         Tips=[1]= "unwound"는 "긴장을 풀다"라는 의미가 있어서

                (1670)(A) Do you know why Ciara is pacing up

                                and down the corridor?

                    (B) I think she's all wound up because

                                she's next to get a performance review.

                          (A) Oh, dear.

                                 Boy, am I glad I'm a freelancer.

                           =pace:서성거리다      =corridor: 복도    =performance review:직원업무평가      

                                      =Oh,dear:저런         =Boy, am I glad:(안도를 나타낼때)~라서 정말 다행이다.
