[williamahn]

              ***** make one's jaw drop *****

                              ( 입이 쩍 벌어지게 하다 )

           Tips=[1]= "jaw"라는 단어는 "턱"이라는 뜻인데

                                             오늘의 표현을 번역하면 "~의 턱을 떨어지게 하다"가된다.

                                             따라서 이 표현은 뭔가 대단한것을 보고 놀랍다고 할 때 사용한다.

                                             우리 표현으로 "입이 벌어지게 하다"와 같은 의미이다.

            (1159)(A) So, you went to Jim's coktail party

                                           last Saturday, didn't you? 

                                    How was it?

                              (B) It was like I was in another world. 

                                    All of the guests showed up

                                          in designer clothes and shoes. 

                                    And their cars made my jaw drop.

                              (A) That's because most of them

                                         are from rich families. 

                                    Jim met them at his private high school.

                                     =designer clothes: 명품 옷         =private school:사립학교

                                              (B) 와전 다른 세상 같드라구. 손님들 모두가 명품 옷이랑 구두로 치잔하고 말이지.

                                                    몰고온 차들을 보니가 입이 쩍 벌어지드라.

                                               (A) 그건 그들 대부분이 부잣집 사람들이라 그럴거야. 짐이 사립학교 시절 만난 사람들이야.
