[williamahn]

           ***** My stomach is in a knots. *****

                               (속이 울렁거려요.)

        Tips=[1]= 오늘의 표현은 과도한 긴장으로 인해 배 속이 꼬인 듯 울렁거리는 상태를 뜻한다.

                                        그대로 해석하면 "위가 매듭지어져 있다"인데,

                                        긴장으로 "속이 울렁거려요"라는 의미를 나타낸다.

                                        동일한 뜻으로 " I've got buterflies in my stomach."이라고 할 수도 있다.
