복도와 로비에서 어린 학생들을 만나니  무척 신선한 기분이 들었습니다.  It was definitely refreshing to see kids in the hallways and lobby of Voice of America.

저는 “직장에 자녀를 데려오는 날”에   Dave의 딸 Rachel과 그녀의 친구를 마주쳤습니다.  When I asked what activities they have done or are planning to do, Dave는 ‘they have been on tours and checked out the studios’ 라고 했죠?

오늘의 영어 표현은: To check out / to check (~) out 이죠? ‘To check out / to check (~something) out means to take a look at something, to examine or try something.

To check / C H E C K / out / O U T…to check out 또는 to check (~ something) out은 ‘~에 대해 알아보다 / ~확인해보다/ ~시도해보다’ 라는 뜻입니다.  

그럼 대화를 다시 들어보겠습니다. Let’s listen to the conversation again. Listen carefully.
