              Tips=[1]= 오늘의 표현 get one's hopes up 은

                                          "크게 기대하다", 큰기대를 하다"라는 의미를 갖이고 있다.

                                          "기대를 높이 올려 놓으면" 실망하는 경우가 많기 때문에

                                          "너무기대하지 말라"라는 말을 자주한다.

                                          "Don't get your hopes up."이라는 문장까지 함게 기억합시다.

                             (A) I looked at your investiment portofolio

                                      and see that over 90% of your savings are in GloboCorp stock.

                                        (당신의 포트포리오를 살펴보니 모은 돈의 90%이상을 GloboCorp주식에 투자되여 있드군요.)

                                (B) Yeah, I'm really confident

                                      that company is going to make me rich.
